Riddle Quotes Novels & Stories

More riddles again. Why isn't the path to finding the truth straightforward???

"What goes around comes around. Aren't you afraid of karma?" Mr. Rogers Sr. burst into laughter as if he had heard some ridiculous joke. "I'm curious to know who in San Joto can hand down karma on me. Oh, Benjamin, you're still as naïve as ever. No wonder the Riddle family has slumped so much now. It's all because of your stupidity." Mr. Riddle Sr. looked nonchalant despite the insult. He looked silently at the triumphant Mr. Rogers Sr. and shook his head slowly.

“You think this is a game? Let us go, and I’ll come to you. No tricks.” The distorted voice responded through the speakers, calm and mocking. “Such a noble offer, Detective. But we both know you’re far more interesting under pressure. You have two options: disarm the explosives, or solve my puzzle. Only one will save you.” Another riddle flashed onto the screen: “The more you take, the more you leave behind. What am I?” Mason’s mind raced. He had no time for games, but ignoring the riddle might lead to another trap. He repeated the words in his head: The more you take, the more you leave behind.

"Did you figure out the answer?" "Of course! It's just a riddle. Piece of cake!" "Which one did you solve?" "There's a snake in the forest, but it never bit anyone. Why?" The other person seemed puzzled. "Uh… Why?" "Because there's no one in the forest!" "Oh, you're so smart! Why don't you try the final question?" "What's the final question?" "It's a distich." "Like a two-line poem that rhymes?" "Sort of… But instead of words, it's a number."

I snort. What a cliché quote some or other happy drunk motivational speaker concocted when he was at a loss for words. It must be the same asshole who suggested grabbing life by the horns, that winners never quit, and that everything happens for a reason. “Well, keep on dreaming, girl.” Cause that dream is not gonna happen. Luckily, that’s Axel’s shit. Not mine. I fake a smile, “Cheers!” and throw the alcohol down my throat before I bite into a piece of lemon. The sour taste causes goosebumps on my skin.

He crossed his arms while narrowing his eyes at me. Time passed while playing, laughing and revealing a few things about each other which made me late for the office. Just thinking about it gives me a weird feeling. •••••••••••••• 'Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see'. ~Mark Twain. I used this quote in my poem. H.LOCKHART.

Right now we need to make that other day possible. "Can you solve the riddle?" "I might be able to if you would cease your inane chatter," he snaps at me. I lift my hands in the universal sign for 'I surrender' and turn to watch the meadow being devoured. A light bulb goes off. "Ulrik,darkness!" I grin widely. "The darker it is,the less you're able to see!"

“You are the only person who has ever really listened without making it weird,” Zack admits, his voice dropping to a lower register. “Everyone else either starts crying or tries to give me inspirational quotes or something.” The wind rustles through a nearby oak branches overhead while they sit in comfortable silence for a moment. “Inspirational quotes,” she echoed. “That is a new one. What like ‘hang in there’ cat posters? Weird.”
