I was rolling!

i know, i thought this was great as well. and roland's view of mayo is priceless.

"if you're in the trees, you got to swing"

"Ka-Ka".

I love it because it goes from being a smart ass Eddie comment to being kind of a part of Roland's vernacular too. So silly, yet so profound. It's a shame "Fate is shit" doesn't work as nicely.

On the pond? I don't remember it this way but my memory sucks. Isn't it "Time is just a face on the water."? *is unsure*

**Jean** · 06-14-2008 02:42 AM

it is water, so your memory doesn't suck - unless mine does, too

**Brice** · 06-14-2008 07:55 AM

No, it is definitely water, not pond.

**JQ The Gunslinger** · 06-14-2008 05:48 PM

Lol pond just sounds funny

"You have come from the shadow of herion and the shadow of your brother, my friend. Come from the shadow of yourself, if you dare. Come now. Come out or shoot me and have done with it"

The Waste Lands, page 240.

Best summary ever of Roland and his quest:

"Can nothing prevent the fall of the Tower?"
"Not even your gunslinger friend hopes to prevent it," Mia said, "only to slow it down by freeing the Breakers and-perhaps-slaying the Crimson King. Save it! Save it, O delight! Did he ever tell you that was his quest?"
"No," Mia went on, "for he won't lie to his ka-tet unless he has to, 'tis his pride. What he wants of the Tower is only to see it." Then she added, rather grudgingly: "Oh, perhapse to enter it, and climb to the room at the top, his ambition may strike so far. He may dream of standing on its allure as we hunker on this one, and chant the names of his fallen comrades, and of his line all the way back to Arthur Eld. But save it? No, good lady! Only a return of the magic could possibly save it, and-as you yourself well know-your dinh deals only in lead."

My first post on these forums. Greetings and saultations... I guess it is fitting for my first post to be one of my favorite quotes:

Wizard and Glass, Rhea:

"Men! She could not understand why so many women feared them. Hadn't the Gods made them with the most vulnerable part of their guts hanging right out of their bodies like a misplaced bit of bowel? Kick them there and they curled up like snails, caress them there and their brains melted!"

**Letti** · 07-12-2008 03:08 AM

vidroha! Long days and pleasant nights!

Yeah, Rhea must be one of the dirtest creatures I have ever met but she knew how to express her opinion. She should have become a politician.

Anyone remember the quote Eddie says at the end of book 2. something about how his brother had a tower too, only it was white or something.

**The Lady of Shadows** · 07-30-2008 12:12 PM

"You sound like Henry, man.” Eddie had begun to cry himself. He didn’t want to. He hated to cry. “He had a tower, too, only it wasn’t dark. Remember me telling you about Henry’s tower? We were brothers, and I guess we were gunslingers. We had this White Tower, and he asked me to go after it with him the only way he could ask, so I saddled up, because he was my brother, you dig it? We got there, too. Found the White Tower. But it was poison. It killed him. It would have killed me. You saw me. You saved more than my life. You saved my fuckin soul.”

**JQ The Gunslinger** · 07-30-2008 12:18 PM

Yea thats a great quote. Thx alot

**The Lady of Shadows** · 07-30-2008 08:13 PM

**Letti** · 07-31-2008 11:35 PM

Thanks turtle. I loved Eddie from the beginning so so much.

Agreed!

Roland really should have listened to that description better, it's quite apt for all "tower's".

From "On Turtleback Lane," DT7:

…From time to time Roland’s sigul sent him dreams of a field filled with roses, and a sooty-black tower. Sometimes he was visited by terrible visions of two crimson eyes, floating unattached to any body and relentlessly scanning the horizon. Sometimes there were dreams in which he heard the sound of a man relentlessly winding his horn. From these latter dreams he would awake with tears on his cheeks, those of longing and loss and love. He would awake with his hand closed around the cross, thinking I denied Discordia and regret nothing; I have spit into the bodiless eyes of the Crimson King and rejoice; I threw my lot in with the gunslinger’s ka-tet and the White and never once questioned the choice.

Oh, man...everytime I read this part I just about DIE!

Eddie's greatest moment in the sun in my opinion,

"It crossed the road because it was stapled to the chicken, you dopey fuck"

Oy looked at Roland, and for a moment the gunslinger wasn't sure he understood. Then the bumbler extended his neck and caressed the boy's cheek a last time with his tongue. "I, Ake," he said: Bye, Jake or I ache, it came to the same.
