Favorite quote from your main character

"Load up, Soliera. I want all those samplers in order. And double-check the roster before we start trekking. I don't want to backtrack because you left a spectro behind." Right. Like I was the one who'd cacked up the equipment list. I think he'd actually convinced himself that I was responsible for forgetting the crystallograph when we left Hebridea. That's me, Ribekka Soliera: tech sergeant, algorithmic cartographer, convenient blame-weasel.

 

I love this thread! Some quotes are funny, some inspiring, and others are spine chilling.

This is one of my favourite quotes from my current lead protagonist, Dave Brooks, as he's reminiscing about old times. 'It seems the older one gets the more the world disappoints.' Simple, but deep.

 

"They tried to tell me what happened to my parents, but I refused to listen. When one of the survivors who had been present began to talk about them, I fell to the ground with such a long and horrible scream that I terrified myself. I believe that scream was the sound of the old Asha dying in agony just like her loved ones, while simultaneously giving birth to the Asha you know as your grandmother.”

 

"Everybody has a place, unfortunately yours is six feet under." -Alexander Whittaker, moments before stabbing Cameron "Shockeye" Cabot through the heart with a pair of rusty gardening shears.

 

From the upcoming third part of my fantasy series:

Aelius cleared his throat, "As lovely as it is to see you Arianna, I do have a very painful arrow stuck in my back."

 

"You're like a... door bell! You get a lot of attention, but no one's really there to see YOU."

 

"Don't ever think that there is darkness in this world, friend. It may seem like darkness, but truthfully, pure darkness cannot exist here. This is a mere shade of black."

 

"!" he said, with a look.

 

“You’re so right. Remind me to pack holy water and stakes next P&F meeting.” P&F is parents and friends, the parent group that contributes to fundraising and such for a school

 

“I hope not. But still, perhaps I'd rather be resurrected as a cat.” When speaking about the possibility if MC dies during a mission, her master's ability to resurrect her.

there's also

“I won't. I won't until you turn that entire army around. When I'm satisfied they're gone, I will come out of this castle and face you personally.”

 

Scene: MC is a prominent figure of an armed revolution against an authoritarian government. Revolution begins to pick up steam, and one of the main antagonist politicians angrily arranges communication with the rebel forces via a camera on a downed satellite.

Antagonist: (angry) "Who is the leader of this outfit? Who is responsible for these attacks? I DEMAND you, step forward and IDENTIFY YOURSELF!!"

MC: "My name is Nicholas Walter Taylor . . . (pause) . . . and you can KISS MY ASS!" *pulls out a pistol and shoots the camera*

 

'Training? Training for what, to be fired? Keep it up and you be a big success!'

 

My main character (M) and my main antagonist (B) are pretending to be friends, but both quite obviously dislike each other and aren't afraid to show it. Snarking and pissing each other off is something they have in common. BTW, English isn't my first language and I don't speak it perfectly. All of these are translated by me so I'm sorry if there are mistakes.

They agreed to go on a killing spree together (long story) and she choose a victim.
B: "Good choice, sugar."
M: "Did you doubt me?"
B: "Can't blame the gentleman for being skeptical to the lady."
M: "Gentleman? You?"
B: "That hurts, dear. I didn't expect that from you."
M: "What can I say? I'm a bitch."

They went to a bar together and she got drunk, so he's taking her home. Note: he's a vampire, which is why his eyes are red.
M: "I'm fine on my own."
B: "I can see that. You're doing great, sweetheart."
M: "Your eyes are so red." *he picks her up after she falls* "Am I on a rollercoaster?"
B: *takes her home and leaves her in her bed* "Not anymore. Sleep tight, baby."
M: "Don't call me baby."

He's taking her to a bar and she demands that he pays.
B: "It's always my treat."
M: "You're two thousand years old."
B: "More than two thousand."
M: "Exactly. That means you have money. And you being a bastard doesn't help your case. It's your treat and that's it."
B: "I see we decided democratically."
M: "Get rid of the body and we're ready."

One of their games.
M: "Bastard."
B: "Darling."
M: "Moron."
B: "Love."
M: "Idiot."
B: "Sugar."
M: "Son of a bitch."
B: "I love you, too."

And yes, they really hate each other.

 

"I wish that people understood that everyone is so unimportant in their importance.”

The main character at his most vulnerable.

 

Heroine to School Mean Girl:
"You know Celeste, daddy can buy you many things," I glanced at her car and her oh-so-stylish clothes, "but in the end, you are still just a sad little girl looking for attention."

 

"Lies are like bricks. It don't matter how tough you are; if you pile enough of them on your back they will crush you."

 

*After my mc tells the couple visiting him at the orphanage he lives in that his hobbies are endless ( due to him being able to master anything from experimentation)*

The couple stared docile-like at him, waiting for an answer. Dante smiled happily.
"I'm only jesting, I like stamps"

*Another from my other story*

"Everyone has a story here" I say briskly, setting the supplies down on the floor. "There's nothing special about it"
The Mistress removes her hands from the jug and wipes them on the fabric of her gown. "Of course it's special" she says softly. "If the hardships of another weren't special we wouldn't learn anything from it"

 

Not my MC, but in reference to my MC: "I can vouch for her health. This morning she had the presence of mind to discuss the linguist patterns of chickens."

Even now I can't write that w/o laughing!

 

I like this character already. Mind if I add his/her quote on my growing list of favorite quotes?

Here is mine for the thread: “Believe in whatever you want. Believe in whatever keeps you going, keeps you fighting...keeps you from putting one in here.” <taps on forehead> “Just respect others and their beliefs and you will be fine. Emigo, we ride off! Hi-yah!!”

 

Oh course! I am sorry I don't have a name to give you. He is a nameless character at the moment. I call him "The Commander."

 

Then he shall be the Commander!

EDIT: Done. His quote and the source has been added.

 

"Okay. So, I'm going to close this door, put my genitals away, and we can start this over."
--Renoir Baptiste, when someone walks in on him changing in his office.

 

Is this list on here? Or somewhere else?

 

Ah! I knew I had something good in this old RP.

On the phone with a very nosy girl who has been causing a lot of problems, and who has just asked if they could meet somewhere so she can apologize in person:

...Jack smiled, and a hail of gunfire rang out from the TV. He turned it down some more. “Cupcake, do you know what I'm doing right now?” he purred. “I'm at home watching a French cop show, drinking Hemlock with exactly no clothes on. You couldn't pry me off this couch with a crowbar made of shark faces, it is Perfect-Comfy.” He finished his sentence in an urgent whisper, as if she were supposed to have any idea how important Perfect-Comfy was.
​

He brings out the best in me, really.
