🔫 FREEZE this is a STICKUP

gimme 5 great lines that you wrote (whether you’ve posted them or not) and 5 great lines someone else wrote (whether published or fanfic) and nobody gets hurt!!

🙌 All right. All right!

Me physically scrounging through the books on my shelf lol. I'll start with other author's lines.

“If I had a razor, I’d cut your throat—just to see what ran out of it.” “Caterpillar blood,” I said.

The Big Sleep - Raymond Chandler

Nothing would have possessed her to admit that she had gone through all those packets and jars looking for pieces of girl.

Howl’s Moving Castle - Diana Wynne Jones

“Forty-two,” said Deep Thought, with infinite majesty and calm.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy - Douglas Adams

People loved the salmon the way fire loves grass and the blaze loves the darkness of the sea.

Braiding Sweetgrass - Robin Wall Kimmerer

Happiness is not a possession to be prized, it is a quality of thought, a state of mind.

Rebecca - Daphne du Maurier

And stuff I've written:

The throat of the hallway stretched beyond into unfathomable darkness.

Tongues

Thank you for calling the DataTerm customer service line!

Hex (say DataTerm three times)

It was a tender love that grew and blossomed the longer it stayed; the longest of kisses, a warm drink on a cold day.

The Garden (Not sure that's a grammatically correct sentence but I ain't fixing it now lol)

The two of them watched as the rain poured down, sheets cascading off the awning overhead while slips of neon reflected off the puddles that had gathered in the asphalt.

Shimmer & Shine

“Call me V.”

(not terribly original, I know, but if I had to distill the whole story into one line) Or perhaps have some intrigue from towards the end...

Panoptic blue vanished for a millisecond before flickering back to life in the dark.

So It Goes

#ask away!#irrigone #me trying to remember what books i've read lately #(i haven't lol)#just a fun fact that DataTerm line was the most low-key Beetlejuice reference. tried to contact DataTerm three times
