I think The Westing Game. Correct?

There are some great quotes in Wings of Fire!
“After all, how can a mere dragon expect to tell a man like yourself what to do? In fact, everyone should stand in awe of your brilliance of finding the only dead end.
– Saphira (from Eragon)“Mmm….she's doomed! You're doomed!! They're all doomed! Notice I didn't specify what kind of doom, so no matter what happens, I predicted it. How very WISE of me.”

Dire, but kinda amusing.

Hi, I just noticed that all the titles in Shining Star's post were links. I only clicked on one, and that one was a link to Goodreads. I don't know about the others. I wanted to let you know as I wasn't sure if Goodreads was an allowed website.
Thanks very much. We do not allowed links to outside websites, including Goodreads. I've removed the links. –admin

*gaaaasp* I love the Map to Everywhere books! They're probably my favorite ever. (Well, I've only read the first too, but those were great.) Fin is my favorite character ever, and I love Marill's cat Karnelius. It has a lot of great quotes as well. I wish the villain Serth hadn't been called "insane" though, that's really ableist (bigoted against disabled people). Other than that I found him a quite effective villain especially with the well-developed characters, because he made them face themselves, kind of. I didn't know anyone else here had read it! I'll stop before this gets too long 😛

The first quote!!!! Is Nico Di Angelo!!! 😀

My favorite quote!
"No matter how smoothy you get up and act like nothing happened, it doesn't change the fact that you fell down the stairs"
-Takane and Hana volume 11.
My other quotes!
"Don't you feel bad losing to a coffeemaker?"
-Takane and Hana volume 14 Takane on page 69.
"What's she like? Your mom, I mean?" "I forget."
-Takane and Hana volume 14
"I know, I know. I heard that 30 times yesterday." "I'll tell you 300 times today to make it sink in."
-Takane and Hana volume 14.

Wow, this is a late reply (sorry!) but the quote I posted earlier is from The Westing Game.

"The best part is that it's completely legal-ish!"

The Harry Potter books have lots of funny lines, but I can't think of any right now. Here's a good one I read last night:
"Why would anyone want to watch the world go up in flames?"
-Keeper of the Lost Cites, book 1

To paint it. OK I'm kidding! I got the idea from The Far Side. They used to run in newspapers, but now we have the collections. Here are some of my favorite quotes! (I will explain some)
-Once again, (insert name, I forgot) suspected he had been slipped the trick spoon. (It's just a spoon that doesn't have the scoop facing up!)
-"Well, it's cold again." (Two people live in an igloo, in antartica or the arctic. What do you expect?)
-CAn't think of the others!

"Once again, Darrell suspected he had been slipped a trick spoon with the concave side reversed."
