The quote that really got me into the series is "Tears are curious things, for like earthquakes or puppet shows they can occur at any time, without any warning and without any good reason." (TWW, pg. 79) I think I laughed for about 10 minutes straight the first time I read that. I still giggle whenever I see a puppet show.

Great one... One of my favorite is "I feel as if my whole life has been nothing but a dismal play, presented just for someone else's ausement, and that the playwrightwho invented my cruel twist of fate is somwhere far above me, laughing and laughing at his creation."

Man:You may have the trained reptiles and the carrier crows- O:Not anymore! All of the reptiles but one- Woman:"Don't interrupt!" The wicked woman interrupted. "We have the most powerful mammals in the world to do our bidding! Lions and eagles! K:Eagles aren't mammals they're birds! W: They're slaves!
E: There are 8 people if you include yourselves so why do we have to do it? W: You'll do it, because I say so. O:<coughs> That's a good point.
Poe: At Uncle Monty's you three got it into your head that his assistant Stephano was Count Olaf in disguise! K: But Stephano was Count Olaf in disguise Poe: That's not the point...
All of those are good.

Hahaha! I love the last one! I still remember it now, even though I havent read TWW for a while, it shows how terribly inept Mr. Poe is.

It was then that I finally realized how terribly incompetent Mr. Poe was. Here's another quote: During the beginning of the HH "But who can we send a telegram to?" "Poe," said Sunny "I suppose we have no choice. The worst thing he could do would be to say no" "Or cough," Violet said.

Oh, another one! "Rule #--- clearly states that no prisoner is allowed to escape from jail, how dare they disobey this rule!" and another elder:"Oh no!" Mrs. Morrow<Face contorted with shock>"You harmed a crow! That's rule #1!" elder:"That's the most important rule of all!" That one made me laugh so hard for some reason. This one's more of a guilty pleasure: "Mrs. Morrow was leading a chant of 'BURN THE ORPHANS! BURN THE ORPHANS!'" And then of course there's Gunther:"Please sir if- Sunny:"Thousand!"

From LSUA : Quote from the disguised man as a cow trying to find the reptiles: "Eavesdropped on a icnic. Child telling its mother that it saw a fat toad with two wings coming out of its back, as described in chapter 2. Mother telling its child not to be silly. Child telling its mother it wasnt silly. Mother telling its child of course it was. Child telling its mother it was not. Mother saying was so. Child saying was not. Mother saying was so. Child saying was not. Mother saying was so. Grew bored wandered off." There are many great ones from that section to, there are too many to say so I will put one more: "Approached a married couple who apparently owned the Prospero to ask if any reptiles had recently boarded the shipe. Couple, alarmed y a talking cow, refused to participate."
