<p>What I mean is . . . Maybe its only us . . .</p>
<p>Lord of the Flies, using google even though I've read the book. What can I say, it was a short excerpt?</p>
<p>" 'John dear!' said I in the gentlest voice, 'the key is down by the front steps, under a plantain leaf!'
That silenced him for a few moments.
Then he saidvery quietly indeed, 'Open the door, my darling!'
'I can't,' said I. 'The key is down by the front door under a plantain leaf!'
And then I said it again, several times, very gently and slowly, and said it so often that he had to go and see, and he got it of course, and came in. He stopped short by the door.
'What is the matter?' he cried. 'For God's sake, what are you doing?'
I kept on creeping just the same, but I looked at him over my shoulder.
'I've got out at last,' said I, 'in spite of you and Jane. And I've pulled off most of the paper, so you can't put me back!'
Now why should that man have fainted? But he did, and right across my path by the wall, so that I had to creep over him every time!"</p>

<p>The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Gillman?</p>
<p>"Sex is something I really don't understand too hot. You never know where the hell you are. I keep making up these sex rules for myself, and then I break them right away. Last year I made a rule that I was going to quit horsing around with girls that, deep down, gave me a pain in the ass. I broke it, though, the same week I made it - the same night, as a matter of fact."</p>
<p>Catcher in the Rye?</p>
<p>I'll let someone else put up the next quote, though. I'm not at home right now and I wouldn't want to misquote.</p>
<p>The Yellow Wallpaper is so fabulous</p>
<p>"Not, of course, that I fool myself with thoughts that I'm more noble. Pointless, ridiculous monster crouched in the shadows, stinking of dead men, murdered children, martyred cows. (I am neither proud nor ashamed, understand. One more dull victim, leering at seasons that never were meant to be observed.)"</p>
<p>"You seek for knowledge and wisdom, as I once did; and I ardently hope that the gratification of your wishes may not be a serpent to sting you,as mine has been."</p>

<p>"Rage:
Sing, Goddess, Achilles' rage,
Black and murderous, that cost the Greeks
Incalculable pain, pitched countless souls
Of heroes into Hades' dark,
And left their bodies to rot as feasts
For dogs and birds, as Zeus' will was done."</p>

<p>"Dying is dirty business. Like getting born."</p>

<p>"Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more,
Men were deceivers ever,
One foot in sea and one on shore,
To one thing constant never:
Then sigh not so, but let them go,
And be your blithe and bonny,
Converting all your sounds of woe
Into Hey nonny, nonny."</p>
<p>"Sign no more, ladies, sign no more" Shakespear</p>
<p>Hmmm, never heard of "Sign no more, ladies, sign no more"?</p>
<p>I don't know that one but here's mine</p>
<p>And we'll live off the fat ah the land</p>
