Clover - Animal Farm
Pantalaimon - His Dark Materials series (Northern Lights/Subtle Knife/Amber Spyglass)

[Z]

Shrike - Mortal Engines (and sequels)

[Locke.]

What an original reply.

What a pathetic reply.

[Shaun]

Are we allowed two characters from the same book?

sure, as long as there haven't been 6 of that book already :laugh: -wonders why you asked when there aren't two from the same in your vote LOL-

[MTVN]

sure, as long as there haven't been 6 of that book already :laugh: -wonders why you asked when there aren't two from the same in your vote LOL-

I had 2 characters from the same book then changed it, I'd forgotten I'd asked that question :laugh:

[GypsyGoth]

Bella Swan Stephenie Meyer

Matilda Roald Dahl

Lyra Silvertongue Philip Pullman

Alice Lewis Carroll

Frankenstein's Monster Mary Shelly


(No one would have heard of my five fave characters from books, so I picked ones I thought people would be familiar with)

[Locke.]

Robb Stark - A Song of Ice and Fire
Arya Stark - A Song of Ice and Fire
Jon Snow - A Song of Ice and Fire
Patrick Bateman - American Psycho
Aragorn - The Lord of the Rings

[Shaun]

someone's already named Bella, claudia, so if you want another vote feel free :)

[GypsyGoth]

Yep thanks, I'll think another.


Holden Caulfield J.D. Salinger.

[Livia]

Bram Stoker's Count Dracula. The original and the best.
Ian Feming's James Bond; if you haven't read the books already you're in for a treat.
Atticus Finch - from Harper Lee's To Kill a Mocking Bird
Jo March - Louisa May Alcott's Little Women (a childhood favourite)
Richard Sharpe from the Bernard Cornwell novels. As with James Bond, the books are so much better than the screen version. And Sharpe's a Londoner in the books, but obviously Sean Bean can't handle anything that might involve actually acting.

Tough to pick just five...

There are eight groups of thirteen - the top 10 from each shall go through to a group of 80. This'll take a while but I want to give characters quotes just in case you're unfamiliar with them.

[Shaun]

Group A:
Doc, Cannery Row/Sweet Thursday (John Steinbeck)
"It has always seemed strange to me," said Doc. "The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest are the traits of success."
The Controller, Brave New World (Aldous Huxley)
"One would think he was going to have his throat cut," said the Controller, as the door closed. "Whereas, if he had the smallest sense, he'd understand that his punishment is really a reward. He's being sent to an island. That's to say, he's being sent to a place where he'll meet the most interesting set of men and women to be found anywhere in the world. All the people who, for one reason or another, have got too self-consciously individual to fit into community-life. All the people who aren't satisfied with orthodoxy, who've got independent ideas of their own. Every one, in a word, who's any one. I almost envy you, Mr. Watson."
Jean Brodie, The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie (Muriel Spark)
"I am putting old heads on your young shoulders," Miss Brodie had told them at that time, "and all my pupils are the crème de la crème."
Luna Lovegood, The Harry Potter series (J.K. Rowling)
You can laugh! But people used to believe that there were no such things as the Blibbering Humdinger or the Crumple-Horned Snorkack.
Caliban, The Tempest (William Shakespeare)
This island's mine, by Sycorax my mother,
Which thou tak'st from me. When thou cam'st first,
Thou strok'st me and made much of me, wouldst give me
Water with berries in't, and teach me how
To name the bigger light, and how the less,
That burn by day and night; and then I lov'd thee,
And show'd thee all the qualities o' the isle,
The fresh springs, brine-pits, barren place and fertile.
Curs'd be I that did so! All the charms
Of Sycorax, toads, beetles, bats, light on you!
For I am all the subjects that you have,
Which first was mine own king.
Josephine "Jo" March, Little Women (Louisa May Alcott)
"Christmas won't be Christmas without any presents," grumbled Jo, lying on the rug.
"It's so dreadful to be poor!" sighed Meg, looking down at her old dress.
"I don't think it's fair for some girls to have plenty of pretty things, and other girls nothing at all," added little Amy, with an injured sniff.
"We've got Father and Mother, and each other," said Beth contentedly from her corner.
The four young faces on which the firelight shone brightened at the cheerful words, but darkened again as Jo said sadly, "We haven't got Father, and shall not have him for a long time." She didn't say "perhaps never," but each silently added it, thinking of Father far away, where the fighting was.
Paddington Bear (Michael Bond)
"There aren't many of us left where I come from."
"And where is that?" asked Mrs. Brown.
The bear looked round carefully before replying.
"Darkest Peru."
Lestat, The Vampire Chronicles (Anne Rice)
I'm the Vampire Lestat. Remember me? The vampire who became a super rock star, the one who wrote the autobiography? The one with the blond hair and the blue eyes, and the insatiable desire for visibility and fame? You remember.
James Bond (Ian Fleming)
"A dry martini," Bond said. "In a deep champagne goblet. Three measures of Gordon's, one of Vodka, half a measure of Kina Lillet. Shake it very well until it's ice cold, then add a large thin slice of lemon peel. Got it?"
Charlie, The Perks of Being a Wallflower (Stephen Chbosky)
I look at people holding hands in the hallways, and I try to think how it all works. At the school dances, I sit in the background, and I tap my toe, and I wonder how many couples will dance to 'their song.' In the hallways, I see the girls wearing the guys’ jackets, and I think about the idea of property. And I wonder if anyone is really happy. I hope they are. I really hope they are.
Mr. Toad, The Wind in the Willows / Toad of Toad Hall (Kenneth Grahame)
Glorious, stirring sight! The poetry of motion! The real way to travel! The only way to travel! Here today — in next week tomorrow! Villages skipped, towns and cities jumped — always somebody else’s horizon! O bliss! O poop-poop! O my! O my!
Ralph Fitzgerald, World Without End (Ken Follett)
It was the ambition of every squire to become a knight, but Ralph felt it more keenly than most. His father had never got over the humiliation, ten years ago, of being degraded to the position of pensioner of the priory. An arrow had pierced Ralph’s heart that day. The pain would not be eased until he had restored the family honour. But not all squires became knights. Nevertheless, Father always talked as if it were only a matter of time for Ralph.
China Sorrows, Skulduggery Pleasant (Derek Landy)
"It's not that I want you to go, it's just that I don't want you to stay."

Group B:
Holden Caulfield, The Catcher in the Rye (J.D. Salinger)
In the first place, I'm sort of an atheist. I like Jesus and all, but I don't care too much for most of the other stuff in the Bible. Take the Disciples, for instance. They annoy the hell out of me, if you want to know the truth. They were all right after Jesus was dead and all, but while He was alive, they were about as much use to Him as a hole in the head. All they did was keep letting Him down. I like almost anybody in the Bible better than the Disciples. If you want to know the truth, the guy I like best in the Bible, next to Jesus, was that lunatic and all, that lived in the tombs and kept cutting himself with stones. I like him ten times as much as the Disciples, that poor bastard.
Bella Swan (Stephenie Meyer)
About three things I was absolutely positive: first, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him – and I didn't know how dominant that part might be – that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
Caleb Trask, East of Eden (John Steinbeck)
I've been jealous all my life. Jealous, I couldn't even stand it. Tonight, I even tried to buy your love, but now I don't want it anymore... I can't use it anymore. I don't want any kind of love anymore. It doesn't pay off.
Calpurnia, Julius Caesar (William Shakespeare)
When beggars die, there are no comets seen;
The heavens themselves blaze forth the death of princes.
Anselmo, For Whom the Bell Tolls (Ernest Hemingway)
I am lonely in the day when I am not working but when the dark comes it is a time of great loneliness. But one thing I have that no man nor any God can take from me and that is that I have worked well for the Republic. I have worked hard for the good that we will all share later.
Atticus Finch, To Kill a Mockingbird (Harper Lee)
The one place where a man ought to get a square deal is in a courtroom, be he any color of the rainbow, but people have a way of carrying their resentments right into a jury box. As you grow older, you’ll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don’t you forget it—whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is trash.
Desperate Dan (Dudley D. Watkins)
http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/41359000/jpg/_41359370_dandy_desperatedan.jpg
Mowgli, The Jungle Book (Rudyard Kipling)
Through the night, through the hot night, run swiftly
with me, my brothers. We will leave the lights
of the village and go to the low moon.
Waters of the Waingunga, the Man Pack have cast me
out. I did them no harm, but they were afraid of
me. Why?
The Woman In Black, The Woman in Black (Susan Hill)
It is not until he glimpses a wasted young woman, dressed all in black, at the funeral, that a creeping sense of unease begins to take hold, a feeling deepened by the reluctance of the locals to talk of the woman in black – and her terrible purpose.
Molly Weasley (JK Rowling)
Beds empty! No note! Car gone-could have died you could have been seen by muggles , as long as I've lived-you wait until your father gets home, we never had trouble like this from Bill or Charlie or Percy-
Eric Birling, An Inspector Calls (J. B. Priestley)
I did what I did. And mother did what she did. And the rest of you did what you did to her. It's still the same rotten story whether it's been told to a police inspector or to somebody else.
Frankenstein's Monster (Mary Shelley)
Of my creation and creator I was absolutely ignorant, but I knew that I possessed no money, no friends, no kind of property. I was, besides, endued with a figure hideously deformed and loathsome; I was not even of the same nature as man. I was more agile than they and could subsist upon coarser diet; I bore the extremes of heat and cold with less injury to my frame; my stature far exceeded theirs. When I looked around I saw and heard of none like me. Was I, then, a monster, a blot upon the earth, from which all men fled and whom all men disowned?
The Hungry Caterpillar (Eric Carle)
On Saturday, he ate through one piece of chocolate cake, one ice-cream cone, one pickle, one slice of Swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake, and one slice of watermelon. That night he had a stomach ache.

Group C:
Raoul Duke, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas (Hunter S Thompson)
All those pathetically eager acid freaks who thought they could buy Peace and Understanding for three bucks a hit. But their loss and failure is ours, too. What Leary took down with him was the central illusion of a whole life-style that he helped to create...a generation of permanent cripples, failed seekers, who never understood the essential old mystic fallacy of the Acid Culture: the desperate assumption that somebody-or at least some force-is tending the Light at the end of the tunnel.
Celie, The Color Purple (Alice Walker)
"All the men got they eyes glued to Shug's bosom. I got my eyes glued there too. I feel my nipples harden under my dress. My little button sort of perk up too. Shug, I say to her in my mind, Girl, you looks like a real good time, the Good Lord knows you do."
Lyra Silvertongue (Philip Pullman)
"That’s why we needed our full life, Pan... we wouldn’t have been able to build it. No one could if they put themselves first. We have to be all those difficult things like cheerful and kind and curious and patient, and we’ve got to study and think and work hard, all of us, in all our different worlds, and then we’ll build…"
Desdemona, Othello (William Shakespeare)
My heart's subdued
Even to the very quality of my lord.
I saw Othello's visage in his mind,
And to his honors and his valiant parts
Did I my soul and fortunes consecrate
Moonface, The Faraway Tree (Enid Blyton)

Dr. Tony Hill, The Wire in the Blood (Val McDermid)
They think it's a brain tumour. An intracranial meningioma. But if I can pronounce it, there can't be that much wrong with me.
Piggy, Lord of the Flies (William Golding)
"I'm scared of him," said Piggy, "and that's why I know him. If you're scared of someone you hate him but you can't stop thinking about him. You kid yourself he's alright really, an' then when you see him again; it's like asthma an' you can't breath. I tell you what. He hates you too, Ralph —"
Shylock, The Merchant of Venice (William Shakespeare)
I am a Jew. Hath not a Jew eyes? Hath not a Jew hands, organs, dimensions, senses, affections, passions? Fed with the same food, hurt with the same weapons, subject to the same diseases, healed by the same means, warmed and cooled by the same winter and summer, as a Christian is? If you prick us, do we not bleed? If you tickle us, do we not laugh? If you poison us, do we not die? And if you wrong us, shall we not revenge? If we are like you in the rest, we shall resemble you in that. If a Jew wrong a Christian, what is his humility? Revenge. If a Christian wrong a Jew, what should his sufferance be by Christian example? Why, revenge. The villainy you teach me I will execute, and it shall go hard but I will better the instruction.
Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter series (J.K.Rowling)
"The Stone was really not such a wonderful thing. As much money and life as you could want! The two things most human beings would choose above all - the trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things that are worst for them."
Matilda (Roald Dahl)
"Never do anything by halves if you want to get away with it. Be outrageous. Go the whole hog. Make sure everything you do is so completely crazy it's unbelievable..."
Winston Smith, Nineteen Eighty-Four (George Orwell)
"No," he said a little more hopefully, "no; that's quite true. They can't get inside you. If you can feel that staying human is worth while, even when it can't have any result whatever, you've beaten them."
Edmund, Mansfield Park (Jane Austen)
“Of the last-mentioned hero … I will say … that we have seen him two or three times, and that my friends here are very much struck with his gentlemanlike appearance. Mrs. Fraser (no bad judge) declares she knows but three men in town who have so good a person, height, and air; and I must confess, when he dined here the other day, there were none to compare with him”
Otto Quangel, Every Man Dies Alone (Hans Fallada)
“He was proposing something so ridiculously small, postcards with slogans against the Führer and the party, against the war, for the information of his fellow men, that was all.”

Group D:
Patrick Bateman, An American Psycho (Bret Easton Ellis)
"I had all the characteristics of a human being—flesh, blood, skin, hair—but my depersonalization was so intense, had gone so deep, that my normal ability to feel compassion had been eradicated, the victim of a slow, purposeful erasure. I was simply imitating reality, a rough resemblance of a human being, with only a dim corner of my mind functioning"
Hester Shaw, Mortal Engines (Philip Reeve)
To the onlooker, Hester presents an intimidating persona; angry, hateful, violent and with a fierce temper. Those who take the trouble to get to know her, such as her friend, lover and later husband; Tom Natsworthy, and their mutual friend Anna Fang, realise this is to disguise the more gentle and shy girl she would have been had life not treated her so badly. However, Hester undeniably feels little or no remorse in killing or injuring others, usually in self-defence or to protect those she loves.
Alice, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (Lewis Carroll)
'Well, I'll eat it,' said Alice, 'and if it makes me grow larger, I can reach the key; and if it makes me grow smaller, I can creep under the door; so either way I'll get into the garden, and I don't care which happens!'
Esther Greenwood, The Bell Jar (Sylvia Plath)
I didn't feel like asking him if there were any other ways to have babies. For some reason the most important thing to me was actually seeing the baby come out of you yourself and making sure it was yours. I thought if you had to have all that pain anyway you might just as well stay awake. I had always imagined myself hitching up on to my elbows on the delivery table after it was all over — dead white, of course, with no makeup and form the awful ordeal, but smiling and radiant, with my hair down to my waist, and reaching out for my first little squirmy child and saying its name, whatever it was.
Jon Snow (George R.R. Martin)
Generations of capering fools in motley have won me the right to dress badly and say any damn thing that comes into my head.
Mrs. Twit, The Twits (Roald Dahl)
As she floated gently down, Mrs. Twit’s petticoat billowed out like a parachute, showing her long knickers. It was a grade sight on a glorious day, and thousands of birds came flying in from miles around to stare at this extraordinary old woman in the sky.
Miss Havisham, Great Expectations (Charles Dickens)
I'll tell you what real love is. It is blind devotion, unquestioning self humiliation, utter submission, trust and belief against yourself and against the whole world, giving up your whole heart and soul to the smiter--as I did
Dracula (Bram Stoker)
You think to baffle me, you with your pale faces all in a row, like sheep in a butcher's. You shall be sorry yet, each one of you! You think you have left me without a place to rest, but I have more. My revenge is just begun! I spread it over centuries, and time is on my side. Your girls that you all love are mine already. And through them you and others shall yet be mine, my creatures, to do my bidding and to be my jackals when I want to feed. Bah!
John Yossarian, Catch-22 (Joseph Heller)
“From now on I'm thinking only of me.” Major Danby replied indulgently with a superior smile: “But, Yossarian, suppose everyone felt that way?”
“Then,” said Yossarian, “I'd certainly be a damned fool to feel any other way, wouldn't I?”
Antonio, The Merchant of Venice (William Shakespeare)
The devil can cite scripture for his purpose.
An evil soul producing holy witness,
Is like a villain with a smiling cheek;
A goodly apple rotten at the heart:
O, what a goodly outside falsehood hath!
Trisha McFarland, The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon (Stephen King)
The world has teeth and it can bite you with them any time it wants.
Mr. Darcy, Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen)
"Your conjecture is totally wrong, I assure you. My mind was more agreeably engaged. I have been meditating on the very great pleasure which a pair of fine eyes in the face of a pretty woman can bestow."
Robinson Crusoe (Daniel Defoe)
I have since often observed, how incongruous and irrational the common temper of mankind is, especially of youth, to that reason which ought to guide them in such cases - viz. they are not ashamed to sin, and yet are ashamed to repent. Not ashamed of the action for which they ought justly to be esteemed fools, but are ashamed of the returning, which can only make them be esteemed wise men.

dracula bottom. in a group with mrs. twit. okay then.

I have read the twits :nono:

[Shaun]

so only the ones you've read should stand a chance of winning

[Locke.]

If I've read the book the character is in, them I'm obviously more likely to place them higher than characters from books that I haven't read. Unless I didn't like the character.

Fair point.

[Shaun]

that's taking on a mantle that they're inherently better though, which they aren't necessarily. Even the most basic awareness of the legend of Dracula should suggest that he might, just might, have had more of an impact than Mrs. Twit.

I'm not interested in dracula's, vampires, werewolves, or any of that crap. Dracula should be satisfied with 1 point

Group E:
Antoinette Cosway, Wide Sargasso Sea (Jean Rhys)
There is no looking glass here and I don't know what I am like now. I remember watching myself brush my hair and how my eyes looked back at me. The girl I saw was myself yet not quite myself. Long ago when I was a child and very lonely I tried to kiss her. But the glass was between us—hard, cold and misted over with my breath. Now they have taken everything away. What am I doing in this place and who am I?
Jane Eyre (Charlotte Brontë)
If people were always kind and obedient to those who are cruel and unjust; the wicked people would have it all their own way: they would never feel afraid, and so they would never alter, but would grow worse and worse. When we are struck at without a reason, we should strike back again very hard; I am sure we should — so hard as to teach the person who struck us never to do it again.
Slim, Of Mice and Men (John Steinbeck)
"Never you mind. A guy got to sometimes"
Aragorn (J.R.R. Tolkien)
And yet less thanks have we than you. Travellers scowl at us, and countrymen give us scornful names. 'Strider' I am to one fat man who lives within a day's march of foes that would freeze his heart or lay his little town in ruin, if he were not guarded ceaselessly. Yet we would not have it otherwise. If simple folk are free from care and fear, simple they will be, and we must be kept secret to keep them so.
Tybalt, Romeo + Juliet (William Shakespeare)
Tybalt: What, art thou drawn among these hartless hinds?
Turn thee, Benvolio; look upon thy death.
Benvolio: I do but keep the peace: put up thy sword,
Or manage it to part these men with me.
Tybalt: What, drawn, and talk of peace! I hate the word,
As I hate hell, all Montagues, and thee.
Have at thee, coward!
Ebenezer Scrooge, A Christmas Carol (Charles Dickens)
"If they would rather die," said Scrooge, "they had better do it, and decrease the surplus population."
Callum McGregor - Noughts & Crosses series (Malorie Blackman)
"I love you too."
Rosalind, As You Like It (William Shakespeare)
But mistress, know yourself; down on your knees,
And thank Heaven, fasting, for a good man’s love:
For I must tell you friendly in your ear, —
Sell while you can; you are not for all markets.
Lucy Pevensie, The Chronicles of Narnia (C.S. Lewis)
"I've felt for hours that there was some wonderful mystery hanging over this place."
Gran, The Magic Key (series by Roderick Hunt)
Surprisingly, quotes for this bitch are hard to find.
Edward Rochester, Jane Eyre (Charlotte Brontë)
I envy your peace of mind, your clean conscience, your unpolluted memory. Little girl, a memory without blot or contamination must be an exquisite treasure — an inexhaustible source of pure refreshment: is it not?
Severus Snape Harry Potter series (J.K. Rowling)
Fools who wear their hearts proudly on their sleeves, who cannot control their emotions, who wallow in sad memories and allow themselves to be provoked so easily - weak people in other words-...
Lady Macbeth, Macbeth (William Shakespeare)
I have given suck, and know
How tender 'tis to love the babe that milks me:
I would, while it was smiling in my face,
Have pluck'd my nipple from his boneless gums,
And dash'd the brains out, had I so sworn
As you have done to this.

The Grand High Witch, The Witches (Roald Dahl)
‘Classrooms vill all be svorrming vith mice!’ shouted The Grand High Witch. ‘Chaos and pandemonium vill be rrreigning in every school in Inkland! Teachers vill be hopping up and down! Vimmen teachers vill be standing on desks and holding up skirts and yelling ‘Help, help, help!’’

Clover, Animal Farm (George Orwell)
If she herself had had any picture of the future, it had been of a society of animals set free from hunger and the whip, all equal, each working according to his capacity, the strong protecting the weak.
Jesus, The Bible
Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.
Ethan Allen Hawley, The Winter of Our Discontent (John Steinbeck)
"I'm sorry," Ethan said. "You have taught me something -- maybe three things, rabbit footling mine. Three things will never be believed -- the true, the probable, and the logical. I know now where to get the money to start my fortune."
Jay Gatsby, The Great Gatsby (F. Scott Fitzgerald)
He smiled understandingly — much more than understandingly. It was one of those rare smiles with a quality of eternal reassurance in it, that you may come across four or five times in life. It faced — or seemed to face — the whole external world for an instant, and then concentrated on you with an irresistible prejudice in your favor. It understood you just as far as you wanted to be understood, believed in you as you would like to believe in yourself, and assured you that it had precisely the impression of you that, at your best, you hoped to convey.
Dorothy Gale, The Wonderful Wizard of Oz (L. Frank Baum)[/i]
Dorothy looked, and gave a little cry of fright. There, indeed, just under the corner of the great beam the house rested on, two feet were sticking out, shod in silver shoes with pointed toes.
Mercutio, Romeo + Juliet (William Shakespeare)
This cannot anger him: 'twould anger him
To raise a spirit in his mistress' circle
Of some strange nature, letting it there stand
Till she had laid it and conjured it down;
That were some spite: my invocation
Is fair and honest, and in his mistress' name
I conjure only to raise up him.
Mrs. Wilcox, Howards End (E.M. Forster)
"Was Mrs Wilcox one of the unsatisfactory people--there are many of them--who dangle intimacy and then withdraw it? They evoke our interests and affections, and keep the life of the spirit dawdling round them. Then they withdraw. When physical passion is involved, there is a definite name for such behavior--flirting--and if carried far enough it is punishable by law. But no law--not public opinion even--punishes those who coquette with friendship, thought the dull ache that they inflict, the sense of misdirected effort and exhaustion, may be as intolerable. Was she one of these?"
Robb Stark, A Song of Ice and Fire series (George R.R. Martin)
Winter is coming.
Amy March, Little Women (Louisa May Alcott)
I love my gallant captain with all my heart and soul and might, and never will desert him, while God lets us be together. Oh, Mother, I never knew how much like heaven this world could be, when two people love and live for one another!
Roland Deschain The Dark Tower series (Stephen King)
"If we were going to rape you, you would be one well-raped woman by now"
Edgar Linton, Wuthering Heights (Emily Brontë)
I observed that Mr. Edgar had a deep-rooted fear of ruffling [Catherine's] humour. He concealed it from her; but if ever he heard me answer sharply, or saw any other servant grow cloudy at some imperious order of hers, he would show his trouble by a frown of displeasure that never darkened on his own account.

They evoke our interests and affections, and keep the life of the spirit dawdling round them. Then they withdraw. When physical passion is involved, there is a definite name for such behavior--flirting--and if carried far enough it is punishable by law. But no law--not public opinion even--punishes those who coquette with friendship, thought the dull ache that they inflict, the sense of misdirected effort and exhaustion, may be as intolerable. Was she one of these?"
Robb Stark, A Song of Ice and Fire series (George R.R. Martin)
Winter is coming.
Amy March, Little Women (Louisa May Alcott)
I love my gallant captain with all my heart and soul and might, and never will desert him, while God lets us be together. Oh, Mother, I never knew how much like heaven this world could be, when two people love and live for one another!
Roland Deschain The Dark Tower series (Stephen King)
"If we were going to rape you, you would be one well-raped woman by now"
Edgar Linton, Wuthering Heights (Emily Brontë)
I observed that Mr. Edgar had a deep-rooted fear of ruffling [Catherine's] humour. He concealed it from her; but if ever he heard me answer sharply, or saw any other servant grow cloudy at some imperious order of hers, he would show his trouble by a frown of displeasure that never darkened on his own account.

At least his quote wasn't about rape, lol. Just to clarify the guy in my sig/avatar (Roland Deschain) isn't a maniacal rapist.

I tried reading the Dark Tower, there was one guy chasing another guy across a desert, I didn't get it so I stopped after a few pages.

And I wouldn't even attempt to read the bible, I think it would make me angry.

The first book is just those 2 as it's sort of a long prologue, but from the 2nd book it gets much better. Really, I reckon you'd like it.

And as for Jesus...

Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, 'Let me take the speck out of your eye,' when there is the log in your own eye?

You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye.

-can't believe he just quoted Jesus-

There are. That's why I first started watching Lost. Alas, Lost got too ridiculous after season 3.

I will pick up the Dark Tower books if I find them second hand. But I've got a few books on my books-to-read list.


And my mind wanders when ever I read a bible quote, I'd find Shakespeare more fun.

Plus the whole god have sex with an underage girl to make jesus seems really wrong to me.

Group G:
Fagin, Oliver Twist (Charles Dickens)
'When the boy is worth a hundred pounds to me, am I to lose what chance threw me in the way of getting safely, through the whims of a drunken gang that I could whistle away the lives of! And me bound, too, to a born devil, that only wants the will and has the power'"
"Bull" McCabe, The Field (John B. Keane)
Go on father, go on. Lock the gates to God's house. Sure they were locked at the time of the Famine too. No priest died the time of the Famine: only poor people like us.
Pantalaimon (Philip Pullman)
Her dæmon's name was Pantalaimon, and he was currently in the form of a moth, a dark brown one so as not to show up in the darkness of the hall.
Mephistophilis, Doctor Faustus (Christopher Marlowe)
“Think’st thou that I who saw the face of God
And tasted the eternal joy of heaven
Am not tormented with ten thousand hells
In being deprived of everlasting bliss?
O Faustus, leave these frivolous demands
Which strikes a terror to my fainting soul!”
Captain Ahab, Moby Dick (Herman Melville)
Consider all this; and then turn to this green, gentle, and most docile earth; consider them both, the sea and the land; and do you not find a strange analogy to something in yourself? For as this appalling ocean surrounds the verdant land, so in the soul of man there lies one insular Tahiti, full of peace and joy, but encompassed by all the horrors of the half known life. God keep thee! Push not off from that isle, thou canst never return!
Harry Potter (JK Rowling)
My father died trying to protect my mother and me, and you reckon he'd tell you to abandon your kid to go on an adventure with us?
Holly Golightly, Breakfast at Tiffany's (Truman Capote)
You could always tell what kind of a person a man thinks you are by the earrings he gives you. I must say, the mind reels.
Dorian Gray, The Picture of Dorian Gray (Oscar Wilde)
There is only one thing in the world worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.
Arya Stark, A Song of Fire and Ice series (George R.R. Martin)
Wizards die the same as other men, once you cut their heads off.
Lady Runcie-Campbell - The Cone Gatherers (Robin Jenkins)
“Haven’t we got the right to keep ourselves alive? Is the Lady like the rain, and the thunder and lightning…”
George, The Famous Five series (Enid Blyton)
George is actually a girl who wants so desperately to be a boy she crops her hair and struts about doing boy things. She hates it when people call her by her correct name, Georgina. She has a dog called Timmy—oh yes, and an island. Most kids just have a dog, but George's parents own Kirrin Island and let her run around on it as if it were her play-thing. Her parents are known to Julian, Dick and Anne as Uncle Quentin and Aunt Fanny.
Cassie Logan, Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry (Mildred D. Taylor)
"What happened to T.J. in the night I did not understand, but I knew that it would not pass. And I cried for those thing which had happened in the night and would not pass."
Willy Wonka, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory (Roald Dahl)
"Everything in this room is eatable. In fact even I am eatable, but that is called canabalism my dear children and is frowned upon in most civilizations.”

Rubeus Hagrid, Harry Potter series (J.K. Rowling)
I'm not blamin' yeh … but I gotta tell yeh, I thought you two'd value yer friend more'n broomsticks or rats. Tha's all.
Hermione Granger, Harry Potter series (J.K. Rowling)
Ron, just because you have the emotional range of a teaspoon doesn't mean we all have.
Susannah Dean (Stephen King)
I am three women…I who was; I who had no right to be but was; I am the woman you have saved. I thank you gunslinger.
Duncan, Macbeth (William Shakespeare)
There's no art
To find the mind's construction in the face:
He was a gentleman on whom I built
An absolute trust.
Cleopatra, Antony and Cleopatra (William Shakespeare)
O, wither’d is the garland of the war!
The soldier’s pole is fall'n; young boys and girls
Are level now with men; the odds is gone,
And there is nothing left remarkable
Beneath the visiting moon.
George Milton, Of Mice and Men (John Steinbeck)
They come, an' they quit an' go on; an' every damn one of 'em's got a little piece of land in his head. An' never a God damn one of 'em ever gets it. Just like heaven. Ever'body wants a little piece of lan'. I read plenty of books out here. Nobody never gets to heaven, and nobody gets no land. It’s just in their head
Carrie (Stephen King)
Jesus watches from the wall, but his face is cold as stone. And if he loves me - as she tells me - why do I feel so all alone?
Sephy Hadley, Noughts & Crosses series (Malorie Blackman)
coming from a powerful Cross family, Sephy falls in love with a Nought, and eventually has a mixed-race daughter with him. She is one of the few people to fight for equality among Noughts and Crosses. Quote: “I hadn’t realised just how powerful words could be before this.”
Guy Montag, Fahrenheit 451 (Ray Bradbury)
"Some day the load we're carrying with us may help someone. But even when we had the books on hand, a long time ago, we didn't use what we got out of them. We went right on insulting the dead. We went right on spitting in the graves of all the poor ones who died before us. We're going to meet a lot of lonely people in the next week and the next month and the next year. And when they ask us what we're doing, you can say, We're remembering. That's where we'll win out in the long run. And some day we'll remember so much that we'll build the biggest goddamn steam-shovel in history and dig the biggest grave of all time and shove war in and cover it up. Come on now, we're going to go build a mirror-factory first and put out nothing but mirrors for the next year and take a long look in them."
Sherlock Holmes, The Hound of the Baskervilles (Sir Arthur Conan Doyle)
If I were assured of your eventual destruction I would, in the interests of the public, cheerfully accept my own.
Little John, Robin Hood (???)
But while there is / A merry man / In Robin's wily pack / We'll find a way / To make him pay / And steal our money back! / A minute before he knows we're there, / Ol Rob'll snatch his underwear.
Richard Sharpe (Bernard Cromwell)
You can put Sharpe up against 10,000 French men, and he's not going to be that scared, but put him up against a pretty woman, and he's terrified.
Violet Baudelaire, A Series of Unfortunate Events (Lemony Snicket)
