"To die, will be an awfully big adventure''

-Peter Pan, in Peter Pan

"I'll freakin' annihilate you."- India Cohen, "Buffy the Vampire Slayer: The Book of Fours".

You sort of have to read that part to understand the hilarity.

Sirius Black saying something like, "The world isn't just us and the Death Eaters, Harry." to Harry Potter, in OotP.

It really struck a chord with me, for that's really the root of it all- you can't divide people into groups and just think, "Okay, now everyone in those groups is the exact same.", because that'll get you nowhere. In HP, for instance, yes, there are the Death Eaters and the Order of the Phoenix, but can you really expect the world to just be black and white? Because it's not, and it'll never be. The world isn't a fairytale where everyone's either a 'good guy' or a 'bad guy', and too many people expect it to be.

I never really was a fan of Sirius, but him saying that really made me like him more...

I read this really beautiful yet extremely twisted book a few weeks ago, and there were lots of great quotes in there.



This is after the narrator's best friend sets himself on fire and dies from the flames, from living with the memory of pedophilia from their old choir director. The narrator found out before any of the others, but he didn't tell anybody because he was ashamed, and because he never told, his best friend had to go through the same thing that he could have prevented.

Reading that paragraph sent chills up my spine. It's really got the missing black hole of childhood innocence all described in a nutshell.

Right now, the first thing I can think of is this, from Chuck Palanhuik's Choke:

"Well then, I guess I'm crazy." "That's life."

and then, the whole, "thermodynamic miracle" passage from The Watchmen, although that's too long for me to try and type out at four in the morning.

I like alot of quotes. But, my favorite quote is going to have to be:

"Tomorrow's another day, best be prepared"

This is from a Star Wars book im reading.

"Never judge a man until you walk two moons in his moccasins." ~ Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech. I love that book.

I've started a collection of quotes, so I can answer to questions like this but since my work isn't finished yet, I'll just give ya a random quote currently struck in my head:
"It could be worse. It could be me." -Rincewind, a lot of times

"Man is the only real enemy we have. Remove Man from the scene, and the root cause of hunger and overwork is abolished for ever. Man is the only creature that consumes without producing. He does not give milk, he does not lay eggs, he is too weak to pull the plough, he cannot run fast enough to catch rabbits. Yet he is lord of all the animals." - Old Major of Animal Farm.

Anything Marvin from Hitchhikers says.

Plus, there's a lot of quotage I like in Fight Club.

"There's a reason why we're born with brains in our heads, not rocks." - Brom from Eragon by Christopher Paolini

I'm sorry if this isn't the exact quote, but I don't have the book infront of me.

"If you want to take a look at what a man is like, look at how he treats his inferiors, not his equals." I'm pretty sure Sirius Black said it in PoA

It's not a 'favorite' per se, but I just came across it and was highly amused.

"On reason for the bustle was that over large parts of the continent other people preferred to make money without working at all, and since the Disc had yet to develop a music recording industry they were forced fall back on older, more traditional forms of banditry."

From Equal Rites by Terry Pratchett

Basically everything Dumbledore says in the HP series. I can't even pick which one, but I have a special preference for those in the sixth book. Especially at the end.

"The band's manager was profoundly relieved. It meant that for the seventeenth time on this tour the drums would be played by a robot and that therefore the timing of the cymbalistics would be right." -- The Restaurant at the End of the Universe, Doublas Adams.

*snicker* Personal meaning, I joke to all my percussionist friends that they can't play in time.
