Collecting QUOTES for a project!

[Highlander_II]

Hidy!

Okay, back in 2004, for SheVa Con and in celebration of the release of Book 6, Blood Rites, I made a wicked cool wizard hat for Jim:

I painted quotes from the 6 books, plus the names of the major characters from the books, onto the exterior of the hat.  It took me about two weeks to paint it all.  (Would've been longer if I had that much patience, but after about a week, I got to the point where I just wanted it DONE.)

So, I told Jim that if he made it to book 12, there'd be a matching cape to go with it.

On that note (along w/ note to self: buy cape) - I need to start collecting quotes from the books again.  And I'm asking you, the general populace of the Jim Butcher message board, to help me out, since we have 9 (almost 10) fabulous books, and it'll be 12 before I'm done.  (And I need to get started early to get a jump-start on my procrastination!)

Anyone interested?

Great!



There are a few 'rules' for submitting quotes here for me:

1.  Quotes must be word-for-word exact from the book.  I pull them all into a word doc then print them off so I can copy from that, since I can't move my PC to the work surface.
2.  Source book must be mentioned (helps me locate it if you don't have #3).
3.  Chapter and/or page number is extremely helpful!
4.  Any quotes from the most recent book (as of April 2008, that's Small Favor) MUST use the spoiler tag! [added 04/08/08, but is also in a post further in]




I will be keeping track of this thread so I can periodically grab quotes and such.

And - thank you all, so much, in advance for all of your contributions!

(For the record, yes, I am insane for taking on this project, but I really don't mind!  It's a lovely excuse to use for why you're reading the books for the 8-zillionth time, right? *g*)

Adding to this:

When Small Favor releases, any quotes from that one need to be under a spoiler tag.

Especially seeing as how this thread is not in the Spoilers section!  Thanks for reminding everyone.

It was one of those things - I have 2 years to collect all the quotes (and believe me, I'll need a truckload of quotes) - and I just went 'duh! new book - spoilers - tag please!'

I really am with it most of the time.  *g*

The Venatori were an ancient, secret bortherhood, joined together to fight supernatural darkness wherever they could. Sort of like the Masons, only with more flamethowers.

I gestured with the can. "So i use blue, because I don't have to do too much introspection, and i don't introduce new doubts in a crisis situation. And because it was cheap at Wal-Mart."
