Quotable Quotes

-Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken-
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference

Someone must play the minor parts, Someone must hold the spear, And someone, when the music starts, Must follow in the rear. Not everyone can be the star, That shines with great white light, But some must twinkle from afar To harmonize the night.

-Terry Pratchett, Jingo-
It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone´s fault. If it was Us, what did that make Me? After all, I´m one of Us. I must be. I´ve certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No-one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We´re always one of Us. It´s Them that do the bad things.

-Leonardo Da Vinci-
As a well spent day brings happy sleep, so life well used brings happy death.

-Elbert Hubbard-
Don't take life too seriously. You'll never escape it alive anyway.

-Dale Schmitz-
Don't take yourself too seriously. You'll miss out on the most enjoyable person you'll ever meet.

Sometimes the more you think, the more there is no real answer.

-Charles M. Schulz-
No problem is so formidable that you can't walk away from it.

-William Hazlitt-
The most fluent talkers or most plausible reasoners are not always the justest thinkers

-Russell Blowers-
A Church is a hospital for sinners; not a club for saints.

-John Marsden-
Our cravings canno't be comforted by our creativity, although we like to think they can. A million words after writing 'Look Homeward Angel' Thomas Wolfe was still tormented. After a million notes, Beethoven was not happy, after a million brush strokes, Van Gogh cut off his ear.

-Howard Kandel-
He who trains his tongue to quote the learned sages, will be known far and wide as a smart ass.
