I don’t have any off the top of my head, but I’ll think about it. Are you looking for funny quotes, or will any quote do?

We used to have one from the Hobbit, didn’t we? And one from the Lord of the Rings?

“Though under earth, and throneless now I be

Yet while I lived all earth was under me.”

— The Silver Chair

— The Silver Chair

“‘You have a traitor there, Aslan,’ said the Witch. Of course everyone present knew that she meant Edmund.

— The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe

“For in Calormen, story-telling (whether the stories are true or made up) is a thing you’re taught, just as English boys and girls are taught essay-writing. The difference is that people want to hear the stories, whereas I never heard of anyone who wanted to read the essays. “

‘Oh, you can’t help that,’ said the Cat: ‘we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad.’

‘You must be,’ said the Cat, ‘or you wouldn’t have come here.'”

–Alice in Wonderland

“The time has come,” the Walrus said,

“To talk of many things:

And why the sea is boiling hot—

And whether pigs have wings.”

–Alice in Wonderland, or Through the Looking Glass, something by Lewis Carrol anyhow

annnd the best one:

Those are awesome! Didn’t you also used to have one from DragonSpell? Something from Fen, I think. Wasn’t it that line about quests?

Alyosha – 19 hours ago  » 

*grins* Oooh, you have no idea what you’re asking for. Just wait until Owan shows up

*starts laughing* I’m here! Now, which books have you reviewed that I have favorite quotes from? Forgive my if some of mine match Alyosha’s. It happens.

“This is why I shall not tell you in this story about all the days when nothing happened. You will not catch me saying, ‘thus the sad days passed slowly by’–or ‘the years rolled on their weary course’–or ‘time went on’–because it is silly; of course time goes on–whether you say so or not. So I shall just tell you the nice, interesting parts–and in between you will understand that we had our meals and got up and went to bed, and dull things like that.” — E. Nesbit, The Treasure Seekers

“But in general, take my advice, when you meet anything that is going to be Human and isn’t yet, or used to be Human once and isn’t now, or ought to be Human and isn’t, you keep your eyes on it and feel for your hatchet.” — C. S. Lewis, The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe

“Perhaps it’s rude to notice when a wizard does something strange.” — Donita K. Paul, DragonSpell

“Most uncomfortable! Did we lose anyone? Head count! Lee Ark, Leetu, and Brunstetter. Three. Should we count the meech egg? No, I think not. Don’t drop it, Brunstetter. I’m to take it home and raise it. Ridiculous. Being a parent at my age. Where were we? Oh, yes, three. One o’rant, two kimens, two minor dragons. Eight. A librarian and a diplomat. Ten.” — Donita K. Paul, DragonSpell

“To the wise, a prick on the finger avoids a hole in the heart.” — Donita K. Paul

“‘It’s a wisdom that comes from seeing how things work. Things you want to happen always take a long time.’ She pointed one little finger at the meech dragon and shook it in his face. ‘You may read books and know bunches, but I have lived life longer than you.'” — Donita K. Paul, DragonQuest

“A mouse slid out from under his hat and scrambled down his sleeve, across his lap, and down to the floor.

‘Nothing,’ said Fenworth, ‘should distract from a wizard’s dignity.'” — Donita K. Paul, DragonQuest

“‘Wouldn’t it be most logical for her to change herself into a living thing, like a cat or dog, a bird or mouse?’

‘That would be the easiest transformation, but Risto is above doing something simple.’

“I object to that remark very strongly!” — C. S. Lewis, The Magician’s Nephew

“But he always liked to get visitors alone in the billiard room and tell them stories about a mysterious lady, a foreign royalty, with whom he had driven about London. ‘A devilish temper she had,’ he would say. ‘But she was a dem fine woman, sir, a dem fine woman.'” — C. S. Lewis, The Magician’s Nephew

(Would that be considered language?)

“‘Now sir,’ said the bulldog in his business-like way. ‘Are you a animal, vegetable, or mineral?'” — C. S. Lewis, The Magician’s Nephew

“‘Now it’s like a fog has lifted. I sense Leetu just as clearly as I can see the moon.’

S. Lewis, Prince Caspian

(I suppose that might be called British language? *should go learn more about Britian*)

“When there came a sound that I’d never heard the like of in all my born days. Eh, I won’t forget that.

And I said to myself, ‘If that’s not the Horn, call me a rabbit.'” — C. S. Lewis, Prince Caspian

Animals, not Talking Animals, were crowding in upon them from every direction.” — C. S. Lewis, Prince Caspian

“He was a very humane killer too, for he would dispatch a beast with one blow of his tail so that it didn’t know (and presumably doesn’t know) it had been killed.” — C. S. Lewis, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

“‘Am I to understand,’ said Reepicheep to Lucy after a long stare at Eustace, ‘That this singularly discourteous person is under your Majesty’s protection? Because, if not–” — C. S. Lewis, The Voyage of the Dawn Treader

“‘Puddleglum,’ they’ve said, ‘You’re altogether too full of bobance and bounce and high spirits. You’ve got to learn that life isn’t all fricasseed frogs and ell pie. You want something to sober you down a bit. We’re only saying it for your own good, Puddleglum.’ That’s what they say. Now a job like this –a journey up north just as winter’s beginning looking for a prince that probably isn’t there, by way of ruined city nobody’s ever seen– will be just the thing. If that doesn’t steady a chap, I don’t know what will.” — C. S. Lewis, The Silver Chair

“Aslan’s instructions always work; there are no exceptions.” — C. S. Lewis, The Silver Chair

“But fie on gravity!” — C. S. Lewis, The Silver Chair

“Shalt think otherwise when thou hast a man of thine own, I warrant you,’ said the knight, apparently thinking this very funny.” — C. S. Lewis, The Silver Chair

“You see, Aslan didn’t tell Pole what would happen. He only told her what to do. That fellow will be the death of us once he’s up, I shouldn’t wonder. But that doesn’t let us off following the signs.” — C. S. Lewis, The Silver Chair

“Here. All of you. And you, doorkeeper. No one is to be let out of the house today. And anyone I catch talking about this young lady will be first beaten to death and then burned alive and after that be kept on bread and water for six weeks. There.” — C. S. Lewis, The Horse and His Boy

“‘Who are you?’

‘One who has waited long for you to speak.'” — C. S. Lewis, The Horse and His Boy

“‘By gum,’ said Digory, ‘Don’t I just wish I was big enough to punch your head!'” — C. S. Lewis, The Magician’s Nephew

“This didn’t seem to have anything to do with Old Narnia, which was what Caspian really wanted to hear about, but getting up in the middle of the night is always interesting and he was moderately pleased.” — C. S. Lewis, Prince Caspian

“The whole journey was odd and dream-like — the roaring stream, the wet grey grass, the glimmering cliffs which they were approaching, and always the glorious, silently pacing beast ahead.” — C. S. Lewis, Prince Caspian

Some of them are a bit long, *hides* all my very favorite Narnia quotes are. I tried to delete most of them, but I couldn’t bare to get rid of them all. Don’t forget to watch typos/spelling mistakes when adding quotes. I mean, I’ve made several mistakes, I’m sure, so, becareful about cutting and pasting any of these.

[edit]Goodness, more quotes then I expected. I promise, I did choose carefully, these are only my top favorites and the ones that would work best on the front page and are almost short enough.

At this rate, you should just post the complete Narnia books. We could just read the whole series on the front page.
