    Our characters' quotes

    Somebody recently quoted one of my characters and I thought it would be cool to have a thread where we can put up zingers and thinkers from our characters, or characters from works by other writers here on Writing Forums.
    Extra points if you can link to the work or post where it appears.

    Quotes, not long paragraphs of dialog. Maybe.

    Okay, I'll start if you twist my arm.

    "The only things I learned from home were that church is a futile organization, and that you have to get a job, not study for it."

    (my novel "only" in progress, but I personally like that line a lot already...)

    Even modesty has its flipside.

    Step back there, Doc. Let me handle this for you. You're too close to the problem here, can't see the forest for the bush.
    (To Jude)
    Look, this man knows you ain't no hound dog; can't you see him peeping at you like a one-eyed cat in a seafood store? He just wants to be your lover, baby, don't wanna be your boss. Just wants you to give a piece a chance is all, just wants to wrap you in his warm and tender legs, help you make it through the night. Just wants to be your everything, your macho man, your teddy bear, your handy man, your salty dog, your overnight sensation, your meat puppet, your smooth up criminal...your lip-smacking, ham-slammin, joint-jumpin, nipple-nibblin', boogy-woogy foo'. Just wants to be your too live crude, so don't be rude to a heart that's nude. See what I'm drivin' at? If you had half a heart on your hands and half a hint in your head you'd see a stone white soul over there, just hangin' out drippin' for you.

    James Daniel "Jim Dandy" Earl

    Let's see if my above post is deleted without explanation. Wouldn't be the first time.

    ''example: i wish i could rip out a page of my memory, because
    i put to much energy in him and me. can't wait till i
    get through this phase, because it's killing me. too
    bad we can't rewrite our own history.''


    The example you gave is actually song lyrics from Kelly Hilsons song : Energy.
    So you could always find a song tha you like and use lyrics from it?
