Some quotes from some people:

but all great lines nonetheless

Don't take life too seriously, it's only a temporary situation.
The universe rearranges itself to accommodate your picture of reality.
A day without sunshine is like night.
On the other hand, you have different fingers.
I feel like I am diagonally parked in a parallel universe.
You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say will be misquoted and used against you.
I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be without sponges.
Remember, half the people you know are below average.
Despite the cost of living, have you noticed how popular it remains?
Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
Quantum Mechanics: The dreams stuff is made of
Support bacteria - they're the only culture some people have
The only substitute for good manners is fast reflexes.
When everything's coming your way, you're going the wrong way down a one-way street.
If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.
A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.
To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.
Beware of the power of stupid people in large groups.
D.A.R.E. to think for yourself - Drugs Are Really Expensive
God created whiskey to keep the Irish from ruling the world.

Actually, Mojo created a sense of safety in me. If the Devil came I had Mojo...but that was the most absurd idea. I'd fiend off Hell on account of a flesh-and-blood dog. Well, humans have believed stranger things I suppose. -Anne Rice
Very few of us anymore get through life without a dramatic bid for freedom. That dramatic bid is the hallmark of our times. But most of us never really reach our goal.

...in the Savage Garden you shine beautifully my friend. You walk as if it is your garden to do with as you please. And in my wanderings, I always return to you. - Anne Rice Labor is the antidote for angst and general misery, and the fear that the Devil is going to grab you by the throat at any moment and bring you down in to the fiery pit. - Anne Rice My mother's obsession with the "good scissors" always scared me a bit. It implied that somewhere in the house there lurked the 'evil scissors". - Tony Martin

The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn is unconditional love, which includes not only others but ourselves as well. - Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
You love somebody and then you don't love them anymore? But if you really love somebody, you always love them don't you? Isn't there always some small part of you that reads their horoscope in the paper everyday? - Cynthis Heimel
Yet, you, like millions of other arrogant chauvinists, had taken it for granted that the human species was the product of the evolutionary process, it's culminating and crowning glory...We, with our propensity for murder, torture, slavery, rape, cannibalism, pillage, advertising jingles, shag carpets and golf, how could we be seriously considered as the perfection of a four-billion year old grandiose experiment? Perhaps as a race, we have evolved as far as we are capable, yet that by no means suggests that evolution has called it quits. In all likelihood, it has something beyond human on the drawing board. We tend to refer to our barbaric and crapulous behaviour as 'in human", whereas, in point of fact, it is exactly human, definitively and quintessentially human, since no other creature habitually indulges in comparable atrocities. This negates neither our occasional virtues nor our aesthetic triumphs, but if being at least a little bit more than human is not waiting around the bend of time, then evolution has suffered a premature ejaculation. - Tom Robbins
Better late then never to learn you were desired in your youth.- Grace Palley
If it makes my whole body so cold no fire can warm me, I know that it
is poetry-Emily Dickenson Ordinary lives are extraordinary, if you really see them - Agnus
de Mille So what do you do when that spinning starts and the motion carries the
time wild by you and you cannot stop to see one thing to grab and stop
yourself? you stand still the best you can and say strong and loud for
the circle of spinning to stop so you can walk away from the noise- Kaye Gibbons How can I ever know whether or not I'm really happy here unless I go
somewhere else? - Cynthia Rich There is one like him in every woman's life, a man who doesn't quite
fit, like a shoe that gives you blisters no matter how hard you try to
stretch it. If she's lucky!-Evelyn Wilde Mayerson A place belongs to whoever claims it hardest, remembers it most obsessively,
wrenches it from itself, shapes it, renders it, loves it so radically that
he really makes it in his own image.-John Didion Whether or not we find what we are seeking is idle, biologically speaking.-Edna
St. Vincent Millay The heart is so easily mocked, believing that the sun can rise twice
or that roses bloom because we want them to.-Jeanette Winterson Oneness is bliss. Separation is dangerous. And yet we pull and pull
and pull away. For the need to become a separate self is as urgent as the
yearning to merge forever. - Judith Viorst A person might be part of you. Almost part of your body, and yet once
you went away from them, they might utterly cease to be. - Elizabeth Bowen
You're caught up in the Internet, you think it's such a great asset.
You're wrong, wrong, wrong. All that fiber optic gear still can not take
