And now for something completely different...

Well, if you didn't get the title, tough luck! :)

Since I haven't had much to ponder over (apart from the ordinarily obviously banal, i mean), here's a random assortment of quotes from lesser known movies, lesser known characters, and lesser known actors. Either way, they are rather closer to yours truly than those oft quoted ones that are flashed around on all these great quotes websites.

When you're a little kid you're a bit of everything; Scientist, Philosopher, Artist. Sometimes it seems like growing up is giving these things up one at a time.
-narrator KEVIN ARNOLD (Fred Savage) - The Wonder Years

A man once told me that the only thing you really own is a piece of ground the size of your shoes.
-FRANKIE (Michael Wincott) - Gunshy

Feeling screwed up at a screwed up time in a screwed up place does not necessarily make you screwed up.
- MARK (Christian Slater) - Pump Up the Volume

I envy you. Convenient memory is a gift from God.
- MARIANNE (Dana Delaney) - Light Sleeper

Have you ever heard a joke so many times you’ve forgotten why it’s funny? And then you hear it again and suddenly it’s new. You remember why you loved it in the first place. That was my father’s final joke, I guess- a man tells his stories so many times, that he becomes the stories. They live on after him. And in that way, he becomes immortal.
- WILL BLOOM (Billy Crudup) - Big Fish

A man can spend his entire life thinking what all he should not have said.
- Unknown (unknown) - spotted somewhere on IMDb(?)

Love means never having to say you’re sorry.
- OLIVER BARRETT IV (Ryan O' Neal) - Love Story

Two little mice fell in a bucket of cream. The first mouse quickly gave up and drowned. The second mouse, wouldn't quit. He struggled so hard that eventually he churned that cream into butter and crawled out. Gentlemen, as of this moment, I am that second mouse.
- FRANK ABAGNALE SR. (Christopher Walken) - Catch Me If You Can

Where you go through life
So sure of where you’re headin'
And you wind up lost and it's
The best thing that could have happened
‘Cause sometimes when you lose your way it's just as well
Because you find yourself
Yeah that’s when you find yourself
- Brad Paisley (lyrics from the song 'Find Yourself) - CARS OST

(There's more to the lyrics, but I am not adding it right away :P )


Happy Diwali! (to anyone who cared to jog by)
