[i]Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone by J.K. Rowling.[

Possibly my favourite bit of the whole book.

"Oh happy dagger! This is thy sheath! There rust and let me die!" Juliet-Romeo and Juliet

(I have better quotes, I just can't think of one right now...there was one from a Lowry book, and another from dante's Inferno...I'll look 'em up...)

Oooo a whole bunch!^-^

(from Terry Pratchett's many novels)

Give a man a fire and he's warm for the day. But set fire to him and he's warm for the rest of his life.
Terry Pratchett, Discworld

The truth may be out there, but the lies are inside your head.
Terry Pratchett, A Discworld Novel

Always be aware of any helpful item that weighs less than it's operating manual.
Terry Pratchett

An education was a bit like a communicable sexual disease. It made you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you had the urge to pass it on.
Terry Pratchett, Hogfather

It could not be happening because this sort of thing did not happen. Any contradictory evidence could be safely ignored.
Terry Pratchett, Jingo

The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
Terry Pratchett

For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks.
Terry Pratchett, Equal Rites

Gods don't like people not doing much work. People who aren't busy all the time might start to think.
Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

Stupid men are often capable of things the clever would not dare to contemplate...
Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay

The consensus seemed to be that if really large numbers of men were sent to storm the mountain, then enough might survive the rocks to take the citadel. This is essentially the basis of all military thinking.
Terry Pratchett, Eric

It is said that your life flashes before your eyes just before you die. That is true, it's called Life.
Terry Pratchett

Sometimes glass glitters more than diamonds because it has more to prove.
Terry Pratchett

Revolutions always come around again. That's why they're called revolutions.
Terry Pratchett, Night Watch

One of the universal rules of happiness is: always be wary of any helpful item that weighs less than its operating manual.
Terry Pratchett, Jingo

It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.
Terry Pratchett, Jingo

A marriage is always made up of two people who are prepared to swear that only the other one snores.
Terry Pratchett, The Fifth Elephant

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: this glass is half full. And then there are those who say: this glass is half empty. The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a Bigger Glass!
Terry Pratchett, The Truth

When the least they could do to you was everything, then the most they could do to you suddenly held no terror.
Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

He says gods like to see an atheist around. Gives them something to aim at.
Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

No. Men should die for lies. But the truth is too precious to die for.
Terry Pratchett, Small Gods

I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it.
Terry Pratchett

This isn't life in the fast lane, it's life in the oncoming traffic.
Terry Pratchett

"Tu es dea, filia lunae. You are a goddess, a Daughter of the Moon."

It's from books 1-4 of Daughters of the Moon. It's in different places in each book.

"yeah, poor Jimmy was the last to go. Tex came up behind him, ripped out his skull and beat him to death with it!"

"wait a minute, he beat him to death with his own skull? That doesn't seem physically possible..."

"that's exactly what jimmy said before he died"

*cutscene to sidewinder, where you see a black spartan beating a blue spartan to death with the oddball. Blus spartan cried "This doesn't seem physically possible! arrrg!" and dies*

There's one quote from the novel The General's Daughter that would go great with an argument that I am making in class. Perhaps I should sit down one day and flip through to see if I can find it.
