Couldn't think of any good quotes but I had a go at doodling instead. I've not drawn anything for ages but felt inspired by Willow's stuff. So I've had a go at drawing my own Slyth boy.

Oh wow, he looks like he's up to something! A Slytherin indeed. The colors are wonderful. I can't work with colors very well. I'm working on it, but I'm better off with shades of gray. What a lovely expression on his face.
...Kind of looks like Tom... except he has green eyes. My Tom has blue.
Teehee. Yes, I remember that piece of artwork, Silver. It's great!

That's very nice, Jameson. I like the coloring. So Willow's Slytherin boy is called Jared; how about yours? Or is it supposed to be Tom Riddle?

I know it's a geeky name, but it *could* be an evil-geeky name! It's the first one that came to mind when I saw the picture, honestly...Albert.
But maybe I just have a thing for pale, skinny, evil-geeky guys. ;D

Albert?! Really? He doesn't look like an Albert to me, although there's nothing wrong with pale, skinny evil-geeky guys called Albert. ;D But sure, if you like that name, go ahead!!
Haha, I was just talking to my friend and she has this quote in her profile. For some reason I thought it had some evil meaning, but it really doesn't. It's actually supposed to be like an inspirational-like quote. I stilll like it, though. Interpret as you will:
"When you do things right, people won't be sure you did them at all." -- from "Futurama" apparently

Albert the pale, skinny, Slytherin geeky kid... Now that's interesting.
Ahahaha! That's funny, Silver! And I see the evilness in it as well. Oi, I love Futurama

I found another quote in my history textbook. And also one in my English book. You know, other people can post quotes, too.
- "In one irate essay, Benjamin Franklin asked his readers to consider just how the colonists might repay the leaders of Great Britain for shipping so many felons to America. He suggested that rattlesnakes might be the appropriate gift." (p.99)
- "Believe me, everything looks like a noose if you stare at it long enough." (p.107)
And here are two quotes from Poe's "The Tell-Tale Heart", like I promised.
- "I heard all things in the heaven and in the earth. I heard many things in hell."
- "I knew what the old man felt, and pitied him, although I chuckled at heart."

;D If you say so, Silver.
"'I really am sorry about your father. It's not fair.' Draco's eyes unfocused slightly, almost as if he was looking at something beyond Harry. 'That's true,' he said, 'but think how much worse it would be if life was fair, and all the awful things that happened to us happened because we actually deserve them. I for one take great comfort in the completely impersonal hostility of the universe.' 'Wow. That's a really depressing worldview, Malfoy.' 'Thanks. '" --Cassandra Claire, Draco Sinister
"If this isn't the cherry of cruelty on top of the sundae of despair that has been my day so far, I don't know what it is."
--Malfoy, "Draco Sinister"
"Don't knock it -- my Dark Arts background just saved your hide, Potter. But don't worry, I'll be sure to call in your expertise as soon as we have to deal with, say, a small box of puppies."
--Malfoy, DS
"A Mai Tai. With an umbrella. And don't come back until you've got one. I don't care if you have to go to London for it. I'm the Heir of Slytherin and my whims must be served."
--Malfoy, DS
"But it would amuse me to do so. Of course, it would also amuse me to hang you both headfirst over a scorpion pit."
--Slytherin, DS
You know you love them!

Some more quotes I've encountered in my readings:
- "...Happiness courts the light, so we deem the world is gay; but misery hides aloof, so we deem that misery there is none."
-- from "Bartleby the Scrivener" by Herman Melville
And the following four quotes are from "Young Goodman Brown" by Nathaniel Hawthorne.
- "'There is no good on earth; and sin is but a name. Come, devil; for to thee is this world given.'"
- "The fiend in his own shape is less hideous than when he rages in the breast of man."
- "It was strange to see that the good shrank not from the wicked, nor were the sinners abashed by the saints."
- "'Evil is the nature of mankind. Evil must be your only happiness. Welcome again, my children, to the communion of your race.'"

I think this thread is just going to become a place for me to dump all the good quotes I find.
"Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph." -- from Thomas Paine's first installment of "The Crisis"
