Pookie Posted March 9, 2013 Report Share Posted March 9, 2013 I do hope this is ok, to put here, but I figured a book forum is a great place to ask for quotes! We are getting married on 13th July and our table decorations are going to be piles of old books, wrapped with ribbon and a flower, with an old fashioned luggage tag with a quote on it. I have quotes from a Hunter-Killer assassin droid from a Star Wars game (HK-47), a quote from Skyrim, one from Gormenghast .... ...not sickly cutesy ones, gushing nonsense ones... That's not us. If anybody has anything neat to share (I'm still searching for an acceptable quote from the Songs of Fire and Ice books... but not an easy task) please share! I am not looking for bible quotes though, we have one, and that is all we would like, thank you respectfully. (1 Corinthians 13:4 but not the full verse) Any ideas?

Gainsdalf the Whey Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 “My brother has his sword, King Robert has his warhammer and I have my mind...and a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone if it is to keep its edge. That’s why I read so much Jon Snowâ€. †– Tyrion to Jon Snow Tyrion has a lot of good ones. I also like the one when he's talking to Jon about wearing what you are as armor so it can never be used to hurt you.

Nomad Jay Posted March 16, 2013 Report Share Posted March 16, 2013 "Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art.... It has no survival value; rather it is one of those things which give value to survival." - CS Lewis, The Four Loves "If you would improve, be content to be thought foolish and stupid." - Epictetus "You just gotta listen to your body, unless it's saying anything about stopping, pain, your joints, or needing water."

Ba'sini'on Posted March 28, 2013 Report Share Posted March 28, 2013 Unknown-You know when you've been married long enough when, your spouse farts in bed and then pull the covers over your head shouting, "DUTCH OVEN!!" For a more serious approach, "The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost"-G.K. Chesterton "Before marriage, a girl has to make love to a man to hold him. After marriage, she has to hold him to make love to him."-Marilyn Monroe "Marrying for love may be a bit risky, but it is so honest that God can't help but smile on it."-Josh Billings I'm looking for more but those are the one's off the top of my head that isn't sappy or fluff. Are you looking for more humor, serious, or heartfelt?

Pookie Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 More serious, thought provoking rather than funny/rude ones. Thank you for helping!

MissManticore Posted April 9, 2013 Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 XKCD one I've always liked, not a book exactly but it's still nice."You are not the light of my life. Making you happy is not my greatest dream. Your smile is not all I live for. I've got my own stuff going on. But you're strange and fascinating and I've never met anyone like you. I want to give you everything, just do see what you'd do with it." Link to comment
Pookie Posted April 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 9, 2013 Athena, some of those are brilliant! I hadn't heard most of them before which is wonderful, fresh ideas! I think the Librarian quote is getting in there, we both love The Discworld books (I finished Jingo today, I'm reading them in order, my fiancé introduced them to me) Getting an XKCD in there as well would be pretty neat.... we need a label for our custom bars of rock, that might be cool as well.
