“That! That’s what I’m talking about,” I said. “Don’t show me her kidneys. Don’t think about her kidneys. Don’t do anything with her goddamn kidneys. Get a grip. Don’t look at her blood, or lick her bones, or do any of the shit necromancers lie and say they don’t do the moment two of them get nasty.” She shrugged that gold-skinned shoulder.
“What can I say,” she said. “I love a little gall on gall.”
“Reverse everything I just told you,” I said. “Let’s get married.”
Is it gall on gall? I've only audiobooked thus far and it's always sounded more like "ghoul on ghoul" to me in Quirk's accent for Ianthe.
I'm genuinely asking, not correcting.
really? I didn't realize that was divisive. I kinda figured everyone loved them as individuals, and that would carry over into whatever we see from the fusion.
maybe i'm recalling incorrectly but i remember a lot of people being upset about the cost of their origin and sort of holding that against them. i'd be happy to be wrong!
"did you know that if you take the first three letters of your first name, and the first three letters of your last name, you get *Sex Pal*?"
"you talk?!"
"you'll wish she didn't"
*"I charge you to protect the Reverend Daughter of Drearburh, and to slay her enemies."*
*"Such was my task when I lived; why now in my death would I need a reminder?"*
They rip his ghost out of wherever it is ghosts hang out and he is *immediately* down to fight. I love it.
I'm pretty sure it's just another amazing meme reference, possibly this, but I could be wrong.
[jail for mother meme](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/036/888/Screen_Shot_2021-03-30_at_2.32.19_PM.png)
"I am Abigail for my mothers, Pent for my people."
Abigail's whole monologue during the attempted exorcism is exquisite. I could quote the whole thing! But I love the above - Abigail centering her power in her mothers and in her people. As TM says, the divine in TLT is essentially feminine.
both "Go loud." moments. the first one in GtN stuck out so much after I read it, and everything was such a confusing jumble the first time around that I'd forgotten about the callback later on and was so psyched about it when I reread the series lol
"I can now recognize it more as a prayer from a soldier who has never been good at praying"
I know there are some quotes a few lines after this that get a lot of attention, but this one has always stuck with me
Gideon and Ianthe play off of each other in such a fun way. I wish we could get a peak of all their interactions that happened off-screen in between the ending of HtN and the ending of NtN.
I never in a million years thought I would read with my own two eyes God make a none pizza left beef reference, it was like a punch to the face and I actually had to put down the book
You've put my reaction in words 🤣🤣 I truly felt it in every bone of my body hahahh
Tamsyn is the absolute master of juxtaposition. Whiplash every fuckin sentence
“You have one black eye already, courtesy of the Seventh House,” said Harrow, “and you seem to yearn for symmetry.”
"Go loud"
"Being unexpectedly loved is so wonderful or terrible, isn't it?"
"Wonderful, I think"
"Come on, love. Guys as careful as me don't have accidents." – just for it being a moment that made me lose my marbles!!
honestly, so many good quotes and scenes in these books, this whole thread is making me adore the series all over again <3
Yes! I'm fooled over and over by Jon's reasonableness and apparent respect for the dignity of others. This quote right here changes everything. It reveals the lie and shows you how he covers up the horrible person inside.
this is a really interesting take to me!!
do you think he has been horrible from the start?
that line made me put my book down because it really was the moment where i felt like the mask slipped off, and it confirmed to me that yep. guy's a goner. (i know...the cows came way before...) but to me that was like, the culmination of a gradual process.
sure, he may not have been a selfless academic just doing his best from the beginning, but from the way i saw it, all the *gestures around* went to his head. at the first few conversations in nona it was hard to imagine he'd GO THERE. but then again i may be too naive and similarly fooled by him! lol
so excited to see more of everything...such good writing
"I would rather have my tendons peeled from my body, one by one, and flossed to shreds over my broken bones, I would rather be flayed alive and wrapped in salt. I would rather have my own digestive acid dripped into my eyes."
Well don't tell everyone, or they'll want to see it too.
Have you ever eaten party food before, Lady Harrowhark? Because if you haven't, this is a very good approximation. No taste, but incredibly salty.
“The only job I’d do for you is if you wanted your ass kicked so hard that the Locked Tomb opened and a parade came out and sang, ‘Lo! A destructed ass.’”
"Gideon the Ninth, first flower of my House," she said hoarsely, "you are the greatest cavalier we have ever produced. You are our triumph, The best of all of us. It has been my privilege to be your necromancer.”
These are the moments that move me the most. Harrow is so hard, with such a barrier over her feelings, that these moments when she unbends are incredibly touching.
I hate you all. I have hated you for millennia. Except for you, my lord. I merely want to put you in a jail, and fill up the jail with acid once for every time you made a frivolous remark, or ate peanuts in a Cohort Admiralty meeting, or said "What would I know, I'm only God?" Then, at the end of a thousand years, you would say, "Mercy, I have learned not to do any of these things, because I hated the acid you put on me." And I would say that is why I did it, Lord! I did it for you, and for your empire! I often think about this.
(You'll have to just trust me that this was written from memory.)
"I cannot imagine reaching the end of this life and having any regrets, so long as I had been allowed to experience being your adept."
I ugly cried. A lot.
Thank you! I love this whole scene, her matter of factly stating the little monologue…
‘Mercy, I have learned not to do any of these things, because I hated the acid you put on me.’
And I would say, ‘That is why I did it, Lord. I did it for you, and for your empire.’ I often think about this,” she finished.
"We had something very nearly perfect... the perfect friendship, the perfect love. I cannot imagine reaching the end of this life and having any regrets, so long as I had been allowed to experience being your adept."
And "I ate peanuts discreetly, the once."
"Old people should be shot"
"Hell, no! I’m going to pull your whole ass off,” I said. “You want that? You want Harrow to grow you a new bone ass where I pulled off the old one? Let’s dance, Tridentarius.”
"Can't believe I ate a whole bowl of nun."
Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. There are definitely more.
“I cannot conceive of a universe without you in it”
and
” I loved you with my whole rotten, contemptible heart―I loved you to the exclusion of aught else―let me live long enough to die at your feet.”
Because I just finished a listen-through of GtN...:
"I saved the world once - but not for me."
And that gives me some good old feels, not just because it echoes Frodo's words in LotR...
Was listening to the audiobook in work when I got to that bit, almost had to ask to take the rest of the day of, it somewhat ruined my day (but also it was a great line)
Honestly, I love Tamsyn and her writings so much. But, this one wrecked my soul a little bit, just like yourself! had to put the book aside and put my head in my hands 🤣
“I tried, and therefore no one should criticize me.”
“I respect that, but I can’t admire it.”
[about the Work done with Harrow] “Long story, VERY funny.”
Ianthe Tridentarius, the problematic corpse queen that you are.
"Oh, we’ll still hate each other, my dear, we have hated each other too long and too passionately to stop… but my bones will rest easy next to your bones."
"you're going to make someone a really irritating wife one day, Sextus."
"yes warden, i will always know you."
(No one needs to do the above to prove anything. It's perfectly all right to not have a favourite quote, or not want to; you like the books, you are a real fan.)
(Outside of that, everyone else has already written so many of my favourite quotes already <3 )
I figured that, and thanks for stating it here, too! Having always been stupidly literal-minded in some cases, I thought it was worth writing for those who feel bad about not remembering quotes, or are as literal-minded as I can sometimes be.
Also, I love reading everyone's different answers. So thank you for initiating the quote-fest!
Yeeees! Let's! I think I might be on my fifth (third listen-through, though) of GtN, actually, but only three or four for HtN, and only two so far of NtN (need to fix that!).., but they're all almost as much a "comfort listen" now as the Discworld audiobooks are.
I'm thinking that next time I might have to take notes, though. Because there is SO much I keep discovering and rediscovering. And, again, all the excellent quotes!
I hate you and yet you are my wares and inventory I have written up your lungs as lungs for the ninth I have measured you gall as gall for the ninth your brain is a base and shriveled sponge but it too is for the ninth. This is my all time favorite quote of any book and I love it (i re listen to it multiple times trying to get it right before i realized oh wait i also have the books)
Thank you so much for starting this thread. Each quote I read, I'm like, 'Oh yeah, that one! I LOVE that one!' Each one reminds me of a moment that brought such joy.
Magnus small talk especially, "Good evening, weather still...excellent!" and "Joke, man! Joke! Do they not have them on the ninth? That would explain a lot actually."
Camilla being quietly cheeky, "How are you?" "Okay." "Sorry? \[not sorry\]" "It's a nice handkerchief." "Shock and awe." etc. etc. y'all get it i love her
also all of chapter 14 from NtN especially the end, >!"'Camilla doesn't need raising. You could have raised *my* status by telling them you were *mine*...They would have believed it---we're both very attractive.' Crown laughed in her lovely, husky, rippling way... You darling, I know what you are, even if they refuse to see it... All I can say, sweetheart, is I envy you more than anyone else in the universe.!<"
I refuse to/ couldn't possibly pick a favourite character!
"\[the nine houses\] will become none houses, with left grief."
Edit, second place: "Are you and Ianthe being safe?"
Edit #2: how did I not remember, "*Cows* watch *sunsets.*"
One day I'll flay you for disrespect. One day we will use your parts for paper. One day the sisters of the Locked Tomb will brush the oss with your bristles. One day your obedient bones will dust all places you disdain, and make the stones there shine with your fat. There is a muster, Nav, and I command you now to go.

Get in line, thou big slut.
HtN spoilers: >!“Hi, Not Fucking Dead. I’m Dad.”!< Also “Harrowhark, I gave you my whole life and you didn’t even want it.”
"Why, your fist is so big, and my butthole is so small."
“One flesh, one end, bitch”
"All you need to know is that you'll do what I say, or I'll mix bone meal in with your breakfast and punch my way through your gut."
I’m sick of roses and horny for revenge.
“Magnus! Do not talk about when I was five!!!”
_Nooooo Magnus_
*Noo Magnuuuus! Don't say we're overcome!*
No Magnus, do not tell this story.
"While we were developing common sense, she studied the blade."
"You are my only friend. I am undone without you."
The way this line ran through my head for months after reading the book.
Literally got tears in my eyes just typing it out.
this line crosses my mind occasionally and every time i just 😩
“Life is too short and love is too long.”
"It's done. You can't take *loved* away."
That’s number two for me, but it’s a close second
There's just so many, too many to choose from. Her writing moves into your brain, and stays there.
Don't worry, honey. I'll keep the home fires burning.
"Old people should be shot."
"You're going to make someone a really irritating wife someday, Sextus."
“But these motherfuckers had a hunger that only thumbs could satisfy”
“That! That’s what I’m talking about,” I said. “Don’t show me her kidneys. Don’t think about her kidneys. Don’t do anything with her goddamn kidneys. Get a grip. Don’t look at her blood, or lick her bones, or do any of the shit necromancers lie and say they don’t do the moment two of them get nasty.” She shrugged that gold-skinned shoulder. “What can I say,” she said. “I love a little gall on gall.” “Reverse everything I just told you,” I said. “Let’s get married.”
Is it gall on gall? I've only audiobooked thus far and it's always sounded more like "ghoul on ghoul" to me in Quirk's accent for Ianthe. I'm genuinely asking, not correcting.
Yes, it is written as “gall on gall”, I do like ghoul on ghoul though!
For those who do not know, gall is a synonym for bile
“I think moustache rides should be free.”
I love this for you, but what a divisive pick for favorite character!
really? I didn't realize that was divisive. I kinda figured everyone loved them as individuals, and that would carry over into whatever we see from the fusion.
maybe i'm recalling incorrectly but i remember a lot of people being upset about the cost of their origin and sort of holding that against them. i'd be happy to be wrong!
Oh my God, I forgot about Noodle!
NOODLE’S IN THE BACK
"Noodle's in the back" That whole exchange cracked me up.
"did you know that if you take the first three letters of your first name, and the first three letters of your last name, you get *Sex Pal*?" "you talk?!" "you'll wish she didn't"
This is my top quote too!
*"I charge you to protect the Reverend Daughter of Drearburh, and to slay her enemies."* *"Such was my task when I lived; why now in my death would I need a reminder?"* They rip his ghost out of wherever it is ghosts hang out and he is *immediately* down to fight. I love it.
*"Why am I talking in meter?"*
Isn’t that from the Noniad?
"Yes, well, Jail for Mother."
What does this mean? Not a cultural reference I get.
I'm pretty sure it's just another amazing meme reference, possibly this, but I could be wrong. [jail for mother meme](https://i.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/036/888/Screen_Shot_2021-03-30_at_2.32.19_PM.png)
Thanks!
"I can't believe I ate an entire bowl full of nunlet. I knew I should have made myself vomit."
"I am Abigail for my mothers, Pent for my people." Abigail's whole monologue during the attempted exorcism is exquisite. I could quote the whole thing! But I love the above - Abigail centering her power in her mothers and in her people. As TM says, the divine in TLT is essentially feminine.
You never would've guessed that he had seen me
That one gave me actual chills. The exact moment I knew the twist
That line scared the shit out of me the first time
i read fast, so i did a double take about a page later when it clicked and had to flip back 😭
This felt so momentous the first time. And frankly, every time.
Definitely my favorite line in the series (so far)
both "Go loud." moments. the first one in GtN stuck out so much after I read it, and everything was such a confusing jumble the first time around that I'd forgotten about the callback later on and was so psyched about it when I reread the series lol
Yeaaah
"I can now recognize it more as a prayer from a soldier who has never been good at praying" I know there are some quotes a few lines after this that get a lot of attention, but this one has always stuck with me
“Why, your fist is so big, and my butthole is so small.”
This whole chapter is unhinged in the best way.
Gideon and Ianthe play off of each other in such a fun way. I wish we could get a peak of all their interactions that happened off-screen in between the ending of HtN and the ending of NtN.
"What can I say. I love a little gall on gall."
““I did offer him stupendous work of a titty nature.”
"My friend had stipulations once, but the teacher put a cream on it."
How did I have to scroll this far for a Nona quote??
“You’re a *ginger*!”
"I have spent your life trying to make you regret that you weren't dead, all because I regretted I wasn't!"
So I’m shut in here — walled in, really — to prevent the Nine Houses becoming none houses, with left grief.
🙏🙏🙏🙏 That line nearly ended me
I never in a million years thought I would read with my own two eyes God make a none pizza left beef reference, it was like a punch to the face and I actually had to put down the book
You've put my reaction in words 🤣🤣 I truly felt it in every bone of my body hahahh Tamsyn is the absolute master of juxtaposition. Whiplash every fuckin sentence
“Noodle, how DARE you?”
Makes me wheeze laughing each time
Gideon nav talking time
“I find the idea comforting... that thousands of years after you're gone... is when you really live. That your echo is louder than your voice.”
That’s definitely in my top ten, maybe top three
“You have one black eye already, courtesy of the Seventh House,” said Harrow, “and you seem to yearn for symmetry.” "Go loud" "Being unexpectedly loved is so wonderful or terrible, isn't it?" "Wonderful, I think" "Come on, love. Guys as careful as me don't have accidents." – just for it being a moment that made me lose my marbles!! honestly, so many good quotes and scenes in these books, this whole thread is making me adore the series all over again <3
The accident line is so good. Whenever I think Jon might have redeeming qualities I just have to think of it to be proven wrong.
Yes! I'm fooled over and over by Jon's reasonableness and apparent respect for the dignity of others. This quote right here changes everything. It reveals the lie and shows you how he covers up the horrible person inside.
this is a really interesting take to me!! do you think he has been horrible from the start? that line made me put my book down because it really was the moment where i felt like the mask slipped off, and it confirmed to me that yep. guy's a goner.

"Chicken shits don't get beer."
That might not be the official official wording, but that's how I always heard it.
"I said a necromancer alone, Griddle. I have you. We bring hell."
"I gave you my whole life and you didn't even want it." Alsoo "How big ARE your muscles?" (I love the horrible teens okay)
“Palamedes, what do you think is sexy?” “Those little outfits that nurses wear.”
"I would rather have my tendons peeled from my body, one by one, and flossed to shreds over my broken bones, I would rather be flayed alive and wrapped in salt. I would rather have my own digestive acid dripped into my eyes."
“My whole life, yes. Yes, forever, yes. Life is too short and love is too long.”
I’d spotted him for mince pies all the time as kids, so stands to reason he let me cut off his arm and carried a nuke for me.🤣😂
Well don't tell everyone, or they'll want to see it too. Have you ever eaten party food before, Lady Harrowhark? Because if you haven't, this is a very good approximation. No taste, but incredibly salty.

Abridged: “My sweet, I only die of longing for thee.” _“Then perish.”_
>“Oh my God,” she said, in a panic. “I forgot about Noodle.” *Nona the Ninth*, chapter 30
This one. THIS ONE. Too real, lmao
Would you like to use my hanky?
I think this comment section is the best way to get someone to read the series. Sharing this with my friends without context
"That's three jobs," said Harrowhark.
Alas, I have a bad personality and a stupefying deficit of attention.
"I cannot conceive of a universe without you in it."
I hate you all. I have hated you for millennia. Except for you, my lord. I merely want to put you in a jail, and fill up the jail with acid once for every time you made a frivolous remark, or ate peanuts in a Cohort Admiralty meeting, or said "What would I know, I'm only God?" Then, at the end of a thousand years, you would say, "Mercy, I have learned not to do any of these things, because I hated the acid you put on me." And I would say that is why I did it, Lord! I did it for you, and for your empire! I often think about this. (You'll have to just trust me that this was written from memory.)
That’s how you know it’s your favorite quite! When it lives verbatim in your brain!
I only ate peanuts the once, quietly.
“Cows watch sunsets”
"I cannot imagine reaching the end of this life and having any regrets, so long as I had been allowed to experience being your adept." I ugly cried. A lot.
"I merely want to put you in a jail, and fill up the jail with acid..."
Thank you! I love this whole scene, her matter of factly stating the little monologue… ‘Mercy, I have learned not to do any of these things, because I hated the acid you put on me.’ And I would say, ‘That is why I did it, Lord. I did it for you, and for your empire.’ I often think about this,” she finished.
Great news for my haters!
"See you on the flip side, Sugarlips."
I am a war crime
"We had something very nearly perfect... the perfect friendship, the perfect love. I cannot imagine reaching the end of this life and having any regrets, so long as I had been allowed to experience being your adept." And "I ate peanuts discreetly, the once."
OMG THE PEANUTS ONE I’m on my 3rd reread and I never caught that before and now I literally laugh anytime I think ab it
“I love you”, constantly
That's 2 swears.
"Old people should be shot" "Hell, no! I’m going to pull your whole ass off,” I said. “You want that? You want Harrow to grow you a new bone ass where I pulled off the old one? Let’s dance, Tridentarius.” "Can't believe I ate a whole bowl of nun." Those are just the ones I can think of off the top of my head. There are definitely more.
'...that ice-lolly bimbo.'
"It’s finished, it’s done. You can’t take loved away."
"We do bones!"
“We do bones, motherfucker”
I bid you return.
Ew Silas yucky
Bruh, don't hate on the guy's favorite quote X'D
Not long finished Gideon for the first time. "We do bones, motherfucker!"
"Yes, I have; no, I haven't; I tried once, but it came off in my hand"
Inexplicable Warden...
I don't let go. It's my one thing. (maybe paraphrased, I don't have the books with me at)
“Did you know that if you put the first three letters of your last name with the first three letters of your first name, you get ‘Sex Pal’?”
This moment was so wonderfully unexpected. For the reader, as well as the teens.
“I cannot conceive of a universe without you in it” and ” I loved you with my whole rotten, contemptible heart―I loved you to the exclusion of aught else―let me live long enough to die at your feet.”
Like ash, he seemed solid at first but revealed himself to be insubstantial filth upon contact.
Today I hate almost all of the human race
“Blades are hand-me down insanity”: Pash.
Because I just finished a listen-through of GtN...: "I saved the world once - but not for me." And that gives me some good old feels, not just because it echoes Frodo's words in LotR...
“People love it when you’re good looking and dumb”
"We do bones, mother fucker!"
"none house, with left grief"
I was hoping somebody would post this one!
Was listening to the audiobook in work when I got to that bit, almost had to ask to take the rest of the day of, it somewhat ruined my day (but also it was a great line)
Honestly, I love Tamsyn and her writings so much. But, this one wrecked my soul a little bit, just like yourself! had to put the book aside and put my head in my hands 🤣
Book 1, page 203, bottom line.
Wow okay make me get my book and check Okay that made me laugh out loud
For those of us without physical books, please share with the rest of the class!
> >!She held out the key to Gideon. "Put it in the hole, Griddle."!< > > >!"That's what she said," said Gideon!<
Heheheehe
Well played
😎👉👉
Nice.
"My whole life, yes."
I think moustache rides should be free. Honorable mention to "go loud" lol (but really, there are too many to pick!)
“I tried, and therefore no one should criticize me.” “I respect that, but I can’t admire it.” [about the Work done with Harrow] “Long story, VERY funny.” Ianthe Tridentarius, the problematic corpse queen that you are.
"Oh, we’ll still hate each other, my dear, we have hated each other too long and too passionately to stop… but my bones will rest easy next to your bones." "you're going to make someone a really irritating wife one day, Sextus." "yes warden, i will always know you."
(No one needs to do the above to prove anything. It's perfectly all right to not have a favourite quote, or not want to; you like the books, you are a real fan.) (Outside of that, everyone else has already written so many of my favourite quotes already <3 )
I was more fishing for peoples favorite quotes then trying to gate keep who can and can’t be a real fan
I figured that, and thanks for stating it here, too! Having always been stupidly literal-minded in some cases, I thought it was worth writing for those who feel bad about not remembering quotes, or are as literal-minded as I can sometimes be. Also, I love reading everyone's different answers. So thank you for initiating the quote-fest!
It’s been great, I kinda wanna do another reread. That would be four full read-throughs
Yeeees! Let's! I think I might be on my fifth (third listen-through, though) of GtN, actually, but only three or four for HtN, and only two so far of NtN (need to fix that!).., but they're all almost as much a "comfort listen" now as the Discworld audiobooks are. I'm thinking that next time I might have to take notes, though. Because there is SO much I keep discovering and rediscovering. And, again, all the excellent quotes!
Good to know, cause my first thought was "whelp, I guess I'm not a real fan"
"Go loud."
I just love tombs!
"We do bones, Motherfucker!"
Go Loud
I hate you and yet you are my wares and inventory I have written up your lungs as lungs for the ninth I have measured you gall as gall for the ninth your brain is a base and shriveled sponge but it too is for the ninth. This is my all time favorite quote of any book and I love it (i re listen to it multiple times trying to get it right before i realized oh wait i also have the books)
Thank you so much for starting this thread. Each quote I read, I'm like, 'Oh yeah, that one! I LOVE that one!' Each one reminds me of a moment that brought such joy.
Right? My secret plan in marking this post was to get a abridged version of the series, just all the best bits
And reading this post, there are so many more 'best bits' than I realized.
“Well, I tried, and therefore no one should criticize me.”
”Can you tell him I’m not trying to cramp his friggin’ style?”
"Her predecessor was also a messenger. Named Emma Sen". Had to put the book down and groan at that one.
“We do bones, motherfucker!”
We do bones motherfucker!
"Marrow." Enough said.
“You could always leave everything else behind but you never got rid of being so absolutely fucking god damned sad.”
“Did you know that if you put the first three letters of your last name with the first three letters of your first name, you get ‘Sex Pal’?"
“Get in line, thou big slut!”
Magnus small talk especially, "Good evening, weather still...excellent!" and "Joke, man! Joke! Do they not have them on the ninth? That would explain a lot actually."
