This is one I use all the time:
"We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing." - George Bernard Shaw
and another one of my favourites:
"I drink to make other people more interesting." - Hemingway

"Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."-Alfred in The Dark Knight
"I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something."Sam in Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers
"At the end of the day, when the tale has been told and your reckoning is at hand, you've still made all the choices. At the end, you've only got one person, and one person only, to answer to. Yourself." Pharaun in The Crystal Mountain by Thomas M. Reid
Got any fave quotes yall wanna share?
Some dude walks into a convienance store and the clerk says:
"Hello, hello. How are you? Nice weather we are having today."
The guy replies by saying:
"Nice weather? You think we're having nice weather? I guess you didn't lose the only one that meant anything in your life. I guess you don't feel burned out by the human misery and despair perpetrated by the criminal vermin that INFESTS every pore of this decaying city. Forcing you to guzzle cheap wine, and cheaper whiskey in order to dull the pain that shatters your heart, rips at your soul, and keeps your days forever gray!"
Sorry if that's kinda negative lol. I love that movie. There's a clip here.
"A lie can travel half way around the worl while the truth is putting on its shoes"
"'Classic' - a book which people praise and do not read"
"Clothes make the man. Naked people have little or no influence on society."
"Sanity and happiness are an impossible combination"
- All attributed to Mark Twain by Goodreads
Renton from Trainspotting.
"You're an idealist and I pity you as I would the village idiot." - Paths of Glory
"I'm not married, I don't have any kids and I'd blow your head off if someone paid me enough." - Grosse Pointe Blank
"So there I am, in Sri Lanka, formerly Ceylon, at about 3 o'clock in the morning, looking for one thousand brown M&Ms to fill a brandy glass, or Ozzy wouldn't go on stage that night. So, Jeff Beck pops his head 'round the door, and mentions there's a little sweets shop on the edge of town. So - we go. And - it's closed. So there's me, and Keith Moon, and David Crosby, breaking into that little sweets shop, eh. Well, instead of a guard dog, they've got this bloody great big Bengal tiger. I managed to take out the tiger with a can of mace, but the shopowner and his son... that's a different story altogether. I had to beat them to death with their own shoes. Nasty business, really. But, sure enough, I got the M&Ms, and Ozzy went on stage and did a great show." - Wayne's World 2
"I was watching a television program before, with a kind of roving moderator who spoke to a seated panel of young women who were having some sort of problem with their boyfriends - apparently, because the boyfriends had all slept with the girlfriends' mothers. And they brought the boyfriends out, and they fought, right there on television. Toby, tell me: these people don't vote, do they?" - The West Wing
