[Letti]

"If you love me then love me."

[MonteGss]

Cool thread Letti...
I've got a ton but here's my first:

"NOW COMES ROLAND TO THE DARK TOWER!"

[Letti]

"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."

[MonteGss]

"Say you're sorry for the way you were driving, you careless motherfucker! Do it now! Do it now!"

[Letti]

"Say you're sorry for the way you were driving, you careless motherfucker! Do it now! Do it now!"

:lol:

[Letti]

"You're not afraid of the great world, Eddie, but of the small one inside yourself."

[MonteGss]

"I kill with my heart motherfucker."

:)

[Letti]

"We are going to go, Eddie. We are going to fight. We are going to be hurt. And in the end we will stand."

[MonteGss]

"Kill if you will, but command me nothing!"

[OchrisO]

"No one ever does live happily ever after, but we leave the children to find that out for themselves."

[Jean]

and

something about gunfights, how they are over so quick. I will have to look it up. -also Roland

[Letti]

Yes ma'm. The Gunslinger, page 81 (revised edition;paperback) :)

At last at last I know it. *dances around*

I know, the same things happens to me too. I look at people's screen name and I break my head trying to figure out where it's from.

[MonteGss]

**is thankful that MonteGss is not from the books so feverishparade doesn't break his head**


"He darkles. He tincts. He is in all times."

[fernandito]

**is thankful that MonteGss is not from the books so feverishparade doesn't break his head**


:lol: Everytime I see your sn I think of the Monte Carlo's. Is that where it's from?

[MonteGss]

Nope.
It's a secret combination of words/letters that I can't divulge. Sorry. :P

[OchrisO]

"No one ever does live happily ever after, but we leave the children to find that out for themselves."

Who said it?


Roland in Wolves of the Calla.

[MonteGss]

"I don't like people. They fuck me up."

[ManOfWesternesse]

"Who sent you west, maggot?" - Roland to Jonas.

“I have forgotten the face of my father, whose guns I hope someday to bear.” - Cuthbert Allgood.

[Matt]

That second one is gold.

Man, it was really the little moments in this series that made what it was I think.

[fernandito]

"You need killing."


Roland to the man in black. :D

[Letti]

"I don't like people. They fuck me up."

I don't really see why people like and preger this quote so much but I know it's quite popular.

[MonteGss]

It's funny....I think. :)

[OchrisO]

It is popular because people do fuck other people up quite a lot, and it has made a great deal of people in the world misanthropic.

[ManOfWesternesse]

"If ka will say so, let it be so...." - always liked this one.

[MonteGss]

"I've been known to say some nasty things."

[Telynn]

I can't remember the whole quote, but the one that ends up "Shoot me Roland, before I breed." (The one about Eddie putting booties on a fucked up weasle.)

[fernandito]

You got it, Tel.

[Spencer]

The whole conversation between Roland and Eddie at the end of The Drawing of the Three.

[Matt]

I would throw in every conversation between the two of them in that book :wub:

Those two made me love reading all over again.

[B Rag]

"I told her about that laugh!" - The Tick Tock Man.

[Erin]

Oh man, I love Roland's line about mayo looking too much like cum for him to eat it. :lol:

[Telynn]

Oh man, I love Roland's line about mayo looking too much like cum for him to eat it. :lol:

I know for a fact that I laughed out loud at that one, because my husband (who hasn't read any of the DT books) asked me what was so funny. I just told him that I couldn't really explain. 8)

[ZoNeSeeK]

You should of. Maybe it would have gotten you both all sexed up. Perhaps give Felicia a baby sister!

[Telynn]

Another Felicia! :ninja:

[ZoNeSeeK]

Driving!

[She-Oy]

"Perhaps you saw what place our universe plays in the scheme of things - as no more than an atom in a blade of grass. Could it be that everything we can perceive, from the microscopic virus to the distant Horsehead Nebula, is contained in one blade of grass that may have existed for only a single season in an alien time-flow?"

[Matt]

Its that kind of stuff right there that drew me to the books and has also, to a certain extent, made me question the very fabric of reality.

[She-Oy]

Its that kind of stuff right there that drew me to the books and has also, to a certain extent, made me question the very fabric of reality.

Yep, that statement rests pretty heavy in my entire belief system. It's very Saganesque if you ask me.

[VolsToTheWall]

There's a lot of favorite quotes for me, but one in particular, that always makes me laugh on my re-reads is:

Roland: "Who is this man Zen Buddhist? Is he wise like me?"

[ZoNeSeeK]

From DT7:

"All is forgotten in the stone halls of the dead. These are the rooms of ruin where the spiders spin and the great circuits fall quiet, one by one."

[Telynn]

Isn't there a quote similar to that in the Wastelands, when Eddie listens at the entrance thing where the robots are?

[Ruki]

i'm not positive i've got the wording just right, it's so hard to go through a couple books looking for one little line, but it goes something like this...

"you can rank me to the dogs and back but i'll never lose the hard-on i use to fuck your mother"

[Chassit]

"I looked into It's deadlights and I wanted to be there"

[Letti]

There's a lot of favorite quotes for me, but one in particular, that always makes me laugh on my re-reads is:

Roland: "Who is this man Zen Buddhist? Is he wise like me?"

Yeah. Here is the proof that Roland does have a good sense of humour. :lol:

[Daghain]

"I told her about that laugh!" - The Tick Tock Man.
That one made me laugh out loud - hilarious!

[B Rag]

:P
Here's another great Tick Tock quote, although its not really a funny one.

"Have you heard of people with short fuses? Well, I have no fuse at all, and there's a thousand could testify to it if I hadn't stilled their tongues for good."

[Fly]

"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?"

[B Rag]

That's a good one, who was it?

[Fly]

I think you would have to say "the narrator". It isn't spoken by any of the characters.

[VolsToTheWall]

One more I like:
"Fools are the only folk on the earth who can absolutely count on getting what they deserve."


Another one that always cracks me up on my re-reads, is Eddie's Nozz-A-La commercial. :D
"When I'm travelling through the Land of Oz in my new Takuro Spirit, I drink Nozz-A-La! It fills me up but never fills me out! It makes me happy to be a man! It makes me know God! It gives me the outlook of an angel and the balls of a tiger! When I drink Nozz-A-La, I say 'Gosh! Ain't I glad to be alive!'"

[Letti]

One more I like:
"When I'm travelling through the Land of Oz in my new Takuro Spirit, I drink Nozz-A-La! It fills me up but never fills me out! It makes me happy to be a man! It makes me know God! It gives me the outlook of an angel and the balls of a tiger! When I drink Nozz-A-La, I say 'Gosh! Ain't I glad to be alive!'"

Yeah, this one rooocks. :lol: Eddie is an artist. :D

[VolsToTheWall]

I can't neglect this one either.

"And now, all these years later, it seemed to him that the most horrible fact of human existence was that broken hearts mended."

[VolsToTheWall]

And this one:

"Roland sings, Roland dances, and to top it all off," he said, "Roland stage-dives like Joey Ramone."

[Cuthbert Allbad]

From Dark Tower VII:

1) Callahan: "may you find your tower, roland, and breach it, and may you climb to the top."

2) Not a quote but a thought from Jake regarding things Roland told hiim......"you needn't die happy when your time comes, but you must die satisified, for you have lived your life from beginning to end and ka is always served."

This was followed by the line "Jake Chambers surveryed the Dixie Pig with a satisfied mind."

3) Not a quote but a line about Oy....."the body was far smaller then the heart it held."

[B Rag]

There's a lot of favorite quotes for me, but one in particular, that always makes me laugh on my re-reads is:

Roland: "Who is this man Zen Buddhist? Is he wise like me?"

Yeah. Here is the proof that Roland does have a good sense of humour. :lol:

I always thought he was being serious then. :orely:

[Jean]

it is a moot point. I, like Letti, always thought he was joking. By the way, I wish someone would make a thread dedicated to Roland's allegedly absent sense of humor. Some unexpected discoveries could be made.

[Telynn]

He said it as a joke, but for the main reason of catching Eddie off guard. Even his joking had ulterior motives.

[fernandito]

I don't remember the exact wording, but I like that line in DT VII when

Roland realizes his loop-fate, and he hears Cort's voice saying : "You are the one that never changes....you'll wear out a thousand boots on your march to hell."

[Jean]

He said it as a joke, but for the main reason of catching Eddie off guard. Even his joking had ulterior motives.
point well taken

[B Rag]

Hmm... maybe someone could post the whole scene? That way I could re-read it in proper context. I only remember the scene a little bit, so I can't be too sure.

[Jean]

Hmm... maybe someone could post the whole scene? That way I could re-read it in proper context. I only remember the scene a little bit, so I can't be too sure.

The Waste Lands (on their way to River Crossing: )

"Do you think they're dangerous?" Susannah asked. They were approaching a large, ramshackle building that might once have been a storage shed or an abandoned country market, and she eyed it uneasily, her hand dropping to the butt of the gun she wore on her chest.
"Will a strange dog bite?" the gunslinger countered.
"What's that mean?" Eddie asked. "I hate it when you start up with your Zen
Buddhist shit, Roland."
"It means I don't know," Roland said. "Who is this man Zen Bud*dhist? Is he wise like me?"
Eddie looked at Roland for a long, long time before deciding the gunslinger was making one of his rare jokes. "Ah, get outta here," he said. He saw one corner of Roland's mouth twitch before he turned away.

[B Rag]

Ah, I suppose you're right.

[Bethany]

Not a quote but I love "tooter fish". It has crept in to not only my vocabulary but my husband's as well.

[Cuthbert Allbad]

LOL!!! My children no longer are allowed to ask for sandwiches. Popkins ONLY!!! Funny how that DK speech creeps into our lives. I've been running around for months calling everyone "Sai" and saying "I cry your pardon" among others.

[Letti]

What a good idea, Jean.

[Jean]

it is not really my favorite quote, but when I saw this picture, I couldn't help posting it:

time is a face on the water

That pic rocks.

[MonteGss]

"I'll take that word from an old man who's lost most of his sense," she said, "but I won't take it from you."

[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:

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 :D )

[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... "

[Jean]

"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!"

[fernandito]

From DT 7:


Spoilers?

..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. :lol:

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? :lol:

[Mordred Deschain]

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

[MonteGss]

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

[MonteGss]

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]

:o :o :o
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!

[Letti]

They were drugged, stone in love, and to them, every scar on the face of the world was a beauty-scar.

[pathoftheturtle]

"I did it because a voice spoke in my mind and told me I must," Roland said. "It was the voice of my father; of all my fathers. When one hears such a voice, not to obey -- and at once -- is unthinkable. So I was taught."

[Jean]

"If dying was required, he intended to die as Roland."

[gunslinger19]

"Oh but there were those lamb slaughters eyes."

something about that line gives me a deep chill.

[Erin]

I'm drawing a blank with that quote gunslinger19.

What book was that quote from and who said it to whom?

[Jean]

Nothing was clear to Susan until she saw the man with the long red hair and the straw hat which did not quite obscure his lamb-slaughterer's eyes; the man with the cornshucks in his hands.

[fernandito]

From The Gunslinger :

"Will they get us?"
"Never in life. Be quiet a second."

[Letti]

I love this thread so much. I will come back later with some great quotes.

[gunslinger19]

"Oh but there were those lamb slaughters eyes."

something about that line gives me a deep chill.

As Jean pointed out it is in Wizard and Glass, but the wording that I have comes from Wolves of the Calla. I think it was Susannah who was remembering what happened.

[Jean]

it's Eddie, and you're right about the deep chill it gives:

The silence and the empty board sidewalks began to give Eddie the creeps. He remembered Roland's tale of Susan's final ride into Mejis in the back of a cart, standing with her hands tied in front of her and a noose around her neck. Her road had been empty, too. At first. Then, not far from the intersection of the Great Road and the Silk Ranch Road, Susan and her captors had passed a single farmer, a man with what Roland had called lamb-slaughterer's eyes. Later she would be pelted with vegetables and sticks, even with stones, but this lone farmer had been first, standing there with his handful of cornshucks, which he had tossed almost gently at her as she passed on her way to… well, on her way to charyou tree, the Reap Fair of the Old People.
As they rode into Calla Bryn Sturgis, Eddie kept expecting that man, those lamb-slaughterer's eyes, and the handful of cornshucks. Because this town felt bad to him. Not evil—evil as Mejis had likely been on the night of Susan Delgado's death— but bad in a simpler way. Bad as in bad luck, bad choices, bad omens. Bad ka, maybe.

[MonteGss]

I just listened to that scene on my ride home. :)
It is good to be on that book again. :thumbsup:

[Storyslinger]

Thanks for that Jean

[LadyHitchhiker]

Beans beans the magical fruit the more you eat the more you....

[Kyonn]

Not really a quote but my favorite line will always be:

"The man in black fled across the desert and the Gunslinger followed"

The simplicity and power of that line can not be overstated. It sums up everthing about Roland's relentless quest in one line.

[stevesnow]

I do enjoy a quote, and I do like this thread. I'm rereading the Gunslinger right now so here are a couple:

"He had never expected it to come to this, and he was sorry."

And secondly, a bit of a DT classic to me:

"He didn't want to fall, even though there was no one to see him. It was a matter of pride. A gunslinger knows pride - that invisible bone that keeps the neck stiff."

[Storyslinger]

I love that second quote stevesnow

[Letti]

I love that second quote stevesnow
Me too.
A very good one.

[_Sphynx_]

This one has always been a favourite of mine (and I know it's a passage and not a quote, but still):


"I had a dream last night, so I did," said Sheemie of the Mejis, whose life had once been saved by three young gunslingers from Gilead. "I dreamed that I was back in the Travellers' Rest, only Coral wasn't there, nor Stanley, nor Pettie, nor Sheb--him that used to play the pianer. There was nobbut me, and I was moppin the floor and singin 'Carless Love.' Then the batwings screeked, so they did, they had this funny sound they made..."
Jake saw that Roland was nodding, a trace of a smile on his lips.
"I looked up," Sheemie resumed, "and in come this boy." His eyes shifted briefly to Jake, then back to the mouth of the cave. "He looked like you, young sai, so he did, close enough to be twim. But his face were covert wi' blood and one of his eye'n were put out, spoiling his pretty, and he walked all a-limp. Looked like death he did, and frighten't me terrible, and made me sad to see him, too. I just kept moppin, thinkin that if I did that he might not never mind me, or even see me at all, and go away."
Jake realized he knew this tale. Had he seen it? Had he actually been that bloody boy?
"But he looked right at you..." Roland murmured, still a-hunker, still looking out into the gloom.
"Aye, Will Dearborn that was, right at me, so he did and said 'Why must you hurt me, when I love you so? When I can do nothing else nor want to, for love made me and fed me and--"
"'And kept me in better days,'" Eddie murmured. A tear fell from one of his eyes and made a dark spot on the floor of the cave.
"'--and kept me in better days? Will you cut me; and disfigure my face, and fill me with woe? I have only loved you for your beauty as you once loved me for mine in the days before the world moved on. Now you scar me with nails and put burning drops of quicksilver in my nose; you have set the animals on me, so you have, and they have eaten of my softest parts. Around me the can-toi gather and there's no peace for me from their laughter. Yest I still love you and would serve you and even bring the magic again, if you would allow me, for that is how my heart was cast when I rose from the Prim. And once I was strong as well as beautiful, but now my strength is almost gone.'"
You cried," Susannah said, and Jake thought: Of course he did. He was crying himself. So was Ted; so was Dinky Earnshaw. Only Roland was dry-eyed, and the gunslinger was pale, so pale.
"He wept," said Sheemie (tears were rolling down his cheeks as he told his dream), "and I did, too, for I could see that he had been as fair as daylight. He said, 'If the torture were to stop now, I might still recover--if never my looks, then at least my strength--'"
"'My kes,'" Jake said, and although he'd never heard the word before he pronounced it correctly, almost as if it were kiss.
"'--and my kes. But another week... or maybe five days... or even three... and it will be too late. Even if the torture stops, I'll die. And you'll die too, for when love leaves the world, all hearts are still. Tell them of my love and tell them of my pain and tell them of my hope, which still lives. For this is all I have and all I am and all I ask.' Then the boy turned and went out. The batwing door made its same sound. Skree-eek."
He looked at Jake, now, and smiled like one who has just awakened. "I can't answer your question, sai." He knocked a fist on his forehead. "Don't have much in the way of brains up here, me--only cobwebbies. Cordelia Delgado said so, and I reckon she was right."
Jake made no reply. He was dazed. He had dreamed about the same disfigured boy, but not in any saloon; it had been in Gage Park, the one where they'd seen Charlie the Choo-Choo. Last night. Had to have been. He hadn't remembered untill now, probably never have remembered if Sheemie hadn't told his own dream. And had Roland, Eddie and Susannah also had a version of the same dream? Yes. He could see it in their faces, just as he could see that Ted and Dinky looked moved but otherwise bewildered.

[Matt]

That's a great passage right there Sphinx, thanks for putting it out here.

[DTrose19]

" If you say it so, let it be so sia. "

I find myself using this one alot in conversation not really sure why.

and "Ka is a wheel"

oh good one. I think i can mentally apply that to my life.

"So what do we do?" Eddie asked. "You must have an idea, or you never would have sent him away."
"His great intelligence - coupled with his long period of loneliness and forced inactivity - may have combined to make him more human than he knows. That's my hope, anyway. First, we must establish a kind of geography. We must tell, if we can, where he is weak and where he is strong, where he is sure of the game and where not so sure. Riddles are not just about the cleverness of the riddler, never think it. They are also about the blind spots of he who is riddled."
"Does he have blind spots?" Eddie asked.
"If he doesn't," Roland said calmly, "we're going to die on this train."
"I like the way you kind of ease us over the rough spots," Eddie said with a thin smile. "It's one of your many charms."

[MonteGss]

"I was going to send it back but will keep it because I at least liked the pictures (especially Oy). But the story was a cheat. Can you spell CHEAT Mr. King? M-O-O-N, that spells CHEAT."

I laughed out loud in the grocery store when I got to this part again in the audiobook. :D

[ATG]

" Then why don't you want to look at it?' Sunannah asked.
" Because it is trouble," Roland said, " and it's in our road. We'll get there in time. No need to live in trouble until trouble comes. "
Wizard and Glass

[MonteGss]

I laughed when I listened to this on my drive this evening:

"Bark! Ark! Shit-bark!"

Where would I find, on the web, a great resource for quotes from the series? I'd love to save time from having to search the books themselves.

[Malficeus]

id say got to the who said to who thread they got alot just from plaing games

[Erin]

This thread (http://www.thedarktower.org/palaver/showthread.php?t=286), found in the Mid-World is an excellent resource for Dark Tower quotes. :)

"Bird and bear and hare and fish, give my love her fondest wish" -Roland either to or about Susan...cry padon if it's been posted!

"See the speed of Roland's hand. Even then, first among equals, he has his hawk airborne while the others are still pulling off their birds' hoods. The hawks are ore that simply creatures. More than just birds. They are examples for the young, would-be warriors. They hunt quickly, efficiently, dispassionately. They are killers by an instinct that need no honing. Would that the students were that fortunate." -Narrator, Gunslinger Born number 1

Smart.

[Malficeus]

Not really a quote but my favorite line will always be:

"The man in black fled across the desert and the Gunslinger followed"

The simplicity and power of that line can not be overstated. It sums up everthing about Roland's relentless quest in one line.

im with you on that one i say its the best opening line ever

[Mist_on_the_Water]

"Oy. Eld. Thankee." - Oy of Mid-World

I wish I had this kind of self-confidence.

[Girlystevedave]

Exactly!

[Jean]

I don't even know if was self-confidence

the man had sacrificed all his life to that one goal. He keeps justifying it to himself - both the importance and the feasibility. Or else everything would be useless.

“What was behind Door Number One wasn’t so hot, and what was behind Door Number Two was even worse, so now, instead of quitting like sane people, we’re going to go right ahead and check out Door Number Three.

[Ves'Ka Gan]

"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?"
The one I was thinking of was in the Wastelands, and I need to look it up--but this one did break my heart when I read it.

I was going through a divorce and so it hit me pretty hard...but now, long past that & in love again, it's still rings deep.

Lots and lots but I was reading The Dark Tower and I couldn't help cracking up at this one. Ok I won't quote all of it, but when Eddie gives Roland the money to get some aspirin and sandwiches. And he tries to get him to pronounce everything. 'Hoagie' become 'Hoggie' and then 'Hoogie'. He finally gets him to just say 'poor boy'. and 'lots of mayo', but then its a 'salommy sanditch'. I was rolling!

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*

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

No, it is definitely water, not pond.

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]

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. ;)

[JQ The Gunslinger]

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]

"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]

Yea thats a great quote. Thx alot

[The Lady of Shadows]

you're quite welcome. :)

[Letti]

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

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

[pathoftheturtle]

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.

[KaLikeAWheel]

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

"Oy?" he asked. "Will you say goodbye?"
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. :cry:

And while I was looking up this quote on Google, I came to this: http://belinda-rikku.deviantart.com/art/Billy-Bumbler-s-Lament-53926480 Caution, spoilers!

And of course, I love "Ka, like a wheel." :)

[RandoofGilead]

"I don't like people. They fuck me up."

I like this quote a lot. It is chilling yet comical.

A couple of quotes that I like that are comical that come from Eddie (of course)

1. Ka Ka when referring to how he feels about Roland's Ka.

2. Watch your ass, it's already cracked. :P


This series does have many 'satisfying' quotes from Roland though which I think is why his character is so strong and bad ass.

[Letti]

"Fucking lemons."

Where was this one? :wtf:

[BeDaN]

Can't remember what book it's from, but I tend to think it's true, it goes a little something like this.

"Never is the word God listens for when he needs a good laugh."

[leaveittobeezer]

"Fucking lemons."

Where was this one? :wtf:

I think it was SoS, when Eddie remembered Henry's stock market rant, referring to lemmings.

[Jean]

Yes, it was in SoS:

"One thing I would most apple-solutely not sink my money into is all this computer shit, Microsoft, Macintosh, Sanyo, Sankyo, Pentium, all that."
"Seems pretty popular," Eddie had ventured. Not that he'd much cared, but what the hell, it was a conversation. "Microsoft, especially. The coming thing."
Henry had laughed indulgently and made jacking-off gestures. "My prick, that's the coming thing."
"But — "
"Yeah, yeah, I know, people're flocking to that crap. Driving all the prices up. And when I observe that action, do you know what I see?"
"No, what?"
"Lemons!"
"Lemons?" Eddie had asked. He'd thought he was following Henry, but he guessed he was lost, after all. Of course the sunset had been amazing that evening, and he had been most colossally fucked up.
"You heard me!" Henry had said, warming to the subject. "Fuckin lemons! Didn't they teach you anything in school, bro? Lemons are these little animals that live over in Switzerland, or someplace like that. And every now and then — I think it's every ten years, I'm not sure — they get suicidal and throw themselves over the cliffs."
"Oh," Eddie said, biting hard on the inside of his cheek to keep from bursting into mad cackles. "Those lemons. I thought you meant the ones you use to make lemonade."

[JayFarson]

"Do you know you come to the line of Eld?" Roland asked in that same curiously gentle voice. He stretched a hand towards Eddie, Susannah, and Jake. Even toward Oy. "For these are mine, sure. As I am theirs. We are round, and roll as we do. And you know what we are."

[turtlex]

Please help me, folks.

Which is a correct quote, or are both?

Ka is a wheel

Ka is a circle

[Letti]

Ka is a wheel.
I have never seen the other.

Yeah, I love that conversation. One of the most underappreciated aspects of this series is its consistent, and at times absolutely brilliant, humor. I think people miss that part of Stephen King's writing.

[Gasher80]

"Please," he said, and heard the word trying to break into a sob. He kept seeing Roland lying crushed beneath the huge fountain. What had Gasher said? If anyone wanted him, they would have to pick him up with a blotter. "Beg if you want, dear heart. Just don't expect no good to come of it, for mercy stops on this side of the bridge, so it does. Now go down, or I'll kick your bleedin brains right outcher bleedin ears."

It's not really a quote but when Roland lost his fingers one of his first thoughts was how it was going to affect his masturbation.

But not for you, gunslinger. Never for you. You darkle. You tinct. May I be brutally frank? You go on.

[Geomon]

"The soul of a man such as you can never leave the west."

"The soul of a man such as you can never leave the west."

Yes, it's a really good one. It was Roland to Jonas.. am I right?

I do believe it was

[Letti]

That was the very sentence Jonas would never want to hear in his life.

[Brice]

Oh, I think he just LOVED hearing it. :D

[Geomon]

Yes, it's a really good one. It was Roland to Jonas.. am I right?

Yes. When I first read it, it struck me as being one of the most cold blooded and most passionate things you can say to someone, especially Jonas.

[Empath of the White]

" "There," she said. "You have your own glammer, don't you? Always did. You drew Eddie to one death and Jake to a pair of em. Now Patrick, and even the bumbler. Are you happy?"

"No," said he, and she saw he truly was not. She believed she had never seen such sadness and such loneliness on a human face. "

In The Dark Tower, when Jake dies comes the line "Roland's heart twisted like a rag in his chest and there was a moment to wonder how it could go on beating in the face of this."

I have felt this, and think this captures it perfectly.

[The Old Fella]

Two of my favourite quotes, both from DT VII. Spoilers too, say sorry.

Eddie who lies slowly dying after being head shot and has spouted mostly nonsense, suddenly saying:

"I do not shoot with my hand; he who aims with his hand has forgotten the face of his father."

This chills me just as it chills Jake's heart when Eddie says it.

The other quote comes a little while later directed at a group of the less than grateful Breakers:

"As you will," said Roland. "I've spoken my last word on it, and the next who speaks back to me may remain silent ever after, for one of my friends is preparing another, her husband, to lie in the ground and I am full of grief and rage. Would you speak more? Would you dare my rage? If so, you dare this." He drew his gun and laid it in the hollow of his shoulder.

"When Jake dies Oy says "I ake"

[circe]

There are so many amazing quotes here. One of my favorites has always been Jake's "Go then. There are other worlds than these." This following quote struck a chord in me the first time I read it and every time thereafter.....it just seems so relevant somehow.

"You doom yourselves, Susannah. You seem positively bent on it, and the root is always the same: Your faith fails you, and you replace it with rational thought. But there is no love in thought, nothing that lasts in deduction, only death in rationalism. The magic went away. Maerlyn retired to his cave in one world, the sword of Eld gave way to the pistols of the gunslingers in another, and the magic went away. And across the arc of years great alchemists, great scientists, and great--what?--technicians, I think? Great men of thought, anyway, that's what I mean, great men of deduction--these came together and created the machines which ran the Beams. They were great machines, but they were mortal machines. They replaced the magic with machines, do ya kennit, and now the machines are failing. In some worlds, great plagues have decimated whole populations. The machines are going mad. You've seen this for yourself. The men believed there would always be more men like them to make more machines. None of them foresaw what's happened. This....this universal exhaustion. The world has moved on." -- Mia, Song of Susannah

One of my absolute favorite quotes is from Cuthbert in Hambry

"I simply can't allow that. Nope. I would if I could, but I can't. Unsanitary, you see. Who knows what disease might be spread in such fashion? The mind quails! Ab-so-lutely CUH-WAILS!"

[osseolax28]

" What is is, but all is Ka."

" Done is done, and there will be no taking back."

" I pray to no god, I hold to the tower, and won't pray to that."

[Nightfall]

Just two off of the top of my head.
I used two hyphons in place of the longer dashes, I was never one for searching around for alt codes ><

This is your promise that things may be different, Roland -- that there may yet be rest. Even salvation.
A pause, and then:
If you stand. If you are true.


During The Wastelands when Eddie and Roland are talking one night.

"And if they decide to make a fight of it?"
Roland smiled grimly. "Then Eddie, we'll all remember the faces of our fathers."

[Letti]

My father," Eddie murmured under his breath just before Roland opened the passanger door and climbed in.
"Did you speak, Eddie?" Roland asked.
"Yes," Eddie said. "Just a little farther. 'My very words."

Has anyone mentioned Blaine's classic "Tough Titty said the Kitty"?

[GirlGoneNineteen]

"So much you did and so much more you would have done, aye, and all without a check or qualm, and so will the world end, I think, a victim of love rather than hate. For love's ever been the more destructive weapon, sure."

[gromit]

"I kill with my heart, motherfucker!" - S.Dean
