This is one I thought of when I was being torn between family
and a decision I was making that they all thought was wrong.




I'm aware that I am not what some prefer me to be,
but most are unaware that I am so much more than what they see.

I stated this one first when talking to my dad, and he made a disparaging remark about "tree huggers":

If more of us don't start hugging trees, then there won't be any more trees to not hug. When there are no more trees to not hug, there won't be any more people to not hug the trees.

Convoluted, but original. laugh laugh

I came up with this one earlier this year.

It was in the middle of the night, no sleep, and possibly on cold medication. laugh

If God gave man free will, to allow man to do what he wants, then why do we (Humans) feel the need to judge someone, if God didn't judge them, so what makes us better then God to judge someone.


-Robert

I have a ton more personal quotes.

When my son was around 14 years old, he was feeling the peer pressures of that age and feeling that he didn't fit in with a lot of the kids in his school (what he didn't realize at the time is that most adolescents feel this way).
I told him that friendships and relationships are much like a jigsaw puzzle....each piece will only truly fit with a few around them, who are in turn going to only fit with a few others, etc. You can try to force a fit, but it just isn't going to work or look right in the end. And I told him that each piece is equally important. Without each piece in place, the puzzle is not complete.

OK, so it may not be an actual quote, but the message apparently got through to him that day, for years later (when he was about 20), he told me that he never forgot that little jigsaw puzzle image and that it meant a lot to him and helped him through those often agonizing teen years.

I remember saying this as a little kid...

"I always get what I always want, but when I get it I no longer want it."

(must be something about manifestation?)
was a long time ago...

Just a few of the more memorable ones that come to mind:

"You can quote me if you'd like, but I'm afraid it won't make you sound very credible..."

"Hmmm..."

"Beats the hell outta' me, John!"

"I fell out of an airplane - How the hell do you THINK I got down here?!!"

"Huh?"

"Nope."

"Yep."

"I stepped on a real springy land-mine - How the hell do you THINK I got up here?!!"

"Yes, Dear."

"No, Dear."

"Well, you can try it if you want to, John, but I think I'd rather take my chances with the alligators."

"Watch out for that... Damn! I was trying to avoid the hole and didn't see the freakin' tree limb!"

"Oh, real funny, God!"

Well, I'm glad someone's enjoying my misfortune because I sure as hell ain't - When you get done immitating a hyena would you mind tossing me a rope?"

"Please don't quote me - I'd never want anyone to know that I actually said something that stupid!"

Here's a few more:

"You're kidding me! Hell, I'm impressed - I didn't think this beat up old piece of junk would go that fast! Can I have a ticket so my friends will believe it?" (I didn't get the ticket...)

"Truth is, when it's all said and done, I plan on being a long gawddamn ways away from here."

"Hang on, let me re-phrase that - I didn't know I was going to be quoted."

It's one thing to know how to tell a story. It's quite another to know when to tell it. Unfortunately, most folks never quite figure out either...
