Great quotes from books

lumdy · 02-25-2008, 09:26 PM

Ah just decided to share some of my favorite quotes from various books:

"I am your enemy, the first one you've ever had who was smarter than you. There is no teacher but the enemy. No one but the enemy will tell you what the enemy is going to do. No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you where he is strong. And the rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. I am your enemy from now on. From now on, I am your teacher."
- Mazer Rackham to Ender ("Ender's Game" pgs. 262-263)

Be the shoe.
- Bean, "Ender's Shadow

"There must be something in books, things we can't imagine, to make a woman stay in a burning house; there must be something there. You don't stay for nothing."
- Ray Bradbury, Fahrenheit 451

- 'But there are causes worth dying for,' said Butterfly.
- 'No, there aren't! Because you've only got one life but you can pick up another five causes on any street corner!'
- 'Good grief, how can you live with a philosophy like that?'
Rincewind took a deep breath.
- 'Continuously!'

Terry Pratchett, Interesting Times

- 'I'm not going to ride on a magic carpet!' he hissed. 'I'm afraid of grounds!'
- 'You mean heights,' said Conina. 'And stop being silly.'
- 'I know what I mean! It's the grounds that kill you!'

Terry Pratchett, Sourcery

Just erotic, nothing kinky. It's the difference between using a feather and using a chicken.
