Did I really never reply to this? I'm sure I remember replying to it. Weren't there several more posts after this?
Er, anyway ... way
It's all in the way you lie when you're drinking
You tell me all sorts of improbable things
It's all in the way that you're mine

I'm not sure how to reply to this thread lol.. Anyways here goes:
Drinking
Drinking makes such fools of people, and people are such fools to begin with, that it's compounding a felony.
Robert Benchley
Er... drinking again, I´m afraid. This has been in my head for days, I have to use it.
The Man in the Moon was drinking deep,
and the cat began to wail;
A dish and a spoon on the table danced,
The cow in the garden madly pranced
and the little dog chased his tail.
man
Sir, I have quarrelled with my wife; and a man who has quarrelled with his wife is absolved from all duty to his country.
Thomas Love Peacock, Nightmare Abbey ... which I've not read. I did get it out of the library at one point, but sadly took it back without ever cracking the cover. Still, it does sound funny, doesn't it?

Its............not as long as yours I can (safely?) say...
Its from the last Harry Potter book
"Get away from my daughter you b****" Mrs Weasley said to Lord Voldemort/ a Deatheater ;P
Um.

Is that alright?
There was a quote like that in Doctor Who but that probably not it.

Time that is moved by little fidget wheels
Is not my Time
- Kenneth Slessor
time
The Wheel of Time turns and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again. In one Age, called the Third Age by some, an Age yet to come, an Age long past, a wind rose…. The wind was not the beginning. There are neither beginnings nor endings to the turning of the Wheel of time.
But it was a beginning.

Sorry, couldn't resist, everytime I hear that word out of context it makes me think of this farscape episode:
Einstein: Time.
John Crichton: Flies.
Einstein: Time.
John Crichton: Bandits.
Einstein: Time.
John Crichton: Wounds all heals.
Einstein: Time.
John Crichton: [sings] Rosemary and...
Einstein: Time.
John Crichton: Time ends.
ends
"This is the song that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends, some people started singing it, not knowing what it was, and they'll continue singing it forever just because this is the song that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends ... " etc. ;)
Oh, life is a glorious cycle of song,
A medley of extemporanea;
And love is a thing that can never go wrong;
And I am Marie of Romania.
Dorothy Parker
life
"The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I mean, life is tough. It takes up a lot of your time. What do you get at the end of it? A Death! What's that, a bonus? I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get it out of the way."
~George Carlin
Tough

Lemonade
Sorry couldn't resist the Buffyness as usual. That quote just made me think of this:
April: When things are sad... you just have to be patient. (Her speech begins to slow.) Because... because every... cloud has a silver lining. And... when life... gives you lemons... make... lemonade.
Buffy: Clouds and lemonade, huh?
Sad
Martha: George, who is out somewhere there in the dark. Who is good to me. Whom I revile. Who can keep learning the games we play as quickly as I can change them. Who can make me happy and I do not wish to be happy. Yes, I do wish to be happy. George and Martha — sad, sad, sad.
Nick: Sad.
Martha: Whom I will not forgive for having come to rest, for having seen me and having said, "Yes, this will do". Who has made the hideous, the hurting, the insulting mistake of loving… me. And must be punished for it. George and Martha — sad, sad, sad.
Edward Albee - Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
Er... I hope this isn't too unintelligible. This is a brilliant play (and film) but, as I'm sure you can tell, quite dark and disturbing. It's the only bit of literature my parents made an effort to keep me from reading when I was thirteen.
happy
"Now they lived a very lonely and happy life; and as they had no children themselves, they had adopted a little common snail, which they brought up as their own; but the little one would not grow, for he was of a common family; but the old ones, especially Dame Mother Snail, thought they could observe how he increased in size, and she begged father, if he could not see it, that he would at least feel the little snail's shell; and then he felt it, and found the good dame was right."
- Hans Christian Anderson
snail
Ernest was an elephant, a great big fellow,
Leonard was a lion with a six foot tail,
George was a goat, and his beard was yellow,
And James was a very small snail.

Great
Problems are solved only when we devote a great deal of attention to them and in a creative way...to have a good life, it is not enough to remove what is wrong with it. We also need a positive goal, otherwise why keep going? Creativity is one answer to that question: It provides one of the most exciting models for living.

Good
We should get jerseys cause we make a good team,
But yours would look better than mine, cause you're outta my league.

League
BUFFY: In the meantime, we need to stick together. 'kay, we're stronger that way. We cannot afford to fall apart now.
ANDREW: She's right. Where would the Justice League have been if they hadn't put their differences aside to stop the Imperium, this shape-shifting alien horde?
BUFFY: Don't help me.
