Favorite quote from your main character

Yeah I see a red hand-print in the off screen shot.

 

"Life is the lesson, love is the message"

 

Spoiler: Long Ass, winded set up for the following quote.

So, this isn't quite from my MC, but basically at the start of the story she is on a quest set down by her ancestor almost 500 years prior for his decedent to partake in, and with each of these "treasures" there is a piece of jewelry and golden statuette that symbolizes something about that place it's found in, for instance at this Fort that is a rabbit Farm basically, she found a Rabbit statuette. And on each of these statuettes is some random quote from her answers. Now typically, one would expect to find words of wisdom or something like that but not this ancestor. For instances on the Rabbit statuette he has a recipe for how to make the perfect rabbit stew

So now with the setup out of the way, on the base of a horse statuette my MC recovered, is the following quote from her ancestor:

"If man was meant to walk from place to place, the creator would not have given us horses,"

 

Léon left no part of me untouched, something René had never done.

 

From an MC who starts his adventure as a cable/internet installer and repair tech, before 'it' hits the fan.

"Knowing my luck one of the teachers managed to set the internet on fire."

 

A few lines of dialogue between two of my main characters, Sarah and Jade.

SARAH: Cut the crap, Jade. If you’re really my friend, you’ll give me the truth.
JADE: Will you be able to handle it?
SARAH: Just please don’t tell me it’s vampires.
JADE: ...You’re going to be disappointed.

For reference, we know at this point Jade is a vampire

 

So are quotes from my current WIP MC's grandmother, who is the FMC in a previous book (which needs to be rewritten, )

She says these to her daughter-in-law during her son's birthday.

"Hearty Drink Make Hearty Man, You make my Son weak,"

"My granddaughter (The MC) is growing up just fine, strong and hearty, like her aunts. She does not need etty-kit, nonsense,"

 

From my novel-in-progress. First line for context.


“Naw, I'm talking about the vibe of the place, man. Listen to the symphony of the melting pot. Open yourself up and feel.”

“I ought ta open you up,” Halfmar snarled, bunching his hands into fists. “You're as useful as tits on a mailbox.”

And a bit earlier, with the same characters:

“You know what ye are, Satan? You're a great big dummy, is what you are, and I want ta squeeze on yer head till stuffing comes out.”

 

From my MC for my current WIP

"Now that my Royal duties are dealt with, where is a good place to go mountain climbing, I need something to climb,"

 

From a rewrite of an earlier scene, one of Ragnar's nightmares. Joel's evil counterpart has Ragnar cornered in a warehouse full of cleaning products (it makes something vaguely resembling sense in context). Joel's armed, Ragnar isn't, and they're both alone.

Joel: You're all alone here. The elves have all your friends and I have an army.
Ragnar: Are they invisible?

 

"You wanna know what getting brought back to life feels like? It feels like not getting out of bed for a whole friggin day, somebody walks in your room, tazes the bottom of your foot, and you feel like dying again!"

 

Part of the odd conversation Marckus has with the woman who has been torturing him.

“Gotta smoke,” I ask her placing the cup on the edge of the desk.

“So does that mean you will help me,” she questions back, reaching into a drawer in her desk.

“That depends on your definition of ‘help’,” I reply as she slides a brand name pack of cigarettes and a lighter towards me.

 

"Got a smoke?"

"Gotta" would be I need to.

 

I see what you mean.

 

Nightmare Joel: Don't be snarky, Ragnar. The elves may want you alive but they never said I couldn't shoot you.

 

From a short story I wrote about mental illness and suicide. WARNING! This quote is super depressing and I was in a very dark place when I wrote it. I also want to provide a bit of context, so I'll be adding the question that prompted this response as well.

"Why would you cut your own skin, Jen? How could you do that to yourself?"

I smiled weakly and replied, "They always said true beauty was beneath the skin, so I grabbed a razor and started searching."

 

"The other androids don't have their "Mothers" calling them every night, crazy factory A.I.," - Samuel-9.

 

"We serve the fate of humanity" - The Tyrant

 

A conversation between a less-than-brilliant ambassador and my MC, Malchoir.
Malchoir: I'm sorry. I think I need to clean my ears out next time I shower, because I could have sworn I heard you say that you want to fly this ship into the capital city of Thorash and accuse the Primarch of treason. Give me one good reason why that wouldn't start a war we can't win.
Ambassador Krisa: Because I'm not that stupid.
Malchoir: Might I remind you that you were insulting me, to my crew, on my ship, not ten minutes ago? Because I dared to be busy at the precise moment you arrived without warning?
Krisa: *looks away awkwardly*

 

“They don’t have living skeletons on Earth, right?”

 

It involves my MC so hey.
(MC Caleb is confronting his brother Darren, who has lost it a bit and is very angry at Caleb, Caleb's friends and in particular Dantalion. Dantalion is a fairly powerful and tricksy demon that has been reluctantly tolerated by Caleb and his friends for his help and has shown some particular interest in working with Caleb)
Darren- "You don't know? All this time gallivanting around with him and nothing?!"
Caleb- "What?"
Darren- "He's our father."
Dantalion-(awkwardly)"... surprise!"

 

What without a question mark?

 

It's sort of a flat what, almost rhetorical, but yeah.
