This is a simple game in which you share a quote you find interesting with the rest of the community. Thanks to Thinkexist.com, I've found a ton that I like. Here is just one of them.
"Imagination and fiction make up more than three-quarters of our real life."~Clive James

"Hundreds of years from now, it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove... But the world may be different because I did something so bafflingly crazy that my ruins become a tourist attraction."
~Demotivators
Not inspiring, but definitely my favourite quote of the last few days. XD

To Cy: LOL!
To Anara: So true.
“We cannot tell the exact moment a friendship is formed; as in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses, there is at last one that makes the heart run over.” ~Unknown

"There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after." ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
“I do not love the bright sword for it's sharpness, nor the arrow for it's swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend” ~ J.R.R. Tolkien
Tolkien's my hero!

Wow guys! You've all found really nice quotes! ;D
I loved this one even though it didn't list a writer.

Aw man, that Tolkein one about defense is awesome. I might actually revive "quote of the Random Time Unit".
In their youth both Herder and Schiller intended to study as surgeons, but Destiny said: "No, there are deeper wounds than those of the body, -- heal the deeper!" and they wrote. -Jean Paul Richter, writer

"NOTHING CAN PROTECT YOUR FROM ME, NO MAN, NO WEAPON, NO ARMOR!" ~Alex Mercer, Prototype (Xbox 360) "Don't shoot facts to fit theories, instead, shoot theories to fit facts." ~Sherlock Holmes, uh.. any Holmes book, really. "Do a barrel roll!" ~Peppy Hare, Star Fox 64 Hur hur, so epic. Sorry, my quotes are so non-serious. I know there are some inspirational ones I like, I just can't think of them.

This one could apply to Avatar and much, much more. “In the end we will conserve only what we love. We will love only what we understand. We will understand only what we are taught.” ~ Baba Dioum
These are some other love related quotes I really like.
“There is a sacredness in tears. They are not the mark of weakness, but of power. They speak more eloquently than ten thousand tongues. They are messengers of overwhelming grief...and unspeakable love.” ~ Washington Irving
“I love you, and because I love you, I would sooner have you hate me for telling you the truth than adore me for telling you lies.”~ Pietro Aretino
