1 " Artemis felt like he was six again and caught hacking the school computers trying to make the test questions harder "
― Eoin Colfer , The Time Paradox (Artemis Fowl #6)
2 " I am charging you with the protection of my mother and friends, not to mention keeping my younger self off the Internet. He is as dangerous as Opal. "
3 " how does she know it's the right room?' wondered Descant.Oh, I don't know; mabye it's the magical red glow coming from the doorway, or perhaps it's the deafening howl of the temporal winds.' said Mervall. Descant nodded.'You could be right, brother. And don't think I don't know sarcasm when I hear it. "
4 " They have gone. And the tunnel is about to close. So, boys, I am looking for someone to blame. "
5 " The Theory of Evolution has more holes in it than a dam made out of Swiss cheese. "
6 " They were in a position of total ignorance and people in that position often died without being enlightened. "
7 " Genius inspires resentment. A sad fact of life. "
8 " Humm humm haaa. Rahmumm humm haaaa," intoned Opal, finishing her chant. "Peace be inside me, tolerance all around me, forgiveness in my path. Now, Mervall, show me where the filthy human is so that I may feed him his organs. "
9 " We get an apartment together, and after a whirlwind courtship you marry my sister and honeymoon in Vegas. "
10 " Of course I saved you," she said. "I couldn't do without you." And because she was happy and flushed with magic, Holly leaned down and kissed Artemis, magic sparking around the contact like tiny fireworks. "
11 " Remember the pain?' thought Artemis. I hate myself. I really do. "
12 " The others ignored him, busy doing what men generally do in dangerous times: putting on their trousers. "
13 " Artemis remembered a few lines from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland: “But I don’t want to go among mad people,” said Alice. “Oh, you can’t help that,” said the cat. “We’re all mad here. "
14 " Holly wanted to be sure she understood what was being said. “So you’re saying that Shelly is going to light a fart?” “No, Shelly is going to light the fart. He has stored enough methane to power Haven for a year. There hasn’t been a fart like this since the last dwarf tribal gathering. "
15 " screens. “You’ll be off any second. Remember, try not to touch anything you don’t have to. Don’t talk to anyone. Don’t contact me in the past. I have no desire not to exist.” Artemis nodded. “I know. Make as little impact as possible, in case the time paradox theory has some merit.” Holly was impatient to get going. “Enough science. Just blast us into the past. We’ll bring the monkey back.” “Lemur,” said Artemis and Foaly together. No1 closed his eyes. When he opened them again they were pure crimson. “Okay, ready to go,” he said conversationally. Artemis blinked. He was expecting No1’s voice of power to be a bit less squeaky. “Are you sure?” No1 groaned. “I know. It’s the voice, isn’t it. Not enough gravel. Qwan says I should go for less airy and more fairy. Trust me, I’m ready. Now hold hands.” Artemis "
16 " She cast her eyes toward the heavens. “Help,” she cried. And it began to rain diamonds. "
17 " Now, my little leech, do your nasty work for Aunt Opal, and I will reward you by squeezing your innards into a bucket.” He sighed. “Why are all my best lines wasted on annelids? "
18 " Artemis and Holly stood there in their underwear, gingerly locking fingers. They had crossed space and time together, weathered rebellions, and tangled with demented despots. Coughed blood, lost digits, inhaled dwarf fumes, and swapped eyeballs, yet they found holding hands awkward. No1 knew he shouldn’t, but he couldn’t resist a parting crack. “I now pronounce you . . . "
19 " Artemis was wearing a pair of red Armani boxer shorts, which were pretty much the same color as his face. "
20 " Opal Koboi. Ik wist wel dat er nog een psychotisch element aan dit reisje ontbrak. - Holly "
