Best book lines of all time?
 

Mine would be from Fight Club:

"I've met God across his long walnut desk with his diplomas hanging on the wall behind him, and God asks me, "Why?" Why did I cause so much pain? Didn't I realize that each of us is a sacred, unique snowflake of special unique specialness? Can't I see how we're all manifestations of love? I look at God behind his desk, taking notes on a pad, but God's got this all wrong. We are not special. We are not crap or trash, either. We just are. We just are, and what happens just happens. And God says, "No, that's not right." Yeah. Well. Whatever. You can't teach God anything."

~Chapter 30

Or, from Euripides, in Heracles --

"To persevere, trusting in what hopes he has, is courage in a man."

Jesus. I must be the only one that reads.

"In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth"

Thank you, thank you..
Goodnight, and god bless you.

"The cigarette was at last inserted into the hole. The cigarette was lit. For a while the bed itself appeared to be smoking the cigarette in great heaving drags. It coughed long, loud and shuderingly and then at last began to breathe in a more measured rythm. In this way, Dirk Gently achieved consciousness."

-The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul, by Douglas Adams

There's better lines, especially some of the dialouge, but that would require looking, and therefore, effort.

Good night.
Sleep well!

The End

I was thinking of posting some Hitchhiker's Guide quotes. Here's my personal favorite, from the beginning of So Long, and Thanks for all the Fish.

"And as he drove on, the rain clouds dragged down the sky after him for, though he did not know it, Rob McKenna was a Rain God. All her knew was that his working days were miserable and he had a succession of lousy holidays. All the clouds knew was that they loved him and wanted to be near him, to cherish him and to water him."

At the risk of being a geek Ill paste one of my favorite quotes from one of my favorite books I've ever read/.


"Would that I had the courage to depart, this place or this life, or to stand openly against the wrongness that is the world of these, my kin. To seek an existence that does not run afoul to that which I believe, and to that which I hold dear faith is truth."
- Zaknafein Do'Urden

' When I got better I realized what a rat he was, but then I had to understand the impossible complexity of his life, how he had to leave me there, sick, to get on with his wives and woes. "Okay, old Dean, I'll say nothing." ' - On The Road, Jack Kerouac

"Life is pain," his mother said. "Anybody that says different is selling something."
