Voilà! In view, a humble vaudevillian veteran, cast vicariously as both victim and villain by the vicissitudes of fate. This visage, no mere veneer of vanity, is a vestige of the vox populi, now vacant, vanished. However, this valorous visitation of a bygone vexation stands vivified, and has vowed to vanquish these venal and virulent vermin vanguarding vice and vouchsafing the violently vicious and voracious violation of volition. The only verdict is vengeance; a vendetta held as a votive, not in vain, for the value and veracity of such shall one day vindicate the vigilant and the virtuous. Verily, this vichyssoise of verbiage veers most verbose vis-à-vis an introduction, so let me simply add that it's my very good honour to meet you and you may call me V.

“No one ever choked to death swallowing his pride”

“Temper gets you into trouble. Pride keeps you there.”

“A proud man is always looking down on things and people; and, of course, as long as you're looking down, you can't see something that's above you.”

And I also have a quote from Vincent Valentine in my signature. I have many quotes I like, but I can't afford to post them all here, it would take too long.

"Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, creeps in this petty pace from day to day; to the last syllable of recorded time; and all our yesterdays have lighted fools the way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow; a poor player that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more. It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. "
This was said by Macbeth in the play Macbeth, written by Shakespheare.

That is nice. xP I had to memorize that for a small 10 point assignment in grade nine.

But my favorite quote may be: "We could learn a lot from crayons. Some are sharp, some are pretty, some are dull, some have weird names and all have different colors... but they all exist very nicely in the same box"

Next would come: "Some people are like a Slinky: not really good for anything but you still can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs" lol! I got a t-shirt with this on it, but somehow it disapeared.
