I cracked up when read this. It's from the Wide Window. I gave the book back to the library a while ago, so it's not exactly the same, but it's got the main parts:
------The Baudelaire orphans are stealing 'Captain Sham's boats------
Of course, you all know that stealing would not be a very nice thing to do, if you're in an art museum, and see a painting that you think would look better in your home, so you take it home and steal it. Though, it would be excusable if you were very poor, and had no food, so you took the painting, ran home, and ate it.

My favorite quotes are the ones in the front of the book that he writes to Beatrice. I especially love the one in Grim Grotto.

My favorite quotes are the one he makes out to Beatrice, my favorite of those is:
"My love flew like a butterfly
Until death swooped down like a bat.
As the poet Emma Montana McElroy once said:
'That's the end of that'"

[ddrfreek] Gah, there was an awesome quote in slippery slope that I could write down, but I can't remember it word for word. But it was something about refridgerators and large pointy sticks... The Slippery Slope A refridgerator may hold an icepack, for example, which would be important if you had been wounded. A refridgerator may hold a bottle of water, which would be important if you were dying of thirst. And a refridgerator may hold a basket of strawberries, which would be important if a maniac said to you, "If you don't give me a basket of strawberries right now, I'm going to poke you with this large stick."

Quote: It is very unnerving to be proven wrong, particularly when you are really right and the person who is really wrong is the one who is proving you wrong and proving himself, wrongly, right. Right?

That was it. Man, when I read that I couldn't stop laughing. I have that quote as my signature on another discussion board! I was all excited to run and copy it for you. But I was beaten to it. One of my personal favorites: " 'Optimist' is a word which here refers to a person, such as Phil, who thinks hopeful and pleasant thoughts about everything. For instance, if an optimist had his left arm chewed off by an alligator, he might say, in a pleasant and hopeful voice, 'Well, this isn't too bad. I don't have my left arm anymore, but at least nobody will ever ask me whether I am right-handed or left-handed,' but most of us would say something along the lines of 'Aaaaah! My arm! My arm!' "
