These quotes can be from any books - fiction or nonfiction! They could be funny, inspirational, interesting, witty, or anything else!

Okay, so you need to know a bit of history for this to be funny. [Okay, you probably should read the book (Shatterglass by Tamora Pierce<3), but whatever]
Dema is the eqivalent of a private investigator, and the highest class citizen in Tharios, and with this phrase can order anyone to help him.
Kethlun is from Namorn.

'Dema drew himself up, his face taking on that
lofty, distant, proud cast that it had worn when he came
to Jumshida's house to arrest Keth. "Are you a citizen of
Tharios?" he demanded.

"No," Keth replied.'

Well, I think it's funny. But I suppose it has to be in context.

Interesting. XD

"Where there are legends, there can be hope. Where there are legends, there can be dreams of knightly owls, from a kingdom called Ga'Hoole, who will rise into the blackness and preform noble deeds."

~From the Guardians of Ga'hoole series by Kathryn Lasky.  

[Francois Bonnefoy]

"Ofcoarse it's a trap. that's what makes it interesting."

-Artemis Fowl  

[Otulissa]

I love that Artemis Fowl quote! ^_^  

[Furyal]

'Artemis sighed. He felt guilt. Ever since he found those contact lenses in his eyes, his mother somehow always could make him guilty.'
Well, I'm not sure if those were the exact words, but it's from Artemis Fowl: The Opal Deception.

I cried when Commander Root died ! I liked him. I didn't think he was that much of a sexist. I think he was just hard on Holly because she had true potential. XD I sort of shipped them together. Like in 4th grade. razz I don't count that as a true shipping though. XD A LONG time ago, I thought they were kind of cute together, but then I decided NOT to ship them. Because I like shipping Holly with Artemis! YAY! ^_^ Minerva and Artemis is kind of cute, too, but I think Minerva should be more of a best friend. Especially since they're both geniuses. ^_~

Holly x Artemis! I don't ship them HARDCORE, but I think they're good together. I'm not as obsessed with them as, say, Otulissa x Cleve or Ichiruki or Taang, though. I wouldn't mind THAT much if it didn't happen. I just kind of like it. ^_^ Just like Holly and Root in 4th grade I guess. xD;; Yeah... *is embarrassed*

Spoiler Alert for the Time Paradox vv

I was kinda like wow when Holly kissed Artemis, because I was going, well what about that other genius girl. But then I was yay, even though I knew it couldn't work :/

kkdone(:

"Excuse me," Alice asked. "Could you tell me where I should walk?"
"Okay, where do you want to go?" Said the cat.
"Of, it don't car-"
"Then it doesn't matter which way you walk."

OH MY FRINKIN' GLAUX! YES! YES! CONTINUE THE SERIES FOREVER!! Ahem. Holly and Artemis together?! YAY. To be honest, in Artemis Fowl, I don't hate any shippings, like in other books/animes/mangas. All lthe shippings have some sort of good factor, and they're all pretty cute! biggrin Of course I ship Holly and Artemis, but if Minerva and Artemis kissed, I wouldn't have been spazzing out. There's no 'bad' shipping. I used to ship Holly x Root actually...but after he died, I decided that he liked her more like a daughter/sister than anything else. And... the Graphic Novel scarred me for life. They made Root look like... A POTATO. Ahem. XD
