Day 6, Tuesday. A favourite quote and why it’s special
Oh dear god, how do I pick just one? I like quotes. I collect them. I don't have the time to dig up all of my favorites.
So have some ones from my LJ profile, because they still matter:
Spinning my wheels on the launchpad, spitting I dunno and itch. -- Flip, quoting Groupthink, from Bellwether by Connie Willis
* Bellwether is in my top 10 favorite books, easily. It's love and math and geekery, and it was given to me by one of my dearest friends, and I'm a little proud of being a Bellwether in a tiny way this past Saturday. (Long story.) Flip's quote defines that weird feeling, of being bored but twitchy, seeking something but not knowing what, needing something but not knowing where to start looking. Itch.
if you're working on loving, forever probably comes before you know it. -- this_monograph
*When I was going through my divorce, I was a little devestated by failing to love forever. That was my promise and something I deeply wanted, and deeply wanted to believe in. What my friend did with this quote was twist the way I looked at it into something more believable and achievable. Don't work on forever; work on the love.
I'd rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints, sinners are much more fun -- Billy Joel, "Only the Good Die Young"
*It's cheesy, it's overused, and everyone's heard it. I don't care. Billy Joel is a huge part of my childhood, and I still love him and his music. I still love this song. And I still believe this quote.
