"Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." - The Princess Bride.

(You can't say you didn't see this quote coming! If you can, it must be a cultural thing! Also, this is just one of my MANY favorite quotes!)

I have about 5000 quotes I could have used so I just picked one


"So, there's this man, he has a time machine. Up and down history he goes — zip, zip, zip, zip, zip — getting into scrapes. Another thing he has is a passion for the works of Ludwig van Beethoven. Then, one day, he thinks, "What's the point in having a time machine if you don't get to meet your heroes?" So, off he goes to 18th Century Germany, but he can't find Beethoven anywhere. No one's heard of him. Not even his family have any idea who the time traveler is talking about. Beethoven literally doesn't exist. This didn't happen, by the way. I've met Beethoven. Nice chap. Very intense. Loved an arm wrestle. No, this is called the bootstrap paradox. Google it. The time traveler panics. He can't bear the thought of a world without the music of Beethoven. Luckily, he'd brought all of his Beethoven sheet music for Ludwig to sign. So, he copies out all the concertos and the symphonies, and he gets them published. He becomes Beethoven. And history continues with barely a feather ruffled. My question is this: who put those notes and phrases together? Who really composed Beethoven's Fifth?" -The Doctor

"..... Must go faster." - Dr. Ian Malcom during an unexpected (see: expected) visit from a certain T-Rex.

Gosh, I was about to crawl into bed before seeing the Twitter post from the RPR Account. :'D I don't necessarily have a favourite quote, honestly,

Here's a quote I resonate with --

"When I'm awake, I don't want to go to sleep. I don't want the hassle of turning the light off, putting my head down and then all the thoughts. I don't want all those thoughts."

-Robin Williams

Huh. Well then! Awesome you're doing this, Sanne!

Okay, quotes... Quotes... Aha! Got it!

“There is a sign in the heavens
Another light in the darkness
A better time is beginning
There is a fire star coming

I see the mark of the ice bear
In the tears of the dragon
And you'd better start wishing
There is a fire star coming

Stay with me, my love......

....Until the stars have blinked their last
Wherever on this earth you walk
He will arouse, excite, inspire,
My Valentine, my one dark fire.......”

― Chris d'Lacey, Fire Star

EEEEEEEE!

Okay, favorite quote that fits the bill? "Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." - Roald Dahl

Good luck everyone!

Mal: Ain't all buttons and charts, little albatross. Know what the first rule of flying is? Well I s'pose you do, since you already know what I'm 'bout to say.

River: I do. But I like to hear you say it.

Mal: Love. Can know all the math in the 'verse but take a boat in the air that you don't love? She'll shake you off just as sure as a turn in the worlds. Love keeps her in the air when she oughta fall down...tell you she's hurtin' 'fore she keens...makes her a home.

(These were a part of my wedding vows)

Oh gosh, so many excellent and inspiring quotes! Keep them coming!!

This sounds like fun.

"The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched- they must be felt with the heart."
-Helen Keller

Yes please!!!

"To be in love is to surpass one's self..."
-Oscar Wilde

A purpose of human life, no matter who is controlling it, is to love whoever is around to be loved. -Kurt Vonnegut

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be. - Douglas Adams

That's super generous of you Sanne!!

I have two favorite quotes, both od which are from Oscar Wilde, one of my favorite writers of all time.

To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.

I don't really have a favourite deep, philosophical quote, but this one from Tolkien stands out to me.

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.

"Given time and plenty of paper, a philosopher can prove anything." - Robert A. Heinlein

"Pain is an inevitable part of life.But in the face of the impossible you must show that you have the courage to get through,because only you have the courage to face the fears and doubts in your own mind.Like a phoenix rising from the ashes,I wear my scars proudly to show pain is temporary but true strength is unfailing and everlasting."

(I thought of this quote but I hope it still counts.)

This is a wonderful idea! And actually, I have an extra Dragon's Tooth to throw into the mix for a fourth drawing, if you want it.

I just recently cleared out a bunch of empty profiles, so it isn't like I have any need for it. And I really don't need to be adding more slots just for the hell of it...

Courage is doing what you're afraid to do. There can be no courage unless you're scared. ~Eddie Rickenbacker

It's like in the great stories Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the end because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end it's only a passing thing this shadow, even darkness must pass. A new day will come, and when the sun shines it'll shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you, that meant something even if you were too small to understand why. But I think Mr. Frodo, I do understand, I know now folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going because they were holding on to something.

~Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers

OOoooO!! This is amazing..

Happiness can be found even in the darkest of times if one only remembers to turn on the light.
-Dumbledore
