I've already got a project and thes be the quotes that are going on the posterboard. Enjoy, feel free to post some. Whatever.
“Always be hopeful my darling, there is much to be hopeful about.” – Adam Barr
“Many of the truths on which we rely strongly depend on our point of view.” – Devon Nix
“There should be no regrets in life; there should be mistakes that you learn from.” – John Nazzaro
“I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I cannot transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn’t impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.” – Anais Nin
“I have not ceased being fearful, but I have ceased to let fear control me. I have accepted fear as a part of life – specifically the fear if change, the fear of change, the fear of the unknown; and my heart that says: turn back, turn back, you’ll die if you venture too far.” – Erica Jong
“You have to care so much that you can’t sleep, you can’t eat, you can’t talk to people. It’s got to be just right. You can’t do it without that passion.” – Agnes De Mille
“When you talk to young girls today about their role models, very few of them mention a chemist like Madame Curie, or an astrophysicist like Sally Ride, or a zoologist like Jane Goodall. Instead, they look to someone like Madonna, whose crowning achievement in life is to parade around in her underwear while proclaiming herself to be a “material girl”. And people wonder why the country’s in trouble.” – Wynetka Ann Reynolds
“To me, the sea is like a person – like a child that I’ve known for a long time. It sounds crazy, I know, but when I swim in the sea I talk to it. I never feel alone when I’m out there.” – Gertrude Ederle
“What do we live for, if it is not to make life less difficult for each other?” – George Elliot
“Woman must not depend on the protection of man, but be taught to protect herself.” – Susan B. Anthony
“If we could read the secret history of our enemies, we should find in each man’s life sorrow and suffering enough to disarm all hostility.” – Henry Longfellow
“Don’t be reckless with other people’s hearts, don’t put up with people who are reckless with yours . . . Keep your old love letters, throw away your old bank statements.” – Baz Luhrman, “Everybody’s Free (to wear sunscreen)”
5 and a half hours to finish this friggin project. And I still have one more to do and a paper to write. _________________ I'm a saddened man; I'm a broken boy; I'm a toddler with a complex toy.

Those who set limits for themselves will be expected to remain in them.

A government big enough to give you everything you want is strong enough to take everything you have.
–President Ford
A sound banker, alas, is not one who foresees danger and avoids it, but one who, when he's ruined, is ruined in a conventional and orthodox way along with his fellows, so that no one can really blame him.
–John Maynard Keynes
People often say that this or that person has not yet found himself. But the self is not something that one finds. It is something that one creates.
–Thomas Szasz
First get your facts; then you can distort them at your leisure.
–Mark Twain
When trouble arises and things look bad, there is always one individual who perceives a solution and is willing to take command. Very often, that individual is crazy.

If you think it's OK to redistribute income but repellent to redistribute leisure, you might want to ask yourself what—if anything—is the fundamental difference. –Slate

My personal favorite: “Now, now, my good man, this is no time for making enemies.”

This makes Maggot_Hex a true hero in every sense of the word. Be sure to let him know how much you appreciate his digging through LoTD to find that thread so that you could post into it and read the names of other MI users who have handles on gaming networks, because he deserves the praise and accolades.

Boon - Throw these into the quote book for me? I know the last page is almost full, put as many full ones as you can fit and then start with the first page behind the first tab. Pencil, please. _________________ I'm a saddened man; I'm a broken boy; I'm a toddler with a complex toy.
