Write a Sentence that Could go Down in History as a Famous Quote

'I hope that one day, we will honor each other's myths for what they are...the blankets of fire we wrap around us in the cold winters of truth.' MoonVenom


I just accepted MoonVenom's application to my group 'World Religions Athiest Agnostic Debate' and before I did I noticed the above quote on her page, written by herself. It's quite amazing so I'd like you to come up with an astounding sentence that's so good people will want to remember it.

The contest is mainly for my two groups 'World Religions Athiest Agnostic Debate':

http://allpoetry.com/group/info/World%20Religions%20Athiest%20and%20Agnostic%20Debate?stay=1

And 'Out of the Tomb Rising from Addiction':

http://allpoetry.com/group/info/Out%20Of%20The%20Tomb%20Rising%20From%20Addiction?stay=1

But it's open to everyone.

The sentence must be your own original words.

It doesn't have to be a serious one!


I'm suffering from a health condition and it's got worse lately so bear with me. I'll judge the contest when I can.

      I don't doubt for a moment that you can do amazing! (It doesn't have to be serious)

      • Does that mean you think I can't be serious?
        I once tried to write a humorous poem, I couldn't! I think I do serious better, which is way different to what I'm like lol.

          See what I did there? lol

          • Lol you said lmao. Hehe.
