Quotes and Sayings....

I love famous quotes from movies and poets and here are some that I found quite profound and inspirational which is often needed some days.

From the Movie: Notes on a Scandal - starring Judie Dench

Barbara Covett: People anguish for years with partners who are clearly from another planet. We want so much to believe that we've found our other. It takes courage to recognize the real as opposed to the convenient.

'Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?''That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,' said the Cat.'I don't much care where --' said Alice.'Then it doesn't matter which way you go,' said the Cat.'--so long as I get somewhere,' Alice added as an explanation.
Lewis Carroll, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

An eye for eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
M.K. Gandhi

Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.
Dr. Napoleon Hill

Love doesn't make the world go round. Love is what makes the ride worthwhile.
Franklin P. Jones

They do not love that do not show their love. The course of true love never did run smooth. Love is a familiar. Love is a devil. There is no evil angel but Love.
William Shakespeare

"In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice. But in practice, there is."
- Yogi Berra

"Do, or do not. There is no 'try'."
- Yoda ('The Empire Strikes Back')

"If you can't get rid of the skeleton in your closet, you'd best teach it to dance."

“Some women can't say the word lesbian... even when their mouth is full of one.”
Kate Clinton quotes

I became a lesbian because of women, because women are beautiful, strong, and compassionate. Rita Mae Brown quotes (American Writer, b.1944)

These are wonderful quotes. I saw Judith Dench in Scandal just last evening. What a powerful movie that was! I love everything she has done.

I also like the quote by Shakespeare and Yogi Bear...

Oops I am laughing at myself. I read Yogi Berra, and really meant the one by Yoda! OH well. ;-)
