In Memoriam - Quote Graveyard

[Nuranar]

I liked The Pirates of Penzance quote, and it's still so fun to sing, especially with three brothers to join in (bass, baritone, and tenor-rapidly-deepening-to-bass, respectively).

For I am a Pirate King! And it is, it is a glorious thing To be a Pirate King!
For I am a Pirate King! Hurrah for the Pirate King, hurrah, for the Piraaaaaaate King!

We can make an awful lot of noise, especially with a rousing song like that. [img]smilies/cool.gif[/img]

But I get tired of too much silliness, at least when it's the same in my profile for too long, and especially when I've got something better. My next is from "The Battle of the Pelennor Fields," one of the most lyrical prose passages I've ever seen, and which last entranced me in the Kiev, Ukraine, metro. It takes something awesome to distract one from swaying and jerking in a subway. [img]smilies/smile.gif[/img]
