Your favourite quotes? :spoilers:

[Mordred Deschain]

"Do any of us, except in our dreams, truly expect to be reunited with our hearts’ deepest loves, even when they leave us only for minutes, and on the most mundane of errands? No, not at all. Each time they go from our sight we in our secret hearts count them as dead. Having been given so much, we reason, how could we expect not to be brought as low as Lucifer for the staggering presumption of our love?"

I actually memorized this one.

[Letti]

One of my favourite parts:

He looked at Roland and sent a thought, as clearly as he could: Roland, help us.
And one came back, filling his mind with cold comfort (ah, but comfort served cold was better than no comfort at all): If I can.

[Darkthoughts]

Wizard and Glass - Shoes In The Road:

"But I have to tell you guys," Eddie said, "that its only gonna take about one more wonderful thing to send me around to the dark side of the Psycho Moon."

I love that because it alludes to the Pink Floyd/Dark Side of the Moon/Wizard of Oz myth.

[Chassit]

That one is awesome, I have a copy of DSOM synchronized with Wizard of Oz and while the band swears it is coincidence, the experience is uncanny heh.

[Jean]

The Drawing of the Three:

"He taught me if you kill what you love, you're damned."
"I am damned already," Roland said calmly. "But perhaps even the damned may be saved."

[Wuducynn]

From Song of Susannah (and my new quote on .Net)-

"When the King comes and the Tower falls, sai, all such pretty things as yours will be broken. Then there will be darknesss and nothing but the howl of Discordia and the cries of the can toi"

[Mordred Deschain]

a few of the books - Roland

"I deal in lead."

[Letti]

The Drawing of the Three:

"He taught me if you kill what you love, you're damned."
"I am damned already," Roland said calmly. "But perhaps even the damned may be saved."

*nods in silence*

Isn't it! You have to start the album after the 3rd roar of the MGM lion don't you? I've done it a few times (but probably never whilst sober )

[ZoNeSeeK]

There's a passage where Olive Thorin tries to seek comfort from her husband and is rejected, starting with:

"She slid in beside the gaunt, snoring man in the nightcap and when he turned away from her (his knees and back crackling loudly as he did) she pressed against him and hugged him tightly. There was no passion in this, but only a need to share a bit of his warmth. His chest, narrow, but almost as well known to her as her own plump one, rose and fell under her hands and she began to quiet a little. He stirred, and for a moment she thought he would wake and find her sharing his bed in Gods knew how long. Yes! Wake!, she thought. Do! She didn't dare wake him on her own - all her courage had been exhausted just getting here... "

"I cannot call you a sucker of cocks, for instance, because you have no mouth and no cock. I cannot say you are viler than the vilest beggar who ever crawled the gutters of the lowest street in creation, because even such a creature is better than you; you have no knees on which to crawl, and would not fall upon them even if you did, for you have no conception of such a human flaw as mercy. I cannot even say you fucked your mother, because you had none."
<...>
"I COMMAND YOU TO STOP IT OR I'LL KILL YOU ALL RIGHT HERE!"
Roland's eyes blazed with such wild blue fire that Eddie shrank away from him. Dimly, he heard Jake and Susannah gasp.
"Kill if you will, but command me nothing!" the gunslinger roared. "You have forgotten the faces of those who made you! Now either kill us or be silent and listen to me, Roland of Gilead, son of Steven, gunslinger, and lord of the ancient lands! I have not come across all the miles and all the years to listen to your childish prating! Do you understand? Now you will listen to ME!"

From DT 7:


Spoilers?

Spoiler:

..the one he always looked for , the one he always found. It closed gently behind him.

That last part gives me chills everytime I read it.

[Daghain]

Yeah, that's a good one.

[Matt]

Walter said something to Roland at the end of Book 1 about (during the size discussion, which I love) about how people are too afraid to see the truth of existence in a lot of instances.

Sorry, I am just rambling. I will look it up.

It's fricken amazing!! But the movie is longer than the album....from what I remember..

[Darkthoughts]

Yeah it is - like Chassit says, the band deny it - but who really knew what was going on in Roger Water's mind at that point...did he?

[Mordred Deschain]

LOL...he was probably writing the music while watching the wizard of oz.

This part is truly AWESOME! Well chosen, Jean.

Yes, it was amazing to reread this part. Thanks Jean.

I just heard this one again this morning, courtesy of The Great Sage and Eminent Junkie, via Eddie:

"Flip-flop, hippety-hop, offa your rocker and over the top, life's a fiction and the world's a lie, so put on some Creedence and let's get high."

[Erin]

Seriously, I was going to post that exact quote in here today. I listened to it last night on audio book.

[MonteGss]

Wow...we're listening to the same parts it seems! Cool!
