Quotes, Quotes, Quotes! /// The Quote Quota, Part 1

An idea I had for a blog post/series way before I even began The Steadfast Post was one of various quotes. I would just share random quotes that I like--whether they were from books, movies/TV shows, video games, or even YouTube videos--and stick a bunch of them in one post. So that's what I'm doing today!

(Because I had no other idea, so please bear with me.)

I'm not sure how long this post will be. I guess it all depends on how many quotes I can remember or find. Let's begin!

Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.

And that's the end of it! What'd you think of it? Would you like to see this become a series, albeit a drawn-out one? Which quote was your favorite, or did you have several? Got any good/humorous/inspiring quotes to share with the rest of us?

  1. Ooh, yes, I want this as a series!!! I love reading quotes - they'll often entice me to read/watch/listen to the entire work. Of course, the LOTR quote was the best, but the LEGO ones made me laugh. XD You and your friends sound like you have way too much fun. :P Also, the "First they came" piece is amazing. I haven't forgotten it since I saw it in the Holocaust Museum.

    Well, this quote's been stuck in my head for a good three days, so I may as well share it. It's from Lindsey Stirling's "Something Wild."
    "If you face the fear that keeps you frozen
    Chase the sky into the ocean
    That's when something wild calls you home, home."

    I could keep sharing quotes . . . but this comment would end up at ridiculous proportions. :D I hope to see another one of these posts sometime soon . . .

    1. Well, then perhaps I'll have to make it one, though with longer spans of time between the posts. Yeah, they're a good method of advertising! It's a very classic quote, so I had to include it. The LEGO movies/TV shows/video games definitely have some great dialogue. XD We do, although it's hard to see how someone can have too much fun. :P It's very inspiring, to be sure.

      Oh, I love that song! Definitely one of my favorites that Lindsey's done. And the movie that it was in was also fantastic. :D

      Yeah, I had to eventually stop myself from adding more. XD Probably won't be for at least another month, but I'll see what I can do. :)

    2. Wait, when you said the LEGO ones, did you mean the ones between my friends and I? XD

  2. QUOTES! This was such a fun post and I'd be all over it being a series! Quotes can be so fun and inspiring. And you pulled out some really great ones! I was smiling and/or nodding the whole time I read this.

    Obviously the Tolkien one is my favorite. But I may be a bit biased. ;D And you can't go wrong with Captain America quotes. Also, "We named the monkey Jack" has always been one of my faaaves. XD

    The Undertale ones made me realize even more how much I need to try that game.

    Alllll the LEGO ones were fantastic! You and your friends are totally hilarious!

    OH. And that Mark Twain one is SO powerful. Definitely one of the greatest quotes out there. The Martin Niemoller one, too!

    Also, all of Dez's lines from Austen and Ally crack me up. He's really the reason to watch that show. Lol.

    1. I suppose I'll have to make it an official series on my blog. :D Thank you! The post was paradoxically both hard and easy to write. Before I started making the post, I thought of a whole bunch of quotes to add. But when I actually sat down, my mind went blank, and I had to dig deeper to remember them.

      Sometimes it's not bad to be biased. ;P Cap quotes are definitely some of the best! I find it easier to imitate Barbossa's voice when I use that line. XD

      That game is chock-full of great quotes! I could've added a whole bunch more, but when I didn't want to really do more than two or so from the same source.

      We are indeed; thank you for recognizing that. XD We definitely had some amazing--and amusing--times together on the LEGO Message Boards.

      He's got a few quotes that I think are really good. I wanted to throw some inspiring quotes in the mix too.

      This is true. If he wasn't in the show, it wouldn't be worth watching.

  3. Awesome post! xD
    Lol, that first quote. Rabbit, smh. xD
    That quote from PotC was hilarious!
    The LEGO Ninjago quote was funny too.
    Ahh, NF. . . T_T
    Those LMBs ones are simply priceless. xD

    I'd definitely like to see this turn into a series! It's so much fun to read quotes like these. :D

    1. Thanks, buddy! Glad you enjoyed it. :D

      Yeah, Rabbit acts as if he's the smartest one of the bunch, when really he can be just as silly. XD

      Have you seen the PotC movies? They've got a number of hilarious quotes.

      Yeah, the humor in that movie is on-point.

      He's got so many great lyrics in his songs. I'll definitely be including more.

      They bring back so many fond memories of our days on there.

      Well, if three people want it, it shall be done! I just don't know what to call the series . . . :P

  4. Oooo! This was a fun post to read! :O You should do another one like this sometime, mhm! XD

    My favorite of the quotes were...

    Oh, gosh, that'd be most of them! XDD (Except, you know, the ones from Markiplier and Jacksepticeye... Heheheh. :P XD)

    Howwwwwww could you add that quote from Mark Twain about the two most important days of someone's life??? (I almost wanted to go cry in a corner... And Tracey played a little of that song about falling down, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 or something today!!! Like, how could you both be so cruel to my feels today?! DX) XD

    Anyhoo, great post!!! :D

    1. Well, it was a fun post to write, so I'm glad it was fun on both ends. XD Seems like everyone wants this to become a thing, which I certainly don't have a problem with. :P

      I chose some real good ones, right? XD (*raises my eyebrow* :P)

      Because it's a really good and inspiring quote, that's why. (MWA HA HA! It's our glorious plan to destroy your feels. XD)

      Thanks! :)

  5. "Your lives that I spit on are now but a caricature of a cartoon drawn by a kid who is stupid!"- I'll have to add that one to my list of insults.
    It's hard to pick a favourite from this list- and yes, this would make an excellent series! I love a good quote!

    1. I'd love to see it when you use that insult on someone. Their reaction would be so priceless. XD What'd be even funnier is if that person had played the Mario & Luigi games.

      Yeah, picking a favorite anything can be really hard. Well, everyone's who had commented says they want it to be a series, so it's a done deal. :D
