In 'The Hunger Games' by Suzanne Collins, there could be quotes where the characters are sweating due to the intense situations like during the Games. For example, 'My palms were sweating as I gripped the bow, the heat of the arena bearing down on me.' Another example might be from a detective novel. Say in a noir detective story, the detective might say, 'The sweat on my brow was the only sign of the unease I felt as I entered the dark alley, not knowing what awaited me.'
They also add to the realism of the story. People sweat in real life when they are exerting themselves or are under stress. So, in a novel, when a character sweats during a fight or while making a difficult decision, it makes the character more believable. In a historical novel set in a hot climate, characters sweating because of the weather makes the setting feel more authentic. Moreover, sweat quotes can be used to show a character's emotional state. A character sweating during a romantic encounter might indicate nervousness or excitement.
One example could be from 'Pride and Prejudice' by Jane Austen. Mr. Bennet says, 'You mistake me, my dear. I have a high respect for your nerves. They are my old friends. I have heard you mention them with consideration these last twenty years at least.' His sarcasm is evident as he is actually mocking his wife's constant complaints about her 'nerves'.
Some incorrect quotes in Avengers fanfiction might be related to Hulk. For example, instead of 'Hulk smash!', it could be written as 'Hulk play gently' which is completely against the nature of the character. And for Hawkeye, his 'I'm just trying to keep the neighborhood friendly' could be misquoted as 'I'm trying to make the neighborhood dangerous' which is a wrong representation of his character's intentions.
One example is 'To be, or not to be: that is the question' from Shakespeare's Hamlet. This quote tells the story of Hamlet's internal struggle, his doubts and his contemplation of life and death. It gives a glimpse into the complex character and the overall tragic story of the play.
One common quote on evil in fantasy novels could be 'Evil is not born, it is made.' This shows that in many fantasy worlds, characters are not inherently evil but are shaped by their circumstances. For example, in 'The Lord of the Rings', Gollum was once a normal hobbit - like creature called Sméagol. But the power of the One Ring corrupted him over time, making him evil. This quote emphasizes the idea that external forces can turn a being towards the dark side.
Charles Dickens in 'Great Expectations' has some good satire. The character of Miss Havisham, with her decaying mansion and her warped view of love, is satirized through quotes like 'I'll tell you what real love is. It is blind devotion, unquestioning self - humiliation, utter submission, trust and belief against yourself and against the whole world, giving up your whole heart and soul to the smiter - as I did!' This satirizes the extreme and often self - destructive nature of some forms of love and the delusions that can come with it.
In 'To Kill a Mockingbird' by Harper Lee, there's the quote 'You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view... until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.' This shows the importance of empathy, which is a major theme in the novel. Scout, the main character, learns this lesson throughout the story as she grows up in a racially divided society.
A quote like 'The only limit to our realization of tomorrow will be our doubts of today' by Franklin D. Roosevelt can be great for a story about overcoming self - doubt. Another one is 'In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: it goes on.' by Robert Frost, which could be used in a story that deals with loss and moving forward.
One example could be a woman who lied about her past relationships but then quotes a true story about how she learned from her mistakes in those relationships. Maybe she lied initially to protect her feelings or the feelings of others involved. Another instance could be a woman in a courtroom who had previously lied but then quotes a true story of redemption to show the judge that she has changed. For example, she might have lied about her whereabouts in a criminal case, but later tells a true story of how she has turned her life around and is now a productive member of society.
From '1984' by George Orwell, 'Big Brother is watching you.' This simple yet powerful quote encapsulates the overarching theme of a totalitarian regime and constant surveillance in the dystopian world of the novel. It has become a well - known phrase symbolizing a lack of privacy.
