Getting to Know you Quotes!!!

Today, for Getting to Know You Day at the CAC blog, Megan asked us about our favorite quotes! Well, as you all know, I am INSANELY OBSESSED with quotes... so... I had to participate.

So, what's your all time favorite quote?

So many to choose from!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

“I would rather be ashes than dust! I would rather that my spark should burn out in a brilliant blaze than it should be stifled by dry-rot. I would rather be a superb meteor, every atom of me in magnificent glow, than a sleepy and permanent planet. The proper function of man is to live, not to exist. I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them. I shall use my time.” – Jack London

I love this quote... it SO totally describes the passion I want to live my life with!!!

What quote inspires you? What quote have you learned the most (about yourself, the world, anything) from?

“Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you... And as we let our light shine, we give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." – Marianne Williamson

Who's quotes do you always keep an eye out? Who's your guru of choice?

SHAKESPEARE!!!! I *heart* him!

“Double, double toil and trouble;
Fire burn, and caldron bubble.
2 WITCH. Fillet of a fenny snake,
In the caldron boil and bake;
Eye of newt, and toe of frog,
Wool of bat, and tongue of dog,”

And Star Trek…

Jean-Luc Picard: NO! Nooooooooo! [smashes a display case in anger] I will not sacrifice the Enterprise. We've made too many compromises already, too many retreats. They invade our space and we fall back. They assimilate entire worlds and we fall back. Not again. The line must be drawn here! This far and no further! And I will make them pay for what they've done!

Seven Of Nine: Voyager is my Collective. (This quote reminds me of my "Ohana"... they are MY collective.)

"Jean-Luc, we're only moving six hundred people." -- Admiral Dougherty
"How many people does it take before it becomes wrong? Hmm? A thousand? Fifty thousand? A million? How many people does it take, Admiral!?" -- Picard

"With the first link, the chain is forged. The first speech censored, the first thought forbidden, the first freedom denied, chains us all irrevocably." -- Captain Picard, quoting Judge Aaron Satie (The Drumhead)
