Post your quotes and witticisms!
« on: October 10, 2011, 10:07:59 am »

Everyone wants a chance to show off their clever turns of phrases.  It can be something you said or something you heard.  Ideally your quotes should stand alone ("brevity is the soul of wit") but if a short explanation provides context that's acceptable.  So, without further ado...

Yes.

I've got a few, but most of them don't make sense except to the people who are stuck with me all day. I'll start jotting down the especially good ones again.

I could probably post some of the random conversations from Gearhead 2. Some of it is nonsense, but a lot of it makes a sometimes disturbingly large amount of sense. And quite a bit of it is sexual innuedo.

This isn't forum quotes, this is real life quotes.
I guess we need another thread for quotes of fictional people then...

Paraphrased from Warhammer 40,000:

"Success requires no explanation.  Failure allows none."

It's derived from something along the lines of victory requiring no explanation, but it's still something I mostly try to live my life by.  Do everything you can to succeed.  If you fail anyway, then at least you know you did all that you could.

Not quite as fatalistic as the 40K intention, of course, but nothing is as grimdark as the original grimdark. :)

"Fear is a wasted emotion."
I usually tell someone this whenever they are too afraid to do something they should do. If I can, I do something ballsy but entertaining immediately before or afterwards to hammer the point home. (First time was when I was telling someone to just stop being afraid to ask someone else out, and my "ballsy" was to put my lips as close to theirs as I could before whispering it xD I'm...a bit of a showman at times.)

Though if I had to write it down instead of fitting it into something I can say, I'd go for: "No emotion is a greater a waste of your time or energy than needless fear."
