One liners - Quotes etc.

I love these little things, and like to hear other peoples favorites.

Yesterday I heard this one - before I give it to you I should explain what I am talking about. Simple little one line throw away lines that actually make you think, smile, feel sad etc.

here is the one from yesterday -

and one of my other favorites is

At this very second, I am older than I've ever been.

Life should NOT be a trip to the grave with the goal to reach there in an attractive and well-preserved body, it's more like sliding in from the side with a chocolate in one hand, a bottle of wine in the other, the body totally wrecked, totally exhausted and screaming "Weeee haaaa! What a ride!"

A man has to do what a man has to do. A woman has do do what he can't do.

A variation on this:

People who do not make mistakes rarely make anything.

Another of my favorites:

Said by a lot of my male friends in response to me/some other girl going "But why didn't you tell me?!"

"Men are either married, taken or gay..."
I keep saying this one a lot...
