Ok, I'll start off with one...

'Security is mostly superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.’

— Helen Keller

" 'Good morning' said Bilbo, and he meant it. The sun was shining, and the grass was very green. But Gandalf looked at him from under long bushy eyebrows that stuck out further than the brim of his shady hat.

'What do you mean?' he said. 'Do you wish me a good morning, or mean that it is a good morning whether I want it or not; or that you feel good this morning; or that it is a morning to be good on?'

'All of them at once,' said Bilbo."

-The Hobbit, by J.R.R Tolkien

"There's only a certain amount of feminine analyzing that men can take before they shut down"

"That’s the whole point of this country: freedom of speech, personal rights, personal freedom. Nor would Wonder Woman be the person to tell people how to live their lives. Worry about your own life! Worry about your own family! Don't be telling me what I want to do with mine."

"To see a world in a grain of sand,

And heaven in a wildflower

To hold infinity in the palm of your hand

And eternity in an hour"

A quote I have on the front page of my journal:

"Odi et amo; quare id faciam,

fortasse requiris.

Nescio, sed fieri sentio et excracior"

Translated, it's roughly:

"I hate and I love; why do I do so you may well ask.

I do not know, but I feel it happen and am in agony-"

That's a really good quote. Another quote of his that's similar that I like is:

"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits"

Friendship... is not something you learn in school. But if you haven't learned the meaning of friendship, you really haven't learned anything.

"Wine improves with age. The older I get, the better I like it."

ah a quote page is no good without some Firefly quotes.

Captain Malcolm Reynolds: "I don't believe there's a power in the 'verse that can stop Kaylee from being cheerful. Sometimes you just wanna duct tape her mouth and dump her in the hold for a month."

Jayne: "Do you know what the chain of command is? It's the chain I go get and beat you with until you know who's in ruttin' command."
