  1. Alright well i was thinking about some quotes earlier and i realized how interesting they can be sometimes. :smoking: And i thought a thread about sharing quotes would be kinda fun.

    So here we go, basically post any quotes you've heard, appreciate, made up, hate or think should gain popularity.
    Also if you would like you can share what you feel or ponder about when you read/hear the quote(s) you chose.

    Ill start it off with two i like:
    "When you are in love you can't fall asleep, because reality is better than your dreams."

    "A drunken mind speaks the sober heart."

    The first quote always makes me happy and sad at the same time because it reminds me of an old relationship.
    The second quote never fails to remind me of hilarious drunk texts for some reason.

    But anyways, your turn. ;)
     
  2. i'll post the quote i have tattooed on my back!

    when the power of love overcomes the love of power, the world will know peace.
     
  3. "face down, ass up, thats the way we like to fuck."
     
  4. Great idea for a tattoo, i like that a lot. nice quote!
     
  5. i have a lot of quotes im planning to get tatted on me, but i just gotta get a bit more cash first ;)

    here's the ones that come to my mind at the moment:

    "Do what you like, and do it honesty"

    "Now you will receive us! we do not ask for your poor and your hungry. we do not ask for your tired and your sick. It is your corrupt that we claim. It is your evil that will be shot by us. With every breath we shall hunt them down. Each day we will spill their blood, till it rains down from the skies!"

    "There are those who do what they're told, and then there are those who stay truth to themselves"
     
  6. "Fortes fortuna adiuvat."
    Fortune favors the brave.
