Quotes from 'Third Time Lucky' ! 

So-totally in love with the series :P

Dawn <3

Picture

  • Mrs Gianini is immensely gratified to hear this, you can just tell. Old people like to hear nice stuff about their kids, even if their kid, like Mr Gianini is thirty-nine-and-a-half years old. 
  • All I can say is, be careful what you wish for. It just might come true. 
  • Or maybe it's just because my dad feels about Sebastiano the way I feel about my cousin Hank: I like him in theory, but in actual practice he kind of bugs me. 
  • Only unlike my dad, who was born and raised in Genovia but speaks fluent English, Sebastiano doesn't have a real keen grasp of the language. He kept forgetting to put the second syllables on to words. So narrow became 'nar'. Just like 'coffee' became 'coff'. and when he described something as magical, it came out as 'madge'. Even the butter wasn't safe. When Sebastiano asked me to please pass him the 'butt', I had to stuff my napkin in my mouth to keep from laughing out loud. 

Picture

  • And probably, given my luck, it will turn out that Sebastiano isn't just in town to design me a dress for my royal introduction, but to kill me so that he can assume the throne of Genovia himself. 
    Or, as Sebastiano would say, 'ass' the throne. 
  • 'Faint heart never won fair lady.' 
  • 'Lilly', I said. I had to keep my voice down so the driver wouldn't hear, up in the front seat.  'I am dead serious. He told me he loves me. I love you. That is what he said. It was completely random and weird.' 
    'He probably didn't say that. He probably said something else and you misunderstood him.'
    'Oh, what ? I glove you ?'
    'Well, of course not,' Lilly said. 'That doesn't even make any sense.' 
    'Well, then what ? What could Kenny have said that sounded like I love you, but wasn't I love you ?' 
  • Jeez ! What's that Oprah's always complaining about - about how men aren't in touch with their emotions and don't share enough ? It sounds to me like Kenny's been doing enough sharing recently to make up for several centuries worth of masculine reticence. 
  • I said, 'I know.' I was wishing the floor of the gym would open up, like in It's a Wonderful Life, and that I'd fall into the pool underneath it and drown and not have to have this conversation.

Quotes from 'Take Two' ! 

Like-completely yours :P

Dawn <3

Picture
  • That is not what you say to someone whose mother is having your baby. You say something like, 'Excuse me, Mia, can I see you a moment ?' 
    Then you take the daughter of the women with whom you have committed this heinous indiscretion out into the hallway, where you fall on bended knee to grovel and beg for her approval and forgiveness. That is what you do. 
  • I can't believe it. I'm going to have to eat breakfast every morning with my Algebra teacher. 
    And what happens if I accidentally see him naked, or something ? My mind could be permanently warped. 

Picture

  • Lilly dared me I wouldn't drop an eggplant onto the sidewalk from her sixteenth-storey bedroom window. 
    And I said I most certainly would, even though how stupid. Somebody could seriously get hurt. I am all for illustrating the degenerate lows to which America's teens have sunk, but I wouldn't want anybody to get their head bashed in.
    But what could I do ? It was a Dare. I had to go along with it. I mean, it's bad enough I've never been Frenched. I don't want to be a branded coward too.
  • After all, how bad could a date with Kenny be ? What doesn't kill us makes us stronger. That's what Grandmere says, anyway. Usually she's referring to slow waiters, but you get the drift.

I love this series ! :) Princess diaries is full of hilarious lines and quotes. I'll publish my favorites in this section. 

Like-Totally-Mia-ish-ly yours :P

  • There are about four million people in Manhattan, right ? That makes about two million of them guys. So out of TWO MILLION guys, she has to go out with Mr Gianini. She can't go out with some guy I don't know. She can't go out with some guy she met at D'Agostino's or wherever. Oh, no.
    She has to go out with my Algebra teacher. 
  • How come nice people like Princess Diana get killed in car wrecks, but mean people like Lana never do ? I don't understand what Josh Richter sees in her. I mean, yeah, she's pretty. But she's so mean. Doesn't he notice ? 
  • So what I want to know is, if my dad's a prince, how come I have to learn Algebra ? 
    I mean, seriously.
  • My mom likes to work when the muses move her. Since my dad pays most of our bills, this is not usually a problem, but it is not a very responsible way for an adult to behave, even if she is an artist. I swear, if I ever met my mom's muses, I'd give 'em such swift kicks in the toga, they wouldn't know what hit them. 
  • What do I need to know Algebra for, anyway ? They don't use Algebra in Greenpeace.
    And you can bet you don't need it if you're a princess. So however things turn out, I'm covered.

Picture
  • FtLouie: For your information, I did not go mental. I just got tired of your sister always telling me what to do. Not that it's any of your business.
    CracKing: What are you being so snotty about ? Of course it's my business. I have to live with her, don't I ?
    FtLouie: Why ? Is she talking about me ?
    CracKing:  You could say that.
    FtLouie: What's she saying ?
    CracKing:  I thought it wasn't any of my business.

    I'm so glad I don't have a brother. 
  • Mr Stuart teaches Health. He thinks he's God's gift to women. I haven't had him yet, since you don't have Health until sophomore year, but even I know that you should never go near Mr Stuart's desk, because if you do, he'll reach out and rub your shoulders, like he's giving you a massage, but everybody says he's really just trying to see whether or not you're wearing a bra. 
    If my mom ever went out with Mr Stuart, I would move to Afghanistan. 
  • Love can do strange things to people.

 
Hey everyone. I named this post Folded Pages because I don't know about all readers, but at least I have a habit of folding the pages of a book, which have a line or a quote that I love. Hope you like them :)

~ Don't mind god. He's just having a laugh. 

~ Please god, if you're listening and not busy sprinkling gold dust on all the lucky people of the world, please do me this favor. I thank you for your time and patience. You can continue gold-dust sprinkling now. 

~ You deserve someone who loves you with every single beat of his 
heart, someone who spends every minute of his day just wondering what you're doing, where you are, who you're with, and if you're OK. You need someone who can help you reach your dreams and who can protect you from your fears. You need someone who will treat you with respect, love every part of you, especially your flaws. You should be with someone who can make you happy, really happy, dancing on air happy. 

Picture
  • Things are just things - they have no power to hurt or heal. Only people can do that. And we can all choose whether to be hurt or healed by the people who love us.
  • Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Shallow minds discuss people. 
  • You can give without loving, but you can't love without giving.
  • If you can't return a favor, pass it on. :) 
  • In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life - It goes on. 
  • Don't let life discourage you; everyone who got where he is had to begin where he was. 
  • The world's most sensible person and the biggest idiot both stay within us. The worst part if, you can't even tell who is who. 

 
Aaannndd.. I'm back with more hilarity from Jaz!! :D
~ Kira
  • “You’re a damn genius. Do you think if I could make a gun like that little beauty you brought us I’d be dragging my sorry ass up some rock on my free time? Hell no! I’d be locked in my lab with my Bunsen burners on full blast, spreading beakers and whatnot across my tables and rubbing my hands like a maniac at the thought of what kinda wild shit I was going to come up with today!”
  • The deep, booming sound of the door knocker shut us all up. Dave and Cassandra rushed into the room. “Were you expecting company?” he asked me. I couldn’t resist. “No, David. All my Iranian pals are busy this week.”
  • In the Vampere world we’d be considered a couple of some sort. His sverhamin to my avhar. Certain rules applied, only a few of which I knew. He had to reveal anything I wanted to know about his past. In return — well — pretty much, I had to make sure he didn’t turn into a towering asshole, take over some small country, and eat his neighbors.
  • I could just punch him in the gut and run off, cackling, into the night. However, considering his eight-year-old mentality, he’d probably take that as a sign of affection and the next thing you know we’d be engaged.
  • “You and I should be fine. I have rescinded my agreement with Zarsa. I will not try to meet Badu and Hanzi until I am sure they will not be harmed by our reunion. And yet I sense you would cheerfully slam my head against the wall if you thought you could get away with it. Why is that?”
  • “Be careful, please. If I have to bring you back to life again, Raoul’s going to want something major, like a virgin sacrifice. And I need Bergman too badly to give him up at this point.”
  • It was blocked by a chained gate upon which hung a sign that might’ve spelled out why nobody but the owners were allowed to drive past that point — except I couldn’t read Farsi, so I was just guessing. For all I knew, it said, "Sick of living? Have we got a job for you! Inquire inside."
  • I looked up at him, his excitement so palpable I could almost reach out and stroke it, like a luscious mink coat I’d feel guilty about petting while I totally grooved on the furry. Lucky for us, my contrary nature drives me to poke holes in anything that seems overinflated.
  • “Ya scared?”Bergman nodded again. But he said, “No, not at all. Of course, my bowels are so loose if I stood up I’d shit down both legs. But I’m sure it was just something I ate.” They looked at each other for a couple of beats. Then they both burst into laughter.
  • If my knowledge of necromancy was correct, all we had to do was break his concentration, get his eyes off those zombies, and our guys would be able to destroy them. I looked at Vayl. Got the nod.
    “So you’re the son of a bitch who killed my brother.”
  • Before Albert could slam me, Vayl said, “I share your daughter’s concerns. What if your visitor decides to come early? At the very least, it would throw off our entire mission to have to bury you this week.”
  • “Let’s introduce him to Albert. See if he can resist yanking out a handful of this guy’s chest hair. Who told him he should unbutton the top three anyway?”
    Our guide held up a finger. Was that light pink polish on his nails? He’d better not be waving his hands around much tonight. If Albert caught a glimpse he’d tackle the guy and make him cover his hands with dirt. Or worse, Jack droppings.
  • “What the hell is wrong with these people?” he asked, his voice carrying at least as far as Glasgow. How refreshing that, for once, nobody knew we were related. “Gosh, Albert, I don’t know. Maybe they’d rather spend time with the dead than insensitive mooks like you.” I know, I know. Nobody can turn me into a hypocrite faster than my dad.
  • “Stop it!” I hissed, shoving dirt back into the small hole Jack had made. “If this is revenge for the neutering, I’d just like to remind you, that lamp you mistakenly took for a golden retriever cost me a hundred bucks to replace. And I’m still having issues peeing in my own toilet after catching you . . . ugh! It makes me shiver to remember! So if you think this makes us even, think again!”
  • “Trade me right now, or I swear we are not going Rollerblading at all next time we’re home,” I whispered. He dropped the unburied treasure and went for the treat. I’m telling you, this dog of mine is smarter than he looks.
  • “How would you feel if a bunch of nosy jerks came in and started stomping all over your grave? I know I’d be pissed, and I’m not even going to be buried.”
    “You’re not?”
    “Nope. I’m debating between being shot into space and having my body stuffed and mounted on a pedestal at the Playboy Mansion.” While Iona giggled I slapped my hand to my forehead. Where did he come up with this stuff?
  • “Well, come on. What’s romantic about pouring bleach down your throat when all you have to do is wait around for a couple of years till you’re old enough to tell your folks to shove it?”
  • Long sigh, followed by an okay-I’ll-deal nod. “Do you really think it will last that long? After all, you are an absolute pain in the rear.”
    “Raoul!”
    “Always interrupting me with your demands. Wreathing my head with obscenities. Borrowing my equipment. Bringing it back all bloody and chipped.”
    “I did not!”
    By now he was grinning. “Do you irritate everyone you work with this much?”
  • “Did you feel that?” I asked.
    Albert checked over his shoulder, as if I’d just warned him of a sneak attack. “What?”
    I pointed to the ground. “That. Just now. Like a mini quake?”
    “Nope. Maybe you had gas.”
    I cocked my head up at him, wishing once again that I could claim to be adopted. “You’ve gotta be kidding.”
  • “Hear, hear!” seconded a cheerful, barrel-chested man whose wild white hair made him look like he’d just had an amazing idea that would probably lead to the invention of a tasty microbrew.
  • I sighed. The fledgling romance I’d seen blooming in the woods didn’t have a chance if he couldn’t let me go. “Dude, you need to find a girl who loves you and needs you. I don’t think you realize how much you enjoy protecting people. If you did, you’d see there’s a woman in this room right now who fits you like a damn Speedo.” “That’s pretty tight.”
    “Uh-huh.”
  • “We would’ve been good, Jaz.” “Maybe. Until you left me. Or I killed you. Whichever came first.”
  • Vayl murmured, “I was going to search the bedrooms while everyone enjoyed the show down here. But perhaps, considering the frustration rising off you like lethal radiation, you would prefer that task?”
  • “Are you kidding? I’d agree to play the pony at a five-year-old’s birthday party if it meant we were making some sort of progress on this crap deal.”
  • Rhona slept in the full-sized bed, making enough racket to shake the table, the lamp, and the nearly empty bottle of sleeping pills beside her. A green mud pack covered her face and she’d pulled an orange shower cap contraption over her hair. Seriously, if I’d encountered her in the hall and I was drunk, or under the age of twelve, I’d have screamed, “Alien!”
 
Here are some of my really really REALLY fave quotes from the awesomest (aftr georgia nicolson - ofcourse) Jaz Parks series by Jennifer Rardin! As there are so many, i'm dividing them into parts. Hope you like them too. :)
luv,
Kira
  • "We took a path lined with Japanese lanterns around to the front of the house, uh, mansion, um, pretentious freaking monstrosity posing as a home. Yeah, that's more like it."
  • Sometimes things would be so much simpler if you could just pull out your gun and shoot the bad guy. Reason number seventeen why Indiana Jones is my hero. :D
  • "I don't want to go. What if the monster eats my soul?" I sounded like a three-year-old, cowering under the covers, knowing what sleeps under the bed. But I was scared, more even than when I'd been young and dumb enough to believe I could survive anything.Vayl stared into my eyes, willing me to believe him. "It won't. ...And if it does, we will hang it by the ankles and thump it on the back until it coughs you up."
  • My family had subjected to nearly one hundred years worth of blood and guts. We seem to spawn killers, no doubt about that. I found myself hoping that E.J. could break the chain. Maybe when I got a free second I'd give her a call and make that suggestion. Never mind that she was less than a month old and would spend the entire time trying to eat the receiver. It's never too early to start brainwashing your young.
  • Okay, Jaz, you are now in damage-control mode. That means you may not flip out all the way. No word looping. No blackouts. And no card shuffling —until you’re alone. At which time if you want to swing from the chandelier and bark like a German shepherd, go right ahead. Until then—play sane.
  • She left at a regal, controlled pace although I suspected she would’ve enjoyed it more if she could’ve stomped on his foot and run off, cackling madly as she receded into the Texas dawn.
  • “I am an old woman, you know,” she said pitifully. I leaned over and patted her hand. “Don’t be so hard on yourself. Even now you don’t look a day over seven hundred.”
  • I’m thinking maybe you should not follow your first instincts when we speak to these boys’ fathers, because tearing their arms off and beating them over the heads with them is not going to solve the ultimate problem.
  • “Don’t worry,” I said, patting the gun holstered under my armpit. “We have a backup plan.” Actually I could’ve patted other areas of my body as well, but then I’d have either looked like I was hunting for matches or feeling myself up. Either way, a lame way to communicate that I’d added some blades to the mix as well.
  • I squinted and it came clearer. Okay, so I guessed I’d have to do this looking as if I needed a good pair of bifocals. Why, oh why, couldn’t I once receive a Supernatural Gift that required a good tan and my own personal stylist?
  • “I had to see you, Jaz.” I spun, as I recognized my mother’s voice. It was coming out of Viv’s mouth. I saw her features settle over Viv’s, her honey-colored hair falling over Viv’s blond locks like a bad wig. “I knew you wouldn’t talk to me, so I tried to get to you through your father. But he’s harder to communicate with than a teenager with his iPod blasting” She sent Albert a dirty look, which he returned times twelve.
  • And how exactly did I feel about an extended visit with dear old Pops? When he turned his back on me to open the door I performed several head kicks and one sweeping skull punch that just missed him every time. "My Dad Is an Asshole". I’m telling you, it’s going to be a bestseller.
  • If he’s found another stray from the department’s hit list I’m going to bang my head against the van. Strike that. I’m going to bang his head against the van. No, that’s not hard enough. Maybe the side of the house.
  • I kept Lucille’s sweet smile on my face, but my inner eye narrowed when nobody responded, allowing me to ask the question I really wanted answered. Which one of you bitches is going to die this week?
  • “He’s divorced. And she’s dead.”
    “Is she a ghost?” asked Rhona.
    “No.” Should we be thankful for that small favor? Can I get a hell yeah?
  • “Cole—,” Vayl began, the growl in his tone a clear territorial warning.
    “Fine,” Cole told him. “You can be in the fantasy too. But fully dressed. Blindfolded. And playing the accordion while a monkey sits on your head like a little monkey hat.”
  • I gave the dog a good rubdown. “You know why you’re here, you panting, pooping mink coat, do you? So we can practice biting bad guys in the nuts, right? Because that’s your new trick, isn’t it?” I smiled at Cole from between Jack’s ears, which perked with interest as I asked, “Who do you think we should practice on next?” Jack looked over his shoulder at Cole and ran his massive pink tongue across his lips and nose.
  • “You’re nicer to that dog than you are to me. You know that, right?” asked Cole. “Sorry,” I said, with real regret. “But you have to admit, he’s a lot less demanding.” Vayl slipped his hands into the pockets of his black jeans. “Would it make you feel better to know she does not sleep with Jack either?”
  • I leaned over to get a better view. Then I grabbed Cole’s arm and squeezed. “If that’s a gnome whose crotch Jack is nosing, I’m going to tie your hair in a bun and sell you to the pirates who operate off this coast. I hear they’re always looking for fresh young girlfriends.”
  • “Dammit, Cole, couldn’t you have at least rented something with an engine?” I barked. “If I lifted the hood on this sucker I’ll bet I’d see the skeleton of Tigger, because this car hasn’t had any bounce since Reagan was president.”
  • Bergman looked at him like he’d just made the worst financial investment of his life. “Kangaroos are wild animals. I’ve heard they claw like girl fighters and kick like jackhammers. You’re going to get your skull crushed.”
  • “Hey, don’t let Jack pee on the tripod, okay? Tell him it’s my territory.” “If you peed on it he’d know without anyone having to say a word,” I told him.
  • I said, “I’ll cover the damages, of course.” Though, considering what it must’ve cost to put Astral together, by the time I’d even halved the payment we’d probably both have forgotten about my debt, along with each other’s names and where we’d left our teeth the night before.
  • Her image appeared behind my eyes, dressed for church. She stood at the top of her steps, her bag matching her sensible brown slip-ons. I knew it contained a few bucks for the offering as well as coloring supplies for us kids and a crossword book for her. She liked to say that she heard the Lord clearest when the rever...end was droning and she couldn’t for the life of her figure out eighteen across.
  • I don’t get guys half the time. But—I smiled to myself as we turned back for the house—they can be awful damn fun.
 
Well, I thought it was finally time to post start posting on here. :P And I'm a big fan of quotes since they have deep meanings, even though they consist of a few lines. Here are some of the ones I love and stick on my soft-board. They keep my spirits up and I hope you like them too ! :)

Love, Dawn <3 

->Trusting god doesn't make the mountain smaller. It just makes the climbing easier. :) [yeah, I'm very religious] 

->Believe where others doubt, work where others refuse, save where others waste and stay when others quit. Dare to be different.

->Those who believe they can do something and those who believe they can't, are both right

->Good things fall apart so better things can fall together. :) 

->Luck is something which comes to you when destiny gets tired of waiting. :) 

->3 people can only keep a secret if 2 are in their graves. ;)

->"This is your life right now. It doesn't wait for you to get back on your feet." - A Lot Like Love. 

->"What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger." - Dowager Princess Clarisse Renaldo, Princess Diaries :P 

->Friendship is unnecessary, like art or philosophy - It has no survival value. Rather it is one of those things that give value to survival. 

And one of my faves - 

-> Sooner or later, we all discover that the important moments in life are not the advertised ones, not the birthdays, not the graduations, the weddings, not the great goal achieved. The real milestones are less prepossessing. They come to the door of memory unannounced. They wander around a bit and simply never leave. Our lives are measured by these. :) <3
