1 " No matter what dimension you're in, there's a big-headed male trying to take over the world. "
― Eoin Colfer , The Lost Colony (Artemis Fowl, #5)
2 " Excuse me, Captain. Are you two going to weep salty tears of admiration over a helmet all night, or do we have matters to discuss? "
3 " What's that supposed to mean? A wolf's head on a stick. Big wolf barbecue tonight? Bring your own wolf? "
4 " If it looks like a Dwarf, and it smells like a Dwarf, then it's probably a Dwarf or a latrine wearing dungerees. "
5 " Everyone says that I have no sense of humor, then I construct a perfectly sound pun around a well-known psychological condition, and it is ignored. "
6 " A cloak of invisibility? This is a highly sensitive piece of field equipment. What does he think? Some warlock pulled it out of his armpit? "
7 " Why can't we for once have a meeting in Starbucks? "
8 " Caballine likes me to be masterful. She calls me her stallion. "
9 " Just what we need," moaned Holly. "Artemis Fowl with magical powers. "
10 " Control puberty?" snorted the bodyguard."If you manage that, you'll be the first. "
11 " I am older and have more control over my empathy,' said Qwan. 'That's why I didn't throw up.' And having said that, he threw up. "
12 " Chief of security : They have a tank! How did they get a tank up here? "
13 " It can play solitaire and minesweeper,” replied Artemis innocently. "
14 " Make it fast, you shower of stinking rabbit droppings, I've got a fresh blade that I'm just itching to test! "
15 " When Holly Short had opened the door of her makeshift basement cell, she had found her helmet bouncing on the spot in front of her with a 3-D image of Foaly’s face projected onto it. “That is really creepy, "
16 " Artemis put his decaf cappuccino down gently, so as not to rattle the saucer. “We’re at the Nice Library trying to dig up anything on this Minerva person. Perhaps we can find out if she has a villa near here.” “Glad to hear it,” said Holly. “I had visions of you two drinking tea at the beach while I sweat it out here.” Twenty yards from where Artemis was sitting, waves swirled along the beach like emerald paint poured from a bucket. “Tea? At the beach? No time for luxuries, Holly. "
17 " But calling up magic when there were arrows flying and chunks of the countryside disappearing was about as easy as going to the toilet on command with a dozen people watching. Who all hated you. "
18 " She supposed this irritating bickering was how the males of every species showed affection. "
19 " The female guard smiled broadly then collapsed. On the ground she began singing a nursery rhyme about doggies and their bones. "
20 " Just what we need,” moaned Holly. “Artemis Fowl with magical powers. "
