Favourite lines!
« on: November 21, 2015, 07:08:50 pm »
List your favourite lines, whether they be from plays or films or books! They must be memorable!
Here's mine.
''All men are fools and what makes them so is having beauty, like what I have got''
Morcambe and wise
the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.

Jeff Goldblum's character, Dr Ian Malcolm, in Jurassic Park sums up much that I feel about the progress of science


"your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could that they didn't stop to think if they should".
 says it all for me

On a much less profound note the line I personally quote most, comes from the wonderfully coarse "Bridesmaids"

" I want to apologise, I'm not even confident which end that came out of "

take your pick !

Just read this recently and it made me think:

Quote from: Greg McKeown
Figuring out the vital few amidst the trivial many is the literacy of the 21st Century.

I would just quote everything ever written by Terry Pratchett.
"Let's not talk about what we can do, but do what we can"

There is NO planet B - what are YOU doing to save our home?

Do something today that your future self will thank you for - plant a tree

 Love your soil - it's the lifeblood of your land.

Problem is I'm not really sure what 'ding' means  :innocent:

 facts are fellows that will not be overturned,
