"Nonagesimus,” she said slowly, "the only job I’d do for you would be if you wanted someone to hold the sword as you fell on it. The only job I’d do for you would be if you wanted your ass kicked so hard, the Locked Tomb opened and a parade came out to sing, 'Lo! A destructed ass.' The only job I’d do would be if you wanted me to spot you while you backflipped off the top tier into Drearburh." "That’s three jobs," said Harrowhark.
—Gideon the Ninth, Tamsyn Muir

okay so I’m rereading the hobbit and I want to make a list of my favorite quotes and parts so here we go:
“bilbo (…) got something a bit queer in his make-up from the took side” I chuckled
“mr. baggins was very fond of flowers” of course he was he’s a blorbo
“it was a beautiful golden harp, and when thorin struck it the music began all at once, so sudden and sweet that bilbo forgot everything else” bombastic side eye
“as he lay in bed he could hear thorin still humming to himself in the best bedroom next to him. bilbo went to sleep with that in his ears, and it gave him very uncomfortable dreams” criminal offensive side eye
“the explanation did not seem to explain” my brain 24/7 (but also when someone’s trying to explain the rules of any board game to me)
“bilbo was wearing a dark-green hood and a dark-green cloak borrowed from dwalin. they were too large for him, and he looked rather comic” bilbo in dwarven clothes, just throwing it out there
“bilbo baggins, a bur — a hobbit,” said poor bilbo, shaking all over, and wondering how to make owl-noises before their throttled him” this one made me laugh
“trolls simply detest the very sight of dwarves (uncooked)” this one too
“his house was perfect, whether you liked food, or sleep, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just sitting and thinking best, or a pleasant mixture of them all” I want to go to there
“dori, who was at the back next to bilbo, and a decent fellow. he made the hobbit scramble on his shoulders as best as he could with his tied hands, and then off they all went at a run. (…) that sent them on faster than ever, and as poor bilbo could not possibly go half as fast, they took it in turn to carry him on their backs” WE WERE ROBBED
“why, o why did I ever leave my hobbit-hole!” said poor mr. baggins bumping up and down on bombur’s back “why, o why did I ever bring a wretched little hobbit on a treasure hunt!” said poor bombur” comedic duo
gandalf answered angrily “I brought him, and I don’t bring things that are of no use” we love a supportive friend
“(gandalf) gave bilbo a queer look from under his bushy eyebrows” live gandalf reaction
“you ought not to be rude to an eagle, when you are only the size of a hobbit” good life advice
“here they sat on wooden benches while gandalf began his tale, and bilbo swung his dangling legs and looked at the flowers in the garden” a short king <3
“that only makes eleven and not fourteen, unless wizards count differently to other people” I LOVE BOOK BEORN SO MUCH and this whole chapter is probably my favorite by far
“the hobbit felt quite crushed, and as there seemed nothing else to do he did go to bed” what a mood
“long noses are sometimes useful you see” do with that information what you want
“they knew only too well that they would soon all have been dead, if it had not been for the hobbit; and they thanked him many times” AS THEY SHOULD, too bad thorin didn’t see any of what happened
“he did not like being dependent on by everyone, and he wished he had the wizard at hand” honestly, same
“never laugh at live dragon, bilbo you fool” another hopeful advice
“you are more worthy to wear the armour of elf-princes than many that have looked more comely in it. but wonder if thorin oakenshield will see it too” ouch
“then bilbo turned away, and he went by himself, and sat alone wrapped in a blanket, and, whether you believe it or not, he wept until his eyes were red and his voice was hoarse” this one hurts
“he was in fact held by all the hobbits of the neighbourhood to be queer” of course he was :D

Some of my favorite quotes
Volume 5
🌙
The moves were clean and impressive, and Xie Lian praised them in spite of himself: “Nice!” But then he immediately changed his tune. “Not nice!”
🌙
Xie Lian gave a light nod. “There is no such thing as number one in literature; it’s all subjective. A win like that wouldn’t really matter— especially if the content wasn’t even similar.”
🌙
At the sound of that voice, Xie Lian completely relaxed and hugged Hua Cheng tightly. “Thank goodness…the red string didn’t break. I really found you!” he blurted. Hua Cheng embraced him firmly back and said with conviction, “It didn’t break! I found you too.”
🌙
Why care for such things? Those who want to leave will always leave in the end, and those who want to stay will naturally remain.
🌙
"What are you doing?” Xie Lian asked.
Hua Cheng smiled. “I’m too lazy to walk out, so I might as well just blow the whole place up.”
“…”
🌙
"You don’t need to be so hard on yourself,” Hua Cheng comforted. “Without fear, there is no courage.”

It was odd. As a girl, Sophie would have shriveled with embarrassment at the way she was behaving. As an old woman, she did not mind what she did or said. She found that a great relief.

Energy. Life. Death. All of it. We rise and we fall and then we rise once more. We’re all on different paths, but death doesn’t discriminate. It comes for everyone. It’s what you do with it that sets you apart.

I FOUND IT!!!!
My google-fu finally succeeded.
I have been looking for one of my favorite quotes for years and just finding nothing.
I had the person right. I had the context right. I just had the wrong wording. Ugh.
I thought it was: "We will come of age as a species when we learn to appreciate each other BECAUSE of our differences rather than IN SPITE of them."
But it was actually:
"Star Trek was an attempt to say humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in lifeforms."
-Gene Roddenberry.
So I was close. Glad to have finally found it. Hooray!

The Red Scrolls of Magic
Favorite Quotes
Chapter One: Collision in Paris 🇫🇷
Each time he finished a postcard, Alec wrote Wish you were here at the end. And each time, Magnus snatched the card and wrote, with a flourish, Except not really.
“Thinking deep thoughts?” Alec asked. Magnus scoffed. “I try not to.”
“It’s a classic love story. I hit on him at a party, he asked me out, then we fought an epic magical battle between good and evil side by side, and now we need a vacation. The thing is, he’s a Shadowhunter,” he would say. “Sorry, what?” his imaginary travel agent would ask.
“. . . Respectable Shadowhunters are not supposed to bring my sort home to meet Mom and Dad. I have a past. I have several pasts. Besides, good Shadowhunter boys aren’t meant to bring home boyfriends at all.” Only Alec had. He’d stood in the hall of his ancestors and kissed Magnus full on the mouth under the eyes of all the Nephilim assembled there. It had been the most profound and lovely surprise of Magnus’s long life.
“Do you want to wear a beret after all?” Magnus asked. “Say the word. I happen to have several berets concealed on my person. In a variety of colors. I’m a beret cornucopia.” “I’m going to pass on the beret,” said Alec. “Again. But thanks.” The corners of his mouth curved upward, the smile uncertain but real.
Alec finished his last postcard, and Magnus reached for it, then let his hand drop. He read what Alec had written and smiled, charmed and surprised. On the postcard to his sister, Alec had added, Wish you were here. Except not really himself. He shot Magnus a tiny grin.
“Uh,” said Alec. “Can you fly a hot-air balloon?”“Of course!” Magnus declared. “Did I ever tell you about the time I stole a hot-air balloon to rescue the queen of France?” Alec grinned as if Magnus was making a joke. Magnus smiled back. Marie Antoinette had actually been quite a handful. “It’s just,” Alec said thoughtfully, “I’ve never even seen you drive a car.”
“You seem lost in thought,” Magnus remarked. “Are you considering how glamorous and romantic your boyfriend is?” “I’m considering,” said Alec, “how to protect you if we crash the balloon into a chimney.” As he moved past Magnus, Alec stopped and pushed a wayward lock of hair off Magnus’s brow. His touch was light, tender but casual, as if he did not even really realize he was doing it. Magnus had not even realized his own hair was in his eyes. Magnus ducked his head and smiled. Being taken care of was strange to him, but he thought perhaps he could get used to it.
He snapped his fingers, and a bottle chilling in an ice bucket materialized next to the table. “Champagne?” Alec shot out of his chair. “Magnus, you see that plume of smoke down there? Is that a fire?” “So that’s a no to champagne?”
“Now the smoke is jumping across the rooftops. It just made a right turn. Now it’s hiding behind a chimney.” Magnus paused. “I’m sorry?”
“There are two people chasing the smoke . . . thing. I think those are seraph blades. They’re Shadowhunters.” “Hooray, Shadowhunters,” said Magnus. “Present company excepted from my sarcastic hooray, of course.”
Alec’s hands were a blur, raining arrow after arrow at the swarm below. Any time a pair of glowing eyes moved toward the Shadowhunters, a streaking arrow would meet it before it could reach them. It was a pity Magnus had to devote his attention to controlling the elements rather than admiring his boyfriend.
At this point, the fair-haired Shadowhunter woman and her male companion had nothing left to do. They were standing in a whirl of smoky ash and destruction and appeared somewhat at a loss. “You’re welcome!” Magnus called down to them, waving. “No charge!”
Magnus Bane did his best, in life, to always be spectacular. This crash was.
