"What?" croaked Artemis.
"And a T-shirt.”

“Ah, my princess. Noble steed. How does the morning find you both?”

“HOLLY: Are you suggesting I occasionally stray from the rule book?
FOALY: No. I'm suggesting you do not own a copy of the rule book, and if you do, you have certainly never opened it.”

“Are you saying that you people knew about these amorophobots all the time?"
"Of course we did. They attacked us in Iceland. Remember?"
"No. I was unconscious.”

“Artemis Fowl will never be secondary."

"I thought you were Artemis Fowl the Second?" said Holly.”

“People are afraid of you, Arty. Girls are terrified of you. You’re a fifteen-year-old in a bespoke suit, and nobody died.”

“Foaly: Confidence is ignorance. If you're feeling cocky, it's because there's something you don't know.”

“Artemis: I never tell anybody exactly how clever I am. They would be too scared.”

“Let us proceed under the assumption that the fairy folk do exist, and that I am not a gibbering moron.”

“Who are you?" he asked.
I am the future queen of this world, at the very least. You may refer to me as Mistress Koboi for the next five minutes. After that you may refer to me as Aaaaarrrrgh, hold your throat, die screaming, and so on.”

“I don't like lollipops.”

“Being in command means making tough decisions. Not being in command means shutting up and doing what you're told.
--Artemis Fowl”

“In my experience, boys are predictable. As soon as they think of something, they do it. Girls are smarter—they plan ahead. They think about not getting caught.”

“A CD. How quaint. We have these in museums.”

“I can't imagine what they're planning. But I can tell you two things. We won't like it, and it won't be legal.”

“You wouldn't know a clue if it danced in front of you with a T-Shirt that read 'I'm a clue”

“The problem is that I know the textbook answers to any question you care to ask.”

“No, mademoiselle, I would not like to see the children's menu. I have no doubt that the children's menu itself tastes better than the meals on it. I would like to order à la carte. Or don't you serve fish to minors?”
