"There goes the last DJ/Who plays what he wants to play/And says what he wants to say/...There goes your freedom of choice/There goes the last human voice/There goes the last DJ..."--Tom Petty
Rest in peace, my bulky sig. Great song, though, too bad it was banned from the radio. ~*~Orual~*~ |
"Not all who wander are lost."--JRR Tolkien
I live by that quote, but it was time for a change. |
Wow, not many people have posted here lately. I am now putting to rest the quote that I mentioned just a few replies ago:
"I'm against all 'it's me's'. It's so self-absorbed and egotistical, like those hip musicians with their complicated shoes." -George Costanza I now have another Seinfeld quote down there, from what my brother says is the funniest episode ever. He nicknamed it "Man-Hands". [ November 29, 2002: Message edited by: Nevfeniel ] |
Shortly before signatures longer than 2 lines were not allowed, I had added to more quotes to my sig to extend the meet & greet theme. So for a few days it looked like this:
Elen síla lúmenn’ omentielvo, a star shines on the hour of our meeting. "My mother told me to give a cheery greeting to everyone I meet. And to take a ring from a good lady if the occasion arose." - Parzival: The Quest of the Grail Knight retold by Katherine Paterson ZAPHOD: Oh God...Ford. This is Trillian, hi, Trillian, this is my semi-cousin Ford, who shares three of the same mothers as me, hi. Trillian, is this sort of thing going to happen every time we use the Infinite Improbability Drive? TRILLIAN: Very probably I'm afraid. ZAPHOD: Zaphod Beeblebrox, this is a very large drink. Hi. P.S. My avatar is Parzival/Parsifal/Peredur/Perceval in honour of Viggo Mortensen's publishing company. [ November 29, 2002: Message edited by: Lostgaeriel ] |
Ive changed mine about 3 times, but my favourite is;
Give a man a fire and he'll be warm for a day. Set a man on fire and he'll be warm for the rest of his life! from Jingo by Terry Pratchett. Im reading Romeo and Juliet at the moment, thus I have my current sig. |
I am changing from:
"Near and far, far and near. They are within sight of your lady's eyes, but almost out of reach of her memory. They are coming closer, and they are going away." "A cat can appreciate valiant absurdity." -- The Last Unicorn |
Here's some of mine:

Oh yeah, I suppose I can lay to rest my Thomas Mann quote here:
"For you know that we poets cannot walk the way of beauty without Eros as our companion and guide." It's self-explanatory, if you know me at all, and know who Eros is. This is the quote I use to justify almost all the "youthful indescretions" in the world. Try it on your mother next time you come home after dawn. |
your sigs are always so sad (and ven depressive sometimes), Squatter...

Squatter makes up for it by being a cutie.

How did you get that? I didn't post it. Clearly I'm being spied upon, and I'm most upset. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
This forum is themed around a graveyard. What else would my signatures be about but death? Actually I mainly choose them for their poetic qualities. Quote:

Heren is quoting the quote of the week off my homepage. [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img]
Anyway, back to business, eh? |
My first sig was from the Wizard of Oz:

Second sig, a quote by Faramir: Quote:
Quote:

I've now changed my "Smart is sexy!" to a little TTT-movie hysteria.. Jennifer Aniston's motto is returning when I've seen TTT I suppose..
|
I liked this quote, I didn't have it for long, maybe I'll change it back one day.

This one used to be mine as well:

Memory trolls for submerged words. Here are the two quotations I have used at the BarrowDowns:
I went looking for the garden of my mother and lo! I found my own. Never speak to women/Unless you speak of flowers illustrate your garden/and walk with them past fountains but never let them carry your secrets/they are lapses The first I found on a stone plague in a garden centre; the second is from Jane Urquhart, Some Other Garden.

I finally disposed of my Harry Potter quote
Quote:

I am changing from,
"Where are you?" he cried again, both angry and afraid. "Here!" said a voice, deep and cold, that seemed to come out of the ground. "I am waiting for you!" |

How long have you been using that one, Susan? Quote:

The more I looked at this sig, the more stupid it seemed, so I've decided to change it at last.
Quote:

I like your new one, Dragoneyes:

I can't seem to make up my mind when it comes to sigs. I always change mine. Aylwen |
This one lasted a long time. I was pleased that people enjoyed the link.
Darkling I listen; and, for many a time I have been half in love with easeful Death, Call'd him soft names in many a musèd rhyme, To take into the air my quiet breath; |
For a brief moment, this was mine:

bye for now:

This very short-lived sig was doomed to be brief, as I wrote it in a fey mood and was annoyed by it ever since:
Quote:
Rest In Peace. |
I have not had this quote long, but I love my new one!
Quote:
|
Both of those quotations are absolutely brilliant. I especially like Macchiavelli there. Most apposite for some threads.

this one lasted only for 2 weeks. Maybe it was too poetic for me [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] I'm going back to one before, now in English [ February 24, 2003: Message edited by: HerenIstarion ] |
Argh! Heren! The English translation of The Master and Margarita is not up to my standards at all. I resolve to translate and pubblish a new version sometime during my post-graduate work.

ты скажешь мне, что все это, -- тут первосвященник поднял обе руки, и темный капюшон свалился с головы Каифы, -- вызвал жалкий разбойник HerenIstarion? a-a-a-a... Единственно, что может спасти смертельно раненного [в сердце] H-I, -- проговорил HerenIstarion, -- это глоток бензина... and yes, I'm not that much of a cat, you know.... |
I here lay to rest my first ever sig on the Downs...

Here I lay to rest my most treasured sig quote:
1. "But this story [the gospel] is supreme; and it is true. Art has been verified. God is the Lord, of angels and of men, and of elves. Legend and History have met and fused." --J.R.R. Tolkien [On Fairy Stories] BTW: I might revive it someday... |
I am bidding a fond farewell to my writing quote in light of a more... optimistic signature.

RIP |
Ok, since I just recently changed my sig, I'm gonna put the old one here, too.
" We are not always what we seem and hardly ever what we dream." It was from the Last Unicorn, one of Schmendrick's lines, of course... [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img] |
