Group F:
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!’’
Shrike, Mortal Engines (Philip Reeve)
I'm not searching every far corner of the Internet for these obscure messes. get the fack out. (this isn't a Shrike quote.)
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.

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.

I'm not actually religious in case you thought I was, but was she underage? I never knew that.

Yep I know you're agnostic or an atheist.

And yea this god character would be in prison and be on the sex offenders register if the bible was happening today.
