I figured we should have a little place where to quote any little excerpts from plays, books, etc. This shall certainly be interesting..... I will begin with a few!
Remy: "Why did M. Moncharmin hurredly whisper to me, 'Go away! Go away! Whatever you do, don't touch M. le Directeur!' Am Isupposed to have an infectious disease!?"
-Gaston Leroux pg 147
Remy: "You did see it Gabriel, for you went with Mercier and Mother Giry to Mercier's office. Since then, you and Mercier have been seen, but no one has seen Mother Giry."
Gabriel: "Do you think we've eaten her?"
-Gaston Leroux pg 148
Raoul: "It's you!" he cried, n a feverish voice. "You, who know Erik's secrets and don't want me to speak of them. Who are you?"
Nadir: "You know who I am! . . . I am the Persian!"
-Gaston Leroux pg 179
((gotta laugh at how he is only known as The Persian throughout the entire book. heh The Persian!))
Carlotta: "The stress that falls upon a famous prima donna!
Terrible diseases,
coughs and colds and sneezes!
Still, the driest throat
will reach the highest note,
in search of the perfect opera!"
-ALW
Piangi (Hannibal): "Sad to return to find the land we love threatened once more by Roma's far-reaching grasp."
Reyer: "Signior... if you please: 'Rome.' We say 'Rome,' not 'Roma.'"
Piangi: "Si, si, Rome, not Roma. Is very hard for me." *practicing* "Rome.... Rome...."
-ALW
whee xd

"I understand!"- Erik
...No, just kidding about that one. xd
Hmm...I've got a lot of them, but I'll just mention a few of my favorites at the moment. I'd say this is one of my favorite quotes:
"Know that I am built up of death from head to foot and that it is a corpse that loves you and adores you and will never, never leave you!" -Our favorite masked man. xp Ahh...I'd probably quote everything Erik says in the original book.
"Masquerade, paper faces on parade..." and all of Stranger Than You Dreamt it.
"Phantom- I have to say, in all my years, I have never heard a voice quite like yours.
Carlotta- *coming closer* Why, thank you.
Phantom- Not even in a barnyard.
Carlotta-...*she stops short* What?
Phantom- Where of course I've never been.
Carlotta-*beginning to realize who it is* Oh my God...
Phantom- Though I can imagine." -From Yeston/Kopit version. xd

Phantom of the Shrub " "Phantom- I have to say, in all my years, I have never heard a voice quite like yours. Carlotta- *coming closer* Why, thank you. Phantom- Not even in a barnyard. Carlotta-...*she stops short* What? Phantom- Where of course I've never been. Carlotta-*beginning to realize who it is* Oh my God... Phantom- Though I can imagine." -From Yeston/Kopit version. xd The what version? For some reason, I really enjoy many lines from Prima Donna.... It seems so much like Andre and Firmin are trying to con Carlotta! "We get our opera; she gets her limelight!" "...a diva happy to relieve a chorus girl who's gone and slept with the patron" xd They think Christine's a floosy!

"Monsieur, I bid you welcome, did you think that I would harm her?" -The Phantom from ALW.
"You will curse the day you did not do..All that the Phantom asked of YOU!" *Then evil maniacal laughter follows* -The Phantom from ALW whee
"Flattering child you shall know me -- See why in shadow I hide..Look at your face in the mirror, I am there INSIDE!" -The Phantom from ALW.
"What raging FIRE shall flood the soul, what rich DESIRE unlocks its door..? What sweet seduction lies before us...?" -The Phantom from ALW.
"She went away with her genius!" "Her genius?" "Yes, her genius, don't you see?" "Yes, I see, I see!" Raoul and Christine's 'Mother' (can't remember her name sweatdrop ) from Gaston Leroux. *Following that conversation, Raoul proceeds to think of Christine as the Phantom's lover/whore.* xd
"And then he burst into tears" Raoul from Gaston Leroux. xd I always thought it was funny that Raoul was bursting into tears every other chapter... whee

"I won't answer for anything!...If Erik's secrets cease to be Erik's secrets, it will be a bad lookout for a goodly number of the human race! That's all I have to tell you, and unless you are a great booby, it ought to be enough for you...except that you don't know how to take a hint." -Erik to the Persian, Ch. 21 around pg 208 in the signet classic book
Hee hee he said 'booby'
"If you turn the grasshopper, mademoiselle, we shall all be blown up.There is enough gun-powder under our feet to blow up a whole quarter of Paris...If in two minutes, mademoiselle, you have not turned the scorpion, I shall turn the grasshopper... and the grasshopper, I tell you, hops jolly high!" -Erik to Christine in the 'make your choice' moment. Chapter 25 around page 243
Um... that's a VERY persuasive argument to turn the scorpion eh? sweatdrop

And the voice, the voice which I had recognized under the mask, was on its knees before me, WAS A MAN! And I began to cry. ... The man, still kneeling, must have understood the cause of my tears, for he said, 'It is true, Christine!...I am not an Angel, nor a genius, nor a ghost...I am Erik!'
- G.L.
Yes, if I lived to be a hundred, I should always hear the superhuman cry of grief and rage which he uttered when the terrible sight appeared before my eyes....Raoul, you have seen death's heads, when they have been dried and withered by the centuries, and, perhaps, if you were not the victim of a nightmare, you saw HIS death's head at Perros. And then you saw Red Death stalking about at the last masked ball. But all those death's heads were motionless and their dumb horror was not alive. But imagine, if you can, Red Death's mask suddenly coming to life in order to express, with the four black holes of its eyes, its nose, and its mouth, the extreme anger, the mighty fury of a demon; AND NOT A RAY OF LIGHT FROM THE SOCKETS, for, as I learned later, you can not see his blazing eyes except in the dark.
"I fell back against the wall and he came up to me, grinding his teeth, and, as I fell upon my knees, he hissed mad, incoherent words and curses at me. Leaning over me, he cried, 'Look! You want to see! See! Feast your eyes, glut your soul on my cursed ugliness! Look at Erik's face! Now you know the face of the voice! You were not content to hear me, eh? You wanted to know what I looked like! Oh, you women are so inquisitive! Well, are you satisfied? I'm a very good-looking fellow, eh?...When a woman has seen me, as you have, she belongs to me. She loves me for ever. I am a kind of Don Juan, you know!' And, drawing himself up to his full height, with his hand on his hip, wagging the hideous thing that was his head on his shoulders, he roared, 'Look at me! I AM DON JUAN TRIUMPHANT!' And, when I turned away my head and begged for mercy, he drew it to him, brutally, twisting his dead fingers into my hair."
"Enough! Enough!" cried Raoul. "I will kill him. In Heaven's name, Christine, tell me where the dining-room on the lake is! I must kill him!"
"Oh, be quiet, Raoul, if you want to know!"
- G.L. (I just love the "Oh, be quite, Raoul, if you want to know!" That little statment, for some reason, has the characters seem more real to me. whee )
Past all thought of "if" or "when" -
no use resisting:
abandon thought, and let the dream descend...
- ALW, The Point of no Return
Down once more
to the dungeon
of my black despair!
Down we plunge
to the prison
of my mind!
Down that path
into darkness
deep as hell!
- ALW, Down Once More
Wishing you were somehow here again.
knowing we must say goodbye.
Try to forgive,
teach me to live,
give me the strength to try.
No more memories,
no more silent tears.
No more gazing across the wasted years...
Help me say goodbye...
- ALW, Wishing you Where Somehow Here

Hmmm....here's a few......
"All I want is freedom, a world with no more night, and you always beside me, to hold me and to hide me."
-ALW, 'All I Ask Of You'
"The angels wept to-night"
-Erik, The Phantom of the Opera
"But why is it secret, what have we to hide?"
-ALW, 'Masquerade'
"Angel, my soul was weak, forgive me, answer me now.....(( can't remember the rest))"
-ALW, 'Angel of Music'
"Monsieur, I bid you welcome, did you think that I would harm her?" -The Phantom from ALW.
(( I love this one too, Bubbles!))
It seems to me that I picked quotes that kind of describe me....weird.
