Quote of the moment - Submit them here!

[Rolo]

Okies, so, on the new skin, we're going to have a brand new feature called 'Quote of the Moment'! Using a special code, we have the ability to preprogramme the skin with quotes, and a random quote will be selected with each refresh! This is a brilliant feature which means that your writing or witticism will be displayed for all the world to see, with a link to the post/content from which the quote derived.

And ya know what? We need your help to identify those amazing quotes that deserve to be displayed on the front page of the site :3 You're allowed to submit AS MANY QUOTES AS YOU LIKE. These can be quotes from anything IC (posts, bios, fanfics), and funny quotes from members in OOC. You can submit as many as you like! You could even just link us to the post which you think is so quotable and we'll come up with one for you. Of course, not every quote will be chosen, but it's definitely worth a shot.

Of course, we'd prefer it if you'd submit quotes from other people (as a sign of recognition of their work), but it's ok to submit your own AS LONG AS you submit one quote by someone else each time.

This will be an ongoing thing, so remember to keep submitting quotes as they come up. We'll notify you if they made them in. PLEASE LINK TO THE POST THE QUOTE CAME FROM!

We need at least 7 for the new skin, and I have 1 already. So get to submitting

Thanks in advance

"When I wake up in the morning, I piss excellence." - Raimi [v1 cbox shenanigans]

"Because all things had a soul. Because all things had worth. Volepelt was trying to take the worth away from those who were different. But he couldn't do that. no matter how right he thought it was, he couldn't take someone's worth. He couldn't take someone's soul. And it was not his place to condemn. He might have very well been the assistant to a cat who could have been StarClan's messenger, but that did not make him the world's judge and jury." - Poppythroat (Pyro) [from NUVOLE BIANCHE]

"He did not turn around to face the star, for he knew if he did he would be tempted to let the cold rule his life again. He must be powerful enough to resurrect the past. But experience told him otherwise. His memories were protected by a film, almost like ice, that was so very very thin but oh so cold, and if he pressed himself up against it for too long in an attempt to melt the barrier it would just freeze him instead." - Rainpaw (meeee) [from LOOKING FOR LOVE IN A DROP OF RAIN]

"She couldn't win. This was a losing battle and it had been since she had foolishly taken him in as her apprentice, in the hopes to push him away. The irony of the situation mocked her. She had sought to chase him out, and only brought him closer than any other cat, into the depths of the twisted tunnels of her heart." - Gingerstar (Whiskers) [from LOOKING FOR LOVE IN A DROP OF RAIN]

Too many good quotes in this fic for me to pick one myself.

[Rolo]

The quote I'll be putting up for that fic later:

O'child of Winter,
stubborn like thick ice,
blizzard in your soul,
numb the heart's pain,
cold hands taking hold of me,
their eyes frozen shut
fly away with snow angels
-
I'm a soldier, wounded so I must give up... the fight
There's nothing more... for me.
Lead me away.


Oh and I'll be putting all of those up They're very nice :3

""But I find it's the greatest tragedy of all, being beautiful, surrounded by this beautiful world and not having the ability to realize it. Ignorance is bliss, but it's empty bliss..."It's nothing to envy.""-Finchpaw (Whiskers) Count your blessings

Always liked this line.

[nightfall]

I can't believe we haven't looked at this as a quote.

Cloudieee. You will always be known for thisss.

I think we should just take the "if I poo without warning" part, and not the entire line. :3

How about: 'If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, what do you see when you look in the mirror?'

Ooc: this is a little short, but this is my favorite quote
'Tis better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all-Alfred Lord Tennyson

[Whiskers [Archive]]

LOOK. Whiskers has stalked the threads and compiled a list of quotes. For now of course. I still have so much to REAAD:

Ignition point:
She shifted her attention to Cedarstar, meeting his eyes, despite the burning in her own. "Remember why you named me what you did. I might like a laugh now and again, but I can be trusted."--Hawkheart of Meadowclan (Glowy)

The world was burning, and the burning grew ever closer, driven by wind and given life by the dry, crackling grass that lived in waves. The world was burning. If she was going to go to StarClan this night, she would go up in glory, spreading fire across the sky as a comet! She would not flee. Not until her clanmates had left. Not even if Cedarstar ordered her to.--Hawkheart of Meadowclan (Glowy)

The cause of the fire was never known to those whose lives it irrevocably changed. It simply appeared, blazing, right near the home of MeadowClan and quickly made its way toward it in the fading light. -- Cedarstar (Cloudie) [Can I just say that I adore this? Like. What a perfect way to start this thread, as though this event will go down in history already. It's so weighty and powerful. KUDOS TO CLOUD]

"Lichenheart, get your insane ass over here now. We are about to be the most daring and most badass elders this clan has ever seen."

Without waiting for an answer, she turned and limped out of the den into the smoke."--Rhea of Meadowclan (Nightfall) [UGH I JUST WANT HER TO BE MY GRANDMA]

The Fault in Our Stars:
"There is no progress without pain. Pain to draw out imperfection. Imperfection to be cleansed. Cleansing to purity. Purity to holiness."--Birchtail (Cloudie)

"Hope is one of the only things we have, I suppose." the queen said with a small laugh. "That and our kits to think of.--Fawnstep (Pyro)

Hazy without the Mist (WHAT IS THIS RP. I DON'T KNOW):
She was humiliated. Humiliated. To have been reduced to nothing more than a means to an end. No longer the teacher, only the producer of those others would teach. --Reedfoot (Pyro)

Suddenly, with a compulsion as strong as any natural urge, Volepelt wished desperately that she could do the same for him. That she could inflict a wound upon him which stung and made his blood run freely, bringing with it the reality he'd always known. To control him, tell him what to do. But that was impossible now. He was leader, he was the one in control.--Volepelt (Rolo)

When your heart has expired (because I'm selfish and this is a beautiful thread ;-;):
"What are my looks and my health when I have my soul and beliefs?"--Frostpaw (Rolo)

"I give my life for the rebels of this clan. I have dedicated myself to that. I give my body, my will and my everything for the sake of getting my view across and fighting for their benefit. I gave away all my damn pride in the process. And I do a damn lot more than anyone else, including you, for this damn clan. And I do it without any obligation. I don't have to do anything. In fact, its stupid that I am at all. I should have left this clan, and all these lunatics and rebels who question my every action, long ago. I don't have to fix anything. I've never had to do anything, Finchpaw. I am not some 'chosen one', with infinite power and wisdom, sent to save this clan from mousebrained idiocy. I'm just a cat, playing a part she's chosen and gaining nothing for herself in the process."--Frostpaw (Rolo) [GOD FROSTPAW IS SODFKSAFLKdf. ]

I remember, you know. The first time I met you. I think about it a lot actually...how we just stumbled into each other, how I fumbled with my herbs--and we talked for such a long time," Finchpaw smiled. "No one had ever talked to me for so long. And you seemed so alive to me, Frostpaw. You were full of joy, no matter what my father did. And that spark--you have this spark--it grew when he found us, because you just knew you were going to beat him in the end. I don't want to see you lose that. And maybe back then, the spark was so strong because it was all you had, but now you have--for whatever it's worth, you have me too. You have me, Frostpaw, and I'm not going to let anyone change you including myself, and I'm going to help you see that you are going to beat them in the end. With or without my help, you're going to win."--Finchpaw (Whiskers)

Collaboration of Chaos (Because this ENTIRE THREAD IS PRECIOUS. I think Junco and Crow should probably be in love forever. kthanksbye):
"You're not going to like every lesson you have to learn in your life, Juncopaw. But you've got to hold your head high and learn them anyway, no matter what they do to your dignity. Heck, some cats ought to learn to be less dignified. I could name a few FogClanners. So having your dignity bruised isn't so bad." -Crowflower (Glowy)

"Look, buster, I know damn well I can be oversensitive and silly, but don't even think you know squat about learning lessons. What challenges have you had, pray tell? Yeah, your mentor abandoned you, sad, but you're not exactly floundering, eh? When's the last time YOU had to stay out in the raw elements to make sure the Clan was safe or to feed it? Or adapt to a completely new lifestyle? Yeah, didn't think so."--Juncopaw (Cloudie)

He could fix her. He could make her stop feeling small and pathetic. Perhaps he wouldn't be able to drive away all the pain, but that rarely happened when dealing with injuries of any type, even with poppy seeds. Poppies were so beautiful, tall and bright and wonderful, entirely unashamed of what they were. She could be like that one day.--Crowflower (Glowy)

Stars in the sky, he needed Juncopaw. He needed her desperately. Only she stayed around after getting what she needed from him. That darkness? The cold? It started disappearing when she was around, though she probably couldn't even see it. Because she chose to keep his company, his world got better and brighter. Couldn't she see? Probably not. Because he had no words for anything that important. He could help others, but not himself, it seemed.--Crowflower (Glowy) [crow omg you're in love with her. wow this is the best thread ever. supporting this pairing forever and a day]

Culminations:
"I'll be damned if I ever sink that low, Princess." His voice softened now, became more gentle. "I can and I do love you. Have you ever had any real reason to doubt it? Come on, what more can I do? What more have I left to prove? This ain't just a story."--Rainpaw (Glowy)

[raimi]

We need more Raimi.

"Raimi loves Slug and Glowy"

...54 translations later we get:

"Call reymar Aluminum"


CAN YOU SMELL WHAT THE CROW IS BANNIN?

And some non-Raimi
"If I poo without warning, I'm doing the recyclables and I probably wont come back." - Cloudie

[waspwhisker]

"I hate it when they use the whole, 'It builds character' excuse. Nope, all it builds up on is the need for me to beat that character with a flamethrower."
~ Wasp on Apprenticeship disobedience

[Glowy]

"There's no better way to kill the mood of a film than to have the subtitles say 'Poignant Sentimental Music' at key moments." - Rolo [cbox]

"Mother was never too open on the subject of his father's disappearance. More than willing to tell him how great Parson was, how strong, but ask that forbidden question, 'if he was so great, then why did he leave us', and it was upstairs and lights out. Everett was too old now for lights out. But too young to see his mother's mangled body. Chest slashed, throat blown out. No one was ever old enough to see that." - Pyro [sagacity]

[Glowy]

"Her brows knit together as she struggled with all the conflicting ideals that had been beaten into her. Hope was the most important thing ever, hope was worthless; hope in yourself, hope in me, hope in StarClan; everybody deserves a second chance, everybody must be punished; nobody is worthless, sinners are worthless; you are important to me, you are important to the clan above all else; your only duty is to yourself, your duty it to your clan; you don't need to repent, repent and be saved! Which voice told the truth? The dichotomy of philosophies that she had been taught constantly waged war against each other upon the tender territory of her mind." - Dovepaw (Glowy) [from THE STARS GIVE ME LITTLE COMFORT]

"... happiness is a flower. It needs time and love to grow." - Crowpaw (Pyro) [from LOOKING THROUGH THE GLASS]
