Quote of the Week

Sorry for skipping a week. To make up for the skipped week, I'm posting two quotes now.

"A certain critic -- for such men, I regret to say, do exist -- made the nasty remark about my last novel that it contained 'all the old Wodehouse characters under different names.' He has probably by now been eaten by bears, like the children who made mock of the prophet Elisha: but if he still survives he will not be able to make a similar charge against Summer Lightning. With my superior intelligence, I have out-generalled the man this time by putting in all the old Wodehouse characters under the same names. Pretty silly it will make him feel, I rather fancy."


- Summer Moonshine by P.G. Wodehouse

And...quote number two...

“Who are you?" he asked.
I am the future queen of this world, at the very least. You may refer to me as Mistress Koboi for the next five minutes. After that you may refer to me as Aaaaarrrrgh, hold your throat, die screaming, and so on.”

-Artemis Fowl: The Time Paradox by Eoin Colfer

Quote of the Week

Happy New Year!
This year, I'm going to start posting a quote a week. These will mostly be from books I like.
This week's quote:


"Why were you lurking under our window?"
"Yes - yes, good point, Petunia! What were you doing under our windows, boy?"

"Listening to the news," said Harry in a resigned voice.

His aunt and uncle exchanged looks of outrage.
"Listening to the news! Again?"
"Well, it changes every day, you see," said Harry.

- Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
