Quotes

With Music Mondays being a thing for us now, I can no longer use my new favorite song as an 'easy post scapegoat'. And so I had to find some other magic in the world to talk about... quotations.

My list of favorite quotes could go on and on. Weather from movies or songs, famous people or my friends, quotes are something that just seem to get better as you find them!

The funny thing about quotes though, is that one could mean the world to one person while being irrelevant to another. I suppose that is why there is such a verified base of quote giving material.

There are quotes from Fortune Cookies,
Luck never gives, only takes.
Quotes from inspirational people, such as J.K. Rowling in her address to the Oxford graduates,
And so rock bottom became the solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.
Iconic quotes,
As you wish.
Family quotes, from other family members,
I'm going the best way I know how, so don't complain!
or, do you remember this one siblings,
Off... now...
And that endless well of great quotations, songs. My muse right now being Lasso by Pheonix,
Forever is a long, long time when you've lost your way.
I found of late that my favorite quotation generating machine is of course, The Lord Of The Rings,
He looked up and the mist before his eyes cleared a little. There was Pippin!


Still she did not blench: maiden of the Rohirrim, child of kings, slender but as a steel-blade, fair yet terrible. A swift stroke she dealt, skilled and deadly.


We come now to the very brink, where hope and despair are akin. To waver is to fall.
.
And they could go on and on!!! A vast cornucopia of powerful words strung together in the best of form. Almost to good to be true (P.S. Can you tell what part of Return of The King I'm at?).

What's my point? Well, just that there are a lot of beautiful things in the word, and I like taking bits and pieces from all of them!
...and that sometimes this blog becomes a very convenient forum to display nerdnesses... THANKS FOR PUTTING UP WITH THAT! It is much appreciated ;)
