Book Quote Game!
In honor of the CBIC, I am bringing this lovely, classic game back to life! It's a very easy game with very easy rules. One person posts a book quote, and if another person knows it, they reply with the answer and a new quote! For example:
CBer #1: "The end of the world started when a horse landed on the roof of my car."
CBer #2: Percy Jackson #3!
"You are familiar with the Tale of the Three Brothers, am I correct?" said _____."
And so on.
I have just one rule: Make sure the last comment is up before you post! Please! It gets really confusing when more than one person answer a question and post different quotes.
I'll go first.
"No, he knew you'd always want to come back."

So I've got some. They're of a different genre than the others, but I think you can handle it.
"I have almost forgot the taste of fears;
The time has been, my senses would have cool'd
To hear a night-shriek..."
"He had the eye of a bird, a vulture -- a pale blue eye, with a film over it. Whenever it fell on me, my blood ran cold; and so -- very slowly -- I made up my mind to take the life of the old man, and free myself of the eye forever. Now this is the point. You think that I am mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely and carefully I went to work!"
And an easy one:
“In the moment when I truly understand my enemy, understand him well enough to defeat him, then in that very moment I also love him. I think it’s impossible to really understand somebody, what they want, what they believe, and not love them the way they love themselves. And then, in that very moment when I love them.... I destroy them.”

Let's get this going again, I totally cheated and looked up what that last quote was from. It's from Enders Game!
Here's one for you guys guess:
"I am something!’ T called out. ‘I am someone. I am T, who strayed from the path and travelled beyond the Deepwoods. I AM MEEEEEEE!"
T, is the first letter of the character's name.

Here's one:
She usually wasn't afraid of weather. But it wasn't just the weather. It was the weather on top of everything else. On top of me, she thought.

I don't know the quote above, but I'm posting a quote!
"She never saw Oliver's eyes pop back open, keeping watch over her until the first glow of morning light."
I don't know how popular this two book series is, so I left the name in. Good luck! (only cheat as last resort please! ;-))
