[UDP]

Write a quotation that seems to remind you of a delta, or just one you enjoy greatly regardless.

"Trust only movement. Life happens at the level of events, not of words. Trust movement."
(Alfred Adler)

Skip Skipperton: Are you telling me that your last job before becoming a psychologist was an investigator for the IRS?
Dr. Mumford: Everybody has a story, Skip.
Skip Skipperton: Seems like you got the variety pack.

Skip Skipperton: [to Mumford] Oh, she doesn't know about it yet. Right now, out of the two of us, I'm the only one in love. But I'm really stoked!

Dr. Mumford: I noticed something. For some reason, probably because I was too stoned to talk, everywhere I went people would talk to me. Tell me everything. Their problems, their inner most thoughts. Sometimes they needed advice, but most of the people just wanted someone to listen.

And the crowning moment of funny:

Skip Skipperton: You've fallen in love with one of your patients? - Doc! It's not me is it?
Dr. Mumford: What! No, Skip. It's not you, but I like you a lot.

On Ne+Fi:

If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person's point of view and see things from that person's angle as well as from your own.

On Si+Te:

The highest use of capital is not to make more money, but to make money do more for the betterment of life.

Our hands do. Our minds plan. Our sentiments rule. Thus the central and most important position of our society belongs to them, who through motivation, move the entire world without even touching it.

"We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once."
— Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche

[1981slater]

My INFj aunt always says that men (and women) who hire prostitutes should die right now

[randomguy]

Everything human is pathetic. The secret source of Humor itself is not joy but sorrow. There is no humor in heaven. ~Mark Twain

[The Exception]

I don't think it's delta but:

"If at first you don't succeed, then parachuting is not for you"

[Slacker]

This is from a friend I've never even thought to type for some reason. But this quote sure makes me think Delta NF.

So, I told (her husband) that I would finish two projects this week, before I start anything new. He asked which ones I would finish. I told him I'd start to finish a few, and then see which ones I felt like actually finishing.

[Lobo]

This is from a friend I've never even thought to type for some reason. But this quote sure makes me think Delta NF.

That applies to me at least.

Lee Marvin (Si-ESTj)

“Ah, stardom! They put your name on a star in the sidewalk on Hollywood Boulevard and you walk down and find a pile of dog manure on it. That tells the whole story, baby.”

“Tequila. Straight. There's a real polite drink. You keep drinking until you finally take one more and it just won't go down. Then you know you've reached your limit,”

“I only make movies to finance my fishing'.”

“I love Marlon Brando. Never seem him bad, just less good.”

Morgan Freeman (Ne-INFj)

Acting means living, it's all I do and all I'm good at. If I weren't getting paid well, I would still be acting in a small troupe somewhere.

And some places you been before are so great that you don't ever mind going back. Some places you been before you don't ever want to go back, you know, like Montreal in the Winter.

And that if you become a star, people are going to go to see you. If you remain an actor, they're going to go and see the story you're in.

As you grow in this business, you learn how to do more with less.

But I can say that life is good to me. Has been and is good. So I think my task is to be good to it. So how do you be good to life? You live it.

Give me something interesting to play and I'm happy.

I always tell my kids if you lay down, people will step over you. But if you keep scrambling, if you keep going, someone will always, always give you a hand. Always. But you gotta keep dancing, you gotta keep your feet moving.

I can only be so long without work before I start getting antsy.

I find it difficult to watch myself... I find it boring.

I feel fine, I don't care who the director is. All you have to do is know what your doing - all of us - everybody in the business - that's all you ask anyone - you know your job, I know mine, let's go do it.

Haruki Murakami (Fi-INFj)
Everybody's born with some different thing at the core of their existence. And that thing, whatever it is, becomes like a heat source that runs each person from the inside. I have one too, of course. Like everybody else. But sometimes it gets out of hand. It swells or shrinks inside me, and it shakes me up. What I'd really like to do is find a way to communicate that feeling to another person. But I can't seem to do it. They just don't get it. Of course, the problem could be that I'm not explaining it very well, but I think it's because they're not listening very well. They pretend to be listening, but they're not, really. So I get worked up sometimes, and I do some crazy things.

Is it possible, in the final analysis, for one human being to achieve perfect understanding of another? We can invest enormous time and energy in serious efforts to know another person, but in the end, how close can we come to that person's essence? We convince ourselves that we know the other person well, but do we really know anything important about anyone?

No mistake about it. Ice is cold; roses are red; I'm in love. And this love is about to carry me off somewhere. The current's too overpowering; I don't have any choice. It may very well be a special place, some place I've never seen before. Danger may be lurking there, something that may end up wounding me deeply, fatally. I might end up losing everything. But there's no turning back. I can only go with the flow. Even if it means I'll be burned up, gone forever.

I sometimes think that people’s hearts are like deep wells. Nobody knows what’s at the bottom. All you can do is imagine by what comes floating to the surface every once in a while.

Olivia Munn (Ne-ENFp)
Nothing says "bitch" like "bitch"

[Galen]

Roald Dahl (Te-ISTp)

A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts they will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely.

The life of a writer is absolute hell compared to the life of a businessman. The writer has to force himself to work. He has to make his own hours and if he doesn't go to his desk at all there is nobody to scold him ... A person is a fool to become a writer. His only compensation is absolute freedom. He has no master except his own soul, and that, I am sure, is why he does it.

I began to realize how important it was to be an enthusiast in life. He taught me that if you are interested in something, no matter what it is, go at it at full speed ahead. Embrace it with both arms, hug it, love it and above all become passionate about it. Lukewarm is no good. Hot is no good either. White hot and passionate is the only thing to be.

Walt Disney (Ne-ENFp)

I do not like to repeat successes, I like to go on to other things.

I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.

Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.

Animation is different from other parts. Its language is the language of caricature. Our most difficult job was to develop the cartoon's unnatural but seemingly natural anatomy for humans and animals.

Animation can explain whatever the mind of man can conceive. This facility makes it the most versatile and explicit means of communication yet devised for quick mass appreciation.

Or heritage and ideals, our code and standards - the things we live by and teach our children - are preserved or diminished by how freely we exchange ideas and feelings.

J.R.R. Tolkien (Fi-INFj)

“I do not love the bright sword for it's sharpness, nor the arrow for it's swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend”

“It is the job that is never started that takes longest to finish.”

“There is nothing like looking, if you want to find something. You certainly usually find something, if you look, but it is not always quite the something you were after.”

“I warn you, if you bore me, I shall take my revenge.”

“Fair speech may hide a foul heart.”

Toshiro Mifune (Te-ISTp)

(about speaking English) I can't speak English, Instead memorize English lines by the sounds of the words.

I'm not always great in pictures, but I'm always true to the Japanese spirit.

There I was, a naive man of 20. The other bewildered young recruits were stirred up to a blood lust. What a nightmare! - on the xenophobia displayed by his fellow troops in World War II

That the Japanese film is known at all in the West is due mainly to the pictures of Akira Kurosawa. That I am known both here and abroad is also mainly due to him. He taught me practically everything I know, and it was he who first introduced me to myself as an actor. Kurosawa has this quality, this ability to bring things out of you that you never knew were there. It is enormously difficult work, but each picture with him is a revelation. When you see his films, you find them full realizations of ideas, of emotions, of a philosophy which surprises with its strength, even shocks with its power. You had not expected to be so moved, to find within your own self this depth of understanding.

Scott Glenn (Te-ISTp)

"There are many different reasons why people take parts. For me, there are basically two: one is economic -- you have to keep working, pay the rent; that`s a given. The other one, for me, usually has nothing to do with the overall film - whether the script is good, whom I`m working with, whether it`s going to get good reviews -- it`s just the part, the character. Is this somebody whose shoes I want to live in for four months? If I don`t instinctively answer `yes` to that question, I shouldn`t be doing the movie."

"Essentially what actors do is put colors on a palette for directors to paint with."

Richard Chamberlain (Te-ESTj)

I suppose everyone tells little white lies. Quite often they're necessary to make someone feel better or prevent feelings from being hurt. Whoppers? No, that's dangerous and they'll boomerang.

I've learned, I think, to be able to distinguish between the necessary and the unnecessary as far as my limited outside time is concerned. Saying "no" politely is a necessity if one wants to lead any kind of stable life.

Over a long period of time, living as if you were someone else is no fun.

Nothing is secret once you tell anyone. If you want to keep it quiet - don't tell a soul.

[Kogoro Akechi]

*steals Pa3s' signature quote"
"From my rotting body, flowers shall grow and I am in them and that is eternity." – Edvard Munch

Thanks Fenn, this is more better. I like your idea.

[Pa3s]

Here's another one. No idea where it's from, but anyways...

"Be humble for you are made of earth. Be noble for you are made of stars."

[fen]

Oh, you.

This was in lungs' signature for awhile...it says Ti-devaluing to me, but I also have no idea what I'm talking about, so I'm probably wrong.

“You cut up a thing that's alive and beautiful to find out how it's alive and why it's beautiful, and before you know it, it's neither of those things, and you're standing there with blood on your face and tears in your sight and only the terrible ache of guilt to show for it.”
― Clive Barker

[Pa3s]

Actually, that "taking things apart and see how they work"-mentality sounds more Te to me, making the quote Te-critical. Or maybe just T-critical and pro-F.

[fen]

Hmm, really? I've always understood Ti as the "picking apart and seeing how it works" kinda thing.
Though, I can actually see what you mean, on second thought.
I don't understand functions.

[Pa3s]

A good rule of thumb is always:
Xe --> function regarding the object itself
Xi --> function regarding the subjective abstractions from the object

That could mean:
Te --> taking the machine apart to see how it works
Ti --> observe how it works and theorize about its functioning

[ashlesha]

so as to avoid derail, jodi picoult again

“There are two kinds of love...in the safe kind you look for someone who's exactly like you. It's what most folks settle for. But then there's the other kind of love. Everyone's born with a ragged edge, and some folks crave that piece that's a perfect fit. You'll search for it forever, if you have to. And if you're lucky enough to find it, it looks so right, you start to tear at your own seams, thinking, maybe I could look just as perfect. But then, of course, when you try to get close to their other half, you don't fit anymore. That kind of love...you come out of it a different person than you were when you started.”
― Jodi Picoult

[Beautiful sky]

LSE - Do you see HOW that works?
EII - I just LOVE that statement.

SLI - Is that going to take you forever? How much is that going to cost? better yet How long will that take you?
IEE - I think I'm getting too carried away with this and not relaxing enough.

[Galen]

LSE - Do you see HOW that works?

what a bizarre way to emphasize that sentence

[Cuddly McFluffles]

My father isn't necessarily LSE, but I could see LSE doing these.

Dad: Do you want to take these water bottles with you (to your new apartment)? They could be useful for school.
Me: No, I'm good.
...
Dad: What about these water bottles?
Me: I have a water bottle. I'll be fine.
...
Dad: Are you sure you don't want these water bottles?
Me: Yes.
...
Dad: I'm putting these water bottles in this bag here, along with some vitamins.
Me: *ignores the bag*
...
Dad: *brings the bag to the truck*
Me: *sigh*
--------------------------------------
Dad: *puts a new A/C in my room so I can sleep during the day (I had a night job, and it was way hot down here)* Do you know how it works?
Me: Um, I'll figure it out.
Dad: *goes over and launches into an in-depth explanation on what each control does and how to use it*
--------------------------------------
Me: *calls Dad to have him bring extra boxes for my moving out of the dorm*
Dad: Will you be needing any trash bags?
Me: No, I think I have plenty.
...
*rinse, lather, repeat*
....
Dad: Are you sure you won't need any extra trash bags?
Me: *sigh* If it'll make you happy...
-------------------------------------

(Admittedly this habit, while less frustrating in this form, seriously pisses me off in other situations; it's pretty much a "no matter what you say/feel/want, you don't really have a choice; I'm going to do what I think is best" sort of attitude.)

[Galen]

"I sometimes think that people’s hearts are like deep wells. Nobody knows what’s at the bottom. All you can do is imagine by what comes floating to the surface every once in a while.” -Haruki Murakami

"Pretty much anything else I've ever said" -Haruki Murakami

"If a person has ugly thoughts, it begins to show on the face. And when that person has ugly thoughts every day, every week, every year, the face gets uglier and uglier until you can hardly bear to look at it. A person who has good thoughts cannot ever be ugly. You can have a wonky nose and a crooked mouth and a double chin and stick-out teeth, but if you have good thoughts it will shine out of your face like sunbeams and you will always look lovely." -Roald Dahl

"You're all a bunch of fucking phonies" -J.D. Salinger (paraphrased)

Delta ST - do you like killing people and jumping off flats?

Delta NF - Yes, yes, yes, I just LOVE that statement.

Delta ST - do you like killing people and jumping off flats?

Delta NF - Yes, yes, yes, I just LOVE that statement.

That sounds like beta things to say actually.

[Kogoro Akechi]

''I'm not a business minded person, I'm a knowledge seeker.''

''War is the last thing come in my mind. First thing first, I'd go with learning and arts.''

''No drug, suicide, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and power.''

[Absurd]

That sounds like beta things to say actually.

Of course. I have no "delta quotes" to share and those are completely made up if you haven't noticed it yet. I can do the same with any kind of quotes, that is, I can make is sound gamma and so on. Easy.

[Kogoro Akechi]

"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don't believe in magic will never find it." -Roald Dahl.

''Love is Blue.''

[Kogoro Akechi]

''I'm selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can't handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don't deserve me at my best.''

''Our first intuitions are the true ones.''

''We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be.''
