There hasn't been a Quote thread in a long time, so I figure I'd better start one. Not a guessing game, just to post your favorite quotes, from books, movies, poetry, songs, etc.

"Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be out back together unless and until all living humans read that book. And then there are books like An Imperial Afflication, which you can't tell people about, books so special and rare and yours that advertising your affection feels like a betrayal." -John Green, The Fault in our Stars

Is Charlotte referring to Charlotte, North Carolina, or Charlotte, Virginia?

Charlotte NC. And I've only been to the one in Asheville (only once but it was good). And idk. I know there's some in Charlotte but I don't know exactly where they are. Wait do you live in Charlotte NC?

No, but I do live in Virginia and we have a Mellow Mushroom nearby. The interior is really cool!

This is my absolute favorite quote from The Two Towers movie, spoken by Elrond to Arwen:
"He will come to death, an image of the spendor of the kings of men in glory undimmed before the breaking of the world. But you, my daughter, will linger on in darkness and in doubt, like nightfall in winter that comes without a star. Here you will dwell, bound to your grief under the fading trees until all the world is changed and the last years of your life are utterly spent."
The scene where Elrond says this is so pretty too, with the music and the imagery of the end of Aragorn's reign and Arwen walking among the lonely trees of Lorien. Most of the speech was taken from the Tale of Aragorn and Arwen, and I really like how they used it in the movie.
