With a smile on our lips
I'll have nothing left to wish"

DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
A fine collection. This wrinkly child thanks you.
ReplyDeleteElephant's Child: I really think that quote's true, for some of us, anyway, certainly, I think I'm also a wrinkly child.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
I really had to think about the first couple. #3 brought comic relief! #5 I'm not nosey but I'm curious.
ReplyDeletecolleen: #3 is so true. #5 - well, some of us are a little bit obsessive about things, right?
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
These are all so great! #3 made me laugh, but I especially love #13. :D
ReplyDeleteLark: That Dr. Who quote is so right, I've always liked that even though I didn't actually see that episode.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
What an interesting batch of quotations and from such varied sources! Well done.
ReplyDeleteCountryDew: Now that I check again, I seem not to have any movie quote on the list but that's okay.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
good quotes
ReplyDeleteChristine: I think so too.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
I love how eclectic your sources are! Your snowglobe graphic is pretty cool, too.
ReplyDeleteThe Gal Herself: I really do like my snowglobe graphic - I enjoy working on it. I'm glad someone liked it.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
#4 hahahahha. That Kenneth Branaugh movie got me to appreciate Hercule Poirot. Merry Christmas!
ReplyDeleteSu-sieee! Mac: I saw Branagh's Murder on the Orient Express but I didn't think it was all that great but I'm glad it got you to appreciate Poirot. Merry belated Christmas to you too.
DeleteThank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
“I personally believe we developed language because of our deep inner need to complain.”
ReplyDelete😂
"I don't obsess. I think, intensely."
That applies to me LOL. I was a fan of the original Charmed by the way...
“I wasn’t meant for reality, but life came and found me.”
That applies to me as well...ðŸ˜
"There are no adults in the world. Just children with wrinkles."
So true...
"Everything ends, and it's always sad. But everything begins again too, and that's... always happy. Be happy."
I remember this one from DW.
Oh, and Merry Christmas!
DeleteRoberta R.: I think we all want to complain but some of us don't and some of us do.
DeleteI'm a fan of the original Charmed as well. I don't like the idea of the remake of a woman having different race children by different race men, that's just silly. I did see a scene or two and it wasn't funny or engaging but maybe I'm biased but certainly, the characters seemed very wooden for some reason.
Life will find you though none of us are any good at hiding, are we?
Yep, we're all children with wrinkles, not that some of us wants to admit we're old...
I really like all the Dr Who quotes even if I only saw a few episodes.
Merry belated Christmas to you.
Thank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
I love #4! :) And ooh The Six Million Dollar Man. There are times when I feel a ned to go back and watch some of those (and the Bionic woman). I love the quote about time too...
ReplyDeleteGreg: I find #4 very amusing. I saw the entire series of Six Million Dollar Man and even written a review but never posted. Actually, I prefer the Bionic Woman more because she's funnier than Steve Austin.
DeleteThat time quote, do you mean #12? That sounds better if you listen to the song.
Thank you for coming by. Have a lovely day.
