This is from a book called Robots Will Steal Your Job! But That's OK, How To Survive The Economic Collapse And Be Happy written by Federico Pistono

 

"This is one of many unspoken tragedies of the so-called modern culture. The idea that the greatest aspiration a person could have is to work some mechanical and monotonous job, so that they can pay the bills, is an insult to the dignity of every individual. Each human being, from the moment they are born, is an invaluable masterpiece, capable of greatness beyond what we can conceive today. To even consider the proposition that we should hang on to an economic system that hinders innovation and automation, in order to preserve repetitious and mindless jobs, shows the deep loss of perspective and aptitude of our out-dated institutions."

"She is your FRIED" - Oh god this made me laugh :3
 
My actual favourite quotes though come from Before I Die, a book by Jenny Downham.
 
“All I know is that I have two choices – stay wrapped in blankets and get on with dying, or get the list back together and get on with living.” - I just love this quote. Reminds me that we shouldn't just sit around feeling upset or letting everything get to us. Just get up, move on and stay happy.

Mac MacGuff: Look, in my opinion, the best thing you can do is find a person who loves you for exactly what you are. Good mood, bad mood, ugly, pretty, handsome, what have you, the right person is still going to think the sun shines out your ass. That's the kind of person that's worth sticking with. 

[Ragland Tiger 3,406]

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that.  Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

"Whoever appeals against the law of his fellow man is either a fool or a coward. Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both. For a wounded man shall say to his assailant, 'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, you are forgiven'. Such is the rule of honour."

[Feather Spiral 1,892]

Been playing Okami after a long while, and I just realize how much I love Issun.

 

"A handsome guy like me should never be covered in wolf slobber!" (first encounter with Amaterasu where his teasiness gets him into her mouth)

"But I sure wish I coulda spent some more time in her kimono, if ya know what I mean!" (talking about Sakuya of course)

"Let's hurry up and find someone with a pulse around here!" (all the villagers being petrified)

"Wow! You're no run-of-the-mill god, that's for sure!" (when he realizes Ammy is the god of the sun)

"Don't go giving monsters sake! They're bad enough sober. Sheesh, what was she thinking?" (when Kushi says monsters got drunk and broke her rice-polishing mill)

"S-Sakuya! You're alive! And you... um... look very nice!" (getting excited by Sakuya's final form, practically naked after her tree fully blossoms)

 

Next up on my favorites list (not counting Ammy who'll always be on top) is Susano the "Great Worrier" (according to the sign in front of his house)

 

"Do even the beasts know of my great exploits, now? Well, Fido, I'm not looking for apprentices. Go back to the mountains and play with your monkey friends. How dare a mangy mutt like you interrupt my meditation!" (when woken up by Ammy's headbutt)

"Quit bugging me you... you... bug!" (protesting against Issun's... well, bugging)

"A man without drink is like a warrior without his trusty sword!" (having no sake left to inspire courage)

"Rest in peace, foul beast. The great warrior Susano condemns the offense, not the offender." (having "slain" the Sleepy Bear that invaded his secret hidin- er, I mean training ground)

 

Mr Orange: "A white wolf? Not the one who fought that terrible creature with Nagi!? You couldn't possibly be the legendary Shiranui! No, it can't be. That story is 100 years old. Still, you look a lot like that statue of Shiranui. On the other hand, you don't look quite as smart..."

Bakugami (god of explosives): "Too often, it is easy to forget that which we cannot see."

 

Then there are, like catch phrases.

Most brush gods: "Ah... Amaterasu. Origin of all that is good and mother to us all..."

Sakuya: "May the fresh scent of flowers protect you always." (at each visit after she blossoms)

 

Finally, when you take Susano on your back to forcibly take him to that boulder, go talk to the villagers - they'll say funny things sometimes.

"Susano! Stop frolicking around. The day is meant for work. Come give me a hand if you have time to waste like that!" - Mr Orange

"Oh, hello Susano. Looks like you've made a good pal there. Snowy really likes you." - Kushi

"Oh... Susano! That sure looks like fun! But shouldn't you be practicing your swordplay?" - Mrs Orange

"Boy, you're sure weird, Susano. Is that supposed to be some new kind of training or what?" - Mushi (boy with the dog)

"Ya see, I'm a guy of simple taste. I enjoy, ah, dynamite...and gunpowder, and GASOLINE! And you know the thing they have in common? They're cheap. I'm only burning my half. All you care about is money. This town deserves a better class of criminal, and I'm gonna give it to them. Tell your men the work for me now, this is my city.

"What you have are bullets and the hope that when your guns are empty I'm no longer standing, because if I am, you'll all be dead before you've reloaded." -V

"I know why you did it. I know you were afraid. Who wouldn't be? War, terror, disease. There were a myriad of problems which conspired to corrupt your reason and rob you of your common sense. Fear got the best of you, and in your panic you turned to the now high chancellor, Adam Sutler. He promised you order, he promised you peace, and all he demanded in return was your silent, obedient consent. Last night I sought to end that silence. Last night I destroyed the Old Bailey, to remind this country of what it has forgotten. More than 400 years ago a great citizen wished to embed the fifth of November forever in our memory. His hope was to remind the world that fairness, justice, and freedom are more than words, they are perspectives. So if you've seen nothing, if the crimes of this government remain unknown to you then I would suggest that you allow the fifth of November to pass unmarked. But if you see what I see, if you feel as I feel, and if you would seek as I seek, then I ask you to stand beside me one year from tonight, outside the gates of Parliament, and together we shall give them a fifth of November that shall never, ever be forgot." -V

"We are buried beneath your incompetencies, Mr. Creedy!" -Adam Sutler

And close as sin and suffering joined
We march to fate abreast."

"You're dead if you aim only for kids. Adults are only kids grown up, anyway." -Walt Disney

"Why do we have to grow up? I know more adults who have the children's approach to life. They're people who don't give a hang what the Joneses do. You see them at Disneyland every time you go there. They are not afraid to be delighted with simple pleasures, and they have a degree of contentment with what life has brought - sometimes it isn't much, either." -Walt Disney

"Do not pity the dead, pity the living. And above all, those who live without love" -Dumbledore

All you have to do is sign the checks, tell us we're doing a good job, and open your case of scotch when we have a good day. Second condition: my fee? You can keep it. All I want in return for my services is the right to hunt one of the tyrannosaurs. A male, a buck only. How and why is my business. Now, if you don't like either of those conditions, you're on your own. So go ahead, set up base camp right here, or in a swamp, or in the middle of a rex nest for all I care.

These creatures require our absence to survive, not our help. And if we could only step aside, and trust in nature.... life will find a way." -Dr. John Hammond

[Galen 1,354]

One quote that I really like is actually from Street Fighter 2, the animated movie during Ken's awakening:

"From strength, learn gentleness. Through gentleness, strength will prevail."

 

The quote has a lot of meaning to me because it shows how real strength is not the sort that is used against others, but is rather acquired through acts of kindness, helping and protecting others.

“When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down ‘happy’. They told me I didn’t understand the assignment, and I told them they didn’t understand life.” - John Lennon
