OT: I'm looking for Elric quotes...

[Arravis]

I know this is likely to be fruitless, but utside of the books themselves, anyone know of any websites out there that have memorable quotes from the Elric books by Michael Moorcock? Thanks for the help guys .

 

[Voadam]

"Blood and souls for Arioch!"

That's it off the top of my head, but I've heard it used as a battle cry in a D&D setting.

 

[King_Stannis]

"My only wish is that the world forgets me"....something like that. It's one of my favorites.

 

[WanderingMonster]

"Crap on a stick!"



Oh.

Wait.

That's an Eric quote.

Nevermind.

 

[Wolf72]

"Crap on a stick!"



Oh.

Wait.

That's an Eric quote.

Nevermind.

ooooooh! next on celebrity death match! Elric v. Eric ... I'll put 30 coppers on Eric

 

[Tsyr]

Actualy, the full quote is "Arioch! Arioch! Blood and Souls for my Lord Arioch!"

Used to have that for my sig line...

EDIT: Here are some quotations from old signatures of mine:

"Farewell, friend. I was a thousand times more evil than thou."
- Michael Moorcock, _Stormbringer_

From somewhere within him all the longing he had known, all the sadness
and the grief and the loneliness, all his aspirations and dreams, his times of intense happiness, his loves and his hatreds, his affections and his dislikes, all were voices in the same music which issued from his throat, as if his whole being had been concentrated into this single song. It was a victory and a plea. It was a celebration and an agony. It was nothing more nor less then the song of a single, lonely individual in an uncertain world, the song of a troubled intellect and a generous heart. And most of all, it was a song of love, of yearning idealism and desperate sadness for the fate of the world.
---Michael Moorcock, "The Black Blade's Summoning"

Literacy is our most valuable gift, the source of memory and enduring myth; the wellspring of all we now call civilized and the means by which we pool our commonwise. Communicating thus from Past to Present we improve our understanding of the world and our multiverse.
--- Michael Moorcock, _Blood: A Southern Fantasy_

That last one's strictly not Elric, but I couldn't resist ;->

 

[Aeris Winterood]

"Farewell, friend. I was a thousand times more evil than thou."
- Michael Moorcock, _Stormbringer_

Actualy, this is not an Elric quote... but Stormbringer speaking to Elric.....

 

[Kevin O'Reilly]

"Drink your fill hellblade... We have earned it you and I"... The Stealer of Souls

"I have chosen. I chose Chaos" ... The Sleeping Sorcerous

"It is fitting that we should be wanderers, for we have no place in this world." ... Stormbringer

"Farewell, friend. I was a thousand times more evil than thou."

Well, for that matter, none of the quotations I listed were uttered by Elric. I thought that Arravis was seeking

memorable quotes from the Elric books by Michael Moorcock

I hadn't realized that meant only quotation uttered by Elric himself
