Freddie Mercury
- Interesting people
"Oh, I was not made for heaven. No, I don't want to go to heaven. Hell is much better. Think of all the interesting people you're going to meet down there!" - Freddie Mercury.
Liberace
- Dare
"I have to dare a little bit. Who am I kidding - I have to dare a lot. Don't wear one ring, wear five or six. People ask how I can play with all those rings, and I reply, Very well, thank you." - Liberace.
Red Adair
- Hire a professional
Red Adair, the most famous oil-well firefighter of all time said, "If you think it's expensive to hire a professional to do the job, wait until you hire an amateur."
Demonshorne
- Little things
In the final hours, Jevediah learned that it was the little things that really mattered. The quiet moments, wormed deep down into a crack between a large boulder and a cliff face, where he could catch his breath, let his pulse slow down, and actually believe - if only briefly - that he was going to survive to see another sunset. The feel of cool air evaporating the sweat on his face, and in his hair, as he scrambled to keep from losing control of his descent along a crumbling rock face...
Puss in Boots
- Shrek the Third
Puss in Boots: "How can you be a receiver of the wedgies, when you are clearly not a wearer of the underpants?" Donkey: "Let's just say some things are better left unsaid."
Stephen Donaldson
- Thomas Covenant the Unbeliever
"Are you a storyteller, Thomas Covenant?" Absently he replied, "I was, once." "And you gave it up? Ah, that is as sad a tale in three words as any you might have told me. But a life without a tale is like a sea without salt. How do you live?" ... Unconsciously, he clenched his fist over his ring. "I live." "Another?" Foamfollower returned. "In two words, a story sadder than the first. Say no more - with one word you will make me weep."
Terry Goodkind
- Wizards Second Rule
"The Second Rule is that the greatest harm can result from the best intentions. It sounds a paradox, but kindness and good intentions can be an insidious path to destruction. Sometimes doing what seems right is wrong, and can cause harm. The only counter to it is knowledge, wisdom, forethought, and understanding the First Rule. Even then, that is not always enough." -Zedd.
Raistlin
- Companion's Rhapsody (parody)
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? Where do the stars hide? Why does evil look down on me... hourglass eyes look up to the skies and see... I'm not a weak mage; I know the truth, you see. There will be dragons blue, dragons white; dragons good rise to fight; any way the war goes, doesn't really matter to me... to me.
Unknown
- Don't give up
Whilst e'ery man must needs face himself and the deeds of his own doing, still yet not e'ery man can muster the fortitude by which such can be endured. Let not thy countenance fall on account of thy moral cowardice, for surely there exists such within thee that remembers the spark of pride, and the warmth of accomplishment in the face of adversity. Kindle that spark; nurture that warmth! If thou should truly wish it, thou canst endure e'en such shame as this.
