I just remembered this one from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows:
"Of course it is happening inside your head (Harry), but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?"
-- Spoken by Albus Dumbledore

Gandalf to Frodo in LoTR: We don't get to choose the times that we live in but only what we do with the time we have. (That is not exact but gets the point across.)
Dumbledore to Harry: It's our choices that define us, not our abilities! 8^)

I have this poem about grief from The Sky is Everywhere. Here it is:
Grief is a house
where the chairs
have forgotten how to hold us
the mirrors how to reflect us
the walls how to contain us
Grief is a house that disappears
each time someone knocks at the door
or rings a bell
a house that blows into the air
at the slightest gust
that buries itself deep in the ground
while everyone is sleeping
grief is a house where no one can protect you
where the younger sister
will grow older than the older one
where the doors
no longer let you in
or out.

Lucky Charms are like the vampires of breakfast cereal. They're magical, they're delicious, they're a little bit dangerous and bad for you. They initially make you feel great, but then over time you realize that maybe your relationship with Lucky Charms is just a little bit unhealthy and you start to think, 'Maybe I don't want to be in a long-term relationship with a breakfast cereal that tastes delicious but damages my health.' But then the Lucky Charms gets all stalker on you and for some reason you kind of like that. It makes you feel special. So yeah, you spend your life with Lucky Charms. That's awesome. That's a great way to... get diabetes.

Hey, message 53 has my favorite Harry Potter quote! It never fails to crack me up.
Here's one from the book I'm currently reading:
“Turns out he does run," Nick drawled. "Given an incentive. And he wouldn't be so out of breath if he hadn't kept shrieking."
"That was not a shriek," Jamie said with dignity. "It was a husky masculine cry of terror.”
- Demon's Covenant

It's the sequel to Demon's Lexicon and is veeeerrry good. I'm a complete sucker for books with strong platonic relationships (and romance that isn't too gooey) and this would be one of them. The author likes to dump information on you in the beginning but she makes up for it with plenty of action and twists.
59Tavaresden
Yeah, I'm debating whether or not I should get a copy for myself since I borrowed it from the library. But it's just that awesome :D
61Tavaresden
Sarah Rees Brennan She's pretty cool. She wrote a short story spin-off of the trilogy which was had me cracking up so much, my roommate started looking at me funny!
63Tavaresden
It came from the second book of the trilogy.
65Tavaresden
The third is called Demon's Surrender. I just started it :)
67Tavaresden
Actually, it's nothing like twilight. No vampires or werewolves in sight. Plenty of magicians and demons instead. I would say that the trilogy is similar to Stroud's Bartimaeus Trilogy (another great series if you haven't read it!).
68OrientalCherry
I'm soooo gonna read all the books you've mentioned!! I think it's really interesting:)
69Tavaresden
Awesome, I hope you like them! Let me know what you think :D
71Tavaresden
Sounds like a great idea! Authors get so creative about demons, for some reason. Sometimes pure evil, sometimes just chaotic neutrals, it's always fun to see how each book portrays them.
74Tavaresden
All the more books to read with :D

Hehe, couldn't resist >:)

Hehe, you can use it as long as you tell me what her reaction is!
And here's another funny one:
Thomas: Christ, Dresden! You almost got me killed!
Harry: Don't be a baby. You're fine.
Thomas: You at least could have told me!
Harry: I DID tell you. I told you at Mac's that I'd give you a ride home but that I had to run an errand first.
Thomas: An errand is getting a tank of gas or picking up a carton of milk or something. It is not getting chased by flying purple pyromaniac gorillas hurling incendiary poo.
Harry: Next time take the El.
- Blood rites Trust me, it makes more sense in context xD

Omg I love the Sherlock homes movie , the new one, with Robert Downey junior!! I am so excited for the second one!!
85ErisofDiscord
I look forward to "Sherlock Holmes 2", too. It's good to see people excited about Sherlock Holmes again! Personally, my favorite Holmes was played by Jeremy Brett (his was the most faithful to the books and Brett totally embodied the character), but Robert Downey, Jr.'s is exciting. :)
86Tavaresden
A second one's coming out?! YES!!! I loved the movie too. I liked how they portrayed Watson and Holme's friendship. In the other versions I've seen, Watson was like a sidekick or a lackey. In this movie, they're friends with their own strengths :)

I like Fred better. I think I've read somewhere in a Potter wiki that J.K. Rowling considered Fred and Hermione as a couple. I personally think it would have been awesome:)

Ron and Hermione were meant to be. I had them pegged as a couple since the second book, so they absolutley were meant to be!
104mrmcfluff
I would have loved to have Hermione and Fred together!! Honestly, Ron is a weak character in the books and movies.
105ErisofDiscord
No he's not! He is loyal, funny, and even though he doesn't like being brave, he puts that fear aside for his friends.
107mrmcfluff
Lol when you guys describe him like that it sounds like he's a golden retriever or something.

"Hermione: you've done it Neville. You've found the Room of Requirement!

And by the way:
"The large man was rolling his shoulders, making cracking and creaking noises like a ship in a storm. I thought -briefly- of running but the thought lasted longer than my legs would have. I looked up and down the street, hoping that help would materialize, a chance patrol of the watch, a citizen on his way to work -a burly citizen on his way to work- a burly citizen on his way to work as a master swordsman- but it remained empty."
and:
"You!" he bellowed. "Fat man. Hold there!"
I realized that even when I stood to lose my life after an eternity of the most sophisticated and cruel torture know in history, it was still possible to be indignant at being called a fat man, when I merely have the comfortable shape of a well-lived middle age

Mcgonagal: Well, the devil with party and his rules! And since when did you accommodate the Ministry?
Snape: Headmaster, I too find it difficult to believe this mere coincidence; however, if we are to truly discover the meaning of these events, perhaps we should, for the time being, let them unfold.
McGonagall: What? Do nothing? Offer him up as bait? Potter is a boy! Not a piece of meat!
Dumbledore: I agree... with Severus. Alastor, keep an eye on Harry will you?

I have 2 favorite quotes (1 each from Harry Potter & LoTR) & they are, in a way, related.
In Harry Potter Dumbledore tells Harry that "I't our choices that define us not our abilities."
In LoTR Gandalf tells Frodo that we do not "get to choose the times we live in but only to choose what we do with the time that is given us."
The message in both quotes is about our choices.
I am 71 years old & know a lot about how choices can & do affect our lives.

"NOT MY DAUGHTER, YOU BITCH!"
-Molly Weasley, speaking to Bellatrix Lestrange in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
When I went to see this at the theater, everyone in the room started cheering and applauding when that line appeared. :)

"Finnick?" I(katniss) say. "Maybe some pants?"
He looks down at his legs as if noticing his outfit for the first time. Then he whips off his hospital gown, leaving him in just his underwear. "Why? do you find this'-he strikes a ridiculously provacative pose-"distracting?"
Sorry kinda long but I love finnick! :)
"Isnt he handsome?" (Fulvia asks when seeing Gale in his uniform)
"Well, dont excpect us to be too impressed. We just saw Finnick Odair in his underwear."
I(katniss) decide to go ahead and like Boggs.

That was my only favorite part in Mockingjay. I was giggling like a little girl after that!

Check out the Rue and Prim thread. I stated all my objections there and I don't feel like going through them again. Get's depressing.

I also think that any book after hunger games would be a let down. Hunger games was so amazing, the second and third books were destined to be a let down. Does anyone agree with me??
153ErisofDiscord
I do!
155swimfreak14
I think it would have been hard to top THG, but I wan't expecting the rest of the series to be a let-down. I guess I thought all the books were awesome, but the first one was definitely the best.
157mrmcfluff
Like I said I doubted that Suzanne Collins could top THG, so I just expected the worst.
I also expect THG movie to be good but the second two movies to be bad.

Lockhart: Now, this won't hurt a bit. BRACKIUM EMENDO!
Lockhart: Ah yes, well, aha, that can sometimes happen. But, uh, the point is, uh, you can no longer feel any pain. And very clearly, the bones are not broken.
Hagrid: Broken?! There's no bones left!
Lockhart: Much more flexible, though.

Yeah, it was, now that I remember. My memory forgets things. *sighs*

I never really liked Molly Weasley. That line wasn't one of my favorites I'm sorry to say. Sorry if that offends someone's feelings.
163Tavaresden
I don't see why that would be offensive. You're just stating your opinion.
164ErisofDiscord
Not at all! We'll wonder what is wrong with you, but we won't be offended! ;)
Me, I like Molly Weasley, because she reminds me of my mom. I think that certain characters appeal or don't appeal to us based on our personal connection to the character. I guess the reason Harry Potter is so popular is that so many people identify with the characters.

165mrmcfluff
Oh good I didn't hurt anyone's feelings. I didn't know how sensitive people were to some characters.
I understand how you guys would like Molly but in fairness I didn't really like any of the Weasley except for Fred and George.

Nah, we're not offended. If we were to get offended every single time someone disagreed with us, we would spend our whole lives being offended!
Fred and George are awesome! I wish I had Rowling's talent as a writer for creating funny one-liners, especially through Fred and George.

Harry: Why do they have to travel in packs? And how are you supposed to get one on their own to ask them?
Ron: Blimey, Harry. You've slayed dragons. If you can't get a date, who can?
Harry: I think I'd take the dragon right now.

Ron: Oi, Hermione, you're a girl.
Hermione: Very well spotted
Ron: Come with one of us! Come on. It's one thing for a bloke to show up alone. For a girl, it's just sad.
Hermione: I won't be going alone because, believe it or not, someone's asked me! And I said yes!
Ron: Bloody he'll. She's lying right?
Harry: If you say so.
Goblet of Fire
Ron and Hermione's relationship, complicated to say the least.

Hermione: Viktor has gone to get us drinks. Would you care to join us?
Ron: No, we'd not care to join you and viktor.
Hermione: What's got your wand in a knot?
Ron: He's a Durmstrang! Your fraternizing with the enemy!
Hermione: The enemy? Who was it wanting his autograph? Besides, the whole point of the Tournament is international magical cooperation. To make friends.
Ron: I think he's got a bit more than friendship on his mind.
From: Harry potter goblet of fire
Yet another quote about Ron and Hermione's ever undefined relationship.

We love you, Ron.

Because he was in love, and he was jealous of Krum. Completely excusable, in my opinion, as Hermione was equally upset when he was snogging Lavender.

I've found several future reads thanks to this thread!
"Well, well, we live and learn, just like you said."
"Some of us even do it the other way around."
Small Gods, from the Discworld series.

Mariah: The only books mentioned here that I've read are the Hunger Games Trilogy (love it), the Harry Potter series (also love), and the Discworld series. Everything else is new to me.
Mrmcfluff: Thanks, it's one of my favorites. :)

Discworld is a world shaped like a disc, floating through space on the back of a giant turtle. The city where a lot of the stories take place is sort of like ancient Rome, going through industrialization. There are around 40 books out, that are divided into different story arcs: there's a series about the City Watch, another about witches, Death and his family, wizards, and a few others.
The quote I posted is from Small Gods, about a young man whose god begins talking to him while he's training to become a priest. It's one of the more popular DW books, and a great place to start the series. Another great book to start with is Guards! Guards!, which is the first book of the City Watch cycle.

To live on the back of a turtle. Interesting.
Maybe we all are living on the back of a turtle. How would we know?

186ErisofDiscord
Because I've seen pictures from outer space of the earth, and I haven't seen any turtles. Besides, how would a turtle breathe if there is no air?
187Mariah7
maybe our universe is on a turtles back....i think thats the point she was getting at.
ok lets change topics!

Ah, I see! Putting it that way... I suppose we could be on the back of turtles. We don't know. Anything's possible!
Okay, subject change! Ummmmmmm. Who wants to see the most epic scream, ever? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1aJkUGJEw8&feature=g-logo&context=G2ada5...

Sure. Quotes are quotes.
I have a few, from one of my all time favorite movies, The Godfather.
"Drop the gun, take the canoli."
"I'll make him an offer he can't refuse."
And this one: "Ahhhhhhh! Ahhhhhh! Ahhhhhh!" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIi_Ae_xPok

And who could not mention this one! Use this whenever you're in an argument with someone and you want it to end quickly. Works every time!

This one as well, from "The Room:" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Plz-bhcHryc&feature=related
If you've never heard of "The Room," be thankful - it's not something that one can ever bleach from one's mind.

"You wanna know how I got these scars? My father was a drinker, and a fiend. And one night, he goes off crazier than usual. Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself. He doesn't like that. Not. One. Bit. So, me watching, he takes the knife to her, laughing while he does it. He turns to me and says, "Why so serious?" Comes at me with the knife. "WHY SO SERIOUS?" He sticks the blade in my mouth... 'Let's put a smile on that face.' And...

Interesting you posted it twice. It is a very important quote in the movie and as a franchise.
202ErisofDiscord
Oops, that was an accident! I posted it once, and after I was done it wasn't there, so I posted it again. Sorry! It is an pretty important quote.
I just love how Heath Ledger did the Joker. Much better than Jack Nicholson's.

Haha! I'm going to have to show that one to my brother - as a keen student of Batman, he would love it.

And a quote, but from a different series: "Jacen felt it was time to roll. Most would be asleep: 0400 was a good time to disorient humans and minimize resistance. Shevu had shown him medical data to confirm this but pointed out that it never, ever worked on Wookies."

"In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him."
Ender's Game
Orson Scott Card
I really love this quote because I feel that hatred is fueled by misunderstanding; once two groups of people get to know each other and understand one another better the tension and hatred melts away.
