Quote Something Good

There's all kinds of great stuff worth quoting. Movies. Songs. Graffiti. Yer mum. Yer Mum's boyfriend. Even books.


Just quote something good...


Gunnery Sergeant Hartman (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000388/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): Holy Jesus! What is that? What the fuck is that? WHAT IS THAT, PRIVATE PYLE?
Private Gomer Pyle (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000352/?ref_=tt_trv_qu): Sir, a jelly doughnut, sir!

"Do you know why there's not a single word in those 'reality' shows? Because they don't know anything, dear, what are they going to talk about? If you put four engineers, five physicists, grown-up people, there's going to be a dialogue and people will be able to learn, but nobody wants to watch- well, it's not really that nobody wants to watch that. People are induced not to pay attention to things that are not escapism, part of this big network of escapism human beings have." -- Ricardo Iorio

Excellent choice, boab. Your post enticed me to look up more of her quotes:


I might repeat to myself, slowly and soothingly, a list of quotations beautiful from minds profound; if I can remember any of the damn things.


There's a hell of a distance between wise-cracking and wit. Wit has truth in it; wise-cracking is simply calisthenics with words.


All those writers who write about their own childhood! Gentle God, if I wrote about mine you wouldn't sit in the same room with me.


You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think.

Parker's answer when asked to use the word horticulture during a game of Can-You-Give-Me-A-Sentence?



I'm never going to accomplish anything; that's perfectly clear to me. I'm never going to be famous. My name will never be writ large on the roster of Those Who Do Things. I don't do anything. Not one single thing. I used to bite my nails, but I don't even do that any more.

Warning to Children Children, if you dare to think
Of the greatness, rareness, muchness
Fewness of this precious only
Endless world in which you say
You live, you think of things like this:
Blocks of slate enclosing dappled
Red and green, enclosing tawny
Yellow nets, enclosing white
And black acres of dominoes,
Where a neat brown paper parcel
Tempts you to untie the string.
In the parcel a small island,
On the island a large tree,
On the tree a husky fruit.
Strip the husk and pare the rind off:
In the kernel you will see
Blocks of slate enclosed by dappled
Red and green, enclosed by tawny
Yellow nets, enclosed by white
And black acres of dominoes,
Where the same brown paper parcel -
Children, leave the string alone!
For who dares undo the parcel
Finds himself at once inside it,
On the island, in the fruit,
Blocks of slate about his head,
Finds himself enclosed by dappled
Green and red, enclosed by yellow
Tawny nets, enclosed by black
And white acres of dominoes,
With the same brown paper parcel
Still untied upon his knee.
And, if he then should dare to think
Of the fewness, muchness, rareness,
Greatness of this endless only
Precious world in which he says
he lives - he then unties the string.

'Fuck Off! Cunts!' -- Chalice

I've never, even the once, on this board, found need of an exclamation mark. I find people who find need of them stupid fucking cunts. Of all the unnecessary punctuation in the language English, this is the most offensive. I fucking hate its fucking guts. And I don't need an exclamation mark to re-enforce that.

I thought it was just an upside down i, just like iPod! which is the same upside down, as seen in a mirror.

I take on board your strong feelings about the use of the exclamation mark, and while I don't entirely agree with your sentiment, I do understand your desire to see this mark drastically reduced. The exclamation mark (!) should only be used where absolutely necessary. Other punctuations, such as comma (,) and fullstop (.), should be used more by many members of this board. Also, paragraphing should be practised more.

The general consensus is that most people using this board, or indeed the internet, should concentrate on studying the English language because their grasp of this very necessary communication tool is somewhat lacking. Being unable to express yourself properly is a severe handicap. If you cannot convey the proper feelings using the written word, you may as well give up even trying.

So, in true Chalice style, I will re-quote your phrase, omitting the offensive punctuation, which I hope will meet with your approval. If it doesn't, well, who gives a fuck anyway.


'Fuck Off. Cunts.' -- Chalice

[chalice]

More like it, innit. However, somewhat general. I find most other points of syntax fucking crucial. They do stuff good. They fulfil their remit, whistle blows, every cunt goes home happy. Surely, in that specific point of exclamation, we as exquisitely expressive animals, can muster our thoughts onto the internets with some eloquence (this is moot in the natural usage of any punctuation, ((see Idol)) and a decent image imagined will forgo everything).

Where is the need for a, fuck, dare I say it, bang? What cunt dreamt up that wankish expression? That just confirms its inadequacy. Fuck exclamation marks and fuck Idol and most of all, fuck all them baby-gnawing foxes. Coming into our homes, eating our babies' faces. What a pack of cunts.

Just like Rolf, your opinion has been reneged.

Fuck exclamation marks and fuck Idol ....

I am probably alone in my appreciation that another thread has taken the path less traveled.:)
Predictability may be a good thing for snow tires but other than that ....

In that vein and now having watched one entire episode of Breaking Bad ,which punctuation aside obviously makes me an authority,I have formulated two theories of why like Lost/Heroes/Twin Peaks etc before it most people are so enamoured with it.
Of the two the one that I'm currently favouring is that you're all unbelievably ghey.

"I have just returned from visiting the Marines at the front, and there is not a finer fighting organization in the world!" General Douglas Macarthur, US Army

"Teufelhunden! (Devil Dog)" Nickname given by German Soldiers, WW1 at Belleau Wood.

"We have two companies of Marines running all over this island and thousands of Army troops doing nothing!" General John Vessey, Chairman of Joint Chiefs (About Grenada).

"Retreat hell! We just got here!" Captain Lloyd Williams, USMC.

"Panic sweeps my men when they are facing the American Marines." Captured North Korean Major.

"Some people spend an entire lifetime wondering if they made a difference. The Marines don't have that problem." President Ronald Reagan.

"Marines are about the most peculiar breed of human beings I have ever witnessed. They treat their service as if it were some kind of cult, plastering their emblem on almost everything they own, making themselves up to look like insane fanatics with haircuts ungentlemanly short, worshipping their Commandant almost as if he were a god, and making weird animal noises like a band of savages. They will fight like rabid dogs at the drop of a hat just for the sake of a little action and are the cockiest SOB's I have ever known. Most have the foulest mouths and drink well beyond a man's normal limits. But, their high spirits and sense of brotherhood set them apart and generally speaking the United States Marines I have come in contact with are the most professional soldiers and the finest men I have had the pleasure to meet." Anonymous Canadian Citizen 1969.

"The Marines I have seen around the world have the cleanest bodies, the filthiest minds, the highest morale, and the lowest morals of any group of animals I have ever seen. Thank God for the United States Marine Corps!" ..............Eleanor Roosevelt, 1945.

"THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS... is over 225 years of romping, stomping, hell, death and destruction. The finest fighting machine the world has ever seen. We were born in a Bomb Crater, Our Mother was an M-16 & Our Father was the Devil. Each moment that I live is an additional threat upon your life. I am a rough looking, roving soldier of the sea. I am cocky, self-centered, overbearing, and do not know the meaning of fear, for I am fear itself. I am a green amphibious monster, made of blood and guts, who arose from the sea, feasting on anti-Americans throughout the globe. Whenever it may arise, and when my time comes, I will die a glorious death on the battlefield, giving my life for Mom, the Corps, and the American Flag. We stole the eagle from the Air Force, the anchor from the Navy, and the rope from the Army. On the 7th day, while God rested, we over-ran his perimeter and stole the globe, and we've been running the show ever since. We live like soldiers and talk like sailors and slap the Hell out of both of them. Marine by day, lover by night, drunkard by choice, MARINE BY GOD!!! OORAH!!!"

-William Tecumseh Sherman

I was looking for another quote from Sherman- something on the lines of, "Burn it. Burn it all!", but he actually seems to have been a very collected and thoughtful individual.

http://www.rjgeib.com/thoughts/sherman/sherman-to-burn-atlanta.html

Excerpt from the above link, which is a letter to the people of Atlanta before burning it to the ground.


[...]We don't want your Negroes, or your horses, or your lands, or any thing you have, but we do want and will have a just obedience to the laws of the United States. That we will have, and if it involved the destruction of your improvements, we cannot help it.

You have heretofore read public sentiment in your newspapers, that live by falsehood and excitement; and the quicker you seek for truth in other quarters, the better. I repeat then that, bu the original compact of government, the United States had certain rights in Georgia, which have never been relinquished and never will be; that the South began the war by seizing forts, arsenals, mints, custom-houses, etc., etc., long before Mr. Lincoln was installed, and before the South had one jot or title of provocation. I myself have seen in Missouri, Kentucky, Tennessee, and Mississippi, hundreds and thousands of women and children fleeing from your armies and desperadoes, hungry and with bleeding feet. In Memphis, Vicksburg, and Mississippi, we fed thousands and thousands of the families of rebel soldiers left on our hands, and whom we could not see starve. Now that war comes to you, you feel very different. You deprecate its horrors, but did not feel them when you sent car-loads of soldiers and ammunition, and moulded shells and shot, to carry war into Kentucky and Tennessee, to desolate the homes of hundreds and thousands of good people who only asked to live in peace at their old homes, and under the Government of their inheritance. But these comparisons are idle. I want peace, and believe it can only be reached through union and war, and I will ever conduct war with a view to perfect an early success.

But, my dear sirs, when peace does come, you may call on me for any thing. Then will I share with you the last cracker, and watch with you to shield your homes and families against danger from every quarter.

Now you must go, and take with you the old and feeble, feed and nurse them, and build for them, in more quiet places, proper habitations to shield them against the weather until the mad passions of men cool down, and allow the Union and peace once more to settle over your old homes in Atlanta.

Yours in haste,
W.T. Sherman, Major-General commanding

I don't think you can glorify the player without by default also glorifying the game. If you would like to debate the validity of that statement then please feel free.
Anyway what is perceived as being courageous or honourable is open to interpretation as Muhammad Ali could probably have told you from his prison cell.

Also hunters are only "the best" conservationists since they covet the opportunity to kill stuff.They are branch of the same tree that the idiots tearing up the woods on their ATVs all the while loudly proclaiming their love of the outdoors belong to.
Ever consider shooting stuff only with a camera or God forbid,hiking maybe?

Or in other words,hunters can take their contrived "love of nature" and seriously go fuck themselves.

So if I've understanding you right,then when confronted with the statement "War is Hell" you're saying "Not so much".

No one loves war, but we all love peace. Sometimes, we have to fight to keep the peace. The sacrifice made by those who lay down their lives to keep the peace is a sacrifice well made. Each generation needs to thank those that went before for ensuring that the peace continues.

Almost all war is fought over land,religion or resources.I'm pretty sure keeping the peace has very little to do with most of it.

Anyway slave to one master as opposed to slave to another seems a pretty silly reason for anyone to die.

Totally, I mean, it's not as if regular infantry in several other nations have equivalent or better training.

Oh, wait.


Thing is, the U.S. is average at soldiering, what they've won by is having better logistics/supply chains than the other guy. OFC, the other side of that particular coin is they tend to take it for granted so much that they can't fix shit in the field. When a gun starts jamming, the whole thing gets replaced. It probably doesn't help that they overcomplicate things, as well. A Hornet can hardly function without a whole crew with specialised tools going over it between every flight and you need a smooth landing path, a MIG-29 can land and lift off again on gravel roads, and you can probably do basic repairs on it with a hammer. The difference between an M16 and an AK47 is nearly as striking.

Other than that, I'm with idle, basically. I'm sure that there have been just wars over important and righteous things, but the last one in Iraq, fex, wasn't one.

“We had two bags of grass, seventy-five pellets of mescaline, five sheets of high powered blotter acid, a salt shaker half full of cocaine, and a whole galaxy of multi-colored uppers, downers, screamers, laughers... and also a quart of tequila, a quart of rum, a case of Budweiser, a pint of raw ether and two dozen amyls.
Not that we needed all that for the trip, but once you get locked into a serious drug collection, the tendency is to push it as far as you can.

I find it ironic that a section of American society brag that they are Irish-American, while no one brags that they are Anglo-American or English-American. The real irony is that the Irish emigrated to the US because life in Ireland was so desperate at that point in time.

Why, on why, do several generations removed wish that they were back in their heritage came from, instead of accepting that they were born on US soil, to US parents, of US parents, It is their great great great great great Grand Daddy that emigrated, and only because his life was so bloody poor that he wanted a new life on a new shore. If he was only alive today to hear his offspring having desires to return to their roots, he'd have a fit.

After all, you don't hear Eddy Murphy or any other famous black Hollywood actor desiring to return to their roots in the middle of a jungle or desert. In fact, if anyone's roots are in Somalia, they are probably glad they got out when they did.

As for being a nerd, I am a member of this forum, for sharing of files, which makes most, if not all, members here somewhat nerdy.

As for being a twit, well that is your own personal perception of me, based on your own existence. You should not judge others by your own existence, as that might distort your own judgement. To judge honestly, you must compare me to others, not yourself.

So, for being a twit, that may, or may not, be the case.

Finally, while I may be English born and bred, my roots are found in many places. I have Irish, Scottish, Welsh, Canadian and Maltese blood running in my veins. I may even have a little bit of black blood running in my veins, although my dancing is nothing to be desired.

Brody isn't "thinking.His reaction is one of shock,not fear as he finally begins to realize the true magnitude of the situation that he's facing.

Also by delivering the line as a definitive, it doesn't present any wishy-washiness which is important.

Although Quint,Brody and Hooper might be there for various reasons,one thing they share in common is all are unwavering in their actions which is why out of all the characters they are the three on that boat and also why they choose to persist even when things begin to go bad.

One of the most memorable parts from Fight Club:



Jack: Let me tell you a little bit about Tyler. Tyler was a night person. While the rest of us were sleeping, he worked. He had one part time job as a projectionist. See, a movie doesn't come all on one big reel. It comes on a few. So someone has to be there to switch the projectors at the exact moment that one reel ends and the next one begins. If you look for it, you can see these little dots come into the upper right-hand corner of the screen.
*Tyler points at it*
Tyler: In the industry, we call them cigarette burns.
Jack: That's the cue for a changeover. He flips the projectors, the movie keeps right on going, and nobody in the audience has any idea.
Tyler: And why would anyone want this shit job?
Jack: Because it affords him other interesting opportunities.
Tyler: Like splicing single frames of pornography into family films.
Jack: So when the snooty cat and the courageous dog with the celebrity voices meet for the first time in reel three, that's when you'll catch a flash of Tyler's contribution to the film.
*Cue to an audience watching a movie. A porn scene audibly flashes for a split second*
Jack: Nobody knows that they saw it, but they did.
Tyler: A nice, big cock.
*The audience is shocked; a little girl cries*
Jack: Even a hummingbird couldn't catch Tyler at work.

*Scene changes to a dinner in a hotel*

Jack: Tyler also works sometimes as a banquet waiter at the luxurious pressman hotel.

*Scene changes to the hotel's kitchen; Tyler is urinating on a food cart*

Jack: He was the guerrilla terrorist of the food service industry.
Tyler: Do not watch. I cannot go when you watch.
Jack: Apart from seasoning the lobster bisque, he farted on meringues, sneezed on braised endive, and as for the cream of mushroom soup, well...
Tyler: Go ahead, tell 'em.
Jack: ...you get the idea.

(Setting is a courtroom. Ravenna is posing as a lawyer taking a statement)

Ravenna: What is your job, Mr. Itzkoff?
Itzkoff: I'm a advertising creative executive.
Ravenna: "Advertising creative executive." And what would that activity consist on?
Itzkoff: Well, I picture the best way to sell a particular product.
Ravenna: Would that be a product that people need?
Itzkoff: I don't understand.
Ravenna: Of course, if one is cold, they go out and buy a coat. If someone's hungry, they go out and buy something to eat. In that regard, your activity would not be very logical.
Itzkoff: Then?
Ravenna: According this book, "Creativity and Marketing" from licensees Michigan and Kessler, advertising consists on selling someone something that they don't actually need. Do you agree with that definition?
Itzkoff: Could be, yes.
Ravenna: In that case, in college you learn how to plug in someone something they don't really need, making them believe they'll be happier that way?
Itzkoff: Well, that's one way to see it.
Ravenna: According your studies, whom do you think has a more consumeristic profile: a happy person, or an unhappy person?
Itzkoff: An unhappy person. In fact, in advertising we work precisely with the "illusion of happiness", so to speak — if you drink a certain beverage, you will be happier; if you have a particular mobile phone, you'll surely be happier... someone who feels complete or satisfied surely won't consume.
Ravenna: So it is not convenient for the capitalist system to have people feeling satisfied?
