You know, Miss Holly, you look very dramatic like that, backlit by the fire. Very attractive, if I may say so. I know you shared a moment passionne with Artemis which he subsequently fouled up with his typical boorish behavior. Let me just throw something out there for you to consider while we're chasing the probe: I share Artemis's passion but not his boorishness. No pressure; just think about it. This was enough to elicit a deafening moment of silence even in the middle of a crisis, which Orion seemed to be blissfully unaffected by. Eoin Colfer
About This Quote

Artemis Fowl is a very charming character, and his lover Holly Short very attractive, but he is extremely boorish and obnoxious to the point of being self-contradictory. He is also incredibly selfish and without empathy. This quote shows that although Artemis might share the same passion as Holly and other women, he displays no such feelings or care for others. The fact that he does not care for those that he allegedly loves is extremely selfish and lack of empathy. This quote shows that there are two sides to every story, and what one person may think as a kind gesture may actually be an entirely different matter for another person.
