Quote from: Pangaea on

No one ever gained recognition by following the crowd.

This one’s pretty straightforward, and like most of my quotes, it reflects a habit/belief/characteristic of mine. I’m positively phobic about doing what everyone else does for the sake of fitting in. I’m not what one would call a rebel (I still try to fit in to some extent, and my sense of morality obliges me to follow societal rules), but I am averse to conformity: when freedom is an option, I do things my own way. (One early memory I have of my non-conformist habits comes from 1st grade, in which the first class activity of the year was to draw a picture of an apple. Everyone was expected to draw a red apple, but back then, my favorite color was green, and I figured that since there was such a thing as green apples, there wasn’t anything wrong with making mine that color. -_-)

I experimented with a couple of variations on this quote, selecting what I felt to be the most appropriate one for my signature. Here are some rejected versions:

Quote

No one ever got anywhere by following the crowd.

I kind of preferred how this one sounded, but, literal-minded nutcase that I am,

I decided that, strictly speaking, it was inaccurate: people have gotten through life by being conformist; they just never made names for themselves doing so.

Quote

No one ever became famous by following the crowd.

I was quick to discard this version, because while technically true, I personally have little interest in fame (I like to be recognized, yes, but not to be the center of attention all of the time), and I wanted my signature quotes to reflect my own personality and philosophy.

Lol, trouser tightning sequence

*shifts eyes* You don't want to know about that one

Okay, it's from Yahtzee's review of the Batman: Arkham Asylum game where he mentions one section being a trouser tightning section

It's always nothing personal, but that's the worst part about it.

A world without evil is the worst thing imaginable, for without the contrasting darkness of evil there is no way to identify the light of good.

Here's a response to this quote from Avatar:

"It is hard to fill a cup that is already full."

"Not if you get a bigger cup!"

"The open-minded are not simply those with an inability to distinguish fact from fiction."
Something I often think when people call me "closed-minded" for refusing to seriously consider certain ideas.

"all the world will be your enemy, prince with 1000 enemies, and when they catch you they will kill you, but first they must catch you"

kind of shows my outlook that if you dont let people get to you, they can't harm you.

Another one of my more cynical quotes:

Expect the worst, and you’ll never be disappointed.

"The things you like to do, are the things you are great at."

I actually got this from an old german commercial and I like that quote a lot. ^_^

What commercial was that Sky? What was was the original wording?

I just came up with one that, considering the amount of reviewing I do on the GOF, might as well be my motto:

Quote

Giving compliments is easy; it's much harder to tell people what they're doing wrong in a helpful manner.

I figure this's the reason why, for every sentence I spend talking about what I like about someone's work, I usually write about a paragraph on what I think could use improvement.

I hate being teased, so I poke fun at myself before anyone else can.

Sad to say, most of the quotes I come up with aren't exactly uplifting. Here's one that represents one of my personal rules of thumb for avoiding awkward social situations:

Quote

Honesty is a good policy . . . but sharing all your thoughts at all times is a bad idea.

Here's another one that basically applies to anything I write, but particularly to writing assignments involving topics that I'm not very confident with:

Quote

When in doubt, set your standards for quality high and your expectations for feedback low.

Which image do you prefer? A flickering flame on a candle or a bowl of ice cream?

If you are a man:
Candle-You either embrace your manhood, or you LOVE the same gender in THAT way.

Ice Cream- You either embrace your feminine side or you are a ladies man.

If you are a woman:
Candle- You either embrace the masculine part of you or you a man's woman. ^^
Ice Cream-You embrace your feminine side or you are a woman's woman.
