"Self-proclaimed? Obviously that means that no one else recognises my awesomness, little moth." <---- something I suspect one of my OCs would say.
"I will not let another person die, even if it costs me my own life." <----- something I myself have said.
"The snow is falling..." <---- IDFK ^_^

"I will forgive when I forget."

Or

"I will forgive you when I forget what you have done."
Hatred: the absence of love.
Please, treat me with kindness.

Self-important country boy talking to his "fangirls":

SICB: "Yeah. Well, life's a bitch. You know what else is a bitch?
Everyone else: (annoyed) "YOUR DOG!"
SICB: "Haha. Never gets old."

"We have two choices: wade waist deep in horse manure to search for that missing jewel or head back empty-handed and face Mariyah's wrath. Personally, I'd rather take my chances with the poop."

My friend and I wrote strange stories.

Not really checking the forums any more due to time constraints, so if you want to contact me, PM. I'll get a notification and log in. :mrgreen:
Also, I've been hit and run posting, which means I don't see many replies. If you want to respond to something I've said, also feel free to PM me.

NOTE: if you've got questions about vnovel or things like that, it's Leon that you should be contacting. Leon's been pretty much handling everything, but due to various reasons, I've had to withdraw entirely.

"There are no stupid questions, but there are a ton of inquisitive idiots."

Most of my unused lines have always been much too sarcastic for the particular work I was doing. So I tuck them away in the novels I write.

"You can use both idiots and scissors, but you can't let an idiot use scissors."

My two favorites my co-writer and I did:

"All that canned meat? I thought that was your makeup kit."

and

"And here I thought the fairy tale was titled Sleeping {i}Beauty{/i}, not Sleeping Ogre."
The best reason to get up in the morning is to outdo yourself: to do it better than you've ever done it before. But if you haven't done it better by nightfall... look at your globe and pick a spot: it's always morning somewhere.
