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.

Ask not what bears can do for you, but what you can do for bears. (razz)
When one is in agreement with bears one is always correct. (mae)

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."

Roland would have understood.
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!"
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.
Roland would have understood.
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.
"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.”
Yea thats a great quote. Thx alot
you're quite welcome.
Thanks turtle. I loved Eddie from the beginning so so much.
Roland would have understood.
"It's his eyes, Roland thought. They were wide and terrible, the eyes of a dragon in human form" - Roland seeing the Crimson King for the first time.
"When the King comes and the Tower falls, sai, all such pretty things as yours will be broken. Then there will be darkness and nothing but the howl of Discordia and the cries of the can toi" - From Song of Susannah
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!

"It crossed the road because it was stapled to the chicken, you dopey fuck"
I'm going to mark this with spoilers - just in case.
