Quote a line from a song or a saying and the next person has a choice: 1. to continue with the next few words or with the next line, or 2. give the name of the author, band ,singer etc. who wrote, said or performed it (if it has any 😊 . Then give a new quote. 8) For example: 'It's been a hard day's night...' Answer 1.: 'and I have been working like a dog.' Answer 2.: The Beatles It may be working, isn't it? If there's no reply,the author can give a little help. The first quote is: 'He's a real Nowhere man..'
Quoting GAME!
sitting in his nowhere land
this is like the game Di Nero... I'll start that in another thread 😊
You didn't give a new quote, so I'll just continue with the old
...Making all his nowhere plans for nobody.
New:
Father McKenzie, writing the words...
...of a sermon that no-one will hear,no-one comes near. Next: Tiger!Tiger!burning bright/In the forests of the night,/What immortal hand or eye/...
... Could frame thy fearful symmetry?
In what distant deeps or skies
Burnt the fire of thine eyes?
Sure, I read William Blake every day (...not) 😃 Fine poem, I must say.
This is definitively more familiar:
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered, weak and weary...
...Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping, As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
The Raven by Mr Edgar Allan Poe
new quote......next sentence.....
The whirlwinds of revolt will continue to shake the foundations of our nation until the bright day of justice emerges.
This is just too easy in this internet era 😃
"...But there is something that I must say to my people who stand on the warm threshold which leads into the palace of justice. In the process of gaining our rightful place we must not be guilty of wrongful deeds. "
The famous I have a dream -speech.
Well how about: "We will not go quietly into the night! We will not vanish without a fight!" We're going to live on..."
C'mon guys, how hard can it be? 😃 It's from a movie, so it's not a 'real speech' quote ...
tsk tsk.....so easy:
We're going to survive! Today we celebrate our Independence Day!".
...from the the above movie!!
here mine......its abit easy.......
"Old Sparky his ownself, sitting up on a plank platform at the southeast corner of the store room, stout oak legs,......."
The President Whitmore speech in the movie The Independence day has always struck me as the mother of all pompous speeches 😃
This was easy as pie as well 😃
...broad oak arms that had absorbed the terrorized sweat of scores of men in the last few minutes of their lives, and the metal cap, usually hung jauntily on the back of the chair, like some robot kid's beanie in a Buck Rogers comic-strip.
The Green Mile by Stephen King - it's amazing how much literature there is on the web.
Next one is tough but if you know your latin...:
" Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat..."
Could you translate, please,it might help 😃 To tell the truth i haven't got the faintest idea. 😞 i'm not on the net, i can't even search for it :cry: But i like this game, bits from everywhere 😊 Go for it!
"...Duis autem vel eum iriure dolor in hendrerit in vulputate
velit esse molestie consequat, vel illum dolore eu
feugiat nulla facilisis."
you almost got me there, but i recognised the "Ut wisi enim ad minim " part from all the "Lorem ipsum" bodytext placeholder documents i've handled in my work.
That was a good one, but dont ask me what that s**t means, and who wrote it!!!
heres one......
"Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when......."
The latin phrase I gave translates to "To take a trivial example, which of us ever undertakes laborious physical exercise, except to obtain some advantage from it?" 😉 The text itself is from a speech by Cicero at 45 BC and widely used today in all web desing. I only discovered recently myself that it's no nonsense babble but real latin script. Read all about it in http://www.loremipsum.net/
Orophin's quote is by Albert Einstein: "...when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices but honestly and courageously uses his intelligence."
My next one is real literary quote:
"When I look back on my childhood I wonder how I survived at all. It was, of course, a miserable childhood: the happy childhood is hardly worth your while...."
That has to be either Michael Jackson or...ummm...err...ehem....me?!
Next quote:
"We drank and then he insisted on playing cards. With our species on the edge of extermination and no prospect but a horrible death we actually played games"
"Later, he talked more of his plan, but I saw flames flashing in the deep blue night. Red Weed glowing, tripod figures moving distantly - and I put down my champagne glass. I felt a traitor to my kind and I knew I must leave this strange dreamer."
One of my favourite things of all time! War of the Worlds. Still sends shivers down my spine...
"Since the invention of the kiss, there have been five kisses that were rated the most passionate, the most pure. This one left them all behind. The end"
That's kind of an unfair quote since what can there be after 'the end'? Anyway, I believe you mean William Goldman's novel The Princess Bride or the movie made thereof. Haven't seen it or read it but it does seem to have an interesting story line 😉
Next: "They were each assigned very hazardous duties. "
(I'm not sure in fact if this line is included in the newer version of... well... it, but it was a classic earlier)
it is from the Princess Bride - but where it says the end isn't the end of the film, so there is dialogue after that line - the film is Peter Falk reading Fred Savage the book of the Princess Bride, so there's a few lines after he actually finishes the book. You should watch it, it's a wonderful film.
Anyway, your quote... Charlie's Angels! Ewan has hair like them sometimes on his more fluffy days 😉
"but I took them away from all that and now they work for me. My name is Charlie."
next quote: "Impetuous boy!"
Could be from a lot of places I guess. But you might mean the quote of Vultan in a Flash Gordon -movie (Remember the Queen title melody?).
It continues "...Oh, well. Who wants to live forever?" Flash apparently is rushing into a battle to save the earth 😃
The next is somewhat more seriousminded:
"Whatever in connection with my professional practice or not in connection with it I see or hear, in the life of men, which..."
When Ewan and I got married, I walked up the aisle to the Wedding March from Flash Gordon 😃
anyway, your quote is from the Hippocratic Oath and continues:
"...ought not to be spoken of abroad, I will not divulge, as reckoning that all such should be kept secret."
"Morals are a choice and he'll decide his own when he's good and ready"
Hey this is difficult. I've done several searches and all I come up with are lines line:
"� But he has a good job, morals, great values, a wonderful mother � a man that wants YOU as his first choice, � was having a beer with the fellas � " 😃
You mean I have to start thinking? That googling isn't enough? 😃
heh! it's from Priscilla Queen of the Desert and the line continues "don't bitch to me, bitch to him" :P
your turn!
Not too serious,let's stand here word by word: 'Speak you Clear and Nasal, for distance. 'Ron cordially begs to inform Mam all is forgiven.' Many peoble express great height with the word Mam. Sing you with long voice.For discharge Deep breathing is Nescafe for a dark voice,deep breeding and in haley is very impotent for broadcastle and outlying ariels..'. A little long, but not too difficult if you recognize the style 😊
LOL
... visibility nil in Rockall and Fredastaire? Practice daily but not if you're debb and duff.
For sample, the word frenetically wrote, must be charged grammactically with bowel pronounced strangely.
eg. 'While talking on you my Ivans are getting cold, and you know, as well as I do, that we must strive
the Ivan while it is hat.' Regarth in Oxfam they speak 'Aivan' but in Caimbilge 'Oivan' - the bowel thus strethed pronunced - piglo.
Practice davy but nor if your Mutt and Jeff.
John Lennon's In His Own Write, published in 1964 😃
Wish I'd know what it all means 😃
Oops, almost forgot to include a new quote. This is shorter:
"When nine hundred years old you reach.."

Who Said:- "I'm going to the backseat of my car with the woman I love, and I won't be back for TEN MINUTES...."
