Hehe, well then you must be a master of making up quotes. I'm going to aspire to be like that. I want to be worthy of quotes. ^^
Wheee! I love that quote too! Maybe we can actually add it to the description of the Slytherin Common Room board. *needs to find a Slythie HoH to ask*

Hide your dagger behind your smile Some are your enemy, some are your friend, all are expendable, when it comes to the end.Walk like a lamb, strike like a cobra.Just a few off the top of my head. Not great, but fun to write

Oh my, you are brilliant, Di!
Here are more:
"Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the stars." -Les Brown
((Thought these last two were funny...))
"The basis of optimism is sheer terror." -Oscar Wilde
"He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife." -Douglas Adams

Oh, that one was BRILLIANT. I laughed and laughed over that.
EDIT: Here's my latest...

Oh I just crack myself up sometimes.
I may have to add that to my signature.

That reminds me of Emily. that creepy girl at Hot Topic stores. Oh hey I got another one! "Sticks and stones will bruise my bones but yours will break and shatter." Ooo creepy. I think I thought of that one, but someone might have thought of it, put it on a shirt and that's where I got it but I can never remember

Sorry Di, I had to modify and delete things because I don't want to start with spam.
Oh yeah here is a quote:
"God saves no one." ~ Genjou Sanzo Houshi (Gensomaden Saiyuki)
Oh willow! Blue Monday was originally done by New Order, Orgy just redid it.

Likewise, Di! Remarkably cute also...
"Truly great madness cannot be achieved without significant intelligence." --Henrik Tikkanen
"Good name in man and woman, dear my lord, Is the immediate jewel of their souls: Who steals my purse steals trash; 'tis something, nothing; 'Twas mine, 'tis his, and has been slave to thousands; But he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that which not enriches him And makes me poor indeed." --William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "Othello", Act 3 scene 3
-Blinks- Is that so, Chris? I'll have to look them up then.

Hehehe *claps lamely* So many lovely quotes!! Di, you're a master quote writer! Seriously, that's what my life aim is going to be from now on; at the moment, the best I can call myself is an avid collector.
Oh Chris!! I have a favour to ask you, seeing how you know such a powerful position. Do you think we can add a quote to our Common Room description? I posted it earlier in this thread: "Hell is empty and all the devils are here." Should we have a vote first??

"The best way to keep one's word is not to give it." -- Napolean I
"Success on someone else's terms don't mean a f***ing thing." -- Old 97's Over the cliff
On the lines of the Shakespeare quotes...all of Richard III, Act 1, scene 2 (I think) where Richard has killed a woman's father and husband and still convinces her to marry him.
(Willow -- Not only is Blue Monday a cover, but Sympathy for the Devil is as well. Originally done by the Rolling Stones on 1968's Beggars Banquet. It's a great album. And the original is infinately better than the GNR remake.)

Hey, Chris, thanks for saving my butt from spam! And as to a vote...do you really think we need one? The "hell's empty" quote is so darned perfect. If we're voting, I definitely vote for that.
And for my latest quote to keep you all grinning:
They say there's no rest for the wicked. No wonder I'm so damned tired.
oh, and here's another...
If you think the pen is mightier than the sword, I'd like to challenge you to a duel.
Here are two from OTHER authors...
First Shakespeare:
By the pricking of my thumbs, Something wicked this way comes. Open, locks, Whoever knocks! William Shakespeare (1564 - 1616), "Macbeth", Act 4 scene 1
And now Woody Allen - This is a Slytherin quote if I've ever read one...
The wicked at heart probably know something. Woody Allen (1935 - ), "Without Feathers"

Yes, yes, I found out just a while ago about that, Jack. And now I feel incredibly young... and unknowledgeable... Thank you.
There are lies, there are damn lies, and then there are statistics. --Mark Twain
The stupid neither forgive nor forget; the naive forgive and forget; the wise forgive but do not forget. --Thomas Szasz
The world's as ugly as sin, and almost as delightful --Frederick Locker-Lampson
It is said that power corrupts, but actually it's more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power. --David Brin
((Now what does that tell us, my friends?))
Oh! -raises hand for the "hell is empty" quote-

That tells me that either I'm insane or corruptible...
