We all write. We all write characters. Most of those characters probably say things. Sometimes they might say something (either through speech or first person narration) that makes you lean back in your chair and go "Damn, that's a pretty sweet quote, even if I do say so myself".
So what interesting, clever, or cool lines do your characters have?
Some of mine...
"One particular watch amongst hundreds. I suppose it’s not a terrible place to keep something hidden. Like hiding a needle in a sewing drawer." - Alek Stove (narration)
"It's not what it looks like." - Alek Stove
"I don't even know what this is meant to look like!" - Ilsa Essen, discovering Alek standing over a dead man in a pool of black liquid in a ransacked watchmaker's shop
"Someone should have killed you long ago, witch hunter. But no, some people have to play with their food, until they forget they're not the only one with a mouth." - Zebedy, taunting Alek
"Oh I’m real, and there is so much I can threaten you with. I’ve driven people mad in their sleep, made them scream every time I whisper in their ear, made them take their own lives out of simple terror. People live in their heads, and that’s where I kill them." - Mavetta, threatening Alek
"There's a reason they call me the witch hunter. I've killed twenty occultists." - Alek Stove
"You killed magicians, people scratching the surface of the Occult. I'll show you the depths." - Sigfarne Izemti, before attacking Alek
"I thought I had a winning smile, but he had enough charm in his to make even burnt steak go red." - Alek Stove (narration), upon meeting Lord Dandelion
"Is that all I'm known for? My parties? Good. No one trims the prettiest rose, no matter how sharp its thorns." - Lord Dandelion
And my personal favourite...
"Peep peep... peep peep." - Alek Stove, trying to call his cat
