Knowing that GP has a plethora of readers on board....
What are some of your favorite lines?
One of mine comes from Pride & Prejudice (Austen):
"It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife."
*grin*
Your turn! Tell us the line, the author, and the book it comes from, too, please.
:beret:
How about song lyrics too?
"I slipped out my dreams like a baby out of a nurse's hands onto the hard floor of day."
from "When You Give It Away" by Bruce Cockburn
Ill come back to this...maybe.
Alrighty then, Titus. :grin: In that case....

OK, here are a few quotes I found from some of my favorite books and movies:
Books
I try to be humble in my own simple way, but it is very hard. People keep telling me how great I am.
~ Narrator, James (a.k.a., Slippery Jim) deGriz, The Return of The Stainless Steel Rat
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. ...The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who do survive.
~ Frank Herbert, Dune
Truth is subject to too much analysis.
~ Frank Herbert, Dune
If you think of yourselves as helpless and ineffectual, it is certain that you will create a despotic government to be your master. The wise despot, therefore, maintains among his subjects a popular sense that they are helpless and ineffectual.
~ Frank Herbert, The Dosadi Experiment
All governments suffer a recurring problem: Power attracts pathological personalities. It is not that power corrupts but that it is magnetic to the corruptable. Such people have a tendency to become drunk on violence, a condition to which they are quickly addicted.
~ Frank Herbert, Chapterhouse Dune, Missionaria Protectiva
Humans live best when each has a place to stand, when each knows where he belongs in the scheme of things and what he may achieve.
~ Frank Herbert, Dune
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.
~ J. R. R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
Many that live deserve death. And some die that deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then be not too eager to deal out death in the name of justice, fearing for your own safety. Even the wise cannot see all ends.
~ J. R. R. Tolkien, The Lord Of the Rings, Book Four, Chapter One
"All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others."
~ George Orwell, Animal Farm
Movies
"I was born a poor black child."
~ Steve Martin, The Jerk
"Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life, son."
~ Dean Wormer, Animal House
"And remember, students, if you can't be an athlete, be an athletic supporter."
~ H.S. Principal, Grease
"Oh Stewardess. I speak Jive"
~ Barbara Billingsley (a.k.a., Mrs. June Cleaver), Airplane
"Last night, Darth Vader came down from planet Vulcan and told me that if I didn't take Lorraine to the dance that he'd melt my brain."
~ George McFly, Back to the Future
"I've been going to this high school for seven and a half years. I'm no dummy."
~ Charles De Mar, Better Off Dead
"Gee, I'm really sorry your mom blew up, Ricky,..."
~ Lane Myer, Better Off Dead
"Well, it's a well known fact, Sonny Jim, that there's a secret society of the five wealthiest people in the world, known as, 'The Pentavirate', who run everything in the world, including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually at a secret country mansion in Colorado, known as, 'The Meadows'."
~ Stuart MacKenzie, So I Married An Axe Murderer
"Ooooh man! I was having an amazing dream! ..... I was just born, and... I was eight-and-a-half months premature. The doctors were flowerin' out."
~ Pilot, So I Married An Axe Murderer
Katzenback (pointing his index finger in accusation): Now you listen to me, Junior. Don't you think that I don't know what's going on, because I do know, and now you know that I know.
Walt Whalen Junior (pointing his own index finger back in reply): Listen, I don't know what you know that I know, but I do know that you don't know what you think you know.
Katzenback: Oh no?
Walt Whalen Junior: No.
~ From Radioland Murders
Wild Writer (played by Bobcat Goldwaith): What if the wife smashes him over the head with a frying pan, and then chops him up into hundreds of tiny pieces with her shiny new carving knife?
Other Writers (a bit shocked): No, I don't think so. ... It's a family show!
Wild Writer: Okay, well ... what if she does it to the whole family?
Other Writers (in unison): NO!
~ From Radioland Murders
"Oh! It was the killer, alright! I saw him. He was... horrible! He was a tall guy..., short too. And he was wearing this really nice suit, though it was kinda shabby. And he,... and he had blackish, brownish, reddish, blondish, kinda whitish hair. And, and he definitely went downstairs, or, or maybe it was up.
~ Billy, Radioland Murders
"Look at the size of that boy's heed. ..... I'm not kidding, it's like an orange on a toothpick. ....., that's a huge noggin. That's a virtual planetoid. .... Has it's own weather system. .... I'm not kidding, that boy's head is like Sputnik; spherical but quite pointy at parts! ... Now that was offsides, wasn't it? He'll be crying himself to sleep tonight, on his huge pilla."
~ Stuart MacKenzie, So I Married An Axe Murderer
I don't have any favorite lines. In fact, I detest lines. I hate standing in them, I hate waiting for them, I hate how slow most of them move. If I had my way, I'd never wait in another line ever again.
Now, lines on paper are good, they help me write straight.
Whoa! MichaelK is fast becoming a pinkwinker! :o

There is this song called The Machine Gun song by Bang sugar Bang. Very angry song I guess, but in a halarious way, and there is a line that goes, "and if i could be anything I'd be land mine, cause the next time you step on me would really be the last time." That line just CRACKS me up. lol.
"just one more breath, i beg you please
just one more step, my knees are weak
my heart is sturdy but it needs you to survive
my heart is sturdy but it needs you...
breathe, don't you wanna breathe
i know that you are strong enough to handle what i need
my capillaries scream, there's nothing left to feed on
my body needs a reason to cross that line
will you carry me there one more time
- Dashboard Confessional Reason to believe
love that whole song, its one big great line.... but ill spare yall. lol.
"This is my forty-fifth depressing tune."
- from "Anything" by Sixpence None the Richer
There's a line from an old Meatloaf song that cracked me up the first time I heard it -- "If you want my views of history then there's something you should know, the three men I admire most are Curly, Larry, Moe." I can just imagine the twisted view of history a person must have if his heroes are the Three Stooges.

Nothing in particular at the moment, but I really liked Mark Twain's ability to turn a phrase. I liked Jack London's ability to depress the snot out of a person, and Dickens' to make you feel sorry for whomever he wished.
Dickens also did great villains.
JD, Stainless Steel Rat was a favorite of mine as a teenager!
a new favorite line in my signature line. Plus like half that book was a great line.
Quote from: JoleneHeather on July 25, 2007, 04:30:26 PM

I don't get it. Would you mind sharing what that line means to you?
its a line from the book "The Book Thief" and in the book death in the narrator. in that line he is talking about war.
the way the book is written is death narrates and every once in a while he stikes in these "notes" that particular line was a note. A side note you might say.
The full line is:
***A SMALL BUT NOTEWORTHY NOTE***
I've seen so many young men
over the years who think they're
running at other young men.
They are not.
They're running at me.
It's these little side notes that MAKE this book. They pull you in right from the start. the first side note is a few lines into the story and it says:
***HERE IS A SMALL FACT***
You are going to die.
its got this totally honest humor. I donno, i loved the book.
anywho hope that explains it. =)
Its does; sounds interesting. Thanks.

Ugh! about London. I don't like depressing books, and his take the cake! LOL
Dickens--Horrible confession, but I've never read one of his works. :sulk: He's been on my book list for a while, but he somehow hasn't made it to the top of the pile thus far. What's a good one to start with, in your opinion?
And yes, I'm :offtopic: Sorry.

Found this thread quite by accident the other day cause I rarely come to this section of the board.
One line out of a song by Creed has stuck with me even though I've not listened to Creed in a long time. The line says...
"I feel angry. I feel helpless. I feel violent. I feel alone."
Its become a favorite cause it very well captures how I've so often felt.

Vimes pounded through the fog after the fleeing figure. It wasn't quite so fast as him, despite the twinges in his legs and one or two warning stabs from his left knee, but whenever he came close to it some muffled pedestrian got in the way, or a cart pulled out of a cross street. This always happens in any police chase anywhere. A heavily laden lorry will always pull out of a side alley in front of the pursuit. If vehicles aren't involved, then it'll be a man with a rack of garments. Or two men with a large sheet of glass. There's probably some kind of secret society behind this.
