Looking Roland straight in the eyes - blue meeting blue amid the endless choir of voices - King said "I lied, brother."
I searched the thread and didn't come up with anything. 03-26-2011 09:33 AMJeaneven if you had, it would bear repeating 03-28-2011 10:09 PMLetti 04-02-2011 09:44 PMSefearThere are two I really like and I think they're both in Wolves of the Calla.
The first is somewhere along the lines of "All the training in the world means nothing if you can't deliver when it matters" or something like that.
And if anyone can find this quote I'd really appreciate it. It goes along the lines of "legends that last 1000 years are born in 15 minutes of battle" again I'm not 100% sure but I love both of those quotes 04-02-2011 10:40 PMJeancouldn't find it, but stumbled upon this one I love: "Roland nodded. "And the shooting will happen so fast and be over so quick that you'll wonder what all the planning and palaver was for, when in the end it always comes down to the same five minutes' worth of blood, pain, and stupidity." 04-03-2011 03:50 AMRainInSpainI remember this quote, too!
It's actually from Book 7, the very beginning of it, when Jake and Pere Callahan are just about to enter the Dixie Pig. The exact quote is: Battles that last five minutes spawn legends that live a thousand years.
This quote is followed by an equally memorable one: You needn't die happy when your day comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from beginning to end and ka is always served.
I've just checked - in the Grant edition both of these quotes are on page 5. 04-03-2011 06:03 AMSefearOh yeah I remember now, thanks for looking that up! 04-04-2011 01:47 AMRainInSpainNo problem, Sefear :)
The other day I had a situation where a good quote really came in handy.
I've been dreading a certain appointment (which, incidentally, is later today) for quite a few days by now. And I could not stop thinking about what could go wrong, yadda-yadda.
Then yesterday I was looking for a piece of paper with someone's phone number in a purse that I have not used since last fall - and, lo and behold, first piece of paper that I fished out of the purse pocket had this quote on it: Let evil wait for the day on which it must fall. (In my handwriting, so no real magic here. :lol:) I had a good laugh out of how timely it was. 04-04-2011 02:43 AMJeanyes, we all should once collect the quotes from this thread and make a kind of I Ching... or at least some fortune cookies 04-04-2011 08:09 AMRainInSpainI like the idea of fortune cookies! And then just have them somewhere handy.
Although I must say that in my case it was the suddenness of discovering that slip of paper that was the beauty of it all. :) 04-04-2011 08:15 AMJeandefinitely so 04-04-2011 11:06 AMalinda*fasinates* 04-06-2011 07:17 PMcostanzaKill if you will but command me nothing! 04-07-2011 05:39 PMblavigne 05-13-2011 07:05 PMh1x71First comes smiles, second comes lies and last come's gunfire.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!" -- Crimson King 05-14-2011 11:16 AMThe Road Virus"the man in black fled across the desert, and the gunslinger followed" (def the most used one probably but it is my favourite)
Ps. Sefear, that is perhaps the coolest avatar I have ever seen. I really like that pic 05-16-2011 05:57 AMbeam*seekerWe lie to ourselves so often, we could do it for a living.
