Title: Who quoted it?
Post by: Bruce M on November 29, 2011, 07:37:39 PM
Im a big fan of good quotes and I just remembered this stupid game we played in school where someone would tell a quote and we had to guess who quoted it. I'll start.
  "The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy"

EZ one, I know, but its one of my favorites.

alright! game on! this 1 will be a bit tough for most people.. hint though, it's from a movie

'don't allow eons of history and life to get blinked out of being, just because you have a grudge against your creator. so you lost the ability to make life? you're being offered the chance to play mother to the world by acting like 1 and protecting it, saving it'

"I never saw a wild thing feel
sorry for itself.
A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough
without ever having felt sorry for itself."
Not the movie quote, I want the person who wrote it.

lol since st anger, they've fallen way way waaaaaaay off my 'favorite list..' that was a severe disappointment.. but since lyrics are acceptable, here's a couple i bet no one gets.. if they do, they're my new best friend lol

'for my family, for my friends. for all those we lost i say. this is our message, this is for you. never forget the lower east side crew'

'i look in your eyes, i see through your disguise. you're killing yourself, can't hide behind your lies'

hint, both are by the same new york-based band..

Post by: Shadow on December 04, 2011, 09:04:36 PM
i doubt anyone here will get it lol most people haven't even heard of them, unless they're really into hardcore

i haven't listened to metallica in ages, except what few songs i have on my MP3 player that's constantly plugged into my head unit.. nothing but old stuff like whiskey in a jar, enter sandman and a few others.. including one, of course ;)
