Title: [Writing] Quotes I Created
Post by: Revtattertot on April 08, 2012, 08:54:09 PM: 7 Quotes

By: Tatton Ray[Revtattertot]

#1: Oftentimes, you can learn something complex by leaning something simple. Take art for example, in that all things are made up of no less than 5 simple geometric shapes.

#2: My favorite word: Center. It means a lot of things, but its best meaning is "a sort of zen state of mind, heightened focus, abundance of wisom" when derived from the phrase "Sense of Center".

#3: All art is is the expression of soul, so even something as trivial as a linguistic slang can be considered art, in the right mind.

#4: Manga? Yeah, I've studied it, but I'm no master.

#5: Even if you get absolutely destroyed, you can win, but only if you disallow yourself the luxury of defeat.

#6: My ambitions are nothing more than a peaceful life, with a good family, and no need to have to do things like bounce checks, overdraft, or more desperate unmentionables.

#7: Everyone has that one perk that is better than everybody else, and I mean EVERYBODY.

However, how many of tham are actually practical?

Post by: Lethrface on April 08, 2012, 09:19:55 PM: It is hard to make a name for yourself in the large popularity contest called life. Why not quote yourself once in a while and see if others can agree? Sometimes, the most interesting people are often overlooked just because they aren't popular.

fixed.

but this thread is silly, who makes a thread to quote themself.

the whole point of a quote is that someone else heard it and decided it was worth retelling.

I recall someone from a long time ago on some other forum, (his nick was "macabre" and the forum is gone now)

he said "Anonymity will conceal a man but stupidity will reveal him." it was in reference to a troll who kept making dupe accounts, but I do think it was a good quote and applies to other things.

in fact, had you said they were just quotes and not mentioned they were from you, this may have been a worthwhile thread. Concealing yourself as the originator would be humble but saying they're your own quotes reveals a certain level of stupidity.

Sorry, Reverend Tatertots.

Just be real, man. Don't try and be anything. Just be.

If you start a quote thread, this is the guy to base it off.

Also one of my favourite quotes of mine is '"Quoting oneself gives greater self-esteem and confidence" - Me, right now.'
Also "Sane people are boring" is basically my motto.
But who gives a shit?

Since this thread is in the forum's "Library" tab, and since its made of threads based off of writing, self-quotes fall into that category as a type of writing. I remember because several classes I'm in right now require the students to write 10 of their own original quotes.

While I do accept the facts of the quote you named, I will state that stupidity was not the intention of this thread.

Correct. I've got 2 more in my head but they don't seem like they'll stick, so until I can refine them, this is what I got, which is a C average.

My question is, what kind of crackpot school are you going to where "several" classes have you write out a bunch of stupid pretentious quotes?

Did you end up passing that assignment?
Title: Re: Quotes I Created
Post by: Revtattertot on April 25, 2012, 10:57:11 PM: Yes, actually. I actually got extra credit because I had a lightbulb moment and wrote my quotes, their inspirations behind them, and a breakdown of each quote. It was a 93% with a 35 point curve.

Title: Re: Quotes I Created
Post by: Acolyte on April 25, 2012, 11:15:07 PM: A 35 point curve? Is your class full of retards or what?
Title: Re: Quotes I Created
Post by: Revtattertot on April 25, 2012, 11:22:39 PM: The curve was for extra credit, the teachers give individual curves to each student depending on how much extra work they put in. Some kids got a 5 point curve, some kids got no curve, some even got a 50 point curve. It all depends on how well they did their project, not their intel or IQ rating.

On that note, I feel bad for this kid in my class. He got a 22%, no curve, and is required to do an alt. assignment to make the grade up.
