Quotation, n: The act of repeating erroneously the words of another.

[herzverstreut_bu]

Snagged from sorchasilver, because I was looking up quotations anyway - Go here. Keep refreshing until you've collected five quotes that really resonate with you, then post 'em to your journal.

"My theory is that if you look confident you can pull off anything - even if you have no clue what you're doing."
(Jessica Alba)

"Keep your fears to yourself, but share your courage with others."
(Robert Louis Stevenson)

"And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom."
(Anaïs Nin)

"Trust yourself. Think for yourself. Act for yourself. Speak for yourself. Be yourself. Imitation is suicide."
(Marva Collins)

"When I do good, I feel good; when I do bad, I feel bad, and that is my religion."

I... have a draft that I keep of quotes, I'm going through it now for any quotes that might apply, but I think many of these are kind of a stretch or not really what you're looking for, so feel free to ignore. :P

Salt Lake City, UT Mayor Rocky Anderson said that

"The Alliance Defense Fund should not be called Christian. I don't
see much Christian about discriminating against people on the basis of
sexual orientation. I don't think they should smear Christianity by
the use of that name."

in remarks to the Salt Lake Tribune.

"Pope John Paul today confirmed his opposition to gay marriages. Said that they are unnatural. Gay marriages are unnatural. Then he put on a pointy hat, his dress, and returned to never having sex at all."
-Bill Maher, Politically Incorrect
~*~*~*~*
Many people, meeting Aziraphale for the first time, formed three impressions: that he was English, that he was intelligent, and that he was gayer than a tree full of monkeys on nitrous oxide.
-Good Omens

"You've just witnessed an example of what I like to call misdirected rage. I believe the technical term is 'being an ass'."
–Shigure Sohma, Fruits Basket Vol. 1 (ok, not really applicable, I just like that quote :P)

Huh, I thought I had more than that...

A good place for gay Pride quotes is always Harvey Feirstein. You can start here.

Also here and here.

More, because this is fun.

Jon Stewart:
What is the fear of the "gay agenda" that has so upset people? Do people think that if gay people are given a place at the table, they'll be so convincing we'll all end up blowing them? What is the issue? "You know, I'm straight, but you've made such a convincing argument..."
* Stand-up performance at RIT, 2005.

Divorce isn't caused because 50% of marriages end in gayness.

You just have to keep trying to do good work, and hope that it leads to more good work. I want to look back on my career and be proud of the work, and be proud that I tried everything.
o Orange County Register, July 9, 1999

Love what you do. Get good at it. Competence is a rare commodity in this day and age. And let the chips fall where they may.
o The College of William and Mary Commencement Address, May 20, 2004

Oh, and there's this and this and this(let me know if you want help hunting down dates etc.)

Do you want some literary/drama/movie quotes of just real people?

Also, you should definitely download this. (I've posted it before, it's about removing homosexuality from the mental illness manual in the USA)

Sorry for the mass type emailing thing but I want to get this to as many of you as possible. I went back a few entries to it's less likely that charmax will actually see this.

I'm putting together, in conjunction with ch_wg, a prezzie for charmax's wedding. I'm putting together a goofy dance video for part of the present and I wanted to use pictures from her friends saying congrats. How much you're actually in the picture is up to you. I know some of you are fiercely private so you don't have to be in the picture yourself. Take a picture of your dog with a sign in front of him that says "Congrats from (your username)" or what have you. Just so long as it says who it's from so that she'll know who's sending the love I don't care what you put on it. If you want to photoshop something feel free to do so. PLEASE make sure your image is horizontal. I can play with it so far as sizing but horizontal will definitely help me with sticking it in the video.

REMEMBER... this is a secret so no snitching. If you want to post something like this on your journal (with charmax filtered, of course) that would be great.

I need the picture(s) by this Sunday October 12th. Email your pictures to countessmary@gmail.com

Thanks,

Mary
