Re: Quick Quotes - Round Three
An unlikely quote for someone to use as an e-mail signature
"Silk chuckled. "You're a very observant lad," he said. Then his tone became more serious. "We're living in momentous times, Garion. The events of a thousand years and more have all focused on these very days. The world, I'm told, is like that. Centuries pass when nothing happens, and then in a few short years events of such tremendous importance take place that the world is never the same again."
"I think that if I had my choice, I'd prefer one of those quiet centuries," Garion said glumly.
"Oh, no," Silk said, his lips drawing back in a ferretlike grin. "Now's the time to be alive---to see it all happen, to be a part of it. That makes the blood race, and each breath is an adventure."
~~ Pawn of Prophecy by David Eddings

From “The Perks of Being a Wallflower” by Stephen Chbosky:
I’m so sorry that I wasted your time because you really do mean a lot to me and I hope you have a very nice life because I really think you deserve it. I really do. I hope you do, too. Okay, then. Goodbye.
