what are you favorite quotes from the books? for me, bartimaeus says so many clever things it's hard to remember them all. love this one quote form the end of book 3:

certain people(politicians and authors come to mind)believe that heroic deaths are a great thing. .... (ti's in someone's siggy, i can't remember the whole thing)

"To [heck] with politics."

"Oh, god." someone whispered, "it's a musical."

" According to some, 2 Generally those who don't have to do it. Politicians and writers spring to mind. heroic deaths are admirable things. I've never been convinced by this argument, mainly because, however manly, or defi- ant you are, at the end of the day you're also dead. Which is a little too permanent for my liking."

Meh, only Barti qoutes?

My sig's, for one, also:

(Faquarl) "Look at me now- what do you see?"

(Barti) "A murderous maniac in human form? A hideous amalgam of the worst of man and djinn? Erm- I'm going out on a limb here- a former foe looking at me with unexpected pity and good fellowship?

"Wow! Kitty, you're so beautiful!"
"Only now?"

"It included a legion of afrits and a motley group of higher djinn, of which surely the most notable was... no, modesty prevents me continuing."

i was lmao! :D :lol:

I don't know if you would classify this as a quote, but this was probably my favorite couple lines in the books:

"...I wanted to wake you straightaway, but I knew I had to wait several hours to ensure you were safely recovered"
"What! How long has it been?"
"Five minutes, I got bored"

This is one of Bart's mental footnotes toward the end-
"Well, you try giving yourself a rude hand gesture. See, it just doesn't work does it?"


Another-
Bart(footnote)- "I first encountered Naeryan in Africa during the Scipio campaigns. Her favorite manifestation was as a lissom belly dancer, who would lure-"
Nat: "Will you stop doing that? I'm trying to concentrate."

I used that as an analogy when I was asked if I were dating my guy best friend.

Lol...

Funnily enough, the person who asked me thought I'd made it up myself.

I corrected them, of course. So they read Bartimaeus.

One of my favorite in the series!

Bartimaeus is so witty, I wonder how long it takes to write his quotes.

Yes! Another converted to reading the Trilogy! I got my dad to read it...

Mine as well.

He founded the humour quite funny, but wondered why I liked it.

My dad loved them, but I don't think he expected Nathaniel to die.

Mine did.

Because he heard about it for hours.

Oh. Well, at least it was subtle. :mwamba:
But yes, it's hard not to tell the endings.
