Favorite Book Quote

[Original Freak]

Inspired by the Favorite movie line thread I'm starting two others.

First the Favorite book quote. If you are going to start posting bible quotes (seeing as this is a religious message board) then try to keep it to a minimum. Otherwise we'll have the whole text on here.

I'll start with one, since that's all I can remember right now.

"Why is there a fish in my ear?"

Aurthor Dent in Hitchickers Guide to the Galaxy

 

[Watcher]

"Since when do you have to tell the enemy it has won??"
Mazar Rackham: "Enders Game"

This emotion I'm feeling now, this is love, right?"
"I don't know. Is it a longing? Is it a giddy stupid happiness just because you're with me?"
"Yes," she said.
"That's influenza," said Miro. "Watch for nausea or diarrhea within a few hours."

Children of the Mind​

​

​

"Religion and fear. Fear and religion. The two have been historically entwined since the beginning of time, catalysts for most of the atrocities committed by man"​

DOMAIN (might not have been exact wording, but very close)​

​

"The man in black fled across the desert and the gunslinger followed"​

​

"Go then, there are other worlds than these."​

Dark Tower I

"You didn't let me fall this time." His voice was no more than a hoarse whisper. "No. Not this time, and not ever again."​

​

" ‘I do not aim with my hand; she who aims with her hand has forgotten the face of her father.​

" 'I aim with my eye.' "​

"Good."​

" ‘I do not shoot with my hand; she who shoots with her hand has forgotten the face of her father.​

" ‘I shoot with my mind.' "​

"So it has ever been, Susannah Dean."​

" 'I do not kill with my gun; she who kills with her gun has forgotten the face of her father.​

" 'I kill with my heart.' "​

"Then KILL them, for your father's sake!" Roland shouted. "KILL THEM ALL!" (Susannah and Roland, page 12?)​

Dark Tower III​

Ok..I'll stop there. I could drone on about the Dark Tower for ages.​

[Quoth The Raven]

'So after a hectic week of believing that war was peace, that good was bad, that the moon was made of blue cheese, and that God needed a lot of money sent to a certain box number, the Monk started to believe that thirty-five percent of all tables were hermaphrodites, and then broke down.'

I liked this one from Piers Anthony's Incarnations of Immortality.
Servent: And when there is no more war, you will go to either Heaven or Hell depending on how you did your job as the Incarnation of War.
Mym: But I don't want to go to Heaven.
Servent: Excuse me!?
Mym: Im a Hindu, I want to achieve Nirvana when I die, not go to Heaven.
