We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking up at the stars-Wilde. (We had an English teacher at High School who loved Oscar Wilde, and apart from his plays, she used to give us some of his quotes.) Can't remember them off hand but have to get them.
John Coffey pulls my heart strings. Love that character.

this is not a famous quote internationally, but this quote and the author of this book is so famous in my country, i really want to share this to everyone (mind the grammar error because this quote was originally written in my native language) :
"I learned that there are free lectures in the world, you are the who will make the syllabus. There are lots of teacher outside the school, it's your decision where to go to learn. All of us are enrolled in the University. There are many difficult subjects, but because it is free, you are the one ended up a loser when you dropped it out. We are graduating one by one, in different ways. Only the diploma is the memory of love and generosity of what you leave in the world that we tried to change sometime"
-Bob Ong (original title : ABNKKBSNPLAko?! (Aba Nakakabasa na pala ako?!), English Title Translation : Oh, I can read already?!)

Muhammad Ali: I ain't draft dodging. I ain't burning no flag. I ain't running to Canada. I'm staying right here. You want to send me to jail? Fine, you go right ahead. I've been in jail for 400 years. I could be there for 4 or 5 more, but I ain't going no 10,000 miles to help murder and kill other poor people. If I want to die, I'll die right here, right now, fightin' you, if I want to die. You my enemy, not no Chinese, no Vietcong, no Japanese. You my opposer when I want freedom. You my opposer when I want justice. You my opposer when I want equality. Want me to go somewhere and fight for you? You won't even stand up for me right here in America, for my rights and my religious beliefs. You won't even stand up for my right here at home.
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement; and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly."
~Theodore Roosevelt

"when you still have
something on the ball,
but you are just too tired to bounce it."

Bob Ong is my favorite Local Writer in my country, because his non fiction(story of his life and some opinions) were simply amazing with a touch of his humorous Attitude (70% of his books contains funny scenes and jokes), i first discover King because of his recommendation for King's book "On Writing" for writing tips in his 5th book, Stainless Longganisa
BRUTUS: O, that a man might know the end of this day's business ere it come! But it sufficeth that the day will end, and the end is known.
