The Voyage of the Dawn Treader Quotes

>> Thursday, December 23, 2010

There was a boy called Eustace Clarence Scrubb, and he almost deserved it.


"The third day out a pirate (Terebinthian by her rig) overhauled us, but when she saw us well armed she stood off after some shooting of arrows on either part-" "And we ought to have given her chase and boarded her and hanged every mother's son of them," said Reepicheep.

"Anything to get off this blasted boat," said Eustace. "Blasted?" said Drinian. "How do you mean?" "In a civilized country like where I come from," said Eustace, "the ships are so big that when you're inside you wouldn't know you were at sea at all." "In that case you might just as well stay ashore," said Caspian.

"So that's what you are," said Caspian. "A kidnapper and slaver. I hope you're proud of it." "Now, now, now, now," said the slaver. "Don't you start any jaw. The easier you take it, the pleasanter all around, see?"

"The question before us really is-" "The question is," said the Duke, "whether you and the rest of the rabble will leave without a flogging or with one."

He never said the word Dragon to himself. Nor would it have made things any better if he had.

Others would have joined him if at that moment Reepicheep had not called out, "Don't fight! Push!" It was so unusual for the Mouse to advise anyone not to fight that, even in that terrible moment, every eye turned to him.

"I wonder," said Reepicheep, "do they become visible when you drive a sword into them?" "It looks as if we shall find out," said Caspian.

"I do not see these fifty warriors," observed Reepicheep. "That's right, that's right," said the Chief Voice. "You don't see us. And why not? Because we're invisible."

Indeed most of their remarks were the sort it would not be easy to disagree with: "What I always say is, when a chap's hungry, he likes some victuals," or "Getting dark now; always does at night," or even "Ah, you've come over the water. Powerful wet stuff, ain't it?"

"Please, Aslan," said Lucy, "what do you call soon?" "I call all times soon," said Aslan; and instantly he was vanished away and Lucy was alone with the Magician.

Behind them was the sea and the sun, before them was the Darkness.

"How are we to know you're a friend?" "You can't know," said the girl. "You can only believe-or not."

"Come, I am going to open the door in the sky."

The Limit

The Limit
by Kristen Landon

"The Limit" is one of those books that make your heart beat fast, chills run down your spine, and adrenaline pound through your veins.
Or at least it was for me.
I couldn't put it down.
In a certain sense, it wasn't a scary read. There were no monsters, death-defying chases or gruesome moments. But it was chilling because their world is so close to our own, and because of the book's message.

In a slightly futuristic America, all families have a debt limit. And if they go over their spending limit, their oldest child gets sent to a workhouse.
But Matt isn't too worried. His parents are responsible spenders.
Right?
Wrong.

And that's how he ends up being torn away from his family and put into a workhouse. It seems like a nice place. Sure, the lady in charge is so sugary-sweet it's creepy. And sure lots of weird things are happening. But it's not so bad. They live in pent-house-like rooms and have everything they could possibly want. Except their freedom.
There's far more beneath the surface.
And Matt's determined to find out what.

Just reading about Matt's family spending money on every little thing made me want to scream at them.
And I actually started cheering out loud for Matt and his friends. I kept forgetting that I was reading "The Limit" instead of living it. This has to be the first book to make a good point since the 18th century.
It may not have been as frightening or mind-blowing as others.
But I actually prefer that way.

How many people should read this book? There shouldn't be a limit.

Edit: I forgot to mention--the ending's lame. And the characters unimaginative.

Let Me Rant

>> Tuesday, December 14, 2010

I love the movie Glory Road, but more than that I love the musical score in the movie.
It's breath-taking, emotional, and full of soul...

And I can't find it anywhere!

(I'm gritting my teeth as I write this.)
It annoys me to absolutely no end! I found the soundtrack, but all it has is the non-instrumental songs on it. I heard that Disney had the score on it, but switched it a few days after the soundtrack's release.
Why? WHY?!?! WHAT WERE THEY THINKING?!?!

ahem.

I'm done ranting now.

Pictures by K. Beaton

When Edgar Allan Poe was two years old, his mother abandoned him and his three sisters.

Edgar was adopted and, a few years later, his adoptive-mother contracted tuberculosis and died.

Distraght, Edgar spent most of his time with his high-school friend's mom because he liked being around her.
She also got tuberculosis and died.

As an adult he married his adopted cousin, Virginia.
After some short years together, she (wouldn't you know it) died from tuberculosis.

...I am so very glad that I didn't know him.

Prince Caspian Quotes

>> Saturday, December 4, 2010

If you had been there you would have heard them saying things like, "Oh look! Our coronation rings - do you remember first wearing this? - Why, this is the little brooch we all thought was lost - I say, isn't that the armour you wore in the great tournament in the Lone Islands? - do you remember the dwarf making that for me? - do you remember drinking out of that horn? - do you remember, do you remember?"

And if Caspian had been a very little older, the tone of his uncle's voice would have warned him that it would be wiser to shut up.
 
He may not have cared much about you, but he would rather you should have the throne than a stranger. Now that he has a son of his own he will want his own son to be the next King. You are in the way. He'll clear you out of the way." "Is he really as bad as that?" said Caspian. "Would he really murder me?"
"He murdered your Father," said Doctor Cornelius.

"I hate 'em. I hate 'em worse than the Humans. You mark my words-no good will come of it."
 
"Do you believe in Aslan?" said Caspian to Nikabrik. "I'll believe in anyone or anything," said Nikabrik, "that'll batter these cursed Telmarine barbarians to pieces or drive them out of Narnia."
 
"I might as well die on a wild goose chases as die here. You are my King. I know the difference between giving advice and taking orders. You've had my advice, and now it's the time for orders."

"I don't know why you shouldn't believe it," said Lucy, "if you believe in magic at all."

"That's the worst of girls," said Edmund to Peter and the Dwarf. "They can never carry a map in their heads." "That's because our heads have something inside them," said Lucy.

"Please, Aslan! Am I not to know?" "To know what would have happened, child?" said Aslan. "No. Nobody is ever told that."

"I can fast a hundred years and not die. I can lie a hundred nights on the ice and not freeze. I can drink a river of blood and not burst. Show me your enemies."

"Have you pen and ink, Master Doctor?" "A scholar is never without them, your Majesty," answered Doctor Cornelius.

"Does your Lordship believe those old wives' fables about Peter and Edmund and the rest?" "I believe my eyes, your Majesty," said Glozelle.

"I thought I heard someone laughing just now. If anyone present wishes to make me the subject of his wit, I am very much at his service-with my sword-whenever he has leisure."

"I was wishing that I came of a more honourable lineage." "You came of the Lord Adam and the Lady Eve," said Aslan. "And that is both honour enough to erect the head of the poorest beggar, and shame enough to bow the shoulders of the greatest emperor on earth. Be content."

You're an otter, mate! Another good friend of Redwall, you are a natural swimmer and a deadly fighter especially with a long bow or javellin. Camp Willow is your home, just as Redwall is your second home. You have a good heart and a strong sense of loyalty. You absolutely love Shrimp and Hotroot soup, living by the motto "Ain't nothing 'otter for an Otter!".
