My favorite quote of all time is the one by Hafiz on my codex profile. I would get it tattooed on a heartbeat.

If I had to tattoo words on me, I'd totally get "I live to let you shine" down my spine.

^ same question to you.

Money and prioritizing. I'm getting stars on my ribcage after I get financially settled. All other tattoos can wait.

My parents would cut all college funding so fast my head would spin haha. But if I were to get a quote tattooed anytime soon, it would be "If I look back, I am lost." Short and sweet (and easier to hide)

Of course, himym. So many amazing quotes.

 

"Because sometimes even if you know how something’s gonna end that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy the ride."

 

"That’s life, you know, we never end up where you thought you wanted to be."

 

"We’re going to get older whether we like it or not, so the only question is whether we get on with our lives, or desperately cling to the past."

 

"Look, you can’t design your life like a building. It doesn’t work that way. You just have to live it… and it’ll design itself."

and, if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death."

Shit. This thread will be my +rep brothel.

 

So many good quotes here. I think I'm starting to actually feel something.

Really been liking this one lately:

 

“Your past is just a story. And once you realize this, it has no power over you.”

I really like this one since it sets the context for one of my favorite novels.

Doublethink is one of my favorite words. It's so necessary. How did we live before Orwell?
 

This is one of the best quotes from that entire series of the Gundam franchise. I can't say best of the whole franchise because that would mean I had actually sat through some pretty shitty Gundam series. But of the ones I've seen, that's one of the best speeches. Also worth considering:

"There is nothing more beautiful than a warrior with no distractions. One could say he is the closest thing to God."
and
"Consider this a gesture of civility towards Miliardo Peacecraft. Remember this for the future; a war with no civility only gives rise to massacre."
From Trieze Kushrenada.

As well as "Those who are right have to be strong!" from Wufei.
 

I thought of this initially. But I decided against going dark from the start. The world doesn't always make sense.

Some from my collection:

"A professor is one who talks in someone else's sleep." - W. H. Auden

"People demand freedom of speech as a compensation for freedom of thought, which they seldom use." - Soren Kierkegaard

"Anyone who isn't confused really doesn't understand the situation." Edward R. Murrow

"The test of a first rate intelligence is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time and still retain the ability to function. One should, for example, be able to see that things are hopeless and yet still be determined to make them otherwise." - F. Scott Fitzgerald
