Hood Posted December 24, 2015 Report Share Posted December 24, 2015 The ending poem of The Crippled God has pretty awesome lines. My favourite are:- "[...] We were never what people could be.

Citadel16 Posted January 26, 2016 Report Share Posted January 26, 2016 Well it's a well-known fact, sonny-Jim, that there's a secret society of the 5 wealthiest people in the world, known as The Pentavirate, who run everything in the world including the newspapers, and meet tri-annually in a secret country mansion in Colorado known as The Meadows. (So who's in this Pentavirate?) The Queen, the Gettys, the Rothschilds, the Vatican...and Colonel Sanders before he went belly up! Ooh I hated the Colonel, with his wee beady eyes and that smug look on his face! Ohh you're gonna buy my chicken! Ooh! (Dad, how can you hate the Colonel?) Because he puts an addictive chemical in his chicken that makes you crave it fortnightly. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amrynn Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Here are 2, one serious and one ridiculous: "There's 7 billion, 46 million people on the planet, and most of us have the audacity to think that we matter." -George Watsky Sarge: "Get over here! Give me a boost!" Caboose: "Okay..." [walks up close to Sarge] Caboose: "You... are a good person. And people say... nice things about you." Sarge: "Not a morale boost, moron, a physical one. I need to see what's in that window." Caboose: "That window is very high. I don't think you are tall enough." Sarge: "I know. I need you to help me look through it." Caboose: "I don't think I am tall enough either. Also, my head is *round*, that window is *square*." 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hood Posted February 8, 2016 Report Share Posted February 8, 2016 I recently glanced over (not a re-read) over "The Gentlemen Bastards" books. These were my favourite quotes:- 1. “What's the n-never-fail universal apology?" "'I was badly misinformed, I deeply regret the error, go storm yourself with this bag of money.” 2. “I don't expect life to make sense," he said after a few moments, "but it could certainly be pleasant if it would stop kicking us in the balls.” 3. "[...] If your father says "bark like a dog" I say "What breed, Your Honour?" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
