List 5 most favorites quotes :)

[tindomerel.livejournal.com]

Oh dear... many of them are from Robin Hobb books these days.. but I try not to flood my top 5 with them all... but let me see...

"This is the time when the world changes, the time when you can be transformed. You are the central fire. You ae the flowering tree." by Agnes Whistling Elg

"If men had wings and bore black feathers, few of them would be clever enough to be crows." by Henry Ward Beecher

"My curiosity has always been greater than my wisdom. But largest of all is my own loneliness. Because I am a long way from home and family, not just in distance but in years." Amber in Robin Hobb's Liveship traders book 1.

"open-minded is not dependent on what you believe, but what you allow others to believe." mamaslyth in pumagrrl's lj a couple of days ago.

"Jos yrittäisin puhua vain sanoja, käsiin jäänyt kosketuksen paloja, täytyy luopua, ajatella uudelleen, itsensä ja muut." CMX: Aura

oh, then I'd like to see your top 5 of Robin Hobb quotes ;-) Somehow I never come across good quotes or I just don't see them and if I happen to read something I like I'm sure to forget the page ;-)

Oh dear... There will be MANY more than just 5!!!
:)

I guess most of my favourite quotes are said by Fool, of course.

"And when I call you beloved, you may call me fool." (It's from the first tawny man book where the Fool tells his real name and somehow it's rather bittersweet..)

"I have never been wise." (It's in the end of the book 3 of Tawny man trilogy and it is as much as there is a promise of Fool & Fitz being united once more.. *sigh*)

"My dream was dead in my arms." (No need to explain this. It just tells everything.)

"Wolves have no kings." (Nighteyes is wise.)

"Had I known you missed it, I would have been rude to you much sooner." ( ;))

"How old must I be before I learn? There is no time; there is never any time. Tomorrow may never come, but todays are linked inexorably in a chain, and now is always the only time we have to divert disaster." (Amber)

"Stop using every mistake you make as an excuse to fail completely." (so true..)

"In the space of a sundown, you show me the wide world from a horse´s back, and the soul of the world within my own walls." (*sigh*)

"You should leave off sniffing the carcass of your old life, my brother. You may enjoy unending pain. I do not. There is no shame in walking away from bones, Changer. Nor is there any special wisdom in injuring oneself over and over. What is your loyalty to that pain? To abandon it will not lessen you." (Something I should remember)

"Death is always less painfull and easier than life! You speak true. And yet we do not, day to day, choose death. Because ultimately, death is not the opposite of life, but the opposite of choice. Death is what you get when there are no choices left to make. Am I right?"

those are really nice quotes :-) I remember many of them, too.

well I am not sure if this is allowed but top 5 of your worst flaws;) :D

[tindomerel.livejournal.com]

Hmmm... :)
-I take things far too seriously & tend to carry the whole world on my shoulders=I worry too much and tend to feel too much drama in my life at times
-My lack of courage/self esteem. I am not all that bad in this matter but I often find my limits in this and I wish I was more relaxed & carried myself in a more confident way.
-I sometimes get irrationally scared about speaking in public. For example asking a question in a full room (lecture etc) is sometimes very difficult for me.
-I'm not good at dealing with the society. I feel stupid & miserable when i don't understand how it all works. I avoid dealing with things/bureucrazy until I really must.
-I tend to be a bit too arrogant or self conscious at times. I try to avoid it as deep in my heart I never believe I am any better than the rest of us but I often try to share my insights and at times it may really piss someone off.

eeek drama!
it's something very tiring and it sucks all the positive energy from your soul!
I am sometimes a bit sad to see some of my friends let their soul be engulfed in drama,whereas it would go away more easily if you let it rain on you;)
but well I understand people react differently

lack of courage,yes I know that myself too!
but you still look braver than a lot of people;)

ahah speaking in public!!well I am quite surprised!
you seem so self assured,not shy at all!
havent you been a sort of guide as a job? you had to speak in public?
I admire that!I wouldn t be able to do that!
Most of my jobs were sometimes painful for I had to speak and put away my introversion!but in some ways I felt so happy to push my limits more and more!
I even dared to speak in the mic in supermarket;p ahah,was such an event for me;D

ahah bureaucrazy ahah,yes indeed;) I relate to that too;p
I deal with it but it's something that often drives me insane

yes I understand the last one too
hey don't you have more down to earth flaws?
like being greedy,jealous,mischievous at times,cholerique etc?

[tindomerel.livejournal.com]

Fortunately I'm learning to take life a bit less seriously. I don't have so much drama with other people these days (I used to when I was younger but fortunately it is something I've been able to change about me!) but at times I have tendency to feel life very strongly and it may feel dramatic. But a good antidote is to laugh more. :)

When I was working as a museum guide I never had to guide too big groups or people. Mostly it was just guiding a couple of people at once as I was in a historical house and mostly answering to questions people asked about these things. I do not mind keeping lectures to small classes about some subject I know very well but I get irrational fears & sweaty hands & hear beats when I think about speaking out loud in a public place with lots of people around. And especially if I feel much about some subject, it is difficult for me to use my voice in a steady way. So indeed I am shy. Not among children though.
But it is something I like to challenge myself about. ;)

Hmm.. I guess I don't consider my more down to Earth flaws as flaws. Sure I'm materialistic and someone might see it as a flaw but it gives me too much joy to feel guilty about it. I am sometimes jealous.. or well, not jealous but feel lousy about myself compared to someone else. But most of the time I have this rule that I wish people good. For example if I see someone very pretty, I say to her or myself that she is very pretty and it isn't away from me. :)

I'm lazy as well but why should I be more active? And I have my energetic times and I do not have too much ambitions anyway so laziness can be lots of fun. :)

And sometimes I'm crumpy & negative & irritated/irritating as well. ;)
