That's it then. Cancel the kitchen scraps for lepers and orphans, no more merciful beheadings, and call off Christmas. ~ Alan Rickman
Robin Hood quotes by Alan Rickman
A trained bus thrower like Gabriel, or Robin Hood wannabe like Scarlet, or a ninja assassin like Tristan ~ Chelsea Fine
Robin Hood quotes by Chelsea Fine
I'm no robin hood, I enjoy making the money. ~ Carl Icahn
Robin Hood quotes by Carl Icahn
There's an interesting mix to 'Robin Hood' because it's kind of modern but medieval. There is a blend of adventure with a very modern feel. ~ Joanne Froggatt
Robin Hood quotes by Joanne Froggatt
My agent asked if I fancied Robin Hood and I thought: 'Yeah, why not?' I hadn't watched it, to be honest, but I'd seen bits and knew it was really popular Saturday family viewing with heaps of action. I thought it would be great fun. I was up for a good old play-fighting and the scripts were terrifically exciting. ~ Joanne Froggatt
Robin Hood quotes by Joanne Froggatt
Robin: Golden arrow? And what would we do with a golden arrow? Give it to Alan for a lute string? I could hang it around my neck on a chain, perhaps, and let it stab me in the ribs when I tried to sit.
Marian: And your honour as an outlaw?
Robin: My honour as an outlaw concerns staying alive; and presenting my neck anywhere near the Sheriff of Notingham, who feels it wants lengthening, runs directly counter to that honour.
Marian: The sheriff will be gravely disappointed.
Robin: That's the best news I've heard all week. ~ Robin McKinley
Robin Hood quotes by Robin McKinley
Westerns. A period gone by, the pioneer, the loner operating by himself, without benefit of society. It usually has something to do with some sort of vengeance; he takes care of the vengeance himself, doesn't call the police. Like Robin Hood. It's the last masculine frontier. Romantic myth. I guess, though it's hard to think about anything romantic today. In a Western you can think, Jesus, there was a time when man was alone, on horseback, out there where man hasn't spoiled the land yet. ~ Clint Eastwood
Robin Hood quotes by Clint Eastwood
In true-life dramas, you have to do so much research. It's a big responsibility to make sure things are as correct as possible. In 'Robin Hood', you have more artistic license - it's all action, adventure and reaction. This gives everyone a chance to make their characters their own and to make them believable. ~ Joanne Froggatt
Robin Hood quotes by Joanne Froggatt
We are a race of tradition-lovers in a new land, of king-reverers in a Republic, of hero-worshipers in a society of mundane get-and-spend. It is a Country and a Time where any bank clerk or common laborer can become a famous outlaw, where an outlaw can in a very short time be sainted in song and story into a Robin Hood, where a Frontier Model Excalibur can be drawn from the block at any gunshop for twenty dollars. ~ Oakley Hall
Robin Hood quotes by Oakley Hall
Maid Marion, who said to Robin Hood, I will not live in a house with a Little John. Never got a dinner! ~ Red Buttons
Robin Hood quotes by Red Buttons
Lee Duffy was a man apart and someone who only comes around once in a lifetime, a total one off. There have been a lot of things written about him in the press and it's always been from the other side of the coin. There are always two sides to every story and Lee's family have never fully told us their side. They are very distrustful of the press after Lee was made out to be some kind of monster.
If Lee had been born and bred in London, he would have been an icon.
He was Robin Hood, Dick Turpin and Muhammad Ali rolled into one. ~ Stephen Richards
Robin Hood quotes by Stephen Richards
Everyone sniggered because I was going to do a sandal and toga movie. But I knew exactly how to do it and I know how to make Robin Hood. ~ Ridley Scott
Robin Hood quotes by Ridley Scott
Keep in mind that in the whole long tradition of storytelling, from Greek myths through Shakespeare through King Arthur and Robin Hood, this whole notion that you can't tell stories about certain characters because someone else owns them is a very modern one - and to my mind, a very strange one. ~ Michael Montoure
Robin Hood quotes by Michael Montoure
Souls of poets dead and gone,
What Elysium have ye known,
Happy field or mossy cavern,
Choicer than the Mermaid Tavern?
Have ye tippled drink more fine
Than mine host's Canary wine?"
Sweeter than those dainty pies
Of venison? O generous food!
Drest though bold Robin Hood
Would, wit his maid Marian,
Sup and bowse from horn and can
"I have heard that on a day
Mine host's sign-board flew away,
Nobody knew whither, till
An astrologer's old quill
To a sheepskin gave the story,
Said he saw you in your glory,
Underneath a new old sign
Sipping beverage divine,
And pledging with contented smack
The Mermaid in the Zodiac. ~ John Keats
Robin Hood quotes by John Keats
I was proud of 'Robin Hood,' even though critics wrote negative things. But I had to laugh when this big, shaven-headed Hungarian stunt guy first saw me. He said, 'You Jonas? You playing Robin Hood? You need to go to the gym today.' So I thought, 'I'm going to show people.' ~ Jonas Armstrong
Robin Hood quotes by Jonas Armstrong
The mycorrhizae may form fungal bridges between individual trees, so that all the trees in a forest are connected. These fungal networks appear to redistribute the wealth of carbohydrates from tree to tree. A kind of Robin Hood, they take from the rich and give to the poor so that all the trees arrive at the same carbon surplus at the same time. They weave a
web of reciprocity, of giving and taking. In this way, the trees all act as one because the fungi have connected them. Through unity, survival.
All flourishing is mutual. Soil, fungus, tree, squirrel, boy - all are the beneficiaries of reciprocity. ~ Robin Wall Kimmerer
Robin Hood quotes by Robin Wall Kimmerer
Did they like being maids & butlers? Before you answer this consider everything you've ever read about English history after Robin Hood and before he Who. Your choices were: serving, being served, being killed by Jack the Ripper. So, the employee class made the best of it and got with the program. It was indoor work, after all. And as a wise man once observed, "You're gonna hafta serve somebody." (Bob Dylan, C. 1497-1580). And it beat mining. ~ Chris Kelly
Robin Hood quotes by Chris Kelly
It doth make a man better,' quoth Robin Hood, 'to bear of those noble men so long ago. When one doth list to such tales, his soul doth say, 'put by thy poor little likings and seek to do likewise.' Truly, one may not do as nobly one's self, but in the striving one is better ... ~ Howard Pyle
Robin Hood quotes by Howard Pyle
Adventures of Robin Hood, The Sea Hawk, ~ Cary Elwes
Robin Hood quotes by Cary Elwes
When I played Robin Hood, I knew the great role was Alan Rickman's and it didn't bother me. I always think that leading actors should be called the best supporting actors. ~ Kevin Costner
Robin Hood quotes by Kevin Costner
Because we always have a choice, even when it feels like we don't. ~ A.C. Gaughen
Robin Hood quotes by A.C. Gaughen
You saved me, again." I glanced around, thankful no one was around or they would have been staring. I felt so stupid in his arms. Small, weak, and klutzy.
The side of Brett's mouth quirked as his brows pulled together. "Again?"
"Last night," I murmured, looking back at him as he set me down beside him. "You're like a knight - always there when I need you."
"I'm no knight, Colt. Far from it - you know that."
"Robin Hood, then."
He chuckled. ~ Shaye Evans
Robin Hood quotes by Shaye Evans
Inflation is not a Robin Hood, taking from the rich to give to the poor. Rather, it deals most cruelly with those who can least protect themselves. It strikes hardest those millions of our citizens whose incomes do not quickly rise with the cost of living. When prices soar, the pensioner and the widow see their security undermined, the man of thrift sees his savings melt away; the white collar worker, the minister, and the teacher see their standards of living dragged down. ~ Dwight D. Eisenhower
Robin Hood quotes by Dwight D. Eisenhower
Doctor: 'I am not a hero.
Robin Hood: 'Well, neither am I, but if we both keep pretending to be, perhaps others will be heroes in our name. Perhaps we will both be stories and may those stories never end. ~ Mark Gatiss
Robin Hood quotes by Mark Gatiss
Our greatest enemy can often be found within. ~ Renee Ahdieh
Robin Hood quotes by Renee Ahdieh
IN MERRY ENGLAND in the time of old, when good King Henry the Second ruled the land, there lived within the green glades of Sherwood Forest, near Nottingham Town, a famous outlaw whose name was Robin Hood. ~ Howard Pyle
Robin Hood quotes by Howard Pyle
It wasn't Sherwood Forest he haunted, it was Marian. She carried him in her thoughts and she would carry out his will with her own hands. ~ Meagan Spooner
Robin Hood quotes by Meagan Spooner
Sadly, this is the same old Republican story of Robin Hood in reverse - tax cuts for the rich while programs for average and low income Americans suffer. ~ Jose Serrano
Robin Hood quotes by Jose Serrano
Robin Hood was also a terrorist ― but he had some style and a little class. ~ Wilbur Smith
Robin Hood quotes by Wilbur Smith
Don't be silly," she said. "I don't want us to chase people with scissors. And I don't want us to bite them. That's assault. All I want to do is steal their stuff."
There was a pause.
"Comparatively, its legal," Kami said defensively.
"Stealing in the name of justice is okay," Jared put in. "We'd be like Robin Hood. Steal from the rich, punch them in the face. I'm pretty sure that's how the saying goes. ~ Sarah Rees Brennan
Robin Hood quotes by Sarah Rees Brennan
My friend is composing an epic in Byronic stanzas entitled "True History of Autua, Last Moriori" & interrupts my journal writing to ask what rhymes with what: - "Streams of blood"? "Themes of mud"? "Robin Hood"? ~ David Mitchell
Robin Hood quotes by David Mitchell
This is Robin Hood in reverse. These tax cap proposals favor those with the most expensive properties. We are spreading the taxes to those with some of the least expensive property. ~ Clementa C. Pinckney
Robin Hood quotes by Clementa C. Pinckney
Up rose Robin Hood ~ Howard Pyle
Robin Hood quotes by Howard Pyle
Jonathon stretched his arms, like he was reading himself for exercise. He leaned back and asked, "Why are you doing this?"
Robin was a bit surprised by the blunt question. "Doing what? Laying here, strapped to this table? I'll be honest, I've asked myself the same question. ~ Jaron Lee Knuth
Robin Hood quotes by Jaron Lee Knuth
Fat," the mechanic says, "liposuctioned fat sucked out of the richest thighs in America. The richest, fattest thighs in the world." Our goal is the big red bags of liposuctioned fat we'll haul back to Paper Street and render and mix with lye and rosemary and sell back to the very people who paid to have it sucked out. At twenty bucks a bar, these are the only folks who can afford it. "The richest, creamiest fat in the world, the fat of the land," he says. "That makes tonight a kind of Robin Hood thing. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
Robin Hood quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
Once I discovered Robin Hood and the medieval poem "Sir Gawain and the Green Knight," I realized that I felt a very deep calling to the Wild forest, the deep forest, the Wood that holds the Deep Mysteries and where the Wild Hunt is run.... ~ Virginia Chandler
Robin Hood quotes by Virginia Chandler
Here have I come to die,' he said, 'and where else could I ask to die but in your arms? ~ Roger Lancelyn Green
Robin Hood quotes by Roger Lancelyn Green
A personal game-changer was when Ridley Scott cast me as King John, the King of England, for 'Robin Hood.' ~ Oscar Isaac
Robin Hood quotes by Oscar Isaac
Because the law will never be just. Perhaps it can come close - so close the line is hard to see. But laws are written by men, who are imperfect by nature, and justice belongs to something beyond the power of men. ~ Meagan Spooner
Robin Hood quotes by Meagan Spooner
Guy of Gisborne: "I understand the king is winning, thanks be to God."

Robin Hood: "He's killing more people."

Gisborne: "Is that not winning?"

Robin: "Show me an argument ever settled with bloodshed, and then I'll call it winning. ~ BBC Robin Hood
Robin Hood quotes by BBC Robin Hood
Plain white T-shirts do it for me every time. You can spend anything from £3 to £50 on a T-shirt, but I've bought some great ones from H&M, as well as shelling out on Duffer Of St George and a Polish label I discovered while filming 'Robin Hood' in Hungary called Scotch And Soda. ~ Jonas Armstrong
Robin Hood quotes by Jonas Armstrong
Robin Hood is often seen as the hands-on-hips, archetypal, tally-ho hero. But, realistically, the one calling the shots wouldn't be at the front shouting about it. He'd be the one you don't expect. ~ Jonas Armstrong
Robin Hood quotes by Jonas Armstrong
What America needs is not Robin Hood but Adam Smith. ~ Rand Paul
Robin Hood quotes by Rand Paul
Jesse [James]was known as a kind of Robin Hood character and also it was known that his exploits were somewhat dubious - however, he perpetuated this myth. Our film [The Assassination of Jesse James ] really takes place at the end of all that, the last year of his life, at the end of all that celebrity. ~ Brad Pitt
Robin Hood quotes by Brad Pitt
The more important point, however, is not about what the money does. It's about what has to be done to get the money. The effect of the money might be (democratically) benign. But what is done to secure that money is not necessarily benign. To miss this point is to betray the Robin Hood fallacy: the fact that the loot was distributed justly doesn't excuse the means taken to secure it. ~ Lawrence Lessig
Robin Hood quotes by Lawrence Lessig
I loved Laurel and Hardy and TV shows like 'Robin Hood' and 'Rama of the Jungle'. ~ Stephen Lang
Robin Hood quotes by Stephen Lang
It's not really fun listening to an insane person. Do you realize that? You're only entertaining yourself. Not much of a host, if you don't mind my critique. ~ Jaron Lee Knuth
Robin Hood quotes by Jaron Lee Knuth
As for righting wrongs and fighting for civil liberties, that sort of thing, it wouldn't be so bad ... but then we have to sing those songs about wearing Lincoln green and aiding the oppressed. We don't, Cully, we turn them in for the reward, and those songs are just embarrassing, that's all, and there's the truth of it. ~ Peter S. Beagle
Robin Hood quotes by Peter S. Beagle
Woody Allen stayed so good because he never left New York. Howard Stern stayed so good because he never left New York - Mel Brooks when he just got out of New York was doing 'Blazing Saddles;' when he left New York he started doing stuff like 'Robin Hood Men In Tights' - he was in L.A. too long. He lost the edge. ~ Artie Lange
Robin Hood quotes by Artie Lange
Robin Hood and the Merry Men gathered around the mural of Robin Hood. The resemblance between the real Merry Men and the painted Merry Men was striking; however, Robin Hood was depicted very effeminately in the painting. He wore bright green tights and had a short curly bob and no facial hair.
"I DON'T UNDERSTAND," Robin Hood said. "WHAT IS MY MOTHER DOING IN THIS PAINTING? ~ Chris Colfer
Robin Hood quotes by Chris Colfer
Trying to please everyone can be very hard, but, like 'Shrek' or 'The Simpsons,' 'Robin Hood' manages to entertain adults and children at the same time, but in different ways. ~ Richard C. Armitage
Robin Hood quotes by Richard C. Armitage
I may lie every day of my life, Hattori Mariko. But my heart will always be true. ~ Renee Ahdieh
Robin Hood quotes by Renee Ahdieh
Say my name,' he pleaded. 'Just tell me who I am.' 'Gamelyn,' it was soft as swan down ~ J. Tullos Hennig
Robin Hood quotes by J. Tullos Hennig
John Kerry had a very vivid imagination as a young person. I mean, he actually did go and take his bicycle from Norway to go camp in Sherwood Forest to be around the ghost of Robin Hood. ~ Douglas Brinkley
Robin Hood quotes by Douglas Brinkley
Interesting how some words that hold basically the same meaning can have different connotations. Take 'outlaw' and 'criminal' for instance.
'Outlaw' has an almost romantic, nostalgic meaning – you tend to think of Jesse James or Robin Hood when you think of outlaws. Billy the Kid has been described as both a 'notorious outlaw' and a 'beloved folk hero.'
'Criminal' however has a completely different connotation. We think of muggers, burglars, armed robbers etc.
Nobody really wants to have a 'criminal' in their family tree, but the idea of having 'outlaw blood' is exciting and glamorous ~ Karl Wiggins
Robin Hood quotes by Karl Wiggins
History is a burden, it is stories that make us fly. ~ Doctor Who
Robin Hood quotes by Doctor Who
I used to write my own versions of famous tales, such as William Tell or Robin Hood, and illustrate them myself, too. When I entered my teens, I got more into horror and science fiction and wrote a lot of short stories. A literary education complicated things and for many years I wrote nothing but poetry. Then I got back to story-telling. ~ Peter Robinson
Robin Hood quotes by Peter Robinson
Take thy bow in hand," said Robin,
"For Much will ride with thee,
And all can be together,
If no man die for me. ~ Nathan Makaryk
Robin Hood quotes by Nathan Makaryk
Robin Hood: Ah, but remember faint hearts never won fair lady. ~ Walt Disney Company
Robin Hood quotes by Walt Disney Company
Like Robin Hood....Not real, but true. ~ Janette Rallison
Robin Hood quotes by Janette Rallison
The Sherwood Forest Chronicles
.
1. If Robin Hood steals from the rich, doesn't that make them poor? Does he give them their money back? I mean, what the point of robbing to begin with if your mission statement is logically flawed?
2. If the Sheriff of Nottingham is such an asshole, why isn't he the Prime Minister of Nottingham?
3. Why don't I see elves here? Did all the elves of Sherwood Forest migrate to New Zealand to become extras on the Peter Jackson's Hobbit films?
4. Does Little John even know what an oxymoron is?
5. If Smokey the Bear came to Sherwood Forest to make a public service announcement about preventing forest fires, would he leave with arrows in his ass or would the Merry Men feast on bear meat for several days? And what makes the Merry Men merry in the first place?
6. What do you think? Does Robin Hood shop at Walmart or Target? ~ Beryl Dov
Robin Hood quotes by Beryl Dov
Why do you always call me by my full name?"
"I don't know. I guess that's how I think of you in my head."
"Oh, so you're saying you think about me a lot?"
I laugh. "No, I'm saying that when I think about you, which isn't very often, that's how I think of you. On the first day of school, I always have to explain to teachers that Lara Jean is my first name and not just Lara. And then, do you remember how Mr. Chudney started calling you John Ambrose because of that? 'Mr. John Ambrose.'"
In a fake hoity-toity English accent, John says, "Mr. John Ambrose McClaren the Third, madam."
I giggle. I've never met a third before. "Are you really?"
"Yeah. It's annoying. My dad's a junior, so he's JJ, but my extended family still calls me Little John." He grimaces. "I'd much rather be John Ambrose than Little John. Sounds like a rapper or that guy from Robin Hood."
"Your family's so fancy." I only ever saw John's mom when she was picking him up. She looked younger than the other mothers, she had John's same milky skin, and her hair was longer than the other moms', straw-colored.
"No. My family isn't fancy at all. My mom made Jell-O salad last night for dessert. And, like, my dad only has steak cooked well-done. We only ever take vacations we can drive to. ~ Jenny Han
Robin Hood quotes by Jenny Han
A vigilante masquarading as Robin Hood? Or jus a talented thief with a taste fot the absurd? ~ Tiffany Snow
Robin Hood quotes by Tiffany Snow
Captain Blood, Robin Hood, Don Juan -Flynn had played them all. Sometimes if the mood struck him, he'd even played them well. ~ Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Robin Hood quotes by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
Robin Hood just called, he wants Sherwood Forest back. ~ Heather Vogel Frederick
Robin Hood quotes by Heather Vogel Frederick
I'm like Robin Hood. I rob the rich to make these projects come alive ... not really rob. It's done with a smile. ~ Imelda Marcos
Robin Hood quotes by Imelda Marcos
Interestingly, this character [Doctor Nash] is probably closer to me than somebody like the evil Sir Godfrey in Robin Hood or Lord Blackwood who wants to take over the world in Sherlock Holmes. This is a character that's English, he's based in London, and so it's closer to me than a lot of stuff I've been doing recently. ~ Mark Strong
Robin Hood quotes by Mark Strong
IN A WORLD WHERE THE WEAK ARE PREYED UPON... crime goes unpunished and evil runs rampant in the streets, who will stand up to chaos and fight for justice? There is only one: an outlaw biker with dead set principles and dangerous methods that get the job done. Asking nothing in return, he sets out for war in the name of the people, regardless of creed or colour. These are the stories of an outlaw about to douse the criminal world in gasoline and strike the match. He's a one man wrecking ball...today's Robin Hood, protector of the people. ~ Ryan Wickham
Robin Hood quotes by Ryan Wickham
Robin Hood. To a Friend.

No! those days are gone away,
And their hours are old and gray,
And their minutes buried all
Under the down-trodden pall
Ofthe leaves of many years:
Many times have winter's shears,
Frozen North, and chilling East,
Sounded tempests to the feast
Of the forest's whispering fleeces,
Since men knew nor rent nor leases.

No, the bugle sounds no more,
And the twanging bow no more;
Silent is the ivory shrill
Past the heath and up the hill;
There is no mid-forest laugh,
Where lone Echo gives the half
To some wight, amaz'd to hear
Jesting, deep in forest drear.

On the fairest time of June
You may go, with sun or moon,
Or the seven stars to light you,
Or the polar ray to right you;
But you never may behold
Little John, or Robin bold;
Never one, of all the clan,
Thrumming on an empty can
Some old hunting ditty, while
He doth his green way beguile
To fair hostess Merriment,
Down beside the pasture Trent;
For he left the merry tale,
Messenger for spicy ale.

Gone, the merry morris din;
Gone, the song of Gamelyn;
Gone, the tough-belted outlaw
Idling in the "grene shawe";
All are gone away and past!
And if Robin should be cast
Sudden from his turfed grave,
And if Marian should have
Once again her forest days,
She would weep, and he wou ~ John Keats
Robin Hood quotes by John Keats
There is no more compassionate and effective way to help poor people in New York City than to give to Robin Hood. ~ Paul Tudor Jones
Robin Hood quotes by Paul Tudor Jones
Underneath this little stone
Lies Robert Earl of Huntington;
No other archer was so good -
And people called him Robin Hood.
Such outlaws as he and his men
Will England never see again. ~ Roger Lancelyn Green
Robin Hood quotes by Roger Lancelyn Green
Seemingly on a whim, he put his hands on my shoulders, leaned forward, and kissed me too. The pressure of his lips on mine made my heart skid helplessly inside my chest. I shut my eyes and kissed him back ...
I stepped away from him taking a deep breath to clear my mind. "Okay, just because I might at some point have your baby, it doesn't mean you can kiss me whenever you want."
He smiled, self-satisfied ... "Here's another thing you need to learn about women, Stets. They might pretend to like the bad-boy Robin Hood types, but they can't resist hick-town boys. ~ Janette Rallison
Robin Hood quotes by Janette Rallison
Goldie?" Jack asked. "What is it?"
"Jack, my water just broke," Goldilocks said. "I'm going into labor!"
All the characters glanced at one another in panic. This was such an anticipated moment, but no one was prepared for it. They were characters from children's stories - none of them knew how to deliver a baby!
"Quick! We need scissors, boiling water, and recycled paper!" Red shouted. "Or is that for papier-mâché?"
Trollbella covered her eyes. "Keep it inside while I'm in the room!" she said. "I don't want to see a baby come out of you.!"
"CALL THE MIDWIFE AND WET NURSE!" Robin Hood yelled. "BUT DON'T TELL THEM I SENT YOU! ~ Chris Colfer
Robin Hood quotes by Chris Colfer
If you outlaw half a million people you make martyrs of them. For example, if you outlaw Robin Hood, it is all very well, but if you outlaw a whole group of people around Robin Hood, then Robin Hood and his merry men become legends. ~ Baldur Von Schirach
Robin Hood quotes by Baldur Von Schirach
He takes the guilt and responsibility that others can't. John takes the punches. I just take the hunger, and most times it feels like awful little. ~ A.C. Gaughen
Robin Hood quotes by A.C. Gaughen
This Hollywood ain't no good, I would rather be like Robin Hood. ~ Van Morrison
Robin Hood quotes by Van Morrison
It made me realise just how desperate the world is for a superhero. I don't just mean those of the comic books. For there is an inexhaustible supply of would-be superheroes throughout history and across the globe. From the legends of King Arthur and Robin Hood, to the Gods of a thousand religions. From Santa Claus to Peter Pan to a myriad other folklore characters. Monsters from the Lochs. Spirits from the other side. Aliens from distant planets. The world longs for something ... something else. Something powerful and exciting. A little bit of magic. ~ Paul J. Newell
Robin Hood quotes by Paul J. Newell
I was mischievous. I wasn't bad. I stole food so we could eat. My mother didn't know. I used to tell her some man gave me $10 to sweep out the yard. I was like Robin Hood. I took from the rich and gave to the poor. Me. ~ Mr. T
Robin Hood quotes by Mr. T
We don't steal from the rich and give to the poor. We steal from the poor because they can't fight back
most of them
and the rich take from us because they could wipe us out in a day. ~ Peter S. Beagle
Robin Hood quotes by Peter S. Beagle
When we're strong enough," said Sam, "will you come with me?"
"Where? To Bucko Palace?"
"Yes. To find Ella."
"Course I will," said the Kid, and he put an arm around Sam. "It'll be a new grand adventure of the old school. They'll write books about us. Long books. Nothing's gonna split us up, small fry. We're a team. Like Batman and Robin Hood."
And he sang.
"Ner-ner-ner-ner-ner-ner-ner-ner-Batman! ~ Charlie Higson
Robin Hood quotes by Charlie Higson
I'm certainly not a Robin Hood, I'm not that way. I don't want to come through, burn everybody for $200 a ticket and then they can't afford to come see me again. Plus, I just don't think it's right. I don't think we need that much money. I just do what seems like the logical thing to do. ~ Tom Petty
Robin Hood quotes by Tom Petty
The soft, fluttering cry of a barn owl rose over the churchyard. Silent men flowed out of the dark. ~ Parke Godwin
Robin Hood quotes by Parke Godwin
Well, bugger me," cried Jonas when he saw Richie with his bow, "is it Robin Hood or Adam Bell come to save us? Nay, it's Richie O'the Bow, hero of ballad and song! ~ David Pilling
Robin Hood quotes by David Pilling
For man may pious texts repeat, And yet religion have no inward seat ~ Thomas Hood
Robin Hood quotes by Thomas Hood
Couldn't stand that she saw right through what I did to her - the shame I felt when she didn't cry or shout and I figured out I'd been trying to trick her into changing her mind about me because I couldn't just tell her the truth. I loved her. Every day, every hour, every single fucking awful minute, I loved her. ~ Robin York
Robin Hood quotes by Robin York
My brother! Nighteyes greeted me joyously. ~ Robin Hobb
Robin Hood quotes by Robin Hobb
I'd always had a guilty preference for fiction. Since I seemed now to be living fiction, this proved to have been an entirely reasonable choice. ~ Robin McKinley
Robin Hood quotes by Robin McKinley
You make no sense! You went somewhere to discover your place in history? How can that be? History is what is done and behind us."
He shook his head, slowly this time. "History is what we do in our lives. We create it as we go along." He smiled enigmatically. "The future is another kind of history. ~ Robin Hobb
Robin Hood quotes by Robin Hobb
Life really is nothing more than a journey back home. ~ Robin S. Sharma
Robin Hood quotes by Robin S. Sharma
I'd rather do 'She's So Lovely' that John Cassavetes wrote versus doing 'Batman.' ~ Robin Wright
Robin Hood quotes by Robin Wright
I love you, Sid. You're my home. The person I want to share every day with starting right now ~ Robin Bielman
Robin Hood quotes by Robin Bielman
Nothing lasts long. We all come to life and gather allies and build empires and die, all in a single moment - maybe a single pulse of some giant processor somewhere. ~ Robin Sloan
Robin Hood quotes by Robin Sloan
It doesn't matter what other people say about you. What is important is what you say to yourself. Do not be concerned with the judgement of others as long as you know what you are doing is according to conscience and you heart. Never be ashamed of doing that which is right; decide on what you think is good and then stick to it. ~ Robin S. Sharma
Robin Hood quotes by Robin S. Sharma
Getting the poison to them is more difficult than it should be. I cannot just slip it into their food, they eat with the rest of the household, and as much as I dislike everyone here, I am not willing to poison them all. At least not yet. ~ Robin LaFevers
Robin Hood quotes by Robin LaFevers
Read the right books. Learn how those who have preceded you have handled the challenges you are currently facing. ~ Robin S. Sharma
Robin Hood quotes by Robin S. Sharma
I went to bed wearing my oldest, most faded flannel shirt, the bra that had looked all right in the catalog but was obviously an escapee from a downmarket nursing home when it arrived, white cotton panties that had had pansies on them about seven hundred washings ago and were now a kind of mottled gray, and the jeans I usually wore for housecleaning or raking Yolande's garden because they were too shabby for work even if I never came out of the bakery. Food inspector arrest-on-sight jeans. Oh, and fuzzy green plaid socks. It was a cool night for summer. Relatively. I lay down on top of the bedspread. And slept through till the alarm at three-forty-five. He hadn't come. T ~ Robin McKinley
Robin Hood quotes by Robin McKinley
The Pavilion did not burn by lightening," she said.
He hesitated again. "It holds the memory of fire," he said at last. "Lightening is young and strong and thoughtless, but it could also wish to visit the site of some particular victory of one of its kind
as a young soldier recently commissioned might visit the scene of some great battle
~ Robin McKinley
Robin Hood quotes by Robin McKinley
I was drafted when I was 17, and I spent two years, and I lost a friend in war. ~ Gavin Hood
Robin Hood quotes by Gavin Hood
I'm always made a little uncomfortable by studies that assert that Millennials are the most narcissistic generation in history. To me, being young has always meant being self-absorbed; in many ways, that's what youth is for. ~ Robin Marantz Henig
Robin Hood quotes by Robin Marantz Henig
All great thinkers are initially ridiculed – and eventually revered. ~ Robin S. Sharma
Robin Hood quotes by Robin S. Sharma
