... Stop snickering! I know, I know, It's my fault i didnt' look at the forum name!

Anyway, any NON movie quotes go here :D

The truly creative mind in any field is no more than this: A human creature born abnormally, inhumanely sensitive. To them... a touch is a blow, a sound is a noise, a misfortune is a tragedy, a joy is an ecstasy, a friend is a lover, a lover is a god, and failure is death.
Add to this cruelly delicate organism the overpowering necessity to create, create, create -- so that without the creating of music or poetry or books or buildings or something of meaning, their very breath is cut off...
They must create, must pour out creation. By some strange, unknown, inward urgency they are not really alive unless they are creating.

Pearl Buck (1892 - 1973)

the less people know about how laws and sauages are made, the better they'll sleep at night.- Otto von bismark

I like pigs. Dogs look up to us. Cats look down on us. Pigs treat us as equals.

Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room.

A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.

Ending a sentence with a preposition is something up with which I will not put.

I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly.

If Hitler invaded hell I would make at least a favorable reference to the devil in the House of Commons.

If the Almighty were to rebuild the world and asked me for advice, I would have English Channels round every country. And the atmosphere would be such that anything which attempted to fly would be set on fire.

If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time-a tremendous whack.

If you are going through hell, keep going.

^Winston Churchill

:D Churchill has a lot of good quotes.

I agree with everything you say, but I would attack to the death your right to say it.

It is better to be quotable than to be honest.

The truth is always a compound of two half- truths, and you never reach it, because there is always something more to say.
Tom Stoppard

Skill without imagination is craftsmanship and gives us many useful objects such as wickerwork picnic baskets. Imagination without skill gives us modern art.
Tom Stoppard, "Artist Descending a Staircase"

It's not the voting that's democracy, it's the counting.
Tom Stoppard, Jumpers (1972) act 1

We cross our bridges when we come to them and burn them behind us, with nothing to show for our progress except a memory of the smell of smoke, and a presumption that once our eyes watered.
Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead

Eternity's a terrible thought. I mean, where's it all going to end?
Tom Stoppard, Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead (1967)

Quotes from Terry Pratchett's discworld saying of and about the wee folk

First up The Nac Mac Feegle:
"Crivens! I kicked meself in ma ain heid!"

"neever te sign a feegle contract; six inch high people write verra small print"

"We've got a cheap lawyer an' we're not afraid to use him!"

The Ramtops have many legends about the Nac Mac Feegle. One says that if you leave sixpence and an unshod horse at a certain Feegle cairn overnight, then in the morning the coin will be gone, and you'll never see your horse again, either. Another says that if you leave a saucer of milk out for the pictsies they'll break into your house and take everything in the drinks cabinet.

Ye'll tak' the high road an' I'll tak' yer wallet!

Nae king! Nae quin! Nae laird! Nae master! We willnae be fooled again!

Yan, tan, TETRA!

Ta' can onlie be one t'ousan!

They can tak' oour lives but they cannae tak' oour troousers!

Next gnomes:
"He's six inches high and lives in a mushroom, of course he's a bloody gnome."

being headbutted by Buggy (a gnome) is like 'being hit with a steam-powered toffee hammer.'

Now some quotes from my main man, the collector of souls, the harvester of mankind, the grim reaper, DEATH: (remember death always speaks in caps)

"I said I hope it is a good party," said Galder, loudly. AT THE MOMENT IT IS, said Death levelly. I THINK IT MIGHT GO DOWNHILL VERY QUICKLY AT MIDNIGHT. "Why?" THAT'S WHEN THEY THINK I'LL BE TAKING MY BE TAKING MY MASK OFF.

I AM DEATH, NOT TAXES. I COME ONLY ONCE.

Who KNOWS WHAT EVIL LURKS IN THE HEARTS OF MEN?
Death of Rats: SQUEAK.
WELL, OBVIOUSLY I DO.

Liir: She WANT TO BLIND THE GUESTS COME TO DINNER.
Nanny: Well, I suppose that;s one way to avoid dusting.
- Wicked.
Likely paraphrased, I read it just last night and I already forgot he exacts XD

time for crazy quotes i found on the internet but really liked.

On a tombstone:

Remember man, as you walk by,
As you are now, so once was I.
As I am now, so shall you be.
Remember this and follow me.

To which someone replied by writing on the tombstone:

To follow you I'll not consent
Until I know which way you went.

Bad spelling can be lethal. For example, the greedy Seriph of Al-Ybi was once cursed by a badly-educated deity and for some days everything he touched turned to Glod, which happened to be the name of a small dwarf from a mountain community hundreds of miles away who found himself magically dragged to the kingdom and relentlessly duplicated.
~Terry Pratchett, WITCHES ABROAD

these are not exactly quotes but I can think of no better place to put these. (And they say wikipedia is a bad resource) time for More Discworld based shenanigans
-------------------------
Ook is the only word of the Orangutan language, specifically that spoken by the Librarian of the Unseen University.

The word ook can mean (via intonation) any word, meaningful or not. So, for example, Ook-ook can be a long speech, an emphatic denial, or a shout of joy. On rare occasions the Librarian has been known to expand his vocabulary to include oook, gook, and, in times of stress, the high pitched eek and eeek.

According to the Librarian, who is patiently compiling an orangutan-human dictionary, definitions include:

Ook. Excuse me, but that's my rubber ring you're hanging in.
Ook. Oh, I do beg your pardon, I didn't realise there was a dominant male in this group.
Ook. I'll Just go and sit over here very quietly, shall I?
Ook. You're out of your tree. This is my tree.
Ook. Yes.
Ook. No.
Ook. Banana.
Ook. It may be a vital oxygenating biomass to you, but it's home to me.
Ook. Did you see a rainforest around here a moment ago?
Ook. It's like meatloaf, except with squirrels!

The work already runs to more than 500 closely-written pages, and is an invaluable reference tool. It is probable that half the words in it are ook.
----------------------------------------------------------
Example of discworld dwarf language
B'zugda-hiara- "lawn ornament"; a deadly insult, unless used by a very close friend
----------------------------------------
and now the discworld language Latatian

The classic example is the motto of the Ankh-Morpork City Watch; "Fabricati Diem, Pvnc". This is complete nonsense in Latin, but looks like it means "Make my Day, Punk" (see Dirty Harry), although Sergeant Colon insists it means "To Protect and Serve".

Albert's response to mysterious writing, "Sodomy non sapiens" ("I'm buggered if I know")

Stercus stercus stercus Moriturus Sum ("Oh shit, oh shit, oh shit, I'm going to die") said by Rincewind

Morporkian legal principle "Acquiris Quodcumque Rapis" ("You Get What You Grab").
-------------------------------------------
A good illustration of Rincewind's pre-emptive karma takes place while he was stranded on an island. He had managed to eke out a comfortable and boring existence, and some Amazon warrior-females found him. Apparently, they needed a man for breeding purposes, as all their menfolk had died from a highly selective plague. Rincewind never seems to grasp what is expected of him, but forms the impression that he was getting "potatoes for life." Just then, the wizards of Unseen University transported him to Ankh-Morpork, so they could send him to the Agatean Empire. There he was chased, knocked out, and nearly killed several times. Rincewind has theorized that in order to balance out the universe, there must be, somewhere, someone to whom nothing but good happens. Someone who saunters from one comfortable place to the next. Rincewind still hopes to meet him some day, hopefully while carrying a weapon.
-------------------------
Finally, Rincewind considered himself a racist ("the hundred meters, the mile, the marathon, he’s run them all") before finding out the real meaning of the word, and has also spawned a religion among trees.
------------------------------------------
Any wizard bright enough to survive for five minutes was also bright enough to realise that if there was any power in demonology, then it lay with the demons. Using it for your own purposes would be like trying to beat mice to death with a rattlesnake.

-- Why summoning demons is a Bad Idea (Terry Pratchett, Eric)
--------------------------
There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!

-- (Terry Pratchett, The Truth)
----------
Too many people, when listing all the perils to be found in the search for lost treasure or ancient wisdom, had forgotten to put at the top of the list 'the man who arrived just before you'.
--------------------
People have believed for hundreds of years that newts in a well mean that the water's fresh and drinkable, and in all that time never asked themselves whether the newts got out to go to the lavatory.

-- (Terry Pratchett, Reaper Man)
------------------------------------------------------
Rincewind could scream for mercy in nineteen languages, and just scream in another forty-four.

-- (Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times)
--------------------------------------------------
"I know about people who talk about suffering for the common good. It's never bloody them! When you hear a man shouting "Forward, brave comrades!" you'll see he's the one behind the bloody big rock and the one wearing the only really arrow-proof helmet!"

-- Rincewind gives a speech on politics. (Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times)
------------------------------
Many an ancient lord's last words had been, "You can't kill me because I've got magic aaargh."

-- Magic armour is not all it's cracked up to be. (Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times)
-----------------------------
PEOPLE'S WHOLE LIVES DO PASS IN FRONT OF THEIR EYES BEFORE THEY DIE. THE PROCESS IS CALLED 'LIVING'.

Death -- (Terry Pratchett, The Last Continent)
------------------------
As castles went, this one looked as though it could be taken by a small squad of not very efficient soldiers. For defence, putting a blanket over your head might be marginally safer.

-- (Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant)

-- (Terry Pratchett, The Last Hero)
