| 7bc901b | Opal Koboi. Ik wist wel dat er nog een psychotisch element aan dit reisje ontbrak. - Holly | Eoin Colfer | ||
| e0a18c8 | Humm humm haa. Rahmumm humm haa,' chantte Opal ter afronding. 'Vrede in mij, verdraagzaamheid om mij heen, vergeving op mijn pad. Goed Mervall, laat maar zien waar die smerige mens zit, zodat ik hem zijn eigen organen kan laten opvreten. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 80cd7fb | Catherine Broekhart stepped in from the balcony, where she had been waiting, and joined the embrace. The guard at the door was tempted, but decided against it. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| ef002d6 | Holly's mouth was a tight line as she shook her head. "Navy rules, Butler. You're on my boat, you follow my orders." "As I remember, I brought the boat." "Yes, thanks for bringing my boat." | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 61dc672 | Constance Lane tried to frown, but there wasn't enough slack skin across her brow. | plastic-surgery | Eoin Colfer | |
| bf91d40 | Lia Fail | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 48900b8 | He needed a plan. Something audacious and brilliant. Something that had never been attempted before. Artemis was not unduly worried on that front. His brain had never let him down before. | genius planning | Eoin Colfer | |
| 5dde4c6 | Artemis did not rise to the forge-a-relationship lure that Adamsson had tossed out. He did not have room in his life for yet another friend that he didn't trust. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 88c989a | On his way though the lobby minutes later, Artemis was highly amused to overhear several audience members gushing over the unorthodox direction of the opera's final scene. The exploding lamp, mused one buff, was doubtless a metaphor for Norma's own falling star. But no, argued a second. The lamp was obviously a modernistic interpretation of the burning stake which Norma was about to face. , thought Artemis as he pushed through the crowd to .. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 38c216d | The man was an animal. Base and foul. In a just world he would be the prisoner and Conor a free man. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| ccb79be | The ripple effects of young Opal's murder in the corner of a field were more widespread than even Artemis could have imagined, though in truth is the wrong verb, as Artemis Fowl was not in the habit of imagining anything. Even as a small boy, he had never nurtured daydreams of himself on horseback fighting dragons. What Artemis preferred to do was visualize an achievable objective and then work toward that goal. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 1959ee8 | Miss Paradizo," he said gently. "Minerva. Listen to me for a few moments--you will feel the truth of what I say." Minerva tutted. "Why is that? Because we're connected?" "Actually, we are. We are similar people. Both the most intelligent person in whatever room we happen to be in. Both constantly underestimated. Both determined to shine brightest in whichever discipline we pursue. Both dogged by scorn and loneliness." "Ridiculous," scoffed .. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 7b88600 | Foaly was well aware that he was babbling about hoof drawings in order to distract himself from the current situation. He had often assisted Holly through one crisis or another. But he had rarely been in the field to actually witness these crises occurring. The video logs never really capture the emotion, he thought. I am scared out of my wits right now, but no helmet-cam footage can convey that. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 10e406f | What are you? are you? I thought you shared Artemis's memories. How can you be so stupid?" Orion was unperturbed. "I share everything. Memories and movies are as real as each other to me. You, Peter Pan, the Loch Ness Monster, me. It's all real, maybe." | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 52f0491 | Tell me,' Artemis said, his voice still weak. 'How do I know you?' And so Holly began her story: 'It all started in Ho Chi Minh City one summer. It was sweltering by anyone's standards. Needless to say, Artemis Fowl would not have been willing to put up with such discomfort if something extremely important had not been at stake. Important to the plan ... | Eoin Colfer | ||
| fb190f8 | There never was anyone like Artemis Fowl, he thought. Though he didn't make my job any easier with all his shenanigans. Butler smiled. Artemis always had my back, even though he could barely reach it. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 6cd5ef8 | Eoin Colfer | |||
| b8434f7 | Ik was vroeger altijd zo dol op Pip en Kip. - Foaly | Eoin Colfer | ||
| fd3eb64 | Ze kunnen het huis niet binnengaan voor Fowl dood is. Het is een soort extreme allergische reactie. Dat betekent, geloof het of niet, dat betekent...' 'Dat ze het hebben gered,' maakte Holly zijn zin af. 'Hij leeft. Artemis Fowl leeft.' 'D'Arvit,' kreunde Root, en hij kwakte nog een portie kots op de terracotta tegels. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 6448b53 | Butler had an excuse for not being in Iceland that would hold up in any court of law and possibly even on a note for teacher. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 45dd950 | Angeline, distraught over her son's obsession and afraid of the effects of the past year on Artemis's mind, signed her thirteen-year-old up for treatment with the school counselor. You have to feel sorry for him. The counselor, that is. | counseling genius | Eoin Colfer | |
| 2fda848 | ARTEMIS was making final preparations in his office, updating his will and trying to master his feelings, tamping down a flat grey sky of sadness that threatened to cloud his resolve. He knew that Doctor Argon would advise him against bottling up his emotions as it would lead to psychological scarring in the long term. But there will be no long term, Doctor, he thought wryly. After so many adventures Artemis felt he should have known that t.. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 968ad6e | At his shoulder, Arno Blunt continued staring at Butler. The Fowl bodyguard blinked freely: in the event of confrontation, dry eyeballs would only lessen his advantage. Staring matches were for amateurs. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 87ac65a | Maybe you read my article in ?" "I never read press. You start believing it, you see..." | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 78a3ca4 | A change had come over No1. Initially, he had been snivelling--standard No1 behavior--but now the tears were drying on his cheeks, and his eyes were hard. , he thought. This was a big breakthrough for No1. Usually, when he found himself in a bad situation, No1 wished himself away. This time he was wishing someone else would disappear. Enough was finally enough, so No1 broke through a lifetime of conditioning and talked back to Abbot. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| aa796c3 | Holly took a moment to study a painting that dominated one wall. 'Oh, give me a break,' she said. The picture was in oils. Completely white. There was a brass plaque beneath. It read 'Snow Ghost'. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| f045d9f | Love can be a noun or a verb," she said." | Eoin Colfer | ||
| f776f06 | Pex and Chips were closer now, discussing the merits of various fictional characters. 'Captain Hook rocks,' said Pex. 'He would kick Barney's purple butt ten times out of ten.' Chips sighed. 'You're missing the whole point of Barney. It's a values thing. Butt-kicking is not the issue. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 1f61ef3 | Here we are, said Berthold, mopping his forehead with a Kleenex. A section of the paper remained trapped in the worry lines of his forehead, and fluttered there like a windsock in the air-conditioner blast. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 348b8a5 | LEP trainees often had difficulty developing the double focus needed to watch the terrain and their helmet screens. This often resulted in an action known as , which was how LEP officers referred to throwing up in one's helmet. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| d15a758 | Big Knobs. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| b0c4955 | Are you just saying the same thing in a different way? Is that why I sent you to university? | Eoin Colfer | ||
| b7f271a | Oh," said Mown, a handy non-committal syllable to have around when you haven't the first clue as to what you are feeling." | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 03add1a | There is no such thing as an ending, or a beginning for that matter, everything is middle. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 5530205 | Arguing with real people was marginally better than getting upset with sheets of paper. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| cae2ea5 | Soon the entire nebula was little more than a shawl of cosmic gauze thrown over a network of stars. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 05f41fe | Es konnte nie schaden zu wissen, wo sich das ortsansassige Getier so rumtrieb. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 6b893de | Selbstvertrauen ist nichts anderes als Unwissenheit. Wenn man sich stark fuhlt, dann nur, weil es etwas gibt, das man nicht weiss. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| c18056e | Immer zwei Schritte voraus, unser Master Artemis. Die Leute sagten, er sei ganz aus dem alten Holz geschnitzt. Doch sie irrten sich. Master Artemis war aus nagelneuem Holz, von einer Sorte, die noch keiner gesehen hatte. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| d5451ff | the spittle bandage on his forehead casting a zombie glow on his face. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 41c78e9 | Other men look up and down, left and right," he said. "But men like us are different. We are visionaries." -- | Eoin Colfer | ||
| cb87ebb | pouting. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 27f6b24 | one centimeter can make an awful lot of difference when you don't have many to spare. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 7528744 | There was something morbidly fascinating about flying into an uncharted tunnel at a reckless speed, with only a kleptomaniac dwarf's word for what lay at the other end. | Eoin Colfer |
