The Official Quote Thread

[Scarlett O'Hara]

Got any quotes you absolutely love? I think each week I'm going to choose quote themes.

This week, it can be quotes about getting through hard times, beating the odds.

If you don't want to follow a theme that's fine, but it will make the thread more lively if it's not exhausted too quickly.

It can be from anything, book, movie, friend, family, celebrity, etc...

My quote:

"Sadness is a season, it will pass." - Power of One

I've got tons of them but here is one that keeps to the theme you have picked out this week.
“If we're ever gonna see a rainbow we have to stand a little rain (from the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Stand A Little Rain” lyrics by Don Schlitz, Donny Lowery)

[Spike*Spiegel]

"Only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity; and I'm not sure about the former."
Albert Einstein

[Sansa Stark]

"I don't care if people hate my guts; I assume most of them do. The important question is whether they are in a position to do anything about it."
- William S Burroughs

"You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you never had the courage to commit."
-Oscar Wilde in the Picture of Dorian Gray

I'll post a sonnet! I'm going above and beyond! I'm a big poetryface

"If this be love, to draw a weary breath,
To paint on floods till the shore cry to th'air;
With downward looks still reading on the earth.
These sad memorials of my love's despair;
If this be love, to war against my soul,
Lie down to wail, rise up to sigh and grieve,
The never-resting stone of care to roll,
Still to complain my griefs, whilst none relieve;
If this be love, to clothe me with dark thoughts,
Haunting untrodden paths to wail apart,
My pleasures horror, music tragic notes,
Tears in mine eyes and sorrow at my heart;
If this be love, to live a living death,
Then do I love, and draw this weary breath."

Samuel Daniel (1562-1619)

Ah yes, I'll post one as well:

Gloomy Sunday with a hundred white flowers
I was waiting for you my dearest with a prayer
A Sunday morning, chasing after my dreams
The carriage of my sorrow returned to me without you
It is since then that my Sundays have been forever sad
Tears my only drink, the sorrow my bread...

Gloomy Sunday

This last Sunday, my darling please come to me
There'll be a priest, a coffin, a catafalque and a winding-sheet
There'll be flowers for you, flowers and a coffin
Under the blossoming trees it will be my last journey
My eyes will be open, so that I could see you for a last time
Don't be afraid of my eyes, I'm blessing you even in my death...

The last Sunday
