What is your favourite quote(s)? Who/what do you find yourself quoting most often?

[[Aeria-Gloris]]

I’m awful. I quote everything.

Monty python
Family guy
Futurama
Whatever book I’m reading
Starwars
LOTR (obv!)
People I respect (both historical and who I know)

I’ll have to let it run I’m my head and see who I quote in the next few days I think. I just hope its not this show we have over here called Little Britain. Anybody from my neck of the woods will know exactly what I mean!

I've been known to quote Monty Python too. "And now for something completely different"

I've also quoted Bob and Doug MacKenzie - "He's a genius eh; he knows the atlas." - Usually heavy on the sarcasm.

I quote some movies I've recently watched too.

My hubby is really bad (or should that be good) at quoting from movies and mixes them right in with what he's saying, so you have to think twice sometiimes.

I was recently speaking at a globalisation conference in Frankfurt and it was really dragging. Constantly listening to the fragmented mono-tone translators was sending the British delegates (at least) to sleep! It was during one lunch break that we (quite immature and unprofessionally) decided to try and squeeze song titles into our speeches.

It started off quite light. One man mentioned that he was from Scarborough then went on to quote lines from ‘Scarborough faire’. Another man likened feuds between trade unions and higher management to ‘when two tribes go to war’ to everyone who spoke English’s amusement.

I myself cant claim to be guilt free having managed to slip ‘I am the one and only’, ‘one week’, ‘come fly with me’ and ‘don’t look back in anger’ all into one address to congress! Not bad eh?

Golly, I have lots of favorite quotes. Lemme think of a few.


You should have thought of that before you broke the rules.
Sometimes the heart sees what is invisible to the eye.


I really can't think of any other.

Simpsons, Family Guy, WWE, movies, books... And people around =)

[Beren Erchamion]

Montaigne, Dostoyevsky, Jeremy Stone, Ray Bradbury, and Heinlein are the sources of most of my quotes...
some of my favorites...

"Adversity is a strainer which refuses to pass the ill-equipped." --Robert Heinlein

"The survival value of human intelligence has never been satisfactorily demonstrated." --Jeremy Stone

"Let us answer to ambition that it is she herself who gives us a taste for solitude." --Montaigne

"It really is of importance, not only what men do, but what manner of men they are who do it... among the works of man, surely of most importance is man himself." --John Stuart Mill

[spiritmage]

I often quote one from the original Star Trek .

from the episode ," The Trouble with Tribbles "

"as for what you want , Mr Barris , ....It has been noted and logged !"

[Lomadia]

Shakespeare, definitely. In fact, he was the first to use so many phrases that are now household words (that, by the way, is one such phrase), that he's probably one of the most-quoted sources for all of us. Hamlet has proved especially useful to me. The "To be or not to be" monologue is an absolute inspiration to me- and its lines have come in handy in many essays.

I quote everything too.

[Elanor]

I used to be horrible with quoting Friends, I'm glad that phase passed over.
Lately it's been Terry Pratchett's Discworld ,,"Sarge?Sarge?") and the Office.

I quote books and movies all the time and these three catchy phrases I've seen on magnets and such
~ Normal is boring
~ People who are organized are just too lazy to look for things
~ I don't suffer from insanity.... I enjoy every minute of it!
