Artemis looked at Holly and felt a tremendous affection for her... he could properly appreciate how fierce and beautiful his best friend was... She is truly magical, thought Artemis. Perhaps her qualities are more obvious to me now that I have decided to sacrifice myself.
Humans have a saying that "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", which basically means that if you think it's beautiful, then it is beautiful. The elfin version of this saying was composed by the great poet B.O Selecta, who said "Even the plainest of the plain shall deign to reign", which critics have always thought was a bit rhymey. The dwarf version of this maxim is "If it don't stink, marry it", which is slightly less romantic, but the general gist is the same.
I'm kind of in the dark. All I know is that the screenplay is finished.

The only lesson I really wanted to get across,
I'm LEP. A captain. No rent-a-cop gnome is going to stand in the way of my orders.
If Koboi defeats and presumably murders us both then you can consider the debt null and void.
Listen to me, goblin. You're stupid, let's accept that and move on.
A pity to survive night flights over St. Georges Channel only to crack my skull falling from a ladder.
If it looks like a Dwarf, and it smells like a Dwarf, then it's probably a Dwarf or a latrine wearing dungerees.
What's that supposed to mean? A wolf's head on a stick. Big wolf barbecue tonight? Bring your own wolf?
And one more thing. About my name — Artemis — you were right. In London, it is generally a female name, after the Greek goddess of archery. But every now and then a male comes along with such a talent for hunting that he earns the right to use the name. I am that male. Artemis the hunter. I hunted you.
(about his terrible attempt at making a sandwich) It's more difficult than it looks. (Artemis Fowl)
