Quote yourself!

[Extragorey]

Quote yourself! Post something that you yourself wrote that you think is insightful, ironic, entertaining, or just plain nonsense.
Or you could just make it up on the spot!
It doesn't matter if someone has said something similar before, so long as you think your own quote is distinct in some way.

Here's a few of mine to start with:

"Theory, in practice, only takes you so far."

"The best arguments are insightful but credible, complex but logical, and serious but entertaining - in that order."

"It's always a bad idea to make an absolute statement."

"Humour makes a monochromatic existence colourful."

Okay, now your turn!
You can, of course, comment on individual quotes, but try to contribute a few of your own too.

OD AH VIING!

There, my dragon mount will arrive soon. See you on the battle field.

A quote from a thread about what would ride into battle. Nothing particular interesting.

 

[General Grind]

I once had a computer
It told me that the future was now
But I said; It is the past
And he agreed

 

[David Bjur]

"We're all different, but we are all valuable." -David Bjur, trying to justify his looks

 

[Hoplon]

"Always quote your self" Me, obviously.

 

[Blobpie]

"You're just jealous of my, My little pony swagger" -In response to a friend

"Wait until the compactor's maw is opened, then bare witness to the entropy of the first world." -Me, throwing garbage into the garbage compactor at work

"What is good for you, may not be good for someone else, and vise-versa. In this world; what has made you, you. Will only bring despair and pain to someone else." -In debate with a religious friend (It was like talking to a wall....)

"We are all unique, but not all special; you have to work to become special. Life is a game of poker, you have to do with the hand life dealt you."-Talking to a friend

I'm sorry guys I don't quote myself, I'll leave that for you to do.

"Ignore Imthatguy; You'll only encourage him"

 

[Daystar Clarion]

Who quotes themselves?

That would never be a valid source in an academic paper...

X is Y because I said so.

 

[LongDanzi]

"Dude his head exploded, Grody!"

 

[Tanner The Monotone]

"If you have a problem, ask for help.....they'll send me." - me

"Whether someone is insane or not does not matter, we are all insane. What matters is how insane the person is." - me

"You can't fairly judge a person for who they are until you know why they are that way." - me

If someone famous already said those things, then whatever, you still get what I mean.

 

[TheRightToArmBears]

'Nothing I say is really meaningful or interesting enough to deserve quotation, however pretentious my prose is'
-Me

"I looked up and there was all this white stuff coming in my face."

- Me, innocently celebrating a snowy winter's day.

 

[DugMachine]

"Hey I bought you a spoon."

Why

"SO YOU CAN EAT MY ASS!"

*storm off*

 

[=y]

"Did that just happen?" - Friend

"Why yes. I did just get you with a snowball in August." - Me

I need to do that again. Preserving snowballs is fun! And they can't reciprocate.

"your plan to take over the world is good, but it isn't quite good enough, i'll make my own takeover plan, with blackjack and hookers"

 

[ShindoL Shill]

"If you give me one muffin, I will be happy.
If I am happy, I won't beat you."
-TrilbyWill, asking for a muffin politely (it didn't work, for some reason).

"I looked up and there was all this white stuff coming in my face."

- Me, innocently celebrating a snowy winter's day.

Because that can't be taken out of context at all.

Some great quotes come out of D&D
"It was Barbarian assisted suicide!"
"So we ride the flying tiger out of the bottomless pit"
"Shut up and handcuff the monkey"

 

[The Funslinger]

"Oh God damn it, just shut the fuck up, the pair of you! Nobody-and I mean nobody-in this room gives a shit what either of you two have to say about anything. Ever. You're so damn annoying your voices should be banned under the Geneva convention. If you weren't so fucking stupid, and I didn't know better, I'd think you'd been hired by the government to kill us all by talking until we all have a big group suicide!"

This was during an examination during which the teacher was required to read out the questions twice only so we could evaluate our skim reading skill. These two girls were talking very loudly and had everyone in the room telling them to be quiet, including the teacher (who was a supply teacher, hence the disobedience) people at the back of the room could hear their exact words quite clearly.

"That is understandable... BUT UNFORGIVABLE!!!" - Me feebly trying to make a dramatic response to my friend's terrible excuse.
