Great collage of quotes. I didn't recognize all of them but a few like "To be or not to be..." stood out. What inspired you to write this? I'm interested in knowing what led to the idea. Great job btw!
Nothing particularly, honestly. Anyway, thanks!
Ooooooh I know some of these!
This one's from "Yesterday" by The Beatles
This one's by Lucius Something Seneca
This is one of those old forming-America documents, I just can't remember which one.
I've heard this one a million times, I just don't know where it's from.
Shakespeare.
I've heard them both a lot, I dunno who originally said them, though.
SPIDER-MAN HECK YEAH
Aaaaaaaand this is all I've got.
Wait when did I make this a review what-
Good try there! To be honest, I myself don't know about the "You will not get what you want but get what you need." one, I just heard it once in a Rolling Stones song. The full quote, "we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal, and they are endowed by their creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness" was written by Thomas Jefferson and edited by Benjamin Franklin in the Declaration of Independence. And, if I remember correctly, "Cowards die a thousand times" was from Julius Caesar and "Ignorance is Bliss" was from a Roman philosopher named Syrus.
WAIT YEAH I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT
Hmm…I’m guessing the Shakespeare quotes are=
1) In sooth, I know not why I am
sad,
2) To be, or not to be, that is
the question.
3) The world's a stage, Gratiano,
where every man plays a part, and mine a sad one
By the way, this was really cool. Maybe you could arrange the quotes as a collage or something and add some background+visual affects/ scene pics to it?
Tag me if you do that!
That is a nice idea! But I barely have enough graphics knowledge to do that. And thanks! :p
I couldn’t decode where the quotes came from,but I think the one about great power coming with great responsibility is from “The Avengers“ and is said by Thor.I could be wrong,though.Maybe that’s not where the quote originally came from.Maybe Thor didn’t even say it! But,I do think the actual poem is original and intresting.Good job! I hope you have a lovely and beautiful day and night.
It is a Spiderman quote, @vampricone6783. And thanks! :p
