"all humans are but a spark in the darkness.
may that we all burn as bright"

(this is an alteration from a saying that goes;
"every hman life is a spark in the darkness
it flares for a moment, catches the eye and is gone forever.
a retinal after-image that fades and is obscured forever by newer -brighter lights."

My fave quote has to be.......ten times ten times ten.. out of the book follow the river. to understand it you'd have to read it.

[Xandra]

I have far too many favourites to count, or write down. One is the one from 'Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy', that Marshmallow Sky posted.

Another that comes to mind is:

'Oh, the thrill of the chase as I soar through the air
With the Snitch up ahead and the wind in my hair
As I draw ever closer, the crowd gives a shout
But then comes a Bludger and I am knocked out.'

-the poet Igolfr the Iambic

-'Quidditch Through the Ages', by Kennilworthy Whisp (J.K. Rowling)

Hmm, I have tons that I love XDD but here are some:

'Attucus told me to remove all the adjectives, and you'll have facts' - To Kill A Mockingbird

'A common troll game, where the trolls would flip a coin in the air, and bet on whether or not it would fall back down' - Terry Pratchett

I'm not sure if they are word for word, but it's the main idea XDD
