Which of these quotes is the most fitting?

Question

I'm a skydiver and need a good quote for a piece I'm doing. (A collage of clips and other stuff.) So far I've found 3 that I like. The only problem is that they're all so different! Which do you think is the most fitting?

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all." Helen Keller

"We have only this moment, sparkling like a star in our hand - and melting like a snowflake." Marie B. Ray

"Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once." William Shakespeare

Answer 1

I like the third one. Not to offend anybody, but wouldn't it be really ironic to quote Helen Keller in a skydiving collage? No lie, hand to God, I was at Davis and Elkins College, and they had a river rafting pamphlet with that same Keller Quote. It blew my mind. I just had this image of her whitewater rafting. Shame on me.

Answer 2

the first one is simple and sweet you should choose that one.

Answer 3

I love them all. If you could find a way to incorporate more than one that would be great!

The important thing is to pick a quote that you love that is meaningful to you. If you aren't sure then don't settle. Search the web a bit and find that quote that just pops out at you! The one that gives you goosebumps when you relate it to yourself is the right one.

Good luck! : )

Answer 4

I really like the second one.  If you really want something with great imagery that will POP I'd say pick that one.  However, the first one does seem to fit skydiving a lot better.  Nothing about that is questionable as to how it relates to the subject, while the others are a bit iffy (they're still fabulous quotes). If people weren't being biased about the sources of the quote, then I think they's all might think that the quote "Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all" could've actually been said by someone who loves skydiving :)

Answer 5

"Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all." Helen Keller

Answer 6

They're all wonderful, but the second's imagery is out of this world. Shakespeare takes a while to sink in and the first is a bit mundane.

Answer 7

Star in hand.    I never did understand the Helen Keller one.

Answer 8

"If at first you don't succeed....so much for skydiving".

Henny Youngman

"The sky isn't falling".

Thomas Leonard

"Women hold up half the sky".

Mao Tse Tung

"I have woven a parachute out of everything broken".

William Stafford

(of the ones you chose I like the first one best)

Answer 9

hiye!!!

i actually love all of them but my fav out of those have to be....

"Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once." William Shakespeare

i like this one quote too that might fit in to your piece nicely...

"The journey of a thousand miles begins with one step." Lao Tzu

good luck with your finished product!!
