Special Sub-Topic: Popular Literature Quotes


"'We're filing a petition,' Roy corrected him. 'I don't know when the hearing will take place. But we'll ask for a quick one.'"

    John Grisham's 'The Client'. This novel was made into a movie starring Susan Sarandon as Reggie Love, and a very young Brad Renfro as Mark Sway, the child who learned too much about the resting place of a certain senator's body. Tommy Lee Jones played Roy Foltrigg, the speaker of this quote.

"He had a big glass of milk propped in front of him. I couldn't help remembering back to when we were kids."
    James Patterson's 'Four Blind Mice'. 'Four Blind Mice' is one of several novels featuring Detective Alex Cross and his sidekick Sampson. The two men were friends since childhood, as described by the preceding quote.

"Gently but persistently selling her on this alliance, Mark said, 'Doctor, we both have set ourselves against those forces of ignorance and fear and self-interest that want to keep the world in darkness.'"
    Dean Koontz's Sole Survivor. I'm a huge fan of Dean Koontz and his works of literature. I've read most of his books in no more than two sittings!

"Unfortunately for the people of California, circumstances conspired to get Bobby off lightly."
    Dean Koontz's 'Whispers'. An ominous quote from a novel that should come with buttered popcorn.

"I'm not ready to see Ethan. Not yet. And I'm a coward."
    Karen Brichoux's 'Coffee and Kung Fu'. This novel is absolutely hilarious! A great story about real people and real problems that captures the hilarity of life.

"I thought of the few occasions in my life up to now when I had tried- I admit- to bring on a fever to avoid school or church."
    Barbara Kingsolver's 'The Poisonwood Bible'. This quote from the amazing novel by Barbara Kingsolver is spoken by Rachel, the eldest daughter of Rev. Price. Rachel's idea of survival is different from the rest of her sister's, but to say any more would spoil this novel that you must read!

"They were unable to determine the reason for his interest in the parrot, the butterflies, Mickey Mouse and many other things, but that was only because they could not hit upon the pertinent yes-or-no questions that would have led to explanations."

"But why? Why did you go to such great lengths to improve my life?"
    Dean Koontz's 'Lightning'. I read this novel in one sitting, I was up all night. It starts in slow, but maintains a certain suspense that keeps the reader engaged.

"Jillian, Dylan, Shephard, I've been expecting you. Please come in. My house is your house."
    Dean Koontz's 'By the Light of the Moon'. This quote is spoken near the end of the novel, during the surprise ending.

"Behind Dieter's car was a black Citroen Traction Avant containing four Gestapo men in plain clothes."
    Ken Follett's 'Jackdaws'. The ultimate girl power novel about a group of misfit women who parachute into Nazi controlled France in order to make the situation ready for D-Day!
