"Stories, like people and butterflies and songbirds' eggs and human hearts and dreams, are also fragile things, made up of nothing stronger or more lasting than twenty-six letters and a handful of punctuation marks. Or they are words on the air, composed of sounds and ideas-abstract, invisible, gone once they've been spoken-and what could be more frail than that? But some stories, small, simple ones about setting out on adventures or people doing wonders, tales of miracles and monsters, have outlasted all the people who told them, and some of them have outlasted the lands in which they were created."

-neil gaiman [fargile things: short fictions and wonders]

It was so long ago that I don't know which of her guests said it but it sure was a lightbulb moment.

[IRefuseToPayFullPrice]

Not my favourite but very interesting, somewhat pessimistic too:

By the time you swear you're his,
Shivering and sighing,
And he swears his love is this:
Forever, undying.
Lady, make a note of this:
One of you is lying.

Whoa!

I have a whole book of quotes that I write down by hand (remember handwriting?) when I come across them but one simple one that I don't have written down is from my late stepfather. Whenever something didn't work out or I didn't get something I wanted he often said this to help get some perspective:

"Well... it's better than a kick in the *ss!"
