Ben QUOTES

1 " Number of empty Ben & Jerry's containers: 3 -- two mint chocolate cookie, one plain vanilla. (Who buys plain vanilla ice cream from Ben & Jerry's, anyway? Is there a greater waste?) "

― Ally Carter

2 " Myrnin turned away to pick up his Ben Franklin spectacles, balanced them on his nose, and looked over them to say, " Don't do drugs. I feel I ought to say that. "

3 " This was very exciting. I'd never had two boys get into a fight over me before. The fact that one of the boys was my stepbrother, however, and held about as much romantic appeal for me as Max, the family dog, somewhat dampened my enthusiasm. And Michael wasn't much of a catch, either, when you actually thought about it, being a potential murderer and all. Oh, why did I have to have such a couple of losers fighting over me? Why couldn't Matt Damon and Ben Affleck fight over me? Now that would be truly excellent. "

― , Reunion (The Mediator, #3)

4 " Ben, if you get pee in my brand-new car, I am going to cut your balls off." Still peeing, Ben looks over at me smirking. " You´re gonna need a hell of a big knife, bro. "

5 " You Who'd be Wise" from " Ben Mishle" written sometime between 1013 and 1050 C.E.You who'd be wiseshould inquire into the nature of justice and evilfrom your teachers,seekers like yourself, and the studentswho question your answer. "

6 " Lori sat way back in her chair and gave him the once-over. " What in the world's gotten into Ben Lawson? jokes? Flirting? Maybe I should sleep with Molly. I think she's got a magic hooha. "

7 " I miss you more than Michael Bay missed the mark
When he made Pearl Harbor.
I miss you more than that movie missed the point
And that's an awful lot, girl.
And now, now you've gone away
And all I'm trying to say, is:
Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you.

I need you like Ben Affleck needs acting school
He was terrible in that film.
I need you like Cuba Gooding needed a bigger part
He's way better than Ben Affleck.
And now, all I can think about is your smile
and that shitty movie, too.
Pearl Harbor sucked and I miss you.
Why does Michael Bay get to keep on making movies?
I guess Pearl Harbor sucked
just a little bit more than I miss you. "

― Trey Parker

8 " Letting her head hang, all she could do was think what a freaking mess she had gotten herself into.

And not even Ben & Jerry's could get her out of this. "

― Toni Aleo , Overtime (Assassins, #10)

9 " And, for one– ten thousandth of a second, all of it fell away, the despair and grief and anger and pain and hunger, and the old Ben Parish rose from the dead. The eyes that impaled. The smile that slayed. In another moment, he would fade, slide back into the new Ben, the one called Zombie, and I understood something I hadn’t before: He was dead, the object of my schoolgirl desires, just as the schoolgirl who desired him was dead. "

― Rick Yancey , The Infinite Sea (The 5th Wave, #2)

10 " Sevgilim! (…) Cıgara içmekten vazgeçilebilir mi? Hikâye yazmaktan da, körolası, vazgeçemiyoruz. İşte bir müddettir ben de, elimde cıgara, adam arıyor gibiyim. Ne kadar üstü başı düzgünler, suratı ciddiler, hali azametliler içinde kalmışım ki bir türlü hikâyeme yanaşamıyorum. "

― Sait Faik Abasıyanık , Mahalle Kahvesi

11 " Since Sienna was in an unusually cooperative mood, the session went well. He was returning from it midmorning - after a short detour - when a small naked body barreled into him in one of the main corridors. Steadying the boy with Tk, he looked down. The child lifted a finger to his lips. " Shh. I'm hiding." With that, he went behind Judd and scrambled into a small alcove. " Quickly!Not sure why he obeyed the order, Judd backed up to stand in front of the alcove, arms crossed. A flustered Lara came running around the corner a few seconds later. " Have you seen Ben? Four-year-old. Naked as a jaybird?" " How tall is he?" Judd asked in his most overbearing Psy manner.Lara stared. " He's four. How tall do you think he is? Have you seen him or not?" " Let me think...did you say he was naked?" " He was about to be bathed. Slippery little monkey." A giggle from behind Judd.Lara's eyes widened and then her lips twitched. " So you haven't seen him?" " Without a proper description, I can't be sure." The healer was obviously trying not to laugh. " You shouldn't encourage him - he's incorrigible as it is." Judd felt childish hands on his left calf and then Ben poked his head out. " I'm incorwigeable, did ya hear?" Judd nodded. " I do believe you've been found. Why don't you go have your bath?" " Come on, munchkin." Lara held out a hand.Surprisingly strong baby arms and legs wrapped around Judd's leg. " No. I wanna stay with Uncle Judd." Lara anticipated his question. " Ben spends a lot of time with Marlee." " I spend a lot of time with Marlee," a small voice piped up. "

12 " Well," Ben went on," someone should just tell her to come on home, because she can find the world's largest balls right here in Orlando, Florida. They're located in a special display case known as 'my scrotum.'" Radar laughed, and Ben continued. " I mean seriously. My balls are so big that when you order french fries from McDonald's, you can choose one of four sizes: small, medium,large, and my balls. "

13 " So what's the plan?” Ben asked.“Go inside. Look around. Improvise.”“Brilliant." Hi stroked his chin. “Quick question: Is having no plan the same as having a terrible plan, or are those different categories? "

14 " Funyuns make you fart," Caspian said, and I exploded in laughter." What's so funny?" Ben asked.I tried to stop laughing, but Caspian was leaning forward now, his face stck right in between us. " Funyuns give you bad breath, too. Not very attractive to the ladies." He paused. " ON second thought... enjoy your Funyuns, Ben!" I had to bite the side of my cheek to keep from giggling. The fact that Ben had no clue what was going on made it even harder to stop. "

15 " Robert said, " This is great, huh? Sorry to butt in and everything, but I really need the extra points. For my grade." Ben nodded and tried to smile. Right, for his grade. He probably wanted to get an A++ in social studies instead of just an A+ "

16 " Rough as life can be, I know in my bones we are supposed to stick around and play our part. Even if that part is coughing to death from cigarettes, or being blown up young in a house with your mother watching. And even if it's to be that mother. Someone down the line might need to know you got through it. Or maybe someone you won't see coming will need you. Like a kid who asks you to help him clean motel rooms. Or some ghost who drifts your way, hungry. And good people might even ask you to marry them. And it might be you never know the part you played, what it meant to someone to watch you make your way each day. Maybe someone or something is watching us all make our way. I don't think we get to know why. It is, as Ben would say about most of what I used to worry about, none of my business. "

17 " When I was a boy of seven or eight I read a novel untitled " Abafi" — The Son of Aba — a Servian translation from the Hungarian of Josika, a writer of renown. The lessons it teaches are much like those of " Ben Hur," and in this respect it might be viewed as anticipatory of the work of Wallace. The possibilities of will-power and self-control appealed tremendously to my vivid imagination, and I began to discipline myself. Had I a sweet cake or a juicy apple which I was dying to eat I would give it to another boy and go through the tortures of Tantalus, pained but satisfied. Had I some difficult task before me which was exhausting I would attack it again and again until it was done. So I practiced day by day from morning till night. At first it called for a vigorous mental effort directed against disposition and desire, but as years went by the conflict lessened and finally my will and wish became identical. "

18 " An Eastern poet, Ali Ben Abu Taleb, writes with sad truth, —" He who has a thousand friends has not a friend to spare,And he who has one enemy shall meet him everywhere. "

19 " He wished he was with his mom in her library, where everything was safe and numbered and organized by the Dewey decimal system. Ben wished the world was organized by the Dewey decimal system. That way you'd be able to find whatever you were looking for, like the meaning of your dream, or your dad. "

― Brian Selznick , Wonderstruck

20 " It's a long story. Want a refill?" " No, let's start the steak. Where's the button?" " Right here." " Well, push it." " Me? You offered to cook." " Ben Caxton, I will lie here and starve before I will get up to push a button six inches from your finger" " As you wish." He pressed the button. " But don't forget who cooked dinner. "
