These can be inspiring, funny or just something that makes you smile :D. Here are some of mine:
Humans are like slinkies. Practically useless and really fun to watch fall down stairs :D
She's my best friend. Break her heart and I'll break your face.
God made us friends because no mother could handle us as sisters.
I smile because you are my sister. I laugh because there is nothing you can do about it.
There's many more but I won't bore you :D
Thanks, Koffee. These are great!

*sigh* top?

This isn't that great, but I've had it running through my head all day. Also to get it to the top without adding a totally useless comment...
"Ford, you're turning into a penguin. Stop it."

Two of my favorite writing quotes:
If you wait for inspiration, you'll never get anything done. -- Chuck Close (one of my favorite artists, so technically it's not about writing, but it applies.)
An idea is made of past, future, and also meanwhile. -- Lynda Barry

"This is a book about reading a book that turns into another book. But it all ends happily." ~back cover of Where's My Cow?
*
"There are those who, when presented with a half-empty glass, will say that the glass is half full. There are those who will say that the glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who say, 'Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? Why is my glass half full? Who's been pinching my beer?!'. There are also those who have no glass, having been in the back of the queue and unable to catch the barman's eye." ~The Truth.
*
"Is that my daddy? He says, 'Don't let me detain you.' That is Lord Vetinari! He rules the city! Really don't let him detain you! That's not my daddy!" ~Where's My Cow. (Because, yes, I am a geek enough to have shelled out 17 bucks to buy the Discworld picture book.)
*
"If you are smoking, thank you for being beaten about the head." ~Making Money
*
"The clowns do not run my circus." ~Also Making Money, and Vetinari's second CMoA in as many pages. It makes sense in context.
*
"Death to the fascist oppressors, present company excepted!" ~Night Watch.
*
"You really are a scag, Vetinari."
"Just as you say, Downey."
~Night Watch. Probably the most terrifying scene ending Pterry has ever written, though it explains a lot about the present... Why Vetinari is off the register at the Assassin's Guild, for example.
*
"Given, then, a quasi-demonic thing of pure vengeance on the one hand, and the commander on the other, where would you wager, say... a dollar?"
"I wouldn't, sir. That one looks like it would go to the judges."
~Drumknott and Vetinari in Thud!
*
OH. DRAMA. ~Reaper Man.
*
A CROWN? I NEVER WORE A CROWN! ~Reaper Man again.
...
I'm done now.

Here is One of my favorite quotes Gandhi: "I don't reject your Christ. I love your
Christ. It's just that so many of you Christians are so unlike your
Christ." Gandhi

Here's one I say all the time: "An optimist is someone who jumps off of the Empire
State Building and at 50 floors down, thinks: So far, so good!"
Also, I heard this somewhere, too. "The worst thing in the world is to sit next to the one you've been dreaming of your whole life, and know you mean nothing to him. Nothing, at all." 'Cept that one's kind of sad. :)

My teachers would sue you, Tyler. :D
I wouldn't, though; IMHO that's a good quote.

"Come to the Dark side; we have cookies. ...Welcome to the Dark side. Are you surprised we lied about having cookies?"
"My future's so bright, I need shades."
"Why yes, I do spontaneously break out in ninja moves."
"I run with scissors. It makes me feel dangerous." <-- My favourite
"I did *not* hit you. I simply high-fived your face."
"You're just jealous because the voices only talk to me." <-- Also <3

Please forgive me for nerdily, geekishly loving my friends' iTouch backgrounds. :D

I know a lot of you have probably heard this quote but:
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."
-Ghandi
"Friends are the family we choose for ourselves."
I don't know who said that, but it's on a magnet in my friend's locker. I think it's pretty cute.
"Mistakes are the portals of discovery."
"Without wisdom, wealth is worthless."
Though not the absolute best series in the world, Pendragon does have some hilarious moments. Examples:
"Spader lifted up a fry, looking at it curiously. 'What exactly is a French before it’s fried?” he asked.'"
-Never War pg. 58
“At least I thought it was a wall. It sure felt like one. It was hard. It was flat. It stretched out on either side of me. You know… wall.”
-Bobby Pendragon in the Quillan Games
There were shelves everywhere that were loaded with dolls. Clown dolls. I hate clowns. Have I mentioned that? In my opinion, there are two kinds of people: those who fear and hate clowns… and clowns.
-Bobby in the Quillan Games pg. 100
"Pepr."
-Anti-spam
Probably more later.
