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.”
