"All the worlds a stage,Princes for to act, and Kings to behold the Swelling scene".
"Once more unto the Breach dear friends, or close up the wall with our English dead".
"To be or not to be that is the question, whether 'tis nobler to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,or take arms against a sea of troubles, and end them". All the quotations I know, all from Shakespearian speeches. Best book- The Oxford University Press- Book of Quotations.I'm sure you will have an American version, for you have some great Orators in the U.S.A.

The eye sees only what the mind is prepared to comprehend. Henri Bergson

Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain. Schiller

Answer 4

Here's a quote that also gives me a reflection about life:

Beautiful lives don't just happen. They are made, every single day, with much love, prayer and sacrifice.Many tasks we face each day can burden and oppress us. But spending time with GOD each day can bring relief from stress. Let us be reminded that. "In the end", only 3 things matter: how fully you lived, how deeply you loved, and how gracefully you let go of things..

Answer 5

There are many books of quotations about every subject you can imagine. They are serious, funny, or even cruel. These books are found in the library (ask your librarian where they are or check the Reference lists). You may also buy them in any bookstore. If you like quotes, these books will be your friends for a lifetime. Do some browsing, hold them in your hands, check them out, you won't regret it, I promise you.

Answer 6

"If you don't go to high school you will definitely go to jail."


"I'd rather be a creature of the night than an old dude."


"So many people treat you like you're a kid so you might as well act like one and throw your television out of the hotel window."


"Be Yourself, Don't take anyone's stuff and never let them take you alive..."


"So how was Christmas for you guys? Did you all get lots of nice black t-shirts?"


"When I was writing it, I was remembering how hard it was to be a 16-year-old in high school. I always wanted to be an artist, so I was this loner kid who just got drunk all the time. I only had one real friend. There was a girl I really liked, and she ended up taking really disturbing photographs with her boyfriend, and that really crushed me, I was just swimming in this pit of despair, jealousy and alcoholism."


"It erases everything I hate about myself. Nothing can hurt me. I feel completely invincible. I feel like everyone else on that stage is invincible and we're capable of anything. There's no stopping us."


"When you are kissing a guy with a beard, it's different."


"I have a nihilistic attitude so it's like, the new gay... it's popular." (Gerard on why we should give a darn about MCR)


"Look at me, with my pretty bracelet and tiara... I'm a princess!"


"Were not a festival band, playing during the day was something we had to get over, I was like uhh this sun stuff kind of sucks"


"When we first started out I had a really big issue and a lot of my loved ones had a really big issue with the fact that I was totally in pain up there and there was a time when I tried to hurt myself off stage, but I got over that. Like, you should never want to hurt yourself. You should love yourself. Sometimes you have to kind of die inside in order to rise from your own ashes and believe in yourself and love yourself and become a new person and I think that that is going to be a lot of what the next record is about, not to plug it or anything. Like, it's going to talk about dying and coming back to become what you totally want to become. We are all becoming what we want to become."


"What I Like about The Sims is that I don't have a normal life at all, so I play this game where these people have these really boring, mundane lives. It's fun. My Sims family is called the Cholly family. I don't know why I picked that name; it's kind of random. The teenage daughter is my favourite, because I just had her go through this Goth phase. She's really kind of nerdy and she just became a concert violinist, which is pretty huge for the family. And she got into private school. But she started wearing black lipstick and she dyed her hair purple. It's pretty huge."


"I went to school in drag, in art school and my day was completely different because everybody thought I was a chick. You should see me as a chick. So I went as a girl, as like an experiment and it worked really well and everyone was really nice to me but I couldn't talk obviously...you know train conductors were really cool to me on my commute...HA! I looked hot as a chick!"


"Craziest thing that ever happened to me was being attacked by a black bird. It pecked the heck out of my head. We were at this hotel called The Phoenix in San Francisco. We were leaving to go to a show the next morning and the bird just freakin attacked my head. And the next day Slipknot were there, they were coming in as we were leaving, and they got attacked by birds too."


"Yeah, obviously we use vampires as a metaphor for something else, something deeper than just the supernatural. But there's just something about the bloodsucking walking dead, that can say so much to people. There are really so many people trying to get control over you on a daily basis and steal your soul in some way, take a part of you..."



"That's what happens when you're all borderline psychotic and therein lies the beauty of this band - our duality. There's a duality to each band member too. There's a desire to have this constant conflict. If we write a write a song and it turns out really poppy, we have to make the lyrics really messsed up. There's psychosis to everything we do for sure. One day we're probably gonna write this number one pop tune that will be about a massacre!"


"If for one minute you think you're better than a sixteen year old girl in a Green Day t-shirt, you are sorely mistaken. Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn't know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about."
