QUOTES



Yep, I knew it was coming. One of these days, I'd put up a quotes page. A collection of good quotes by interesting people (at least, in my opinion). The one problem with these is that they are like public restrooms: shiny at first, but then the upkeep falls lax, and then they get kinda grungy and unkempt. Sort of like links pages. ^_^ But I'll do my best. So: here goes.


January 5, 2002: Added the 'Those We Look Up To' and 'Sanna And Those Around Her' pages, and added a few new ones to 'That Was Funny'.

Sanna And Those Around Her




SANNA Solo


      Yay for the Dutch. They gave us the word sabotage.
-- July 17, 2002, Sanna


      He doesn't act like a trumpet player. He's, like, civilized.
-- July 17, 2002, Sanna about Quartic


      Baka boy... foo!
-- July 17, 2002, Sanna about Dominiq


That's how you know you're special in the world; not if the world plans to do good things for you, but if it plans to do bad things to you.
-- Friday, January 18, 2002


You're either dedicated, or crazy. Or both. Or crazy.
-- February 2002


The good thing about not knowing the future is that we are free to enjoy the present.

As iron sharpens iron, so one person gets another hooked on an online comic.

"Nothing looks like a lie. Everything looks like the truth. The truth, of course, looks like itself. And lies look like the truth, because if they looked like lies, no one would accept them. And the fundamental usage of a lie is to be accepted in place of the truth."
-- December 2001




ALEXCHAN


Deism is for people who can't ignore the order, but won't give themselves to an interventionist God.
-- Dec 2001

KAS, Artist of Silicon Cherry


      [regarding Ian of MacHall.com:] "He's brilliant. Though I doubt he gets out much."
-- Oct 17, 2002


Don't make me fly there to kick you.
-- 11/30/02




JENNCHAN PENCE, Siren of Silicon Cherry


"Sometimes Prince Charming's kiss breaks the spell; sometime it breaks the magic."
-- Dec 2001




CARYBELLA, Megamisama Extraordinare


      See, that's what I love about fangirls. They lament over not having the money to buy another 80 gig hard drive, instead of not having the money to buy that CUTEST SWEATER IN THE WHOLE WORLD that they saw at abercrombie and fitch.
-- Carybella, 9/20/2002


      Great minds think alike. And us too apparently.
-- Carybella, 9/24/2002




FAMILY


      "German chocolate... it's like steak, except candy."
-- Sanna's brother, 10/11/2001


      "Some people just want to tick other people off. They don't care for the world around them, nor the God above them."
      "They don't care that the God above them can SMITE them down without so much as a wiggle of His proverbial pinky!"
-- Sanna and her brother on The Really Rude And Bad People Of The World, 10/11/2001
(The humor of this line might only come through if you know my brother. He really does use words like 'SMITE' in everyday speech. It cracks me up.)




AVALON BOARD


      The great thing about friends is that you always have someone who can make you laugh.
...For even more fun, don't tell them why you're laughing.
-- Josh Phillips, AvalonHigh.com forum


      Being self-employed is great in lots of ways, but you gotta keep hustling if you want to make a living, keep clothes on the table and food on your back, all that sort of thing.
-- Animal, Avalon forum, Aug 7, 2002


      You started talking about the connection between command of the English language and .. er .. access to your bed ...
-- GrassyNoel, AvalonHigh.com forum, July 20, 2002


      On second thought... I'll shut up and run.
-- Kosei Hayasaka, AvalonHigh.com forum, July 11, 2002


      If it's not broken, don't fix it. It may want to reproduce someday...

STORYKEEPERS


J216's Two Good Pieces of Advice about Love:
1: Don't slobber all over your girlfriend, no matter how mouth-watering she is.
2: Loving someone is an action. It's something you do. Being in love's an emotion. It's something you feel. Beware the difference.




SINGLES


      Jean: I mean, how many giddy girls does Carl have call and leave messages on his machine?

      Jean: I do, if it's zero.

      People keep telling me details about his life, like i really even care. I don't have his number, he doesn't have mine, it's highly unlikely i'm ever going to see him again.
-- Jenny, 9/30/02


      While talking with Brandon and Yvonne at lunch the other day, I learned that abercrombie and fitch will only hire good looking people. It gave rise to this comment:
"I can see it now. Literary references will soon be made in many books to 'she looked good enough to work at Abercrombie'. And in 200 years, no one will know what Abercrombie was; it will be reduced to a footnote in 2000 page 21st century college literary textbooks."
