1 " If you were me, then I'd be you, and if I were you, then I'd hide somewhere far away. "
― Eoin Colfer , The Eternity Code (Artemis Fowl, #3)
2 " Sometimes Spiro missed the times when a troublesome worker was thrown out of a high window and that was the end of him. These days, if you threw someone out of a window, they'd phone their lawyer on the way down. "
3 " A CD. How quaint. We have these in museums. "
4 " The sarcasm made a slight whistling noise as it flew over Loafers' head. "
5 " Careful, Mr. Spiro, guns are dangerous. Especially the end with the hole. "
6 " No, mademoiselle, I would not like to see the children's menu. I have no doubt that the children's menu itself tastes better than the meals on it. I would like to order à la carte. Or don't you serve fish to minors? "
7 " Certain battles were won by retreating. "
8 " I never tell anyone exactly how clever I am. They would be too scared. "
9 " Listen to me, goblin. You're stupid, let's accept that and move on. "
10 " And one more thing. About my name — Artemis — you were right. In London, it is generally a female name, after the Greek goddess of archery. But every now and then a male comes along with such a talent for hunting that he earns the right to use the name. I am that male. Artemis the hunter. I hunted you. "
11 " (about his terrible attempt at making a sandwich) It's more difficult than it looks. (Artemis Fowl) "
12 " Jon Spiro had not hired Pex and Chips for their debating sills. In the job interview, they had only been set one task. A hundred applicants were handed a walnut and asked to smash it however they could. Only two succeeded. Pex had shouted at the walnut for a few minutes, then flattened it between his giant palms. Chips had opted for a more controversial method. He placed the walnut on the table, grabbed is interviewer by the ponytail, and used the man's forehead to smash the nut. Both men were hired on the spot. They quickly established themselves as Arno Blunt's most reliable leiutenants for in-house work. They were not allowed outside Chicago, as this could involve map reading, something Pex and Chips were not very good at. "
13 " When the moment comes, will you take your chance to be a hero? "
14 " The only other scenario that could explain everything, up to and including your own bizarre apperance, is a convoluted conspiracy theory involving the Russian Mafia and a crack team of plastic surgeons. "
15 " You guys looking for my dad? People are always, like, looking for him, and he's never around. Daddy is so not here. And I mean that literally and spiritually. "
16 " The miracle of modern science. The LEP pours millions into your department, Foaly, and all you can do is send Mud Boys to the toilet. "
17 " Together we will be unstoppable. "
18 " Jon Spiro might have “stuff ” that the military didn’t have, but Artemis Fowl had “stuff ” that humans had never seen. "
19 " There's nothing more dangerous than a short guy with something to prove. "
20 " Artemis took a chance on some calculated sarcasm. “Really, Spiro. Did you think I would attempt a break-in? Perhaps you thought I would fly in here with my fairy friends and magic your box away?” Spiro laughed. “You can bring all the fairy friends you like, Arty-boy. Short of a miracle that Cube is staying right where it is. "
