I love quotes you can say so much with just one simple phrase...I love it! I am working on some quote books (they make great gifts ) and it would be great if you would share some of your favorite quotes with me!
Some of my favorites include:
"To the world you may be one person, to one person you may be the world"
"Only say "I love you" when you really mean it"
"Life is just one damn thing after another"
"worrying shows that you care"
"No one is really ever normal"
"When someone lets you down, don't give up on him."
"everything happens for a good reason,but sometimes we never figure out the reason"
"you always find time to do the things you really want to do"
Thanks

No one can make you feel inferior without your consent
That's my alltime favourite quote, hehehe and I KNOW I sometimes annoy people with my quotes and clichés ;P
My other favourite quote (and I have that one tattooed on my arm) is
IT'S MY LIFE
*HUGS ALL AROUND*

Especially these two:
"You can't choose what you love; it chooses you."
That one is soooo true about Man and I, for sure.
And: "Nothing gold can stay" Did you see the great film "The Outcasts" that used this quote?
Robert Frost is one of my favorite poets, for sure. The rest of that poem is as good as the title/first line.

Nature's first green is gold,
The hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower
But only for an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf
So Eden sank to grief.
So dawn goes down to day
Nothing gold can stay.
The Outsiders is a classic film..."Stay gold, Ponyboy."
It hurts to know that gold fades and, for so many, gray takes its place.

Rough translation....While I breathe, I hope. Not sure which of the Roman poets said it, I think it was either Virgil or Plenny the Younger. Can you tell it's been a while since I studied Latin?
I've also kinda been fond of this one, but for different reasons, and under different emotions.
You know, you're the reason for birth control! Source unknown.
