Author Topic: Favorite quotes from anywhere! Gracia L. Babbidge Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 709 From: Bowdoin, Maine Registered: Aug 2000 posted 08-26-2003 02:15 PM                        I felt inspired after the thread of favorite movie quote. So what are some film-techers' favorite quotes?? A few of mine... "Mass hypnosis. In a very orthodox form known as 'education'." ~Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (Robert M. Pirsig) "We're all strangers again! Folks, I"ve just forgot the biggest gumption trap of all. The funeral procession! The one everybody's in, this hyped-up, fuck-you, supermodern, ego style of life that thinks it owns this country. We've been out of it for so long I'd forgotten all about it." ~Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance (Robert M. Pirsig) "Woke up this morning to the stinging lash, Every man rise from the ash, Each betrayal begins with trust, Every man returns to dust," ~Farmhouse (Phish) "There is only one thing that arouses animals more than pleasure, and that is pain." ~the Name of the Rose (Umberto Eco) "Because learning does not consist only of knowing what we must or we can do, but also of knowing we could and perhaps should not do." ~the Name of the Rose (Umberto Eco) 'Three fingers hold the pen, but the whole body works.' ~random ancient proverb "Had I not known that I was dead, I would have mourned my loss of life." ~a 13th century monk "Mothers are the necessity of invention!" ~'Calvin' of Bill Waterson's Calvin and Hobbes "Artists can color the sky red because they know it is blue. Those of us who aren't artists must color things the way they really are or people might think we're stupid." ~Jules Feiffer "Love is an evil trick that nature plays on people to get them to breed." ~??? "Tell him I've been too fucking busy - or vice versa." ~Dorothy Parker "When choosing between two evils, I always choose the one I haven't tried before." ~Mae West "The ability to speak does not make you intelligent." ~'Qui-Gon Jinn', the Phantom Menace "Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum" (I think I think therefore I think I am) ~"Velocia"  |  IP: Logged Sam Hunter Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 779 From: West Monroe, LA, USA Registered: Jan 2002 posted 08-26-2003 02:21 PM                     "I tell ya, I get no respect" Rodney Dangerfield  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 08-26-2003 03:06 PM                       "If it works, don't fix it." - unknown "If you can't stand the heat, get out of the kitchen." - unknown "Take care of the shop, and the shop will take care of you." - Benjamin Franklin "It's people!
