Here's the original post from the newsletter.

Smart people, smarter than this fool, say wise things worth repeating. We all have favorite quotes. Some of them guide our lives, some make us laugh, some were written by sources unknown and others are part of the lyrics of a platinum album. One truth for all quotes exists: They exist to be shared with others. So here's a list of some of mine- All related to my tomfoolery.

Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of Fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a by-gone vexation, stands vivified and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin van-guarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta, held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose, so let me simply add that it's my very good honor to meet you and you may call me V. - V (woot!)

People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people. - V

Stealing implies ownership. You can't steal from the censor; I merely reclaimed them. - V

A symbol, in and of itself is powerless, but with enough people behind it, blowing up a building can change the world. - V

Every inch of me shall perish. Every inch, but one. An Inch, it is small and it is fragile, but it is the only thing the world worth having. We must never lose it or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.- Valerie

oh heck, the whole V for Vendetta movie has awesome quoteable quotes! (I even memorized the long V one XD)

@ whoooopdeeeedo: lol I love Forest Gump! It's a great movie.

No clue where this came from, I just remebered it one day(a dream, maybe? Maybe I heard it when I was a child?):

To earn strength, one must suffer. To suffer, one must know joy, elsewise strength will remain unknown.

Or this one:

Once every time Fate laughs, a dream is released into the world. Though the dream is fragmented, because the world is. The light from this world has long been chased away.

Once every time Fate leaks a tear, a nightmare is unleashed into the world. Though it's tainted with light. Because the world is. Darkness is bieng faught from the world.

It says that when you get get what you want, it can't be totally perfect.
