Quotes

And I thought that all those little kids are going to grow up someday. And all of those little kids are going to do the things that we do. And they will all kiss someone someday. But for now, sledding is enough. I think it would be great if sledding were always enough, but it isn't.
-Charlie, The Perks of Being a Wallflower
There were so many amazing quotes in that book.

"You always make me laugh," I told him. "I would have laughed at you under that cemetary in Paris, except it didn't seem the kind of thing to do. And even when you cursed me and blamed me for all the stories about us, that was funny too. If you hadn't been about to throw me off a tower, I would have laughed. You always make me laugh."
Lestat to Armand, The Vampire Lestat

"Do you know, I always thought unicorns were fabulous monsters, too? I never saw one alive before!"
"Well, now that we have seen each other," said the unicorn, "if you'll believe in me, I'll believe in you."
- Through the Looking-Glass, Lewis Carroll.

I've only recently started to collect quotes - recently being yesterday - so I just have the one just now:

"Beauty and fear make uneasy companions."
- Inkheart, Cornelia Funke.

But I love everything Dumbledore ever said.
As well as pretty much everything Bartimaeus from the Bartimaeus trilogy said.

Tom Fletcher.:

"For future reference, Harry, it is raspberry...although of course, if I were a Death Eater, I would have been sure to research my own jam preferences before impersonating myself."- Dumbledore. :tehe:

I laughed for about 5 minutes at that one :XD

"I would have struck you with my sharp spear fair in the middle, and instead of your marriage your father would have been busy with your funeral here. Let none display any rudeness here in my house." Odysseus by Homer ( Book Twenty, lines 306-309)

I have to say... my favorite quote would be
"Just hold on, the pain will always go away." Its something from some random part of Miracle's Boys and i don't even know what chapter. I read it five years ago and its the only part of the book I remember.

Both from The Tale of the Body Thief by Anne Rice:

And my dark soul is happy again, because it does not know how to do anything else for very long, and because the pain is a deep, dark sea in which I would drown if I did not sail my little craft steadily over the surface, steadily to a sun which will never rise.

"Have you suffered in my absence?" I asked, looking back at the altar.
Very soberly, he answered, "It was pure hell."
I didn't reply.
"Each risk you take hurts me," he said. "But that is my concern and my fault."
(Lestat and Louis)

"Why, you are a common burglar."
"So you might describe me," said Holmes cheerfully. "My companion is also a dangerous ruffian, and together we are going through your house."

"It is not for me, my dear Watson, to stand in the way of the official police force."

"It would be superfluous to drive us mad, my dear Watson," said he. "A candid observer would certainly declare that we were already so before we embarked
upon so a wild an experiment."

"How do you know that?"
"I followed you."
"I saw no one."
"That is what you may expect to see when I follow you."

"You and I, Watson, have done our part. Shall the world, then, be overrun by oysters?"

All from various Sherlock Holmes stories
ACD makes the best quotes.

“If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...Would you slow down? Or speed up?”
it's Chuck Palahniuk but I forgot what book.

"Pathetic, pathetic! With the whole world of ear-related humour before you, you go for holey?" Fred Weasley.

Anything by the twins really :lmfao

Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me.
New Moon.

I know that there aren't many Twilight fans on here but I just couldn't stop myself.

'Have at thee, coward!' - Tybalt in act 1, Romeo and Juliet.

'Let lips do what hands do,' R&J

“In anyone's life there can be only a few such moments - moments when a long, ringing hush fills your hearing, the world stands still as if under a magic spell, and thoughts and feelings course freely through your being, traversing the whole of eternity in the duration of a minute, so that when time resumes and you return from whatever nameless, dazzling void you briefly inhabited, you find yourself changed, changed irrevocably, and from then on, whether you want it or not, your life flows in a different direction. This was such a moment for me.”

"I'm talking about art! Art is not about some common purpose or noble mission. It's an expression of an artist's soul, his individual, titanic struggle to rise above the ordinary, to speak a word unheard before, to extract an unexpected, mysterious, radiant nugget of beauty from the many obscure layers of our existance, to glimpse a bit of the infinite in everyday life - and truly great art comes to us like an ecstatic revelation, it sets our whole being on fire!"
- Both from The Dream Life of Sukhanov, by Olga Grushin.

“I remember not long ago hearing Picasso and Gertrude Stein talking about various things that had happened at that time, one of them said but all that could not have happened in that one year, oh said the other, my dear you forget we were young then and we did a great deal in a year.”

“Sure, she said, as Pablo once remarked, when you make a thing, it is so complicted in making it that it is bound to be ugly, but those that do it after you they don't have to worry about making it and they can make it pretty, and so everybody can like it when the others make it.”

“When I first knew Gertrude Stein in Paris I was surprised never to see a french book on her table, although there were always plenty of english ones, there were even no french newspapers. But do you never read french, I as well as many other people asked her. No, she replied, you see I feel with my eyes and it does not make any difference to me what language I hear, I don't hear a language, I hear tones of voice and rhythms, but with my eyes I see words and sentences and there is for me only one language and that is english. One of the things I have liked all these years is to be surrounded by people who know no english. It has left me more intensely alone with my eyes and my english. I do not know if it would have been possible to have english be so all in all to me otherwise. And they none of them could read a word I wrote, most of them did not even know that I did write. No, I like living with so very many people and being all alone with english and myself.”
- All from The Autobiography of Alice B. Toklas by Gertrude Stein.

He's in Hollywood. That isn't too far from this crumby place, and he comes over and visits me practically every week end. He's going to drive me home when I go home next month maybe. He's just got a Jaguar

Catcher In The Rye - J.D Salinger

I love A person is, among all else, a material thing, easily torn and not easily mended. -Atonement.

My favourite quote from a book ever.

The ships hung in the air in much the same way that bricks don't. :lmfao
- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Douglas Adams.

"The resistance is very real, Winston." - Nineteen Eighty-Four, George Orwell.

"Put away your dark looks little storm cloud."
-Lyam to Arutha in Silverthron

It's cute :tehe:

"But there are a thousand ways to look at it: maybe the strings break, or maybe our ships sink, or maybe we're grass - our roots so interdependent that no one is dead as long as someone is still alive. We don't suffer from a shortage of metaphors, is what I mean. But you have to be careful which metaphor you choose, because it matters. If you choose the strings, then you're imagining a world in which you can become irreparably broken. If you choose the grass, you're saying that we are all infinitely interconnected, that we can use these root systems not only to understand one another but to become one another. The metaphors have implications."

Paper Towns by John Green

"Run naked through your fears."
Taryn, from The Beginner's Guide To Living by Lia Hills.

"It was the shock of realizing that he wasn't immune to shit." - Nathan I believe, from Confessions of a Shopaholic: Shoaholic Takes Manhattan. :)
