| 98732ae | I flicked a comb through my wet hair, for all the good it would do, and said, "How do I look?" "Mostly human," she said. "That's what I was going for." -- | Jim Butcher | ||
| 9c04306 | Holy water, a couple cloves of garlic, vials of salt, and iron fillings filled the basket, intended to be door prizes for anything that showed up in an attempt to suck my blood, carry me off to faerieland, or sell me stale cookies. | Jim Butcher | ||
| 4aa86bc | I am somewhat proud of this," Mab's cold voice said. "To be sure, the White Christ never suffered so long or so terribly as did this traitor. Three days on a tree. Hardly enough time for a prelude. When it came to visiting agony, the Romans were hobbyists." | Jim Butcher | ||

| 3ae3818 | You have a skill. You can do something no one else can," Barron says. "Seriously. You know what's good about that? It's valuable. As in you can trade it for goods or services. Or money. Remember when I said it was wasted on you? I was so right." | Holly Black | ||
| ea0a53b | You put a curse on that girl over there," I tell him. "Fix her ." "She admired my ears," the boy says. "I was only giving her what she desired. A party favor."

| bba0672 | I need your help," says the tiny figure. Her voice is sad and soft and sounds like Lila's, but with an odd accent that might just be how cats sound when they talk." | Holly Black | ||
| 9f44923 | She's an old lady," Barron says. "And she's been locked up for years. Let her have some fun. She needs to blow off steam. Seduce old dudes. Lose money at canasta." | Holly Black | ||

| 9325604 | Christmas is supposed to be this time when everyone is nice to one another and forgives one another and all that, but the true meaning of Christmas is .

| fef14b3 | Yeah," Tamara said. "An old bowling alley. There must be a town not too far from here. But how could Aaron be there? And don't say something like 'working on his score' or 'maybe he's in a bowling league' or something like that. Be serious." Call leaned against the rough bark of a nearby tree and resisted the urge to sit down. He was afraid he wouldn't be able to get up again. "I'm serious.

| dab9832 | When we fall that first time, we're not really in love with the girl. We're in love with being in love. We've got no idea what she's really about--or what she's capable of. We're in love with our idea of her and of who we become around her. We're idiots. | Holly Black | ||
| 77cf85f | That was the problem with monsters. Sometimes they looked just like everybody else. | Holly Black | ||
| 0cfe085 | And Barron is probably right--we should give this up. Not for the reason he's saying but for the one that's implied. The one about it not being okay to lurk around outside buildings, spying on girls you like. | Holly Black | ||

| 1b95db4 | I hate you because your father loves you even though you're a human brat born to his unfaithful wife, while mine never cared for me, though I am a prince of Faerie. I hate you because Locke used you and your sister to make Nicasia cry after he stole her from me. Besides which, after the tournament, Balekin never failed to throw you in my face as the mortal who could best me. | Holly Black | ||
