No child has ever been kidnapped from Disneyland. This is one of many Disneyland urban legends that don't have a basis in fact. The kidnap stories-- urban legends. ~ Leslie Le Mon
Urban Legends quotes by Leslie Le Mon
I'm going to check the world's best source for spawning new urban legends, the Internet. What, you thought I couldn't even type? The Web is just another threshold between one world and another. ~ Nalo Hopkinson
Urban Legends quotes by Nalo Hopkinson
His face was a ghost story: graveyard eyes, cheekbones as sharp as urban legends, a sealed-coffin mouth. ~ Allyse Near
Urban Legends quotes by Allyse Near
Look, this is all very, very weird. Why are you focusing on rumours and urban legends? You haven't even asked me any
normal questions."
"Normal questions? Like what?"
"Like, I don't know, like if Lynch had any enemies."
"Did Lynch have any enemies?"
"Well, not that I know of, no."
"Then there really was no point in me asking that, was there? Unless you wanted to distract me. You didn't want to distract me, did you, Kenny?"
"No, that's not - "
"Are you playing a game with me, Kenny?"
"I don't know what you're - "
Inspector Me leaned forward. "Did you kill him?"
"No!"
"It'd be OK if you did."
Kenny recoiled, horrified. "How would that be OK?"
"Well," Me said, "maybe not ~ Derek Landy
Urban Legends quotes by Derek Landy
'American Horror' goes for a very specific kind of Seventies suburban downer ambience - 'Flowers in the Attic' paperbacks, Black Sabbath album covers and late-night flicks like 'Let's Scare Jessica to Death.' It even has 'Go Ask Alice'-era urban legends. ~ Rob Sheffield
Urban Legends quotes by Rob Sheffield
They say when you meet somebody that looks just like you, you die. ~ P. Wish
Urban Legends quotes by P. Wish
We tell stories of the dead as a way of making a sense of the living. More than just simple urban legends and campfire tales, ghost stories reveal the contours of our anxieties, the nature of our collective fears and desires, the things we can't talk about in any other way. The past we're most afraid to speak aloud of in the bright light of day is the same past that tends to linger in the ghost stories we whisper in the dark. ~ Colin Dickey
Urban Legends quotes by Colin Dickey
[American Ice Cream]
In America,there are ice cream trucks patrolling neighborhoods all the time. Even without going to the store, customers can score a variety of flavors in bright reds, blues, and beyond, As if that's not enough, the calorie-starved consumer can even buy massive buckets if ice cream, There legendary super-sized portions are NOT urban legends. ~ Hidekaz Himaruya
Urban Legends quotes by Hidekaz Himaruya
It's okay to be afraid, Jo. It's what keeps us alive. But falling to that fear is what will get you killed. ~ Brandy Nacole
Urban Legends quotes by Brandy Nacole
The explosions, like the urban legends, are a great way of bringing people in to watch, because it's really fun, and you know we're always going to give you a satisfying ending. ~ Adam Savage
Urban Legends quotes by Adam Savage
Forget morality tales and all the fury and mire of human complexity, and follow the money. It will lead you through urban legends about sex and revenge and jealousy and the acquisition of power over others, but ultimately, it will lead you to the issue from which all the other motivations derive - money, piles of it, green and lovely and cascading like leaves out of a beneficent sky, money and money and money, the one item that human beings will go to any lengths to acquire. ~ James Lee Burke
Urban Legends quotes by James Lee Burke
I don't necessarily think stories have functions any more than diamonds have functions, or the sky has a function ... Stories exist. They keep us sane, I think. We tell each other stories, we believe stories. I love watching the slow rise of the urban legend. They're the stories that we use to explain ourselves to ourselves. ~ Neil Gaiman
Urban Legends quotes by Neil Gaiman
The fact that ghosts are real doesn't surprise me-I've always been a believer in that area. It's the realization that there may be something out there, something most can't see, that is able to kill. ~ Brandy Nacole
Urban Legends quotes by Brandy Nacole
I've had a lifelong obsession with urban legends and American folklore. ~ Eric Kripke
Urban Legends quotes by Eric Kripke
The seed of an urban legend find fertile soil at the corner of tragedy and imagination. ~ Thomm Quackenbush
Urban Legends quotes by Thomm Quackenbush
Rumors had their own classic epidemiology. Each started with a single germinating event. Information spread from that point, mutating and interbreeding - a conical mass of threads, expanding into the future from the apex of their common birthplace. Eventually, of course, they'd wither and die; the cone would simply dissipate at its wide end, its permutations senescent and exhausted.
There were exceptions, of course. Every now and then a single thread persisted, grew thick and gnarled and unkillable: conspiracy theories and urban legends, the hooks embedded in popular songs, the comforting Easter-bunny lies of religious doctrine. These were the memes: viral concepts, infections of conscious thought. Some flared and died like mayflies. Others lasted a thousand years or more, tricked billions into the endless propagation of parasitic half-truths. ~ Peter Watts
Urban Legends quotes by Peter Watts
A border
the perimeter of a single massive or stretched-out use of territory
forms the edge of an area of 'ordinary' city. Often borders are thought of as passive objects, or matter-of-factly just as edges. However, a border exerts an active influence. ~ Jane Jacobs
Urban Legends quotes by Jane Jacobs
From Got Luck --
"Tell me why we're doing this again?" Erin asked.
"Remember what we learned from Return of the Jedi?"
"No. What?"
"We learned you can be the most powerful sorcerer in the galaxy but if someone grabs you and throws you down an energy shaft, you die like everybody else. ~ Michael Darling
Urban Legends quotes by Michael Darling
You want to be possessed, but not controlled. You want to be protected, but not smothered. You want to be dominated, but only in one way. ~ Juliette Cross
Urban Legends quotes by Juliette Cross
How foolish of me to have disregarded you, dear goddess. I won't make that mistake again. ~ Brynn Myers
Urban Legends quotes by Brynn Myers
Italy is another Pack's territory. You're a guest; make sure that you are a polite one.
God, I hope he told Heather that. ~ Elizabeth Morgan
Urban Legends quotes by Elizabeth Morgan
I turned to leave and paused before the gap in the ruined wall. "One last thing, Your Majesty. I'd like a name I can put into my report, something shorter than typing out 'The Leader of the Southern Shapechanger Faction.' What should I call you?"
"Lord."
I rolled my eyes.
He shrugged. "It's short. ~ Ilona Andrews
Urban Legends quotes by Ilona Andrews
When the written and spoken word is censored, the urban landscape becomes a nation's only physical link to the past. ~ Ma Jian
Urban Legends quotes by Ma Jian
Good men don't become legends. ~ Brandon Sanderson
Urban Legends quotes by Brandon Sanderson
My dreams come alive in my books. ~ Lynn A. Dalton
Urban Legends quotes by Lynn A. Dalton
If you look at the great Westerns, and at Greek, Roman, and Norse mythology, they all contain elements in common: a harsh landscape; demons or outlaws trying to stop or kill the protagonist; and there are mythical legends at their core, innate in all cultures. ~ Simon Toyne
Urban Legends quotes by Simon Toyne
As in the pseudoscience of bloodletting, just so in the pseudoscience of city rebuilding and planning, years of learning and a plethora of subtle and complicated dogma have arisen on a foundation of nonsense. ~ Jane Jacobs
Urban Legends quotes by Jane Jacobs
This was an urban legend that didn't make it on to Snopes.com ~ Jackie Sonnenberg
Urban Legends quotes by Jackie Sonnenberg
Our destinies are riddled with challenges that have a tendency to ruin well laid plans. Many have attempted to take fate into their own hands and have been unsuccessful in changing it.
Others find that their paths differ from what they have dreamed for themselves. We must be aware that our choices may come back to haunt us later in life, but to trust that is is all part of fate's desing. ~ Peter Koevari
Urban Legends quotes by Peter Koevari
Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die, but long after we are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistence. ~ Daniel Burnham
Urban Legends quotes by Daniel Burnham
In a sense, every human construction, whether mental or material, is a component in a landscape of fear because it exists in constant chaos. Thus children's fairy tales as well as adult's legends, cosmological myths, and indeed philosophical systems are shelters built by the mind in which human beings can rest, at least temporarily, from the siege of inchoate experience and of doubt. ~ Yi-Fu Tuan
Urban Legends quotes by Yi-Fu Tuan
And New York is the most beautiful city in the world? It is not far from it. No urban night is like the night there ... Squares after squares of flame, set up and cut into the aether. Here is our poetry, for we have pulled down the stars to our will. ~ Ezra Pound
Urban Legends quotes by Ezra Pound
She had gone to a dinner party in her honor the night before the opening, and everyone had asked, with precisely the same intonation, as though it was a piece of urban Gregorian chant, Where have you been? ~ Anna Quindlen
Urban Legends quotes by Anna Quindlen
Lass, you're a woman after my own heart."

"Right now, I just want your body. ~ Donna Grant
Urban Legends quotes by Donna Grant
You've heard shards of our voice in the phantom-radio code of a numbers station in the roar of a crowd - in the screams of your clock - in the scrape of a chalkboard - in the snow static of a TV - in the chainsaw-decibel mating of cicadas - in the urban mythos that spreads amongst children like contagion - in the silence between lies.

White noise becomes a cadence. Words develop self-awareness. Viral. Evolving. Living poetry. Sentient language. ~ Joshua Alan Doetsch
Urban Legends quotes by Joshua Alan Doetsch
Does the novel have to deepen the psychology of its heroes? Certainly the modern novel does, but the ancient legends did not do the same. Oedipus' psychology was deduced by Aeschylus or Freud, but the character is simply there, fixed in a pure and terribly disquieting state. ~ Umberto Eco
Urban Legends quotes by Umberto Eco
I'm as excited as a kid with a new toy to be able to create a unique, exciting, urban superhero for a magazine that I respect as much as VIBE. ~ Stan Lee
Urban Legends quotes by Stan Lee
I have a very pop voice, but there's so much of me I associate mostly with urban music, so I try to blend the two. ~ Aubrey O'Day
Urban Legends quotes by Aubrey O'Day
Protect the daughters of Zeus." Fire flickered in Apollo's eyes. "Kronos is among you. ~ Lisa Kessler
Urban Legends quotes by Lisa Kessler
This is the right time
They are the right people
Will it be enough for mankind?

From "The Rishis: Book of Secrets. ~ Robert Delgado
Urban Legends quotes by Robert Delgado
Even when the facts are available, most people seem to prefer the legend, and refuse to believe the truth when it in any way dislodges the myth. ~ John Mason Brown
Urban Legends quotes by John Mason Brown
Ethnically, Tuareg describe themselves as white. And they don't look Arab or black. Many Tuareg have light skin, light eyes and sharp angular noses and cheekbones. They are cousins of the Berbers of North Africa. Some legends say the Tuareg are the decedents of an ancient Roman legion that disappeared into the desert two millennia ago. ~ Richard Engel
Urban Legends quotes by Richard Engel
Aidan ducked his head, burying his face in the crook of her neck. "Damn, you feel good," he whispered, his deep voice hoarse with need.
It only excited her more. "What do you say we forget dinner and the movie?" she whispered, her breath shortening.
"How you tempt me," he rumbled, tightening his hold.
"If I tempted you as much as you tempt me," she pronounced boldly, "we would both be naked right now. ~ Dianne Duvall
Urban Legends quotes by Dianne Duvall
We're creating these massive urban areas in the Third World. It's like you take the entire population of California and put it in one city. Then you remove basic sanitation and medical services, and you have a ticking biological time bomb. ~ Richard Preston
Urban Legends quotes by Richard Preston
Jorja felt great after her session with the crew from physical therapy. She'd never been one for acting, but if Cat could have seen her, she'd have offered her the Academy Award for "Best Performance by a Previously Dead Person in a Reincarnated Body." Jorja chuckled at the thought... ~ Brynn Myers
Urban Legends quotes by Brynn Myers
Walking out into the night with a water fey was all kinds of stupid. Heck, Kelpies eat people. They may not play with their food as creatively as the Each Uisge, but dead is dead. ~ E.J. Stevens
Urban Legends quotes by E.J. Stevens
At least with magical portals and mystic byways, you had a reasonably good chance that economics and time constraints confined the journey to just a few minutes of scrambling around through geographically unsound temporal mists. In the small hours of the morning, the air cold and damp, and the sun not yet even a glow on the eastern horizon, it was more of a challenge to get back using nothing more than the urban travel infrastructure. ~ Kate Griffin
Urban Legends quotes by Kate Griffin
My nipples tightened as I breathed in his musky scent mixed with cologne. I didn't recognize the brand, but it spoke to something inside me. It whispered come closer, and my heart pounded harder. ~ Lori Toland
