- Six feet now suffices for the man for whom once the world was not enough (Attributed to Alexander's epitaph)
- Just because you don't understand Japanese doesn't mean Japan doesnt exist (I said it- maybe one day someone will make it famous)
- Dont quit - Just because you hiccupped does'nt mean you need to stop breathing. (Only i could make such a statement)
- "Beniyaazii had se guzarii bandaa paravar kab talak;
Hum kahenge haal-e-dil aur aap farmaayenge kyaa???" (Ghalib) - "The mind has a thousand eyes, And the heart but one:
Yet the light of a whole life dies When love is done." (excerpted from Francis William Bourdillon) - "Funeral Blues " by WH Auden - Loved this poem which was made popular also thru 4Weddings and a funeral. My fave. excerpt:
"He was my North, my South, my East and West,
My working week and my Sunday rest,
My noon, my midnight, my talk, my song;
I thought that love would last forever: I was wrong" - "They also serve those who stand and wait" (Milton of course...or was it Keats)
- All of the walrus and the carpenter
- Arthur O'Shaughnessy's "We are the music makers"
"We are the music-makers, And we are the dreamers of dreams,
Wandering by lone sea-breakers, And sitting by desolate streams;
World-losers and world-forsakers, On whom the pale moon gleams:
Yet we are the movers and shakers Of the world for ever, it seems " - "I Think i saw a putty catth...I deeeeed ... I deeeed" (Tuffy in Tom&Jerry)
And suggeted by KP ... In memorium of pirates of the carribean, circa 2006
- "Fifteen men on a dead man's chest... Yo ho ho and a bottle of rum
Drink and the devil have done for the rest...yo ho ho and a bottle of rum"
:)
