| 0ee2c58 | From now on, every ghost who enters the world of the dead will have to come with a story, the story of his or her life, and tell it to the harpies. It doesn't have to be a big adventure; it can just be a description of a day playing with the children, like Lyra's, or whatever it might happen to be. In exchange for this true story, the harpies will lead that ghost outside to dissolve into the Universe and be one with everything else. | Philip Pullman | ||
| 59d223c | Everything about her in that moment was soft, and that was one of his favorite memories later on--her tense grace made tender by the dimness, her eyes and hands and especially her lips, infinitely soft. He kissed her again and again, and each kiss was nearer to the last one of all. Heavy and soft with love, they walked back to the gate. Mary and Serafina were waiting. "Lyra--" Will said. And she said, "Will." | philip-pullman the-amber-spyglass | philip pullman | |

| 9f57418 | And Pantalaimon didn't ask why, because he knew; and he didn't ask whether Lyra loved Roger more than him, because he knew the true answer to that, too. And he knew that if he spoke, she wouldn't be able to resist; so the daemon held himself quiet so as not to distress the human who was abandoning him, and now they were both pretending that it wouldn't hurt, it wouldn't be long before they were together again, it was all for the best.

| 999ec8c | Did I ever tell you that you are like sunshine in the middle of the night? | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 4083841 | I was midway down to the first floor when it finally hit me: I had just told the alpha of all shapeshifters that hell would freeze over before I got into his bed. Not only had I just kissed any cooperation from the Pack good-bye, but I had also challenged him. Again. I stopped and hit my head a few times on the wall. Keep your mouth shut, stupid. Derek appeared at the bottom of the stairway. "It went that well, huh?" | Ilona Andrews | ||

I swiped Slayer from its sheath and backed away from the edge of the roof.

| 6a59068 | In that case, it's good that you're a human Cuisinart," she said. "I'm sorry?" "A Cuisinart. It's an appliance from the Broken. You put vegetables into it, push a button, and it chops them into tiny pieces." Richard frowned. "Why would you need an appliance to chop vegetables? Wouldn't it be easier to chop them with a knife?"

| 0fd1fc3 | I snapped the crossbow into the top of the mount, took a canvas bundle from the cart, and unrolled it. Crossbow bolts, tipped with the Galahad warheads. "This is my baby." I petted the stock. "You have a strange relationship with your weapons," Roman said. "You have no idea," Raphael told him.

| b89ae40 | She is in particular interested in the Ennui predator. She very much likes its demeanor and coloring in the images. She understand she may not get that particular one, but perhaps one that resembles it? A young one?" The Ennui predator. "Where did she find these images?"

| 0740657 | How do you know your injuries aren't life threatening? You're covered in the fluid from its guts. How do you know it's not poisonous?"

I opened my eyes as wide as I could. "Why, of course, Your Majesty. What was I thinking? I will go and do this right away, j.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 326d73b | You should try making more noise as you walk, too." Curran suggested. "Maybe the ghouls will mistake you for a small underground elephant and run off." "When we get out of here, I'll kick you." "You'll try." | Ilona Andrews | ||
