One Liners

Okay, Wisdom-Gatherers and Laughter-Makers~

I invite you to share one of your favorite one liners from a song, poem, book, show, sign, forum post, friend, or magnet on your refrigerator.

Right now my favorite one liner is:

"Let go or be dragged." (American Proverb)

And favorite line from a song award goes to Beyonce
(Best Thing I Never Had):

"Thank G*d I found the good in good-bye."

high five adoette

it's a nice way to treat goodbye as "good". things happen for a good reason, so every letting go must be painful but hopefully good awaits on every go. move on, great hugs xoxo

I like your one adoette "Let go or be dragged" hahaha that made me laugh. "Sink or swim" "Do what you have always done, get what you have always 'gotten'" "What you sow, so you shall reap" "If it makes you happy, it's a bargain" (great one to use when justifying a purchase lol) "I'm currently practising I don't give a fuckism"

“Watching you walk out of my life does not make me bitter or cynical about love. But rather makes me realize that if I wanted so much to be with the wrong person how beautiful it will be when the right one comes along.” I also like: "Even with all the mayonnaise in the world, you can't make chicken salad from chicken shit."

adoette and all,

I just have to chime in with one I have posted over a hole he punched in my pantry door: 'IT IS BETTER TO HAVE LOVED AND LOST THAN TO SPEND THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH A PSYCHO' Abso-f'n-loutely!!! Love you all! Adoette, thanks for this great thread. Sincerely, (not) spinning. I REJECT ALL CHAOS AND DESTRUCTION. I REJECT ALL REJECTS!!!

Ohh like it .. mine is "never have i heared so many words used to express such a little idea".. My narc use to talk for hours about politics but never had a point to it , no begining , middle or end .. just endless monologues , i swear to god he never came up for air .. normal people wil pause to ponder their thoughts or alow the other person in to comment to further the discusiion but my narc just rambled on .. soooo boring !

Scoop

Mine, too, Scoop. Monologuing on and on and on and on and on and on....crazy, huh? You would think that with all their adaptive behavior ability, they could at least FAKE being interested in someone else's ideas or FAKE a little give and take in a conversation. WAY before I knew he was a psychopath (I'm siding with Thomas Sheridan on how to name the disordered one) I remember thinking, "Huh. It seems to be ALL ABOUT HIM." I can't quite get my brain around why I thought that was so great. Because of course, even though he was boring as all get out, I LIVED for those chats. I think at the time I still thought he "needed" me (to listen to him) and that I was somehow priviledged to be the one he confided in and honored that I could sit at his feet. (Insert gagging sounds here.) Go figure.

Yours too?!?! My ears used to ache after listening to him for a while. The term that comes to my mind is "noise pollution". I used to tell people not to bother holding their breath waiting for xnh to come up for air. If you do, you're doing to die of asphyxiation well before you get a chance. lol.

Same Here!!

He talked and talked and talked. I kept waiting for him to stop or pause - didn't happen. Once in a while, I interrupted which didn't go over well. And once, I told him to Shut Up!! To which he responded, "No one ever told me that before". I said, "Maybe they should have"!! My diagnosis - he liked the sound of his own voice:) Sorry, this is off the "one liner" subject!!

Oh, but it is on subject, OC. Because they would never get the concept of one liners...ha. I love it that you told him to shut up. I think they have to keep talking to prove to themselves that they are there. If they stopped talking...POOF...they might cease to exist.

Shut up!

I said this to mine in one of our "final" conversations after the big D&D. Maybe it was the last one, which is why that day ended so differently than all the others, even when I had told him off on numerous occasions before. On that particular day, I told him at one point to SHUT UP! Of course, he turned those words back around on me. "See, this is another reason it can't work between us, you tell me to shut up. (Oh, how rude of me to say that when he's talking about OW to me or putting me down and won't stop. Still my fault he picked OW over me.) I also added, "It's like you have diarrhea of the mouth.... it just keeps running." He was kind of stunned after I said that.

lol. Good one, mystwoman! (don't hold your breath) Noise pollution, indeed. But God forbid I space out during a monologue and not respond properly...they have to have the stage AND your undying devotion/attention/admiration.
