MOOP!

You know how a couple months ago I did quotes? Well, that was not even half my quotesfile. So have more!

***

It is instructive to note that those four young gentlemen from Liverpool were already rich and famous when they sang, "love is all you need."

I _love_ this quote. That's because I'm cynical and practical and utterly unromantic, but seriously, it's such a great quote. I found it on some LJ entry sometime --here, it seems.

***

I stole this one from Kyle Cassidy, years ago. If I cannot be logical, I would like people to say this of me.

He was completely impractical, but the house was decorated for conversation.

***

It's not so bad, being the lowest form of life...least it means you can't go any lower.

Out of a Constantine book. I like cynical. I like cynical a lot.

***

...okay, but I also like romantic:

I read once that the ancient Egyptians had fifty words for sand and the Eskimos had a hundred words for snow. I wish I had a thousand words for love, but all that comes to mind is the way you move against me while you sleep & there are no words for that

Maddie found it, and read it aloud, and I kinda went ".......e-mail that to me immediately."

I'm a huge sucker for sleeping(platonic) with people. Every once in a while, it's nice to have that night alone, but I prefer that to be the exception, not the rule. And yeah. Half-waking and nuzzling more against someone I adore, in whatever sense, is such a wonderful thing.

***

This was a particularly artful line from badmagic --he writes a lot of good lines, but this was particularly nice:

Waltzing is a fine way to finish up a weekend.

I happen to agree. To finish up anything, really.

***

Randy Milholland is not the sort of guy you'd expect to sum up some of my crucial opinions on the world, but here you go:

Why do we have to wait for special moments to say nice things or tell people we care about them?

See also,

Could you imagine how horrible things would be if we always told others how we felt? Life would be intolerably bearable.

***

This right here is what keeps me fighting some days. What _makes_ me fight sometimes, or at the least, gets me through the curling up and hurting so bad I can't function.

It's going to hurt like hell, but you're going to be fine.

It's credited to my mom's college roommate, who's a hell of a woman. I think she said it in my journal at some point, as a comment to something.

***

Man, I love this Marilyn Monroe quote, and when I'm secure, I can believe it. When I'm insecure, well...

I'm selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.

The broken parts of me are bad. Really bad. I am a _messed up_ individual, and it makes every relationship I will ever have hard. My brain doesn't work anything close to right, and I come with a lot of baggage.

But at my best, I am a hell of a person. And I give that as much as I can, but unless you take care of me, you're not going to get my sworn protection.

***

Is it egotistical to use quotes from myself? Probably. But this is super-true, and it is a thing people need to learn:

Focusing on other peoples problems make mine seem less important

See, every once in a while, I hang out with someone, and later post a depressed post, and then they get all worried that they have burdened me with their problems. No. You are bad. I like people, and I like fixing their problems, and I like getting to help. Please let me help, even if I'm sad.

***

The human race will begin solving it's problems on the day that it ceases taking itself so seriously

Why would I not have a Principa Discordia quote in here? It's such a great religious text! Possibly the greatest, certainly the only one I've ever bothered to put serious study into.

***

Dear _everyone ever_. Please take this lesson to heart:

When you look into those eyes and see the direct line to crazy dot com,, it doesn't matter HOW good the sex is.

Luv, Kat.

***

if I cannot dance, I want no part of your revolution.

More dance quote. Yes, I stole it from V for Vendetta, but at least I was decent enough to find the original. (Emma Goldman)

***

One of my older-sister types said this to me once. It's a lovely sentiment:

I don't trust innocent smiles, dear. I use them too often.

***

I'm a big fan of The Notebooks of Lazarus Long --we had a copy of that that I read through over and over, long before I'd actually read any Heinlein. I could arguably put half the entire text into my quotes file and feel pleased about it, but this may very well be my favorite.

Masturbation is cheap, clean, convenient, and free of any possibility of wrongdoing — and you don't have to go home in the cold. But it's lonely.

***

...And to enjoy the traveler's fine sense of crisis.

That's far and away the best thing to come out of my American Lit college course. That course was gawdawful. But I found that quote in one of the texts I had to read, and it's very true --you have to have a sense of adventure if you're going to travel. Otherwise you're doomed.



And that's plenty to leave off with for now. At least another part later, maybe even two! It will be exciting.
