Year in Quotations

When I was in eighth grade, I started a quote book. I just wrote down the funny things people said. It then expanded into me recording famous people's inspirational quotes. This past year, I've been recording things people say on my phone to compile here, right now. So, here it is, my year in quotes:

Star Wars is the best example of how evil doesn't die; it comes back and makes terrible prequels. AT

I can't find a picture of it, so I'm making my own. TC

I've got my heels in my backpack next to the chianti. MG

I'm trying to think of a Bob Dylan song I can sing in the style of Mandy Patinkin. AT

S: So, is it a flat year or a platform year? A: We're talking about shoes, right?

Neil Gaiman, what are you doing in my falafel?!?

If I see that you don't have a Falsettos related Facebook photo, I will end you! Well, not really because we need you, but I will give you a stern talking to! MK

Nothing...just thinking about butts. LW

I didn't know what to do with it, so I'm wearing it. SD

And that's my year of things I had the presence of mind to record. It's not a perfect system; there are things on the quote wall of my dorm that I wish I had here and things that aren't written down at all that were absolutely amazing. These are just a few moments, but they remind me of some good times with great friends.

And now the non-friend quotations:

Crying Roman with a baby: definitely cool (Doctor Who, Amy to Rory at Demon's Run)

It may help to understand human affairs to be clear that most of the great triumphs and tragedies of history are caused, not by people being fundamentally good or fundamentally bad, but by people being fundamentally people. (Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman p.30)

In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse (The Love Song of J Alfred Prufrock, TS Eliot)

The world is a globe--the farther you sail, the closer to home you are. (Nation by Terry Pratchett p.284)

If you don't dare to think you might, you won't. (Nation by Terry Pratchett p. 312)

I give it to you not that you may remember time, but that you may forget it now and then for a moment and not spend all your breath trying to conquer it. (The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner)

Every man is the arbiter of his own virtues. (The Sound and the Fury by William Faulkner)

Here's to a new year, and may I remember to write down more memorable moments.

Today is awesome because I had a successful doctor's appointment.
