-19 quotes you love
1. "Perhaps I should not have been a fisherman," he thought. "But that was the thing that I was born for." -Ernest Hemingway in "The Old Man and the Sea"
2. "I have this problem where I want to be everything I'm not." - Touché Amoré
3. "I would never want to belong to any club that would have someone like me for a member." -Woody Allen in "Annie Hall"
4. "I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying." -Oscar Wilde
5. "Everything has a purpose, clocks tell you the time, trains take you to places. I'd imagine the whole word was one big machine. Machines never come with any extra parts, you know. They always comes with the exact amount they need. So I figured if the entire world was one big machine...I couldn't be an extra part. I had to be here for some reason. And that means you have to be here for some reason, too." -Hugo Cabret
6. "Everything tastes of liquorice. Especially all the things you've waited so long for." Ernest Hemingway in "Hills like White Elephants"
7. "Traveling is a fool's paradise. Our first journeys discover to us the indifference of places. At home I dream at Naples, at Rome. I can be intoxicated with beauty and lose my sadness. I pack my trunk, embrace my friends, embark on the sea and at last wake up in Naples, and there beside me is the stern fact, the sad self, unrelenting, identical, that I fled from. I see the Vatican, and the palaces. I affect to be intoxicated with sights and suggestions, but I am not intoxicated. My giant goes with me wherever I go." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
8. "That's what the present is. It's a little unsatisfying because life is unsatisfying." -Midnight in Paris
9. "All morons hate it when you call them a moron." -Holden Caulfield in The Catcher in the Rye
10. "That's the whole trouble. You can't ever find a place that's nice and peaceful, because there isn't any. You may think there is, but once you get there, when you're not looking, somebody'll sneak up and write "F*** you" right under your nose. Try it sometime. I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say "Holden Caulfield" on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, then right under that it'll say "F*** you." I'm positive, in fact." -Holden Caulfield
11. "I don't believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and if they can't find them, make them." -Vivie in "Mrs Warren's Profession" by Bernard Shaw
12. "Don't you be led astray by people who don't know the world, my girl." -Mrs Warren in "Mrs Warren's Profession" by Bernard Shaw
13. "I can't be running back and forth forever between grief and high delight." -J.D. Salinger
14. "I'm afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning." -Andy Warhol
15. "I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process." -Vincent van Gogh
16. "You can judge a true man's character by the way he treats his fellow animals." -Paul McCartney
17. "A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite. And to act so is immoral."
18. "FFS." -Kirsten Bryan
19. "Sweet corn is just corn that is sweet." -Eric Larkin
