There are a few...

a song lyric:

"What I was
To what I am
To what one day
I might turn out to be"

Quotes:

"You're alive. Do something. The directive in life, the moral imperative was so uncomplicated. It could be expressed in single words, not complete sentences. It sounded like this: Look. Listen. Choose. Act." ~Barbara Hall, A Summons to New Orleans, 2000

"Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference." ~Robert Frost, The Road Not Taken

and finally..

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined." ~Henry David Thoreau (1817 - 1862)

:)

Know the male, Keep the female
be humble toward the world,
Be humble toward the world,
and eternal power never leaves,
returning again to innocence

Knowing the white, keep the black;
be an exlemplar for the world,
Be an exlepmlar for the world,
and eternal power never goes awry,
returning again to infinity

Knowing the glorious, keep the ignominious
be open to the world,
Be open to the world,
and eternal power suffices,
returning again to simplicity.

Simplicity is lost to make instruments,
which sages employ as functionaries.
Therefore the great fasioner does little splitting.
--Lao Tzu "The Tao Teh Ching"

"F**k Polite"--Sandford Meisner

Other infulential quotes include the 15th Psalm so dear to we Adpis and sonnet #116 by William Shakespeare and the aforementioned "Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost but as those are rather long I will not quote them here.

"A day late and a dollar short."

or

"Feast or Famine"

Either I just missed the deadline OR cant even afford to put gas in my truck one day and have $7K in the bank the next...

Or the sound that they play on the price is right when someone overbids..ya know the "wa wah wa wahhhh" sound.

Seriously....

“Either get busy living, or get busy dying”.
--The Shawshank Redemption

is this thread more quotes that folks like or quotes that describe people?

"You can run the red lights, but read the street signs... "

The most important thing is to express yourself

When Life hands you lemons, squeeze them into your sweet tea and thank God you are a Southern Belle.

When people say southern ladies don't drink, I'd tell them the truth: we sip...a lot.

If your life was ordinary and predictable, what would fuel your imagination?

this is pretty accurate, i think:

"all i want is a normal boyfriend! a nice normal boyfriend who doesn't go nuts on me!!!!"

-"we all want that, dear....it doesn't exist"

helen hunt and her mother in "as good as it gets"

yeah, that's it :D
