Quotes

[Skias onar]

T.Wolfe
Nacked and alone we came into exile. In her dark womb we did not know our mother's face; from the prison of her flesh have we come into the unspeakable and incommunicable prison of this earth. Which of us has known his brother? Which of us has looked into his father's heart? Which of us has not remained forever prison-pent? Which of us is not forever stranger and alone? ~Look Homeward, Angel


Stephen King
All is forgotten in the stone halls of the dead. These are the rooms of ruin where the spiders spin and the great circuits fall quiet one by one. ~The Dark Tower  

[Trinity of Light]

"I simply must get through!" (Alice)
"Sorry, you're much too big. Simply impassible." (Doorknob)
"You mean impossible?"
"No, impassible. Nothing's impossible."
From the classic, Alice In Wonderland

"With me poetry has not been a purpose, but a passion."
Edgar Allan Poe  

[Firebird1973]

These are two from The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, which is one of my favorite books. It has a million great quotes, including a ton about readers and love of books. Anyway, two examples:

"I don't want to be married just to be married. I can't think of anything lonelier than spending the rest of my life with someone I can't talk to, or worse, someone I can't be silent with."


"That's what I love about reading: one tiny thing will interest you in a book, and that tiny thing will lead you onto another book, and another bit there will lead you onto a third book. It's geometrically progressive-all with no end in sight, and for no other reason than sheer enjoyment."

Ooh, and Alice in Wonderland has a ton of hilarious ones that make absolutely no sense, and ones that make a lot of sense in a quirky way (like the one in the post above this). I'll see if I can find some...  

[Colonel T-Bone]

This is from "The War of Three Waters" by Douglas Niles (last in a trilogy)

"Yet there was a glimmer of bad news as well, for when Reaper looked westward he saw no sign of the bloodtrains, the great, stone-wheeled wagons that carried the Sleepstealer's nectar. Without Darkblood to sustain the tireless legions, the army's advance must inevitably grind to a frustrating, if temporary, halt. It had been reported that a freak rainstorm had left the tracks a sea of mud, slowing the great wagons across the entire front. Unfortunately, the infuriated Talon of Dassadec had eaten the messenger before he had learned just how late those supplies would be.

I've got two. But the first one is actually from a movie. Sorry, but I can't stop myself!

"I see no point in living if I can't be beautiful."
~Howell Jenkins, Howl's Moving Castle

I love you for posting that rofl

I've just read the book now (I don't know where it's been all my life), so...

Quote:

Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die.

And the upgraded version much later...

"Hello! Hello. My name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!"
"No!"
"Offer me money--"
"Everything." The Count said.
"Power too. Promise me that."
"All I have and more. Please."
"Offer me anything I ask for."
"Yes. Yes. Say it."
"I want Domingo Montoya, you son of a b****."

- Inigo Montoya; "The Princess Bride"  

[Epic Irony]

"There are two things of which I am completely certain. The universe is infinite and ever-expanding, and the stupidity of humans as a whole. And I'm not exactly sure about the universe." ~ Albert Einstein

"Mary had a little lamb, and the doctor fainted." ~ Anonymous.

"Speaking of Anonymous, read my signature." ~ Me.

"Pie is amazing!" ~ Matt, from Riot, Chapter 1. (The book I'm currently writing.)  

[mythological irony]

"You guys really need to be more careful with security. The back door was unlocked, and I found a guy raiding your fridge. Don't worry, though, I took care of him for you. Oh, was he one of yours? Damn. I'm really sorry about that."

--Antonio Sorrentino, Frostbitten

"You don't let a woman talk for you, do you?"
"Usually. They're better at it."

--Eddie Tesler and Antonio Sorrentino, Frostbitten

"I think I know what he did. Or tried to do, because if he'd succeeded..."
"I'd be an emotional wreck?"
"No, I was thinking more 'covered in blood and bits of the b*****d.'"

--Nick Sorrentino and Elena Michaels, Frostbitten

"You got lost...with a GPS?"

--Elena Michaels, Frostbitten
