Hva er ditt favoritt sitat?

[Gjest Stringfellow1]

 

I had a terrible day, we say it all the time. A big fight with the boss, the stomach flu, traffic. That's what we describe as terrible, when nothing terrible is really happening. These are the things we beg for - a root canal, an IRS audit, or coffee spilled on our clothes.

When the really terrible things happen, we start begging to a God we don't even believe in - to bring back the little horrors and take away this. It seems quaint now, doesn't it? The flood in the kitchen, the poison oak, the fight that leaves you shaking with rage. Would it have helped, if we could see what else was coming. Would we have known that those were the best moments of our lives. 

 — Meredith Grey.

Det var ei her inne som hadde et motto jeg likte godt. Det var veldig sant og en trøst som bør hjelpe når en sliter med noe:

Det går enten bra,eller det går over!

Nå husker jeg dessverre ikke nicket til den som skrev det,men syns Iallefall det var enkelt og bra: -)

"When logic and proportion have fallen sloppy dead
And the white knight is talking backwards
And the red queen's off with her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head, feed your head"

 Jefferson Airplane - White Rabbit  

[Perelandra]

"A pleasure is full grown only when it is remembered.[...] When you and I met, the meeting was over very shortly, it was nothing. Now it is growing something as we remember it. But still we know very little about it. What it will be when I remember it as I lie down to die, what it makes in me all my days till then–that is the real meeting. The other is only the beginning of it."

Fra Out of the Silent Planet av C.S. Lewis

"London can take it"

Jeg vet ikke om det er et Churchillsitat eller om der var et uttrykk som bare utviklet seg i under blitzkrigen i London. Uansett får det meg til å tenke at når så mange klarte å holde ut bomberegnet natt etter natt, så bør jeg kunne  takle hverdagens små og store fortredeligheter uten å klage.

Det varierer veldig, men akkurat nå er jeg veldig glad i dette:

“Superhuman effort isn't worth a damn unless it achieves results.”

 Journalism what will be grasped at once."

Ikke dumt, men hvorfor sitere en tysk filosof på engelsk når det tar fem sekunder å finne sitatet på norsk?

[Ruccula]

To sitater jeg bruker svært ofte er:

"man må regne med litt svinn" 

"alt er relativt"  

Legg merke til at disse to sitatene kan nesten brukes i alle situasjoner :D

“Why do people say "grow some balls"? Balls are weak and sensitive. If you wanna be tough, grow a vagina. Those things can take a pounding.”

“Goodbye," said the fox. "And now here is my secret, a very simple secret: It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.”

There must be ghosts all over the world. They must be as countless as the grains of the sands, it seems to me. And we are so miserably afraid of the light, all of us.

Kan du ikke selv tenke deg hvorfor jeg valgte å sitere Ibsen på engelsk?

Gjengangere er forresten et sabla bra stykke. Her er sitatet i original:

Der må leve gjengangere hele landet utover. Der må være så tykt av dem som sand, synes jeg. Og så er vi gudsjammerlig lysredde alle sammen.
