If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
Albert Einstein

I used to go away for weeks in a state of confusion.
Albert Einstein

It gives me great pleasure indeed to see the stubbornness of an incorrigible nonconformist warmly acclaimed.

Success is a great deodorant.
Elizabeth Taylor

The problem with people who have no vices is that generally you can be pretty sure they're going to have some pretty annoying virtues.
Elizabeth Taylor

The Taming of the Shrew I watched stared Elisabeth Taylor, so these came to mind.

A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice.
Bill Cosby

Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.
Bill Cosby

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

I thought I knew most terms for certain parts of the anatomy until I watched Deadwood.

I've ordered the box set of Deadwood. Thanks for the quotes. I shall have to think of a prize for the best quote!

From me:

Memorable Quotes from "Six Feet Under" (2001-2005) created by Alan Ball

“You know what I find interesting? If you lose a spouse, you're called a widow, or a widower. If you're a child and you lose your parents, then you're an orphan. But what's the word to describe a parent who loses a child? I guess that's just too fucking awful to even have a name.”

~Rachel Griffiths as Brenda

-----------------------------
“I’m just saying; you only get one life. There’s no god, no rules, no judgements except for those you accept or create for yourself. And once it’s over, it’s over: dreamless sleep for ever and ever.”

~ Ghost Nate Fisher (Peter Krause), penultimate episode.

------------------------

Claire: It’s so much easier if you’re gay.
David: Oh no.
Claire: Well I wouldn’t have to deal with unfamiliar sex organs.
David: They’re all unfamiliar unless they are yours.

~ Lauren Ambrose as Claire Fisher, Michael C. Hall as David Fisher,
----------------------------

Time doesn’t help does it?
No.

------------------------------

Nate: “This is my... uh, my girlfriend, Brenda.”
Brenda: “I prefer the term ‘fuck puppet.’”

------------------------------

Brenda: “The future is just a fucking concept that we use to avoid living today.”

------------------------------

Ruth: “David, are you bringing a special friend to dinner?”
David: “Why are my friends always special?”
Ruth: “Okay, then, is the man you're having sex with coming to dinner?”

------------------------------

Nate: “I gotta go to work.”
(Bipolar) Billy: “Bring out your dead.”

-------------------------------
Last lines in the show, kinda meaning go out there and make the most of your life:
Ghost Nate to Clare as she starts to take a photo as she leaves home:

"You can't take a picture of this it's already gone."

(I have this tattooed around my right wrist).

Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,

(with slight irony here)

'Oh that this too, too solid flesh
would melt, thaw, and resolve itself into a dew.
Or that the Everlasting had not fixed his canon
'gainst self slaughter.
Oh God! God! How weary, stale, flat and unprofitable
seem to me all the uses of this world.
Tis an unweeded garden that grows to seed;
things rank and gross in nature possess it merely.'

Probably not the most appropriate quote for a forum such as this, but it's the only shakespeare i learnt off by heart at school.

“Be gentle to all, and stern with yourself.”
St Theresa of Avila

“To reach something good it is very useful to have gone astray, and thus acquire experience.”
St Theresa of Avila

No sig.

“I’d always heard your entire life flashes in front of your eyes the second before you die. First of all, that one second isn’t a second at all. It stretches on forever, like an ocean of time. For me, it was lying on my back at boy-scout camp, watching falling stars. And yellow leaves from the maple trees that lined our street. Or my grandmother’s hands, and the way her skin seemed like paper…
…And I can’t feel anything but gratitude, for every single moment, of my stupid, little life.”

~ Kevin Spacey, (playing Lester Burnham) in the 1999 Oscar winning film American Beauty. Written by Alan Ball. Directed by Sam Mendes.

From "Deadwood"

Al Swearengen (Ian McShane)
"Oh, don't tell me how to talk in my own fuckin' place! Now, here's my counter offer to your counter offer - go *fuck* yourself!"

"Pain or damage don't end the world. Or despair or fucking beatings. The world ends when you're dead. Until then, you got more punishment in store. Stand it like a man... and give some back."
