Your favourite quotes by MK
« on: September 18, 2014, 11:03:25 PM »
Hi all, I think it's a good time to start a topic like that, because a lot of people online here on AMIT right now.

We all know, apart from his storytelling and playing, that Mark is also a great philosopher with an old-school alpha male masculinity and all that stuff. And I want to ask, that's your personal favourite MK quote(s)? The goal is not to collect a generally known quotes, like on a BrainyQuote site but something relatively new and rare. And it's cool to actually know where and when exactly Mark said that. I'll begin with my own choices:

My idea of heaven is a place where the Tyne meets the Delta, where folk music meets the blues.

Take a hammer to the sea belles
And shout my name
And I'll sail the seas as free as a breeze
That's my claim to fame

"You and me babe, how about it..."

but I guess you don't mean the lyrics, so how about this one:

"When your dreams are come true, as it were, they never come true quite the way that you think that they will.
Reality is never what a dream is. But it's better than nothing, and I would still rather be trying to make my dreams come true.
I think that's still something to go for."
