Quotes

[monkeyscorpion.livejournal.com]

We all know that the snark and great one liners are liberally sprinkled throughout all of Jim's books, and there are plenty of sources out there for Dresden quotes (Results 1 - 10 of about 105,000 for dresden files quotes via google). But what about Codex Alera quotes? (Results 1 - 10 of about 12,500 for codex alera quotes. via google). I think we need to spread the funny.

I'm sure there are loads in First Lord's Fury, but lets give it another couple of weeks and I'll do a post for just quotes from FLF. For now, comment with your favourite quotes from the first 5 Codex books.

To make them easy to go through, lets steal the format from IMDBs memorable quotes pages.

[book title, page #]
CHARACTER 1:
CHARACTER 2:
(etc)

or

Quote the entire section of text (much more typing, but at times makes more sense).

Page number would be nice, but I know sometimes the books are not readily at hand to reference.

Ummm... pretty much anything Ehren or Max says, anytime? :D

I'm still working my way through First Lord's Fury (I just got it on Tuesday!!!) but I'll hopefully have it finished by the end of the week, and then I can think about the quotes. :)

I know! (re: Max & Ehren)

I was just getting ready to put an Ehren quote up, but for the life of me I can't remember what book or page number it was on. Normally I scribble that down on the scratch paper with the quote, but of course, I didn't this time.

BTW: Can I steal the Pants icon? I literally had to put the book down at that point because I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe. :D

Want. Take. Have. Credit.

I made two versions:

^ I adore that quote.

Unfortunately I don't have my books with me, but Max definitely has one of the best lines, also Kitai.

There is a lack of sites with good quotes. Often I want to do icons and can't find sites to get the quotes from.

That's actually my main motivation for wanting everyone to post their favourites. Makes it much easier to find them for icon making.

I reread the entire series to get some good quotes (or that was the excuse, anyway ;P), and completely forgot to write them down! This means I must read them again, yes?! XD

GAIUS PRIMUS: But history can be quite the slattern. (Furies of Calderon, Prologue)

TAVI: (about Doroga) He followed me home! Can we keep him? (Furies of Calderon, Ch. 41)

FIDELIAS: (Clubs his opponent to death)
ALDRICK: That's one way to do it. If you don't mind spattering blood everywhere.
FIDELIAS: You got blood everywhere.
ALDRICK: But mine's in a pattern. It's aesthetically pleasing.
(Furies of Calderon, Ch. 13)

KITAI: I have a bed that could fit a mother gargant giving birth. (Academ's Fury, Ch. 55)

MAX: Legionnares are not afraid of dinner. Dinner is afraid of legionnares. [Princep's Fury, 127]

MAX: ....and not even she would do that with you, no matter how much money or burlap bags were involved! [Princep's Fury, 129]

MAX: Ambassador, in the course of my life, I have more than once been too ignorant to know that something was impossible before I did it anyway. I see no reason to jeopardize that success.
TAVI: It certainy explains your study habits...
[Princep's Fury, 85]

This are just I have written down, from when I read Princep's last week. I wish I had more D:
