What is you favorite quote?
Recently my Grandmother died. I was told by my a cousin that she was buried a few plots away from famous playwright August Wilson. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_Wilson On his grave stone it said "You are wherever you are, I'm here."
I thought it was a nice bit of humor and it instantly became one of my favorite quotes.
So now I ask you what are your favorite quotes. They can be from anywhere. Just tell us why you like it and what it means to you.
Oh I have another from my young cousin. After eating a good helping of spaggetti she said "My tummy is all squigly from all da esgetti."

I have a lot of favorites, but I think the one that comes to mind at the moment as being the most romantic was from a movie. The guy says to the girl "You are everything I never knew I always wanted."

Mine came from a bad relationship. We would fight all the time punch holes in the walls smash dishes evrything it was just a bad mix and very toxic. I will never forget what he said to me after a really really bad fight (I jumped out of a moving car to get away from him and ended up with 12 stiches in my arm) "when you don't know what to do don't do anything at all"
It makes sense it is when there is too much to do and it is too much people tend to make all the wrong choices. Hence jumping out of moving cars totally a bad idea.

Love begins with a smile, grows, with a kiss, & ends with a teardrop.
Its not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me.
Better never to have met you in my dreams than to wake & reach for hands that aren't there.
Don't let your nightmares crowd your dreams.
