"My values are not based on violence. My values are based on courage, which you see time and time again in my books. A warrior isn't somebody like Bruce Willis or Arnold Schwarzenegger. A warrior can be any age. A warrior is a person people look up to." ~ Brian Jacques

This one by BJ has been mentioned on lots of other boards:

"Animals make better people then people."

"Lost? I'm never lost! Do I look lost to you?" - Tarquin. Really, I adore just about anything that he says.

"We've lived one season too long." - Bragoon and the accompanying scene were absolutely epic.

I'm sure I'll think of more later.

[Taggerung_of_Redwall]

That was dramatic when Bragoon said that. Very dramatic. And epic.

Yes, Tarquin Longleap Woodsorrel. His lovelorn ditties were...lovelorn. "Let's see, what rhythms with wife. Knife....strife...life. Life! That's it!"

Yessss yes yes yes! Poor Tarkers.

Down in the orchard Tarquin sat stuffing dewberry and sugared apple cake, strumming his harolina mournfully.

"O Rosie, why did you leave me?
You're enough to give a bally chap the pip,
Laughin' in my face, ha ha ha ha ha,
An' leavin' me in tears as off you trip.... Yowch!"

A hard green apple bounced off Tarquin's head as Mother Mellus's voice called out from the trees, "I'll leave you in tears if you don't quit your caterwauling and let us get some rest. I'll wrap the harolina round your head, see if I don't!"

xDDD. Hahahaahaa

I loved that scene, it was very well done too.

[Osu]

I know, right? Mellus was great, too, I wasn't happy when she died. :/



Here's one of my veeeery favorites from the Long Patrol, when Perigord's patrol is packing up after their experience with the painted ones.

Rockjaw threw the rat over one shoulder, chatting to lieutenant Morio as he did.
'Wot does the Major mean by arboreal verdance, sah?'
'Hmm, arboreal verdance, lemme see, I rather think it means treetops, leafy green ones.'
'Oh! Then why didn't 'e say treetops?'
'Why should he when he knows how t'say words like arboreal verdance?'

Words to live by. XD

[Taggerung_of_Redwall]

Aye. xD. Loved Rockjaw Grang

I love what Gonff says when he's facing arrest:

"Er, aha ha. Hello, mateys, I was flying my cloud, you see-"

"...Never let your heart rule your mind." -Luke the Warrior

[Captain Tammo]

Yes! I like bragoons quote! Before that huge battle over the abyss. That and the quote that is like my signature kind of thing at the bottom of my post

[Osu]

"...Never let your heart rule your mind." -Luke the Warrior

This is a very, very good quote. Love this one. Luke put out some really good stuff.

Threeclaws: Are you sure it was a pike that bit you?
Vitch: [Sucking on foot] Well, it wasn't a tadpole.
