Some quotes - 'I don’t care for striking, I can’t take the trouble to raise my hand.' - Wuthering Heights 'Some cause happiness wherever they go; others, whenever they go.' - Oscar Wilde 'I like talking to a brick wall, it's the only thing in the world that never contradicts me.' - Lady Windermere's Fan 'To lose one parent may be regarded as a misfortune; to lose both looks like carelessness.' - The Importance of Being Earnest 'Experience is the name everyone gives to their mistakes.' - Oscar Wilde 'Always forgive your enemies - nothing annoys them so much.' - Oscar Wilde 'I can resist everything except temptation.' - Oscar Wilde 'I've often wished I could go back into the closet, but it's so full of other actors who don't want to come out' - Sir. Ian McKellen 'Will I come down? Does an unarmed man come down to speak with robbers out of doors? I do not trust you Gandalf. Though they do not stand openly on my step I know where the wild wood demons are lurking at your command.' - Saruman, Two Towers 'So do all who live to see such times but that is not for them to decide. All they have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to them' - Gandalf, Fellowship. 'The Road Goes ever on and on, down from the door where it began, now far ahead the road has gone and I must follow if I can, Pursuing it with eager feet, Until it join some larger way, Where many paths and errands meet. And whither then? I cannot say.' - Lord of the Rings 'To see a World in a Grain of Sand And a Heaven in a Wild Flower, Hold Eternity in the palm of your hand And Infinity in an hour.' - William Blake 'All that is gold does not glitter; not all those that wander are lost. The old that is strong does not wither, deep roots are not reached by the frost. From the ashes a fire shall be woken, a light from the shadows shall spring; renewed shall be blade that was broken, the crownless again shall be king.' - Lord of the rings 'I don't know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.' - Lord of the rings 'Men willingly believe what they wish.' - Julius Caesar 'The truth is incontrovertible, malice may attack it, ignorance may deride it, but in the end; there it is.' - Sir. Winston Churchill 'The quality of mercy is not strained; It droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven Upon the place beneath. It is twice blessed- It blesseth him that gives, and him that takes.' Shakespeare 'A typical celebrity status sounds like a really weird disease.' - Johnny Depp 'If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.' - JRR Tolkien, he really hit the nail on the head here. 'Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.' - Gandalf. 'I don't know who Peter Lorre is. Pathetic right? It shows you how completely gross and uncultured my generation is.' - Christina Ricci 'A lie told often enough becomes the truth.' - Lenin 'My significant other right now is myself, which is what happens when you suffer from multiple personality disorder and self-obsession.' - Joaquin Phoenix 'Excluding the possibility that a female Scandinavian Olympian was running around outside our house last night, what else could it have been?' - Merrill Hess (From Signs) 'It's a dream. A frightful dream - Life is.' - Commodus (From Gladiator) 'It's so easy to laugh. It's so easy to hate. It takes strength to be gentle and kind.' - Morrissey 'When the Gods wish to punish us, they answer our prayers.' - Oscar Wilde 'The well-bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves.' - Oscar Wilde 'Nothing annoys people so much as not receiving invitations.' - The Importance... 'Once a man begins to neglect his domestic duties he becomes painfully effeminate, does he not? And I don't like that. It makes men so very attractive.' - The Importance... 'How marriage ruins a man. It's as demoralising as cigarettes, and far more expensive.' - Lady Windermere's Fan |
