Yes, it's a really good one. It was Roland to Jonas.. am I right?
Roland would have understood.
I do believe it was
That was the very sentence Jonas would never want to hear in his life.
Roland would have understood.
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.
" "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. "
--Susannah to Roland, The Dark Tower HC, page 747
I have met this one in SoS:
"Because death was the gift that kept on giving. Dead, like diamonds, was forever."
Roland would have understood.
Yes, I love that one.
"Friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in a web of regard."
"Control the things you can control, maggot, let everything else take a flying fuck at you, and if you must go down, go down with your guns blazing."
In The Dark Tower,Spoiler: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.
truely beautiful one
Roland would have understood.
Two of my favourite quotes, both from DT VII. Spoilers too, say sorry.
Spoiler:
The other quote comes a little while later directed at a group of the less than grateful Breakers:

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!"
" 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."
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

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."
Rejoice, For very bad things are about to happen. Richard - LFGcomic.com
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."
Roland would have understood.
