The meeting of two personalities is like the contact of two chemical substances: if there is any reaction, both are transformed. - Carl Jung, psychologist
I love Babylong 5. Here are some of my favorite quotes from the show:
"We are the universe, trying to understand itself." -- Delenn to Brother Edward in Babylon 5:"Passing Through Gethsemane"
"Notice the waves, each moving in its own order, predictable, unchanging. But drop in a single stone and see how the pattern changes. Everything around it is altered." -- Ambassador Delenn to Sinclair in Babylon 5:"The Gathering"
"On my world, there are books, thousands of pages, about the power of one mind to change the Universe, but none said it as clearly as this [zen garden]." -- Delenn to Sinclair in Babylon 5:"The Gathering"
"I would never tell you anything that was not in your best interest." -- Delenn to Sinclair in Babylon 5:"The Gathering"
- k.t.
"You must let go. Surrender yourself to death. The death of flesh, the death of fear. Step into the abyss, and let go." - Lorien to Sheridan in Babylon 5:"Whatever Happened to Mr. Garibaldi?"
Thanks for the linke to Babylon5 quote finder. With it, I found my favorite quote!
- Florence Schmidt
I didn't see a 'book' section - maybe you haven't gotten around to posting one (I've bookmaked this site and will come back often - I like what I see here). Anyhow, this is my favorite passage in a poem/book/quote:
"Through me the way into the suffering city,
Through me the way to the eternal pain,
Through me the way that runs among the lost.
Justice urged on my high artificer;
My maker was divine authority,
The highest wisdom, and the primal love.
Before me nothing but eternal things were made,
And I endure eternally.
Abandon every hope, ye who enter here."
- Dante, "Inferno"
I'm a geek, so here's my favorite quote so far (I can always count on Scott McNealy to deliver!):
"The visual I see is a slow-motion collision of two garbage trucks." - Scott McNealy [referring to HP-Compaq]
Here are a few quotes by Aristotle:
"A friend is a second self."
"Hope is a waking dream."
"All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsion, habit, reason, passion, and desire."
"Pleasure in the job puts perfection in the work."
"We are what we repeatedly do."
"What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies."
"We make war that we may live in peace."
- Colbert G.
"Let Them Eat Cake" - Marie Antoinette [upon hearing that the lower classes of France were starving, lacking mainly bread.]
I love the Babylon 5 quote search:
"Then I will tell you a great secret, Captain. Perhaps the greatest of all time. The molecules of your body are the same molecules that make up this station and the nebula outside, that burn inside the stars themselves. We are starstuff, we are the universe made manifest, trying to figure itself out. As we have both learned, sometimes the universe requires a change of perspective."
-- Delenn to Sheridan in Babylon 5:"A Distant Star"
I forgot to post this one:
"There is strength enough in one mind, one soul, to change the universe. Can you imagine how much strength there would be in one billion souls, all focused on escape?"
-- Soul Hunter in Babylon 5:"The River of Souls"
"There can only be one."
That's from "Highlander" - I think it was the tagline of the movie, actually.
"May you live in a more interesting time." - Old Chinese Proverb
This is a back-handed curse, actually.
I know, it's not a quote (maybe start a poem page?) .. but I like it:
I'm nobody! Who are you?
Are you nobody, too?
Then there's a pair of us — don't tell!
They'd banish us, you know.
How dreary to be somebody!
How public, like a frog
To tell your name the livelong day
To an admiring bog!
- emily dickinson
From Clive Barker's "Nightbreed"
"To be able to fly? To be smoke, or a wolf; to know the night, and live in it forever? That's not so bad. You call us monsters, but when you dream, it's of flying and hanging, and living without death. You envy us. And what you envy..."
1: Virginity like bubble, one prick, all gone.
2: Man who run in front of car get tired.
3: Man who run behind car get exhausted.
4: Man with hand in pocket feel cocky all day.
5: Foolish man give wife grand piano, wise man give wife upright organ.
6: Man who walk through airport turnstile sideways going to Bangkok.
7: Man with one chopstick go hungry.
8: Man who scratch ass should not bite fingernails.
9: Man who eat many prunes get good run for money.
10: Baseball is wrong: man with four balls cannot walk.
11: Panties not best thing on earth! But next to best thing on earth.
12: War does not determine who is right, war determine who is left.
13: Wife who put husband in doghouse soon find him in cat house.
14: Man who fight with wife all day get no piece at night.
15: It take many nails to build crib, but one screw to fill it.
16: Man who drive like hell, bound to get there.
17: Man who stand on toilet is high on pot.

19: Man who fish in other man's well often catch crabs.
20: Man who fart in church sit in own pew.
21: Crowded elevator smell different to midget.
[Pippin: I didn't think it would end this way.]
Gandalf: End? No, the journey doesn't end here. Death is just another path... One that we all must take. The grey rain curtain of this world rolls back, and all turns to silver glass. And then you see it.
[Pippin: What, Gandalf? See what?]
Gandalf: White shores... And beyond. A far green country, under a swift sunrise.
[Pippin: Well... That isn't so bad.]
Gandalf: No. No, it isn't.
Star Trek Quotes ....
Troi: I should warn you, Sir, my mother is a little ... eccentric.
Haven
Lwaxana: After the young couple have removed their clothing -
Tasha: You mean the bride and groom go naked?
Lwaxana: All guests must go unclothed. It honours the act of love being celebrated. (To Mrs Miller) Oh you needn't worry too much, dear, your body's not that bad. Your husband quite likes the idea of seeing me unclothed.
Haven
Troi: Mother, don't you think it would be a good idea if you actually met the man you're going to marry before committing to spend the rest of your life with him?
Lwaxana: Deanna, I love you but you do make everything sound like an epitaph.
Cost of Living
Picard: Permission for an onboard wedding is granted. Nothing would please me more than to give away Mrs Troi.
Cost of Living
Lwaxana: Making little boys reasonable only gives them pimples!
Cost of Living
Sonorous-voiced guy: HOLD! What is the lesson for today?
Lwaxana: Oh, damned if we know, we're just here for some fun and a mudbath.
SVG: Every moment requires a purpose.
Lwaxana to Alexander: No it doesn't!
SVG: Every purpose requires a moment!
Juggler: He does this every day, usually while everyone's food is getting cold. It's rather boring.
SVG: The hiiiigheeerrrr ... the feeewwwweeeerrrr...
Lwaxana: Well, that's a conversation-stopper if I ever heard one!
Cost of Living
Lwaxana: The great secret is not the variety of life, it's the variety of us.
Cost of Living
Alexander: Are you very old?
Lwaxana, after a long pause: I'm alone, Alex. And when you do get older, and you can no longer pick and choose from whatever may come your way, then you do what we call compromise. It keeps you from being afraid.
Cost of Living
Lwaxana to Troi: You poor dear! Don't they ever let you change those colourless uniforms?
Cost of Living
Troi: We still have to learn how to live in the real world, mother, all of us.
Lwaxana: She's absolutely right, Alexander, but only when necessary.
Cost of Living
Odo: Every sixteenth hour, I turn into a liquid!
Lwaxana: I can swim.
The Forsaken
Lwaxana: No one's ever seen me like this before.
Odo: Why? It looks fine.
Lwaxana: It looks ordinary. I've never cared for ordinary.
The Forsaken
Lwaxana: Someone once said that life is a search to find the peace you once had when you were safe inside your mother.
Odo: I didn't have a mother.
Lwaxana: Don't worry, it's all right. You'll find your peace just the same.
The Muse
Michael Savage, NY Post

“Here’s a woman who made a career as a pseudo-pornographic belly dancer cavorting with a whip, and now suddenly, after having a baby, she pretends to be a holy woman riding her bicycle in England on her country estate with her imbecilic buddy, Gwyneth Paltrow. They both fled America because America wasn’t clean enough for their offspring. In Madonna’s view, we’re a spiritually bankrupt nation—which she helped create!
"the universe has the best interest for each of us, but it's not always obvious." ~ nam lamore
From Romy & Michele's Highschool Reunion.
Lisa Luder: Actually Christie. They have nice lines. A fun, frisky use of color. All and all, I'd have to say they're really... NOT BAD!
------
Romy: Swear to God, sometimes I wish I was a lesbian.
Michele: Do you want to try, to see if we are?
Romy: What? Yeah, right, Michelle. Just the idea of having sex with another woman creeps me out. But if we're still single at 30, ask me again.
Michele: Okay.
-------
Christie: So, Mi-chelle! What are you up to?
Michele: Actually I invented a special kind of glue.
Christie: Oh really? Well then I'm sure you wouldn't mind giving us a detailed account of how exactly you concocted this miracle glue, would you?
Michele: No. Um, well, ordinarily when you make glue first you need to thermoset your resin and then after it cools you have to mix in a Poxide which is really just a fancy schmancy name for any simple oxygenated adhesive, right? And then I thought maybe, just maybe, you could raise the viscosity by adding a complex glucose derivative during the emulsification process and it turns out I was right.
-------------
Michele: I'm the Mary, and you're the Rhoda.
Romy: YOU'RE the Rhoda, you're the Jewish one.
-------------
Heather: This dress exacerbates the genetic betrayal that is my legacy.
Michele: OK, I don't even know what you're talking about cause of those words, but come here.
--------------
Romy: You have absolutely no proof that you're cuter.
Michele: Oh, proof. You want proof? Ok, fine. Who lost their virginity first?
Romy: Oh, big wow, with your cousin Barry. I wouldn't brag about it.
----------
[Michele is a at job interview]
Michele: Well, my first choice was to work at a boutique on Rodeo Drive, but this would be okay.

Picard: Permission for an onboard wedding is granted. Nothing would please me more than to give away Mrs Troi.

Lwaxana: Making little boys reasonable only gives them pimples!

Sonorous-voiced guy: HOLD! What is the lesson for today?
Lwaxana: Oh, damned if we know, we're just here for some fun and a mudbath.
SVG: Every moment requires a purpose.
Lwaxana to Alexander: No it doesn't!
SVG: Every purpose requires a moment!
Juggler: He does this every day, usually while everyone's food is getting cold. It's rather boring.
SVG: The hiiiigheeerrrr ... the feeewwwweeeerrrr...
Lwaxana: Well, that's a conversation-stopper if I ever heard one!

Lwaxana: The great secret is not the variety of life, it's the variety of us.

Alexander: Are you very old?
Lwaxana, after a long pause: I'm alone, Alex. And when you do get older, and you can no longer pick and choose from whatever may come your way, then you do what we call compromise. It keeps you from being afraid.

Lwaxana to Troi: You poor dear! Don't they ever let you change those colourless uniforms?
Cost of Living
Troi: We still have to learn how to live in the real world, mother, all of us.
Lwaxana: She's absolutely right, Alexander, but only when necessary.

Odo: Every sixteenth hour, I turn into a liquid!
Lwaxana: I can swim.
The Forsaken
Lwaxana: No one's ever seen me like this before.
Odo: Why? It looks fine.
Lwaxana: It looks ordinary. I've never cared for ordinary.
The Forsaken
Lwaxana: Someone once said that life is a search to find the peace you once had when you were safe inside your mother.
Odo: I didn't have a mother.
Lwaxana: Don't worry, it's all right. You'll find your peace just the same.

“Here’s a woman who made a career as a pseudo-pornographic belly dancer cavorting with a whip, and now suddenly, after having a baby, she pretends to be a holy woman riding her bicycle in England on her country estate with her imbecilic buddy, Gwyneth Paltrow. They both fled America because America wasn’t clean enough for their offspring. In Madonna’s view, we’re a spiritually bankrupt nation—which she helped create!

From Romy & Michele's Highschool Reunion.
Lisa Luder: Actually Christie. They have nice lines. A fun, frisky use of color. All and all, I'd have to say they're really... NOT BAD!
------
Romy: Swear to God, sometimes I wish I was a lesbian.
Michele: Do you want to try, to see if we are?
Romy: What? Yeah, right, Michelle. Just the idea of having sex with another woman creeps me out. But if we're still single at 30, ask me again.
Michele: Okay.
-------
Christie: So, Mi-chelle! What are you up to?
Michele: Actually I invented a special kind of glue.
Christie: Oh really? Well then I'm sure you wouldn't mind giving us a detailed account of how exactly you concocted this miracle glue, would you?
Michele: No. Um, well, ordinarily when you make glue first you need to thermoset your resin and then after it cools you have to mix in a Poxide which is really just a fancy schmancy name for any simple oxygenated adhesive, right? And then I thought maybe, just maybe, you could raise the viscosity by adding a complex glucose derivative during the emulsification process and it turns out I was right.
-------------
Michele: I'm the Mary, and you're the Rhoda.
Romy: YOU'RE the Rhoda, you're the Jewish one.
-------------
Heather: This dress exacerbates the genetic betrayal that is my legacy.
Michele: OK, I don't even know what you're talking about cause of those words, but come here.
--------------
Romy: You have absolutely no proof that you're cuter.
Michele: Oh, proof. You want proof? Ok, fine. Who lost their virginity first?
Romy: Oh, big wow, with your cousin Barry. I wouldn't brag about it.
----------
[Michele is a at job interview]
Michele: Well, my first choice was to work at a boutique on Rodeo Drive, but this would be okay.
speak up!
