Doctor Who
Flight of the conchords
Game of thrones

Extras
Faulty towers

or any quote from a led zeppelin song or about travelling.

I answered you in a different spot but didn't give any Led Zeppelin references there. You said travelling words so:

From Over the Hills and Far Away:

Many have I loved, and many times been bitten,

many times I've gazed along the open road.



Mellow is the man who knows what he's been missin',

many many men can't see the open road.



Pretty much ALL of Ramble on is about rambling on...Pick a line a week....

Leaves are fallin' all around, time I was on my way

Thanks to you, I'm much obliged for such a pleasant stay

but now it's time for me to go, the autumn moon lights my way

for now I smell the rain, and with it, pain

and it's headed my way

Aw, sometimes I grow so tired

but I know I've got one thing I got to do



A-ramble on, and now's the time, the time is now

Sing my song, I'm goin' 'round the world, I gotta find my girl

On my way, I've been this way ten years to the day

Ramble on, gotta find the queen of all my dreams



Got no time to for spreadin' roots, the time has come to be gone

And though our health we drank a thousand times

it's time to ramble on



A-ramble on, and now's the time, the time is now

Sing my song, I'm goin' 'round the world

I've gotta find my girl

On my way, I've been this way ten years to the day

I gotta ramble on, I gotta find the queen of all my dreams

I tell you no lie



Mine's a tale that can't be told, my freedom I hold dear

How years ago in days of old when magic filled the air

'twas in the darkest depths of Mordor, mm-I met a girl so fair

but Gollum and the evil one crept up and slipped away with her

I'll include quotes from the ones I watched/read from your list. xP



Sherlock

- "Look, I'm in shock, I have a blanket." (Sherlock)

- "Brainy is the new sexy." (Irene Adler)

- "Your mind; it's so placid, straight-forward, barely used. Mine's like an engine, racing out of control; a rocket tearing itself to pieces, trapped on the launchpad... I need a case!" (Sherlock)

- "Oh, I may be on the side of the angels...but don't think for one second that I am one of them." (Sherlock)



Alice in Wonderland

- "If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn't. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn't be, and what it wouldn't be, it would. You see?" (Alice)

- "It would be so nice if something would make sense for a change." (Alice)

- "Curiouser and curiouser." (Alice)

- "Read the directions and directly you will be directed in the right direction." (Doorknob)



To Kill a Mockingbird (one of my favourite books!)

- "I think there's just one kind of folks. Folks." (Scout)

- "You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." (Atticus)

- "I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do." (Atticus)



Sherlock Holmes

- "When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth."

- "The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes."

- "You see, but you do not observe. The distinction is clear."

- "Data! Data! Data!" he cried impatiently. "I can't make bricks without clay."

- "I confess that I have been blind as a mole, but it is better to learn wisdom late than never to learn it at all."



Harry Potter

- "I like a quiet life, you know me." (Harry)

- "But we feel our futures lie outside the world of academic achievement." (Fred)

- "It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that." (Dumbledore)

- "It is our choices that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." (Dumbledore)

- "If you want to know what a man's like, take a good look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." (Sirius)

- "Wit beyond measure is man's greatest treasure." (Luna)

Aaaah so many nice quotes by Dumbledore. http://www.quotegarden.com/bk-hp.html



Whew, that was long. Hope this helps. :))

They're certainly entitled to think that, and they're entitled to full respect for their opinions... but before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience. ~Harper Lee, To Kill a Mockingbird,

OR

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. Good things don't always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don't necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant. - 11th Doctor Matt Smith, Vincent and the Doctor.

OR (My favorite one :) )

People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but *actually* from a non-linear, non-subjective viewpoint - it's more like a big ball of wibbly wobbly... time-y wimey... stuff. -The Tenth Doctor

It does not do to dwell on dreams and forget to live, remember that.

~ Albus Dumbledore.



Differences of habit and language are nothing at all if our aims are identical and our hearts are open.

~ Albus Dumbledore.



It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.

~ Albus Dumbledore.



Youth cannot know how age thinks and feels. But old men are guilty if they forget what it was to be young...

~ Albus Dumbledore.

This is my favourite qoute from Alice in Wonderland:



"But, my dear, this is not Wonderland, and you are not Alice"



And I have this one on my wall from Alice in Wonderland:



"If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense."



I love Alice in Wonderland!
