So live that when thy innumerable caravan moves to that mysterious rhealm, where each shall take his chamber in the silent halls of death. Thou go not like a quarry slave at night, scourged to his dungeon, but soothed and sustained by an unfaltering trust. Approach thy grave like one who wraps the drapery of his couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams.
Anyone know where this comes from? I had to memorize it in high school and take my turn and recite it in front of the class. That was twenty something years ago and I still remember it.

Okay, I guess that's not really cheating... Did you have to type all of that in the search engine?
Here's another one (It's easy):
"Water, water everywhere and all the boards did shrink. Water, water everywhere and not a drop to drink."

Close enough. I think Samuel Taylor Cooleridge authored it. I'm really not too good at these things. Someone had a "Riddle me this" thread a while back that was pretty interesting, so I thought this might be something along those lines.
Let's try a movie:
"You sure do got a purty mouth." :lol:

From a song:

I've got one.
From a TV SHOW
Honey comes out of a bee's behind. Milk comes out of a cow's behind. And you don't want to know where toothpaste comes from!

I've got one :idea:
what three movies had this line said by the same actor (pretty close to quoting):
"Faster, faster, must go faster!"

Damn you, let the rabbits wear glasses
Can I get an Amen? "baaaa" Can I get a hallelujia? "baaa"
Thank you Jesus.
I love tool, especially the Undertow album. That was the hidden song on undertow, shotguns for percussion and everything.

I memorized Edgar Allen Poe's, The Raven, in high school more than 20 years ago. I can still recite 99% of it :D :!:

So much for annes soliloquey...
"...Imperious Caesar dead and turned to clay, might stop a hole to keep the wind away, oh that that earth which held the world in awe, should patch a wall to expel the winter's flaw."

OK. Here's some more movie quotes for you. Better yet, watch the films if you haven't already.
1. "Because I'm convinced that people can walk through walls. Not just me. Anybody. Cops. People. People in Nashville."
2. "Look at that. Look at that asshole over there. Ordinary f*cking people, God I hate them."
3. "A word in your shell-like ear. If there's anything to be reported to Colonel Ross, I report it. Understood?"

That's the first line in a Radiohead song off of Amnesiac. Is it from somewhere else as well?
