Everyone has a favorite quote, especially those who are writers. What is yours?  |
|
 I love the show One Tree Hill. One reason for that is because it starts each episode off with a quote from literature. That prompted me to try and create a post full of literary quotes. What are your favorite literary quotes?

1.  mrghill (1046) | 4 weeks ago |  My favorite is from the time of World World 2 when Winston Churchhill once said, "why did they wait to start bombing us when I need to use the Water Closet?"

| 2. BloodShyne (208) | 4 weeks ago |  LOL my favorite quote is "I don't do cocaine...I just like the way it smells",I have seen this used as an excuse before by my dumb friend..,I couldn't help but bust out laughing...I was also promptly kicked out after that but I still couldn't stop laughing:)
| |
| |
|
|
| kbjunior15 (279) | 4 weeks ago | That is hilarious. Someone saying that is definately in denial:) I would have laughed out loud, too. | |

3.  Bertman410 (166) | 4 weeks ago |  Am actually taking classes now to become a childrens writer. I also like quotes and I like coming up with my own. One that I came up with is "Life don't come with an eraser so don't F things up." Robert Wilkins.
The F is actually a F not refering to the F word.
I see it like this you use erasers in school and get grades from A's to F's and just like in life you can have an A life or a F life and once you have one you can't erase it. They can change from A to F or F to A but once you have one you cant change it only try to improve it.

|
| kbjunior15 (279) | 4 weeks ago | Cool quote and analogy to go with it. Not sure that you could use that in a children's book or classroom, though, becuase everyone will think it is the "F" word. I like it, though. | |
|
|
| Bertman410 (166) | 4 weeks ago | lol I agree. I plan to write for more than just children though. I'm just planning to start with children and teenagers and then later on work on something more for the adults. | |
|
|
| kbjunior15 (279) | 4 weeks ago | Teenagers might appreciate that quote, LOL. Good luck in your writing career. | |

| 4. anaknitatay (584) | 4 weeks ago |  I have a couple:
I think this is from shakespeare:
"Golden girls and boys all must, as chimney sweeps come to dust"
This is one I came up with (lol):
"If others can do it, let them do it."
And this when I try to motivate myself:
"Life doesn't come with a snooze button"
| |
| |
|
|
| kbjunior15 (279) | 4 weeks ago | Not sure if that was Shakespeare or not, but I like it. It is so true. I like your own quote, as well. That is a motto to live by:) The last one is for my wife, she hits her snooze 6-7 times each morning. Drives me nuts:) THanks | |
|
|
| anaknitatay (584) | 4 weeks ago | you're welcome. Happy mylotting!:) | |

| 5. lrglara (248) | 4 weeks ago |  my favorite quote is from the Bible, its in Colossian 3:23-24 "Whatever you do, work it with all of your heart as if working for the Lord not for man, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." - i think about this a lot especially if I get frustrated at work.
for a funny quote, i always thought of what my sister shared with me. Her classmate told her this "Practice makes perfect. but nobody's perfect. so why practice?". i told my mom this and she just laughed.
| |

|
|
| kbjunior15 (279) | 4 weeks ago | Love that scripture from the Bible. I write down favorite passages at the end of my Bible and will have to add that one to it. It is so true for everyday living. Thanks for the inspiration.
I love your sister's quote, too. Very humorous. I am a teacher and I can really appreciate a student saying that.
Thanks | |
|
|
| lrglara (248) | 4 weeks ago | Thank you. i really think we have to give our best in everything we do, like i said, as if working for the Lord. in my sister's case, she already graduated college. her classmate/ co-intern told her that quote. it is really funny! | |

 mathewsir (412) | 4 weeks ago |  Yes, the Bible is man's instruction manual. To succeed in life now and eternally there is no substitute to the Bible. The sooner people realize this, the better.

|
|
| kbjunior15 (279) | 4 weeks ago | Well said, Matthewsir. What better instruction manual to have than the Bible:) | |

8.  maximax8 (4016) | 4 weeks ago |  'All animals are equal but some animals are more equal than others'. George Orwell wrote that in his book Animal Farm. It is the quote that I like most of all. It is exactly true and can be seen on different levels in life and situations.

|
| kbjunior15 (279) | 4 weeks ago | Love that book. I have taught it many times and use that quote as a writing prompt. It really gets the students to think about our society and the values that we have. We are all created equal, but some are definately more equal than others. Isn't that a shame:( | |
|
|
| maximax8 (4016) | 4 weeks ago | Yes, I love that book as well. I am a primary school teacher so children that I teach discover picture books. I think being a secondary school English teacher would be a great job and perhaps teaching post 16 or university students would be just as interesting. | |
|
|
| kbjunior15 (279) | 4 weeks ago | Yes teaching high school literature is amazingly fun. I used to teach seniors and that was the most fun that I have ever had teaching because they get so involved in the discussions. I teach 7th grade Language Arts now and it is like pulling teeth for discussion sometimes:) | |

|
| kbjunior15 (279) | 4 weeks ago | You said that more were coming and you did not disappoint. Awesome quote. How true is that? I am going to post that in my classroom for my students. I love that!!! Thanks for the great quote. | |
|
|
| mathewsir (412) | 4 weeks ago | Yes, these days students do need sound advice. Even if we can save at least one soul we would have done our humble bit here on earth. Thanks and hoping for your kind co-operation for such good causes in the days, months and years ahead. | |
