Guess the quote! (books, other writing, and tv show edition)
Okay so I just thought of this idea but turns out there was already a thread like this here for movies! 😄
So instead of movies we could play guess the quote for books (or any other kind of written word e.g. plays) and tv shows! So basically one person says a quote and the next person has to guess where that quote is from then posts another quote
I'll start 🙂
"To be, or not to be- that is the question"
Comments
I love this idea @Lost_Space_Explorer5 !
Is that from Shakespeare's Hamlet? 😊
Next one: "“Books! And cleverness! There are more important things — friendship and bravery."
Yes it is! @Emily-RO 🙂
That's from Harry Potter!
Next one: "He stared down at the golden curls of the Adversary, Destroyer of Kings, Angel of the Bottomless Pit, Great Beast that is called Dragon, Prince of This World, Father of Lies, Spawn of Satan, and Lord of Darkness. 'You know,' he concluded, after a while, 'I think he actually looks like an Adam.' "
You guessed it!! 😊
I don't know that one! Where is it from? It sounds amazing!
Next one: “That’s the spirit, one part brave, three parts fool.”
It's from good omens! Which I've only read half of but I've seen the tv show! It's pretty good!
Hmm I haven't heard this one lol let me guess... game of thrones?? Lol okay I will look it up...
Oh, Eragon? 😅 I haven't read that but I think it's about dragons?
Okay next one: "I may be on the side of the angels, but don't for one second think that I am one of them" 🕵️
That sounds so good! I'll have to look at Good Omens!
That's from Sherlock! Love love love that show and book series.
Next one: “When you've eliminated then impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, is the truth.”
Is this quote not also from Sherlock?? I checked, yes it is! But from the book series 😄
Next one: "There’s this emperor, and he asks the shepherd’s boy how many seconds in eternity. And the shepherd’s boy says, ‘There’s this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb it and an hour to go around it, and every hundred years a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain. And when the entire mountain is chiseled away, the first second of eternity will have passed.’ You may think that’s a hell of a long time. Personally, I think that’s a hell of a bird."
Hahahaha it is! 😝
Oh my gosh that's Doctor Who! Who is your favourite doctor?
Next one: “Sometimes life is like this tunnel. You can’t always see the light at the end of the tunnel, but if you keep moving, you will come to a better place.”
Yes it is Dr Who! Hmm my favourite doctor is a tie between david tennant and peter capaldi! Wbu?
Ooh I'm not sure where this quote is from... hm it feels disney... I was gonna guess soul but hmm I can picture like an old guy saying this.. hmm karate kid.. no.. wait it's not avatar is it? It feels like something Iroh would say 😂
Omg it is Iroh! Lol!
Okay next one: (I've cut out the name of the series so it's not SO obvious): "Do you think I sit around doing nothing? I haven't had a chance to sit around and do nothing since the day I arrived in Camelot, I'm too busy running around after Arthur, 'Do this, [name]!' 'Do that, [name]!', and when I'm not running around after Arthur, I'm doing chores for you, and when I'm not doing that I'm fulfilling my 'destiny' do you know how many times I've saved Arthur's life? I've lost count. Do I get any thanks? No. I have fought griffins, witches, uh, bandits. I have been punched, poisoned, pelted with fruit, and all the while I have to hide who I really am because if anyone finds out, Uther will have me executed. Sometimes I feel like I'm being pulled in so many directions I don't know which way to turn!"
I love David Tennant! I think I'm biased though because he was my first Doctor too 😊
Haha I love your thought process! It was Iroh! Best uncle ever.
Oh is that from Merlin? I loved that show so much!
Next one: "Hey there fella humans! Human fellas!"
Yep there is so much nostalgia with david tennant as dr who lol ❤️
It is from Merlin!
Oof I'm not sure about this one either 😅 I'm so bad at this game. This one actually looks like it's from soul but I just remembered this is the tv show/book thread lol umm hm. I'm getting a vibe of a show where someone pretends to be human. Ah idk! I'm looking this up 🤣
Okay it's from a show called 'the dragon prince'? I haven't seen this! What's it about? 🙂
Next one (this is a play!): "I don’t like small spaces and– I’ve never told anyone this, but I don’t much like– pigeons."
Dragon Prince is by the same people that made Avatar the Last Airbender! It's on Netflix if you wanted to watch it 😊
I'm racking my brains and I don't know where that's from? What play is it?
Next one: "Where's my super suit?!"
Ooh cool I will have to check it out! 😄
It's from the cursed child! That harry potter play! 🙂
That's from the incredibles! Which is technically not a book or tv show! 😜
Next one (I'll give you a hint- it's got David Tennant in it): "Why does everyone use first names so much, like they all work in marketing? Why do people insist on doing that? I mean, if you look at a person, I look at you, you know I’m talking to you. I don’t need to say your name three times to congratulate myself on remembering it, to create some sort of false intimacy."
Oh my goodness I want to watch that play! Did you enjoy it? 😊
OH NO I'm so sorry I got so excited about the Incredibles hahaha
Oh that's from Broadchurch! 😮 Thank you for the David Tennant hint!
Next one (another David Tennant one hehe): "My greatest weakness? Occasionally, I give a damn. And Kilgrave knows it. But now I know his."
Ohh no how do I not know this 😞 Kilgrave? That doesn't sound like dr who... hm... It's not good omens I don't think. Hmm.. There was a show which had david tennant as the murderer but that can't be it. Hmmm.. I'm looking this up.. 😞
Oh it's something I haven't heard of phew! Jessica jones? What's that about 🙂 ?
Next one: "I know what you're going to say, she's my sister, and I should be trying to get along with her." "No. She's crazy, and she needs to go down."
I think you might like Jessica Jones! It follows a badass Private Investigator who solves crimes 😊 She's so cool and David Tennant plays the bad guy!
Oh my gosh! I love this quote! Uncle Iroh best character ever 💙
Next one: "Admitting your fears is the first and most difficult step in overcoming them."
Ooh that does sound like a good show! @Emily-RO 😄 I will have to check it out!
Ohh that quote sounds so familiar where is it frommm. It's not another avatar quote is it?
Ohh I was close! It's from korra!
Next one: "Everybody lies"
Oh I don't know where that's from! Is it from House? @Lost_Space_Explorer5 please tell me!
Next one: “If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day, so I never have to live without you.”
Aww I knew I knew this from somewhere!! It's Pooh Bear 🥰🥰🥰
Next one: "I'm too sad to walk. Just give me a few hours." (Totally relatable right now 😂)
That's from Inside Out! I love that movie 😊 Such an amazing thing to give feelings colours and characters!!
Next one: "I am Beyonce always"
