(no subject)
Yeah, I know I haven't posted anything of any real merit recently. I do plan on making an entry about CONvergence, because that was just awesome, but I don't think I have the mind power right now.
...That always seems to trip me up, not having mind powers. So many of my problems would be solved if I were a Jedi.
Anyway! Here's the Friday Five survey of the week. This one seemed like it would be a lot of fun, just because I really like quotes.
What is your favorite quote....
1) ... on family?
"To lose one parent, Mr. Worthing, may be regarded as misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness."
- Oscar Wilde, The Importance of Being Ernest
"Above the hearth was a huge needlepoint sign saying 'Mother'. No tyrant in the whole history of the world had ever achieved a domination so complete."
-Terry Pratchett, Wyrd Sisters
2) ... on relationships? (marriage, friendships, etc)
"There are some things you can't share without ending up liking each other."
- J.K. Rowling
"A marriage is always made up of two people who are prepared to swear that only the other one snores."
- Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant
3) ... attitude?
"If I were to wish for anything, I should not wish for wealth and power, but for the passionate sense of the potential, for the eye which, ever young and ardent, sees the possible. Pleasure disappoints, possibility never. And what wine is so sparkling, what so fragrant, what so intoxicating, as possibility!"
- Soren Aaby Kierkegaard
"I never make stupid mistakes. Only very, very clever ones."
- The Doctor, Doctor Who
4) ... happiness?
"You can't go around building a better world for people. Only people can build a better world for people. Otherwise it's just a cage."
- Terry Pratchett, Witches Abroad
"A man may fight for many things: his country, his principles, his friends, the glistening tear on the cheek of a golden child. But personally I'd mud wrestle my own mother for a ton of cash, an amusing clock, and a sack of French porn!"
-Blackadder
5) ... success?
"The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly - that is what each of us is here for."
- Oscar Wilde
"My mother said to me, 'If you become a soldier, you'll be a general; if you become a monk, you'll end up as the Pope.' Instead, I became a painter and wound up as Picasso."
- Pablo Picasso
I wish the topics had been more conducive to my more entertaining quotes, but I suppose the survey was designed to make you go "huh"....
