What is everyone's favourite quote from a book?
I can't remember mine off the top of my head.
But I'll surely post it when I think of it.

Byes for now.

My two fave quotes are:

1) It opens the lungs, washes the countenance, exercises the eyes and softens the temper; so cry away - Charles Dickens

2) Faithless is he who says farewell when the road darkens - J.R.R Tolkien

Hehe love em!

Wow they are awesome!

I found mine!!

"You must understand, sir, that a person is either with this court or he must be counted against it, there be no road between. This is a sharp time, now, a precise time—we live no longer in the dusky afternoon when evil mixed itself with good and befuddled the world. Now, by God’s grace, the shining sun is up, and them that fear not light will surely praise it." - Danforth, The Crucible (its a play)

"Let either of you breathe a word, or the edge of a word, about the other things, and I will come to you in the black of some terrible night and I will bring a pointy reckoning that will shudder you. And you know I can do it; I saw Indians smash my dear parents’ heads on the pillow next to mine, and I have seen some reddish work done at night, and I can make you wish you had never seen the sun go down!" - Abigail, The Crucible
(is that not the most epicly evil thing that a 17 year old girl could say to her friends just to save her skin? Love it! lol)
(so many great quotes from this play)

"I reject your reality and substitute my own" - Adam Savage

"I'm sorry my responses are limited, you must ask the right questions." iRobot

Awesome! Wow, scary 17 year old!

If I find any more I'll post them

It's not from a book but still...

"If voting changed anything it would be illegal." - My dad

Haha I love it!!

Kerstin

My all round favourite quote is what Kerstin's dad said. Ha I like him already. But apart from that I like these:

"Not all who wander are lost." J.R.R. Tolkien

"Between two evils, I always pick the one I haven't tried before." Mae West

"Because of their size, parents may be hard to discipline properly." P.J.O'Rourke

Seems we are quoting dads I shall quote mine

*dad farts* "OOO trod on a duck!"
Or
*dad farts* "OOO juicy fruity!"

my dad is odd, he says some stupid stuff, some funny stuff, but also some things that are almost philosophical. But I cant think of any.

Thats all for now.

"I am Hekat, precious and beautiful. Slave to no man! The god sees me in his eyes, and Hekat lives to serve." -Hekat in Empress by Karen Miller

"There are no brave men and cowardly men in the world, my son. There are only brave men. To be born, to live, to die - that takes courage enough in itself, and more than enough. We are all brave men and we are all afraid, and what the world calls a brave man, he, too, is brave and afraid like all the rest of us. Only he is brave for five minutes longer." Andrea in The Guns of Navarone by Alistair Maclean
