Quotations
Since the age of 13 I've kept a small quote notebook. I write quotes from books or movies that I liked. The notebook is finally filled; 52 pages of quotey goodness! I thought I would share some of my favorites. Most are funny, because I love a good one-liner.
Warning: Since this was a private notebook so the proper rules of quotations and citations were ignored. There are misquotes galore!
You'll feel faintly embarressed about you decision to release the beast within when you see how fuzzy and cute it is. - Tim Moore, Frost On My Mustache
Every hospital in Heaven will be filled with broken stars for at least six months, and you don't know what misery is until you try to bandage a broken star! - Barry Hughart, Bridge of Birds : A Novel of an Ancient China That Never Was
The naturally religious were unstable and given to wandering in the desert and having revelations - Terry Prachett, Pyramids
Stealing is not excusable, for instance, you are in a museum and you decide that a certain painting would look better in your house, and simply grab the painting and take it there. But if you were very hungry, and you had no way of obtaining money, it might be excusable to grab the painting, take it to your house and eat it. - Lemony Snicket, The Wide Window
The moral of The Three Bears is "never break into someone else's house." The moral of Snow White is "never eat apples." The moral of World War I is "never assassinate Archduke Ferdinand." - Lemony Snicket, The Wide Window
Don't you know that a man being rich is like a girl being pretty? You wouldn't marry a girl just beacause she's pretty, but my goodness doesn't it help? - Gentlemen Prefer Blondes
Do you pop out at parties? Are you unpoopular? - I Love Lucy
You might be poor, your shoes might be broken, but your mind is a palace - Frank McCourt, Angela's Ashes
That thing down there sometimes rises up. Well, that's because it's an instrument of Satan and we all know how often the Bible tells us Satan's intruments of Evil will rise up and smite the good? - a fanfic I read about a teenaged Bertie Wooster
Only sticks and stones can break my bones and I have my Swiss Army kife if they hit me - Mark Haddon, The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time
A work of art based on the butts of three shaved cats - James Lileks, Based on this painting
More of my favorite quotes here
And that's the end of my quote book. I'm working on a new one.

Quotey quotey quote quotes
Since the age of 13 I've kept a small quote notebook. I write quotes from books or movies that I liked. The notebook is finally filled; 52 pages of quotey goodness! I thought I would share some of my favorites. Most are funny, because I love a good one-liner.
Warning: Since this was a private notebook so the proper rules of quotations and citations were ignored. There are misquotes galore!
These are some quotes I took down between the ages of 13 - 15 years old
I believe I've put forth a tiny soul-root in to this soil this afternoon. I hope so, I hate to feel transplanted - L. M. Montgomery, Anne of the Island
With a name like Atossa you would be sour. She should imagine her name was Cordelia - L. M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea
I consider him a reverend jackass - L. M. Montgomery, Anne's House of Dreams
One of them did tried to flirt with her once and she froze him out so bad, I feel sure he's never got himself thawed since - L. M. Montgomery, Anne's House of Dreams
If you want to speak to God, speak to the winds - African proverb quoted in my freshman Geography textbook
Poetry
What is poetry? Who knows?
Not the rose, but the scent of the rose;
Not the sky, but the light in the sky;
Not the fly, but the gleam of the fly;
Not the sea, but the sound of the sea;
Not myself, but what makes me See, hear, and feel something that prose
Cannot: and what it is, who knows?
- Eleanor Farjeon quoted in my freshman year English textbook
The mark of the immature man is that he wants to die nobly for a cause, while the mark of the mature man is that he wants to live humbly for one -Wilhelm Stekel, quoted by JD Salinger in Catcher in the Rye
The Lord might be busy helping somebody else, and it wouldn't look right for Him Just to drop that person and come help me - Ernest J. Gaines, The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman
He told not very black lies, seldom getting deeper than gray, and often the mildest of white fibs - Louisa May Alcott, Little Men
Do not seek to much fame, but do not seek obscurity
Be proud, but do not remind the world of you deeds
Excel when you must, but do not excel the world
Many heroes are not yet born, many have already died
To be alive to hear this song is a victory
- African proverb quoted in my Sophmore English textbook
I have such faith in his love that I believe I might kill him, and he wouldn't wish to retaliate - Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights
Of course I rember the Civil War everything except the side I fought on - Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine
