Request for favorite quotes!
Hey everyone,
We're doing some late Summer renovations at The Cult and one of the sections we would like to improve upon is our Book sections. We never had a great Quotes addition to each book section. Rather, I had to do outside links to other fan pages that had compiled their list of quotes. But many of these fan sites are no long gone, rendering the link defunct on our end.
So we need you to help us out! Everyone post their favorite SURVIVOR quotes in this thread as replies. After a week or so, we'll take all the quotes and compile them a new quotes sub-section for the respective master section.
Thanks!

Watch 'Laundry Day', my new horror short:
The first time you meet that someone special, you can count on them one day being dead and in the ground.

to continue with that theme I like it in all its glory;
"A guy's calling to say he's failing Algebra II.
Just as a point of practiice I say, Kill yourself.
A woman calls and says her kids won't behave.
Without missing a beat, I tell her, Kill yourself.
A man calls to say his car won't start.
Kill yourself.
A woman calls to ask what time the late movie stars.
Kill yourself.
She asks, "Isn't this 555-1327? Is this the Moorehouse Cineplex?"
I say, Kill yourself. Kill yourself. Kill yourself.
A girl calls and asks, "Does it hurt very much to die?"
Well sweetheart, I tell her, yes, but it hurts a lot more to keep living." pg 237

This is fish number six hundred and forty-one in a lifetime of goldfish. My parents bought me the first one to teach me about loving and caring for another living breathing creature of God. Six hundred and forty fish later, the only thing I know is everything you love will die. The first time you meet that someone special, you can count on them one day being dead and in the ground.
It figures this comes up when I've lent the book to somebody else.
The only one I can remember is something like "I want to coat my whole life in topical anesthetic."
"The same as if a tree falls in the forest and no one is there to hear it, you realize, if no one had been there to witness the agony of Christ, would we be saved?"
"And if Christ had died from a barbituate overdose, alone on the bathroom floor, would He be in heaven?"
"Here are condoms lined with a topical anesthetic for prolonged action. What a paradox. You don't feel a thing, but you can fuçk for hours. This really seems to miss the point. I want my whole life to be lined with a topical anesthetic."
"The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person."
"What do you call a caseworker who hates her job and loses every client?
Dead.
What do you call the police worker zipping her into a big rubber bag?
Dead.
What do you call the television anchor on camera in the front yard?
Dead.
It does not matter. The joke is we all have the same punch line."
oh wait, maybe that fourth one is from invisible monsters...oops
EDIT; Wrong Thread.
"Excuse me sir, Did you wash your hands after you took that big heaping dump. You know that sign, that sign says ALL employees MUST wash their hands after using the restroom, What part of that do you not understand?"- Malcom X
"Would you care to lick my sweaty baulz after they have been dipped in the finest venerial juices and sauteed in my own ass-sweat, madam?"- Winston Churchill
"Churches in the outside world, my brother told me, were just the local stores that sold people lies made up in the distant factories of giant religions."
"The joke is we all have the same punchline."
"The skeleton is just a way to keep your tissue off the floor."
"Since change is constant, you wonder if people crave death because it's the only way you can get anything really finished."
"Amphetamines are the most American drug. You can get so much done. You look terrific, and your middle name is Accomplishment."
"The waitress brings the chicken stir-fry and my lemon meringue pie and fills our coffee cups. Then she smiles and goes off to die."
"Here are condoms lined with a topical anesthetic for prolonged action. What a paradox. You don't feel a thing, but you can fuck for hours."
"You can't trust me around anybody's brother with a telephone or a rock."
Falling feels like flying
Until you hit the ground
"You wonder, if there had been a low turnout at the crucifixion, would they have rescheduled?"
The sky is blue and righteous in every direction. The sun is total and burning and just there in front. We're on top of the clouds and this is a beautiful day forever.
it has no personal or philisophical meaning, i just think its a really beautiful piece of writing, i cant explain why...

My signature. funniest quote in the book i think lol
"If we don't take action now, we'll settle for nothing now, and we'll settle for nothing later"
I like "Part of her doing suicide intervention is my caseworker has to mix me another gin and tonic."

I was drawn by your gentle song...
Your pure white tears flow away with the wind
And cut time in two.
"May I be of complete and utmost service.
Let my ever task be my grace.
In my evert labor lies my salvation.
Let my effort not be wasted.
Through my works may I save the world."

By far my favorite quote of all time i live my life by this. (ask anyone i know i say this and write it on everything)
She had a firm handshake like that of a virgin who knew more than she should.
Madeline_Dancer, nice job, lots of quotes (the 4th one is from invisible monsters... but you had a bunch of awesome ones!)
Only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love...

"Testing, testing, one, two-"
I just loved that. So abrupt. Leaving me craving for more Chuck.
"Whatever happened in the world was a decree from God. A task to be completed. Any crying or joy just got in the way of your being useful. Any emotion was decadent. Anticipation or regret was a slly extra. A luxury." pp. 273
"And maybe this is just a trick of the light, but I've eaten almost the whole lobster before I notice the heart beat." pp. 260
"From so high up on my ladder, the thin bendable little arms and legs of the girl make me look agaon and again and wonder if someday I could be a pedophile." pp. 257
"My goldfish is swimming around all excited in it's fishbowl on the fridge so I reach up and drop a valium in it's water." pp. 282
"This is getting nowhere with the girl in the dance club so I tell her, Kill yourself.
She's saying, 'What?'
Kill yourself.
She's saying, 'What?'
Try barbiturates and alcohol with your head inside a dry leaning bag.
She's saying, 'What?'
You cannot bread a veal cutlet and do a good job with only one hand so I tell her, now or never. Pull the trigger or don't. I'm with her right now. She's not going to die alone, but I don't have all night." pp. 282

I read that book on the airplane to New York a couple months ago, it's the perfect airplane book, they should sell copies at those kiosks...but now I can't find the thing. A couple of stand out lines are (and I may not have these exactly correct):
"It was drugs that saved my life."
"These are broken homes, dysfunctional homes."
When we call soccer 'football' the terrorists have won.

Better late then never aye? My favorite quote is:
In case there's a sniper outside, I open the blinds and stand my gross obese body in the window. Please, anybody with a rifle and a scope. Shoot me right here. Right in my big fat heart. Right in my little wiener.
"Iv never seen an armish guy before.
you still havent"
another pointless post brought to you by me

It’s all a dream until you wake up and realize that you never slept last night and that’s real blood on your hands. The axe you can see in the corner of your eye, that’s your axe. You used it last night when you killed her. It all comes flooding back. Now you start thinking.
Where’s the body?
Can it be traced to me?
Who the fuck did I kill?
What’s happening to me?
I didn’t do this shit, did I?

I was actually going to make a thread like this aswell, but my favorite would probably be when they talk about how everything is a set of patterns no free will. Not really a quote but still an important statement.
"I'm Rick James, BITCH!"
Not really but whatever.
Oh yeah, I'm like back and stuff.

Also, The part about how 'the porno industry get's rich' off the PornFill:
"Okay, the agent told me. Richer."

i like the quote in invisible monsters where it talks about how we are all products. i don't remember the exact quote but it is exactly how i feel. it seems that if you don't look a certain way or dress a certain way or act a certain way, you are labelled as weird and an outcast. for me, it is almost a chore to go shopping because i feel that i am just projecting the image that other people want to see. also, i hate how while we want to think that it is all good to be unique and individual, that is not what other people want to see. they all want to see the same thing.

And it's on the back door of a toilet.
The same things written on the toilet of an inn where I used to live.
Here I sat, all downhearted,
Tried to shit, but only farted.
Also, I'm not sure if it's been mentioned, but: "If You're a Young Sexually Irresponsible Girl with a Drinking Problem, Get the Help You Need. Call - and then my number" was absolutely brilliant.
"to calm this girl down, to get her to listen, I tell her the story about my fish. This is fish number six hundred and forty-one in a lifetime of goldfish. My parents bought me the first one to teach me about loving and caring for another living breathingcreature of God. Six hundred and forty fish later, the only thing I know is everything you love will die. The first time you meet that someone spacial, you can count on them one day being dead and in the ground"

1. My job is most of the time I work for a housecleaning service. [B]Full-time drudge. Part-time god[/B] (It's even written on my T-shirt)) )
2. It’s not that I want to get married. I admire guys who can commit to a tatoo.
3. People used what they called a telephone because they hated being close together and they were too scared of being alone
4. When they didn’t talk their radios filled the gap with the copied voices of people singing the same songs over and over.
5. We’re all going overnight express delivery straight to Hell.
6. A cigarette, a sip, a question, breathing, drinking and asking – she demonstrates all the basic applications for the human mouth.
7. Churches in the outside world were just the local stores that sold people lies made up in the distant factories of giant religions.
8. All the studio apartments in my neighborhood are the same as a warm toilet seat. Somebody was there just a second before you and somebody will be there the minute you get up.
9. Nothing shows you the straight line from here to death like a list.
10. The landscaping is beautiful as long as you don’t look too close.
11. Ghoulie or ghosty or long-legged beastie, I just want my hand held.
12. To the World He Was a Loser But to Me He Was the World.
13. It hurts very much to die, but it hurts a lot more to keep living.
14. May You Die With all your work complete.
15. And if you never have sex, you never gain a sense of power. You never gain a voice or an identity of your own. Sex is the act that separates us from our parents. Children from adults. It’s by having sex that adolescents first rebel.

Finally! Someone else who finds that quote to be amazing. I love all his quotes because they are inspiring or powerful, but this quote has to be my favorite. Not because it means anything, but, like you said, because it is a beautiful piece of writing. It just makes me feel good deep down inside and is a perfect way to end the book.
By the way, you quoted it wrong, it's:
"And the sky is blue and righteous in every direction. The sun is total and burning and just right there. And today is a beautiful day. Testing, testing, one, two-"

"So, uh, after the show, we're going to have a moustache-camaro contest, that's a moustache-camaro contest in the back, so all you young boys with too much energy can show up back there. I'm going to be honest with you, ok? I think, uh, this entire world revolves around honesty and taking risks so I'm just going to go ahead and do that. It were raining someplace and you were there, I wouldn't pay money to come and see you."
