The quote in my profile is right up there (it's from "Joe vs. the Volcano - such a good quote from such a horrible movie)

Also up there:

"Go confidently in the direction of your dreams - live the life you've imagined." Thoreau

I'll update when I think of some other quotes...

I love Sex & the City, not only for the clothes but for the great quotes:

"As we drive along this road called life, occassionally a gal will find herself a little lost. And when that happens, I guess she has to let go of the coulda, shoulda, woulda, buckle up and just keep going."-Carrie, Sex & the City

"Later that night I got to thinking about fate, that crazy concept that we're not really responsible for the course our lives take, that it's all predestined, written in the stars. Maybe that explains why if you live in a city where you can't even see the stars your love life tends to feel a little more random. And even if our every man, every kiss, every heartache is prerecorded from some cosmic catalogue can we still take a wrong step and wander off our own personal milkyway? I couldn't help but wonder, can you make a mistake and miss your fate?"-Carrie, Sex & the City

"People go to casinos for the same reason they go on blind dates, hoping to hit the jackpot but mostly you just wind up broke or alone in a bar. If we know the house always wins, why gamble?"-Carrie, Sex & the City

And I had to include this amazing quote delivered by Al Pacino in Any Given Sunday:

"You find out life's this game of inches, so is football. Because in either game, life or football--the margin for error is so small. I mean one half a step too late or too early and you don't quite make it. One half second too slow, too fast and you don't quite catch it. The inches we need are everywhere around us. They're in every break of the game, every minute, every second. On this team we fight for that inch. On this team we tear ourselves and everyone else around us to pieces for that inch. We claw with our fingernails for that inch. Because we know when we add up all those inches, that's gonna make the f***ing difference between winning and losing! Between living and dying!"

"Always behave like a duck - keep calm and unruffled on the surface but paddle like the devil underneath."
-Jacob Braude

"Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things."
-1 Corinthians 13

"If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away."
-Henry David Thoreau

"Some people measure their lives in pulse rates and sit-ups. Far better to measure yours in licks of ice cream, well-told jokes, mad dashes to be first in the water, belly laughs. And, when you die, it won't be an erratic shift in your heart rate, it will be an overdose of mirth, fun poisoning, death by laughter."
- advertisement for Keds

My favorite quote is

"Attitude is 90% of getting through life"
I read it in an interview of a woman who was dying from breast cancer. I like to think of it as my motto for getting through everything.

Every once in awhile, a girl has to indulge herself." ~Sex and the City

"Who cares what you are - just enjoy it!"
~Sex and the City

"Maybe our mistakes are what make our fate." ~Sex and the City

"The nights you don't remember are the nights you'll never forget"

"If you can't lower heaven, then raise hell."

"You can always retake a class, but you can never relive a great party"

"could have met you in the sandbox, could have passed you on the sidewalk, could i have missed my chance and watch you walk away...." ~John Mayer

No one in this world is a virgin....life screws us all.

A friend will bail you out of jail but your best friend will be the one sitting next to you saying "That was f*cking awesome."

A friend will help you move but a best friend will help you move a body.
