B&A? What's your all-time FAVORITE book quote?

My favorite book quote is:

"We're all human, aren't we? Every human life is worth the same, and worth saving."

Said by Kingsley in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (My favorite book ever)...

This whole chunk:

Frodo: I can't do this, Sam.

Sam: I know. It's all wrong. By rights we shouldn't even be here. But we are. It's like in the great stories, Mr. Frodo. The ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger, they were. And sometimes you didn't want to know the end. Because how could the end be happy? How could the world go back to the way it was when so much bad had happened? But in the end, it's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. Those were the stories that stayed with you. That meant something, even if you were too small to understand why. But I think, Mr. Frodo, I do understand. I know now. Folk in those stories had lots of chances of turning back, only they didn't. They kept going. Because they were holding on to something.

Frodo: What are we holding on to, Sam?

Sam: That there's some good in this world, Mr. Frodo... and it's worth fighting for.

Martin Bhooth, Gweilo -

I realised that everything one counted upon can come crashing down in less than the time it took for a double math class. I also realised that while it is one thing to live in a large box, a cockloft, or even between the shafts of a rikshaw, it s quite another to loose everything.

(I love it so much... I read it again n again n i ended up byhearting it)

Artemis Fowl and The Lost Colony-

Butler - So how was the longest conversation you ever had with a girl of your own age?

Artemis - Fabulous. We are planning a June wedding.

Lets just keep it to 2... There are sooo many....

Haha thats good. At first Im like "OH NO NOT ANOTHER TWILIGHT QUESTION!" lol. But its all good, no worries. 1.Who's better: Edward Cullen [Twilight] or Edward Elric [FullMetal Alchemist]? Ed Elric considering he is youngest State Alchemist ever and because I like his character 10 times better than Edward. Elric doesnt sparkle, thus making him cooler in my opinion. 2. Which would win: Twilight Vampires VS Bleach Shinigamis? Bleach shinigamis. They can go all bankai on the vampires before they are able to kill them. 3. Which would win: Twilight werewolves VS Meisters/Weapons from Soul Eater? The meisters/weapons from Soul Eater without a doubt! 4. Who's a better mind reader: Edward Cullen [Twilight] or Mao [Code Geass]? Mao! Although Cullen isnt insane he still would be able to beat Mao, Mao's to smart to go down like that! 5. Which is better: Volturi [Twilight] VS Vongola Mafia [Katekyo Hitman Reborn!]? The Mafia Family! Hibari could basically kill the Volturi in a heartbeat! ======================================..... Oh well my bankai can beat your bankai! lol. Just kidding! I'll definetley star! * :-P

Lord of the Rings: Two Towers. Sam, "It's like the great stories Mr. Frodo, the ones that really mattered. Full of darkness and danger they were, and sometimes you didn't want to know the ending, because how could the end be happy. How could the world go back to the way it was after so much bad had happened? But in the end, its a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer."

"Those who don't believe in magic will never find it."

(Roald Dahl).

"There comes a time when the world gets quiet and the only thing left is your own heart. So you'd better learn the sound of it. Otherwise you'll never understand what it's saying."

— Sarah Dessen (Just Listen)

"It's a lot easier to be lost than found. It's the reason we're always searching and rarely discovered--so many locks not enough keys."

— Sarah Dessen (Lock and Key)

"I always thought love made you stupid. Made you weak. A bad shadowhunter. To love is to destroy. I believed that. And then I met you. You were a mundane. Weak. Not a fighter. Never trained. And then I saw how much you loved your mother, loved Simon, and how you'd walk into hell to save them.------ Love didn't make you weak, it made you stronger than anyone I'd ever met. And I realized I was the one who was weak."

"Just because you call an electric eel a rubber duck doesn't make it a rubber duck, does it? And God help the poor bastard who decides they want to take a bath with the duckie." - Jace, P.83 City of Bones

"Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing." - Harper Lee

"how necessary it is to ignore the dangers of living in order to live" the nature of jade by deb calitti or something like that. This isn't an all time favorite but it's one I loved and had already typed :p

And practically every line in John greens books. That man is my hero. Go read any of his books you an get your hands on. Sarah dessen books also have amazing quotes too.

"Call me Ishmael. Some years ago -- never mind how long precisely -- having little or no money in my purse, and nothing particular to interest me on shore, I thought I would sail about a little and see the watery part of the world. It is a way I have of driving off the spleen and regulating the circulation. Whenever I find myself growing grim about the mouth; whenever it is a damp, drizzly November in my soul; whenever I find myself involuntarily pausing before coffin warehouses, and bringing up the rear of every funeral I meet;..." -- from "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville, published 1851, sold only 50 (?) copies in its first year.

These are merely a few of many:

"There once was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it." (The Voyage of the Dawn Treader ~ C.S. Lewis)

"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife." (Pride and Prejudice ~ Jane Austen)

"Whether I shall turn out to be the hero of my own life, or whether that station will be held by anybody else, these pages must show." (David Copperfield ~ Charles Dickens)

"It is our choices, Harry, that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities." (Albus Dumbledore in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets ~ J.K. Rowling)

"He was born with a gift of laughter and a sense that the world was mad." (Scaramouche ~ Rafael Sabatini)

My all time favourite book quote is from chapter 16 of Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte.

It's from the scene where Heathcliff has just been told that his soul mate Cathy has died and he is standing in her garden by a tree pleading with her spirit not to leave him.

"'And I pray one prayer,I repeat it till my tongue stiffens, Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living; you said I killed you - haunt me, then! The murdered do haunt their murderers, I believe. I know that ghosts have wandered on earth. Be with me always, take any form, drive me mad! Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! it is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!'"

Oh, would some Power the gift to give us

To see ourselves as others see us

~ Robert Burns, "To A Louse"

She wasted all her school time wanting to be the age she is now, and she'll waste all the rest of her life trying to stay that age.

~ Lady Polly, from "The Last Battle" by C.S. Lewis

I like to think of my behavior in the sixties as a "learning experience". Then again, I like to think of anything stupid I've done as a "learning experience". It makes me feel less stupid.

~ P.J. O'Rourke, I think from "Give War A Chance"

For of all sad words of tongue or pen,

The saddest are these: "It might have been."

~ John Wittier, "Maud Muller"
