People can say SUCH funny things

So I had no idea what to post, but then the idea came to me to post some of my favorite and random quotes...some are funny and some are thought-inspiring....
Leave your favorite quote in a comment!!! :D

"Quick's the word and sharp's the action, wot, wot?" -Basil Stag Hare

"Never insult the author; she might put you in a book and kill you." -Anonymous

"Can you penetrate the designs of God? Dare you vie with the perfection of the Almighty? It is higher than the heavens; what can you do? It is longer than the earth in measure, and broader than the sea." -unknown

"I have a mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it." -Groucho Marx

"Humor is reason gone mad." -Groucho Marx

"Death but not sin." -St. Dominic Savio

"No wonder You have so few friends, since you treat the ones You have so badly!" -St. Teresa of Avila (upon getting her donkey cart stuck in the mud and unable to get it out no matter how hard she tried)

"Love God, serve God; everything is in that." -St. Clare of Assisi

"I don't sing in the shower; I rap." -Travis "Pronk" Hafner (player on the Indians baseball team in Ohio)

"I like nonsense - it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. It's a way of looking at life through the wrong end of a telescope... and that enables you to laugh at all of life's realities." -Dr. Suess

"Weddings? I love weddings! Drinks all around!" -Captain Jack Sparrow

"Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger." - Merry Brandybuck

"It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him." -J.R.R. Tolkien

"Ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates? Morons." -Vizzini

LOL! Some of those were hilarious!
My fav quotes have to be some of my (blonde) sister Hannah's when she's tired. I promise that they're all things she really did say:
"I've been listening in on this conversation and frankly, it's been a bit confusing."

"At least I've been 'sober' most of the evening!"

"I don't want my nieces and nephews growing up thinking that I'm a ditz."

And a couple that might be encouraging to you during NaNoWriMo:
"Sometimes you must jump off of cliffs and grow wings on the way down." ~Ray Bradbury

"Do not wait for ideas. Start writing something and the ideas will come. You have to turn the faucet on before the water flows." ~Louis L'Amour

"You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." ~Inigo

"I write for the same reason I breathe: because if I didn't, I would die." ~Isaac Asimov

"Did you steal my pen again?" ~my Mom

"Praise God and bring it on!" ~David Lingo

"Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these: 'It might have been!'" ~from "Maud Muller" by John Greenleaf Whittier

"I don't want to spend my whole life asking 'What if I had given everything instead of going through the motions?'" ~Matthew West, 'The Motions'

"Writers are so weird." ~my brother James

Hey Lu,
Thanks for praying for Noah. Actually, he might be coming home today or tomorrow. :-)
Oh goodie! Quotes! ;-D Hm...

"I love mankind, it's people I can't stand" - Charles M. Schulz (LOL same here)

This one makes me think of the friends I made on Inklings:
"Friendship is born at that moment when one person says to another: "What! You too? I thought I was the only one."
— C.S. Lewis
:-D

One more:
"I love writing. I love the swirl and swing of words as they tangle with human emotions."
— James A. Michener

*blissful sigh*
