Quote you liked from a book you’ve read
going to be differnt from my join request, because I can and because I now have room to do a really long favorite quote/moment from a book series I love:
..."This facility deals in the sale of human organs." "You are young and fit. I will be able to sell your kidney for a quarter of a million dollars. And the operation won't even kill you. You will live through it, and after that we'll be able to come back, perhaps, for your eyes. Your eyes will sell for fifty thousand dollars each, leaving you blind but otherwise in good health. You can live with out your pancreas. It will make me a further one hundred thousand dollars. While you are recovering from each operation, I will drain off your blood cells and your plasma. They will be kept frozen and sold at five hundred dollars a pint. And finally of course there is your heart. The heart of a young healthy boy could fetch up to a million dollars more. Do you see, Alex? Shooting you does me no good at all. But keeping you alive is good for business, and you might even get some satisfaction in knowing, when you do finally die, that you have restored the health of quite a few people around the world."
-- From Snakehead, of the Alex Rider Series by Anthony Horowitz. One of the more scary villian monologues I've had to read, and it still gives me chills.
