"Sorry. Wrong door. I thought it was the desert."
"Sorry. Wrong door. I thought it was the desert."
Pretty sure I don't remember that quote.
Margaret Emmie Mackey Catoe, you are, have been, and always will be my soulmate, and I love you.
Con todo mi corazon, por todo de mis dias. And I always will, in this life and into the next.
August 2, 1947 - September 24, 2010
I didn't look through all 14 pages of this thread, but I always liked Cort's;
"Why is a crooked letter and can't be made straight."
I know they are classics but they are my favorites.
"There are other worlds than these"
"All things serve the beam"
"See the turtle of enormous girth"
The Dark Tower
Edit: How did I forget "Mordred he's a-hungry"
Future quotes to be tattooed:
"Go then there are other worlds than these"
"All things serve the beam"
Has no one mentioned this one yet (I'm appalled):
"All right," Roland says hoarsely, looking around at his few remaining men. "We're going into them. And will accept no quarter. "
"Nope, no quarter, absolutely none, " Cuthbert says.
"We will not accept their surrender if offered. "
"Under no circumstances!" Cuthbert agrees, laughing harder than ever. "Not even should all two thousand lay down their arms."
"Then blow that fucking horn."
Thanks, ladies.
Oh, and I was also very deeply moved by the exchange between the Pere and Jake outside the Dixie Pig, before they make their stand:
Jake nodded, satisfied. "Once we're in, we stay together. Always together, with Oy between.
On three. And once we start, we don't stop until we're dead."
"Never stop."
"Right. Are you ready?"
"Yes. God's love on you, boy."
"And on you, Pere. One . . . two . . . three." Jake opened the door and together they went into dim light and the sweet tangy smell of roasting pork.
In fact, the whole Dixie Pig experience is really Jake's defining moment for me. Think about it, a 12 year old boy going in to battle against an army of vampires and horrifying beast-men. The cajones on that kid!
Remember this little gem?
Jake went to what he was sure would be his death remembering two things Roland Deschain, his true father, had said.
"Battles that last five minutes spawn legends that live a thousand years."
And "You needn 't die happy when your day comes, but you must die satisfied, for you have lived your life from beginning to end and ka is always served."
Jake Chambers surveyed the Dixie Pig with a satisfied mind.
There was line that really stuck to me, and I swear it was in W&G, but I can't seem to find it and nobody seems to remember it.
It was something like
"They were young, their blood ran hot, and they never doubted their ability to change everything".
Its driving me crazy. If nothing else, it reminds me of Roland and Susan, so thats a plus haha
"Sorry, wrong door, I thought it was the desert."
I forgot about that one! It's when Jake is losing his mind in NY because of the voices and he believes every door will take him back to Roland's world -- so he opens the door to the girls' bathroom, and when the girl asks him what the hell he's doing, he's just so matter of fact about it. "I thought it was the desert."
"We deal in lead"

So true.
