As quotes have always proved to be inspirational and all around interesting to me I want to make a space for everyone to share their favorite quotes...Or just cool quotes that they come across. If enough people contribute then this can become a great area of inspiration!
Here are just a few of mine.
"If you wish to make an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe." -Care Sagan
"Something cannot emerge from nothing." -Frank Herbert
"The most merciful thing in the world... is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents." -H. P. Lovecraft
"The world is but a canvas to the imagination." - Thoreau
"I'm not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I've always been a freak. So I've been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I'm one of those people." - John Lennon
And then, of course, there are quite a few Beatles songs that I could quote, too. But that would be a long list. You should all just go listen to the Beatles instead.
"You see things; and you say, 'Why?' But I dream things that never were; and I say, 'Why not?'"
"I read because one life isn't enough and in the pages of a book I can be anybody."-I Read, a poem by someone I'm too lazy to look up
"Believe in yourself and all that you are. Know that there is something inside you that is greater than any obstacle."- Christian D. Larson
"I've learned that goodbyes will always hurt, pictures can never replaced having been there, memories good or bad will bring tears, and words can never replace those feelings."
"The young always have the same problem - how to rebel and conform at the same time. They have now solved this by defying their parents and copying one another." -Quentin Crisp
"Never get involved with someone who wants to change you." -Quentin Crisp

"All that we see or seem is but a dream within a dream" --Edgar Allen Poe
"I only count the hours that shine." -Cassandra Clare
"Pushing will get you anywhere, except through a door that says pull." -Unknown
"My best friend is the person who gets me a book I don't already have." -Abraham Lincoln
“Love is when you shed a tear and still want him, it's when he ignores you and you still love him, it's when he loves another girl but you still smile and say I'm happy for you, when all you really do is cry.” --Unknown

Alright guys! Those quotes are pretty nice! Thanks alot for posting!
So from now until the 25th I want to hear your favorite Shakespeare quote(s)! Don't be shy!
Here are a two of mine
"O, I am slain!" -Paris
"No hare, sir; unless a hare, sir, in a lenten pie, that is something stale and hoar ere it be spent. [Sings] An old hare hoar, And an old hare hoar, Is very good meat in lent But a hare that is hoar Is too much for a score, When it hoars ere it be spent." -Mercutio.
"If we shadows have offended, Think but this, and all is mended, That you have but slumber'd here While these visions did appear. And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream, Gentles, do not reprehend: if you pardon, we will mend: And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearned luck Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue, We will make amends ere long; Else the Puck a liar call; So, good night unto you all. Give me your hands, if we be friends, And Robin shall restore amends." -Puck (A Midsummer Night's Dream)
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet." -Juliet (Romeo and Juliet)
"O hell! to choose love by another's eyes." -Hermia (A Midsummer Night's Dream)
"And Brutus is an honorable man." -Marc Antony (Julius Caesar)
"Captain of our fairy band, Helena is here at hand, And the youth, mistook by me, Pleading for a lover's fee. Shall we their fond pageant see? Lord, what fools these mortals be!" -Puck (A Midsummer Night's Dream)
I love the second one because he says it seriously at first in his speech then as he repeats the phrase it degrades to mocking sarcasm. Hooray for Marc!
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, And therefore is winged Cupid painted blind. Nor hath Love's mind of any judgment taste; Wings, and no eyes figure unheedy haste.-Helena(A Midsummer Night's Dream)
I have this problem. Its where most of what I write stays in my head. I just need to get motivated and get it out you say? Yeah well this wouldn't be so weird if everything else I thought didn't come out, but it does all of it. My thoughts just don't like solitary confinement except my writing ideas. They seem to like it up there. A lot. Thats just messed up. -_-

"I ask people if they can win. They always answer with a resounding, "yes". If I ask them if they can keep winning, it's normal for them to be at a loss for words."
Daigo Umehara (The Willpower To Keep Winning)

Friendship, Loyalty, A Good Laugh, and Standing Up For What I Believe In. It's a part of who I am.
“I can do anything I want! It’s ‘cause I’m a person. And also you can do whatever you want. You can- can turn left if you want. Why not?”
“Take nothing ever personally- I don’t! Don’t! It’s hard to do that sometimes, but you know. Nothing is ever personal, like no matter what anyone ever does to you EVER… It’s not ‘cause of you- it’s ‘cause of them- always. All you gotta know is that. You know freakin- just take that with you everywhere… Uh- and you can just be happy all the time and you can just be an adult you can just be stupid in public and who cares? Because you just- you like yourself and, you know, you’re having fun.”
“So if you’re having a tough week, just know… it’s gonna get better. And also… no matter how much stuff sucks, life just throws stuff at you that it knows you can handle, and then you’ll grow from it.”
“Keep your hopes up. Or down. Wherever you want them to be. Just have hope somewhere.”
