Rest in peace, my bulky sig. Great song, though, too bad it was banned from the radio. ~*~Orual~*~

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.

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.

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:

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..

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.

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

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;

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:

Both of those quotations are absolutely brilliant. I especially like Macchiavelli there. Most apposite for some threads.

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.

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]
