I remember seeing the first part in Viney's sig, and really liked it.

One I use on my girlfriend who is well into fashion.

Fashion is the only thing humans find so detestable they feel the need to change it every 6 months.

I'll throw in a few of my favourites;

"What started as a legitimate effort by the townspeople of Salem to identify, capture and kill those who did Satan's bidding quickly deteriorated into a witch hunt." - Army Man

''I do not want your admiration now, because I do not want your insults in the future. I bear with my loneliness now in order to avoid greater loneliness in the years ahead. You see, loneliness is the price we have to pay for being born in this modern age, so full of freedom, independence, and our own egotistical selves''. - Kokoro by Natsume Soseki

"By a free country, I mean a country where people are allowed, As long as they do not hurt their neighbours, To do as they like. I do not mean a country where six men may make five men do exactly as they like." - Lord Salisbury (1830 - 1903)

"They might have the strength to impose their will, but we will never give them our consent".

"You are in Zapatista rebel territory. Here the people give the orders and the government obeys."

"only 5 days till the weekend" - use this one every single monday

when something starts to go wrong = "it's not cricket, is it?"

"this is not the gheyest thread in the world, this is just a tribute" - milky bar kid

"i'm disappointed we didn't get a lunge photo while the bike was still under the car" - Yorkie Chris

"I washed my c*ck especially for this weekend" - Badger on the hardy bikers rideout 2

I saw a great film staring Robert DeNiro a while back, where he played an ex-cop stroke survivor. Part of the story was that he had to learn to speak again so was advised to see his neighbour for singing lessons from her, despite their mutual dislike for each other. Here is the trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C8ZAr9yeqwM).

During one of their arguments she yells at him the following.

"I was more man than you will ever be and more woman than you will ever get!"

That had me in stitches and it was nice to see a Transgendered heroine for a change as opposed to the usual murder victims, social misfits or hookers you usually see represented in the media. :cool:

"Rules are for the obedience of fools, and the guidance of wise men." (I've unquestionably quoted that approximately at best, but the message comes across I think).
Hard to find out with certainty who that should be attributed to.

"However beautiful the strategy, one should occasionally look at the results."
Winston Churchill

"Don't crash."

Most anything by Oscar Wilde, Groucho Marx or WC Fields :)

Particular favourite (as I don't like cut flowers much) by Wilde:

I like flowers, I also like children, but I don't feel the need to cut children's heads off and store them in vases in my rooms

Alcohol free beer, it's like licking your sisters kitten. Tastes the same, but it's just not right.

A plan never survives first contact with the enemy/reality.

We keep designing things to be idiot proof, and they keep designing better idiots.
