What quote from a person, movie or book stuck with you for a long time.

Here is mine.

"Oh, you should see the Coliseum Spaniard. Fifty thousand Romans watching every movement of your sword. Willing you to make that killer blow. The silence before you strike and the noise afterwards. It rises, rises like... like storm. As if you were the thunder God himself. "

Can anyone guess where the quotes from? Hint: Originally spoken by Oliver Reed.

No Clue but this is my favorite or at least one of them

"If at first you don't succeed... sky diving isn't for you"

Gladiator.

I was thinking that one quote that I always liked was "What we do in life, echoes in eternity"... also from Gladiator (I love that movie)

I also like that sky diving quote

In fact, there are a lot of quotes I love.

I have the daily quote on my homepage, and one I recall loving was "I have lost friends, some by death... others through sheer inability to cross the street." by Virginia Woolf. I'm not a fan, but I like the quote

When I go to a web site, I WANT TO READ THE CONTENT. Trust me, that micro-font everyone uses isn't nearly as original as they think. I've chosen a black background for most of my text because it's easier on the eyes than staring at a white screen. Think about it: your monitor is not a piece of paper, no matter how hard you try to make it one. Staring at a white background while you read is like staring at a light bulb (don't believe me? Try turning off the lights next time you use word processor). Would you stare at a light bulb for hours at a time? Not if you want to keep your vision.

Makes me laugh.
