| 6fefe64 | Look, it can be fast, good, or cheap. You can have any two but never all three. | wing | Ilona Andrews | |
| e07b136 | What are you going to wear?" "My badass face." "Good choice," he said." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 9c3eb5b | People must make their own choices, no matter how wrong those choices are. Otherwise they can't be free. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| f394290 | Andrea once told me that I had a problem processing emotional pain. I couldn't handle it, so I replaced it with physical pain instead: either I inflicted it on others or I suffered through it myself. Well, I had physical pain aplenty. If she was right, I should be floating on a cloud of bliss right about now. | kate-daniels magic-rises | Ilona Andrews | |
| 2928088 | He looked like he could pick up a fifty-pound rucksack, run across the city with it, and then beat an ungodly number of enemies to a bloody pulp with his bare hands while things exploded dramatically in the background. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 0cc4a5a | We stared at each other. The level of politeness had risen to dangerous levels. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 9800303 | You came for me," I whispered. "Always," he told me." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 1a596a9 | Between the journeymen, vampires crouched like monstrous gargoyles: hairless, corded with a tight network of steel-hard muscle, and smeared in lime-green and purple sunblock. Bubble-gum-tinted nightmares. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| ee0e85c | He came for me again. He could barely move, but he dragged himself up and threw himself at an enraged demon for my sake. It was enough to make a girl cry. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 4bfc2b1 | No, it's human, Curran said. That's the problem. People, especially unhappy people, want a cause. They want something to belong to, to be a part of something great and bigger, and to be led. It's easy to be a cog in a machine: you don't have to think, you have no responsibility. You're just following orders. Doing as your told. | hate humans | ilona Andrews | |
| b543224 | George grimaced. "Jack is spoiled. Things are hard for him, but he isn't the only one who doesn't have it easy. He gets away with crazy things because he's a changeling and he's different. Jack could behave better, but he stopped trying. He decided that he's worthless and that nothing he could do would make any difference." | jack | Ilona Andrews | |
| 32fe2b0 | Voshak's hair, a pale blond braid, which he bleached, was his trademark. It made him memorable. That's how the slavers operated. They adopted costumes and personas, trying to make themselves larger-than-life and hoping to inspire fear. They counted on that fear. One could fight a man, but nobody could fight a nightmare. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 4d8a81e | It seems that we had...not a better education, per se, but perhaps more incentive to use it. They learn, but they hardly think. | thinking | Ilona Andrews | |
| 541e01b | Baby, you're not the tantrum type. You are the scary-smile-and-stabbing type. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 242359f | FLYING WAS OVERRATED. Heights were very overrated. Flying with wings was probably less overrated when said wings belonged to you, but when you were dangling in a swing that bopped up and down every time the angel of death carrying you beat his wings, you reached a new level of appreciation for walking. Walking was amazing and awesome, and I really wanted to do it again as soon as possible. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| a5ba9c0 | Give me some credit. Eduardo is one of our own. Finding him is all that matters. Besides, if I'd decided to pull Carver's spine out of his body, I would've done it already." "Can you actually do that?" Curran frowned. "I don't know. I mean theoretically if you broke the spine above the pelvis, you could, but then there are ribs . . . I'll have to try it sometime." Okay, then. That was not disturbing. Not at all. "What do you suppose normal .. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 5df5337 | I so didn't need another outbreak of Rogan fever. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 32eb13c | She looked at Mad Rogan. "What did you do?" Mad Rogan opened his mouth. She turned to me. "What did he do?" "He got hit by a car," I said. The woman pivoted back to Mad Rogan. "Why in the world would you do a stupid thing like that?" Mad Rogan opened his mouth again to say something. "Don't you have an army of badasses to keep this exact thing from happening?" "I..." The woman turned to me. "What kind of car was it?" "An armored Escalade," .. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 4140b6e | Let me help," he said. "You've been taught all your life that killing another person is wrong, and that belief persists even in the fact of facts. Not only would Peaches have killed us given the chance, but this way I only had to kill on person rather than kill half a dozen of his followers. I saved several live, but your conditioning tells you I've done the wrong thing. I didn't. He started it. I finished it." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 8f0d517 | Mad Rogan saw me and smiled. And my mind went right into the gutter. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| d3e8458 | And you're not hurt? Nothing's broken?" "No." "Oh good." Mad Rogan sank a vicious punch into Adam's jaw. Adam fell to his knees, his mouth bloody. "How about now, Adam? Anything hurt now?" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| d0382ee | Want to add anything to this discussion?" The big merc sucked in a hoarse breath. His face shook with the strain of making words come out. ". . . Fuck you!" Oh, you dimwit. "Fuck you!" "Leroy!" Camo Pants barked. "And fuck your bitch, too!" Leroy declared. Curran looked at me. "How about now? Can I twist his head off now?" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| b09e73a | When life hits you in the gut, it's always a sucker punch. You never see it coming. One moment you're walking along, worrying your little worries and making quiet plans, and the next you're rolled into a ball, trying to hug yourself against the pain, frantic and reeling, your mind a jumble of scared thoughts. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| a1e5b43 | What did you do to Eduardo?" "I don't know any Eduardo!" Mac wheezed. I twisted his arm a fraction more. He cried out. "I know your name is Mac. I know that's your redneck cousin Leroy. I know you're in Eduardo's territory, muscling in on his gig, and I know that you stole the FJ Cruiser from his fiancee. Look at me. Look at my eyes." Mac looked up at me. His face went white. My voice was barely above a whisper, but I sank a lot of rage.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 175a45b | You will. You'll fall asleep fast and sleep soundly until morning, and then you'll get up and have breakfast with your family because I'll be prowling in your house tonight. And if anyone tries to interrupt your sleep and end your life, you have my word that they'll sleep forever." That" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 4b5879b | Did you see the mailman while doing your rounds yesterday?" Curran's face turned carefully blank. "Yes, I did." "Did you do anything to scare him?" "I was perfectly friendly." "Mhm." Please continue with your nice story. Non-judgemental. "He was putting things into the mailbox. I was passing by and I said, 'Hello, nice night.' And then I smiled. He jumped into his truck and slammed the door." "Rude!" Julie volunteered. "I let it pass," Curr.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| f1b9c03 | I want you, you want love, and he wants to break my neck. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 622aec6 | I would kill Kurt. I would strangle him with my bare hands. I stomped up the stairs to the second floor of Rogan's HQ, where Heart and Bug waited for me. Napoleon saw my face and ran behind Bug's chair to hide. "Where is Kurt?" I growled. Bug blinked. "I'm not sure I should tell you this information." "Bug!" "Kurt is a valuable member of the team, and you have murder on your face." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| fc62b82 | You found me," he said. "You didn't hide very well. And I'm a PI." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 6d8b33d | Adam glanced up. Brown eyes took my measure. He looked just like he did in all those photographs. Okay. Now I needed to not get fried as I talked his handsome ass into surrendering. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| db8c6b2 | Small talk with the dragon. How are you? Eaten any adventurers lately? Sure, just had one this morning. Look, I still got his femur stuck in my teeth. Is that upsetting to you? | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 3c0cdfe | It's almost as if the dead have no value unless we know that someone they are related to is still alive and mourning them. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 719f584 | What?" "She won't bite or scratch or she'll vomit. She's a vegetarian." Oh boy. "But when she's in beast form . . ." He shook his head. "She eats grass. Don't ask." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| edee59d | We ransomed our dignity to the clouds. | Tom Stoppard | ||
| 3f808b7 | Kissing girls is not like science, nor is it like sport. It is the third thing when you thought there were only two. | love romance | Tom Stoppard | |
| 66f07ab | You are an over-excited little man, with a need for self-expression far beyond the scope of your natural gifts. This is not discreditable. Neither does it make you an artist. | Tom Stoppard | ||
| 6ec2b54 | SEPTIMUS: My lady, I was alone with my thoughts in the gazebo, when Mrs Chater ran me to ground, and I being in such a passion, in an agony of unrelieved desire -- LADY CROOM: Oh....! SEPTIMUS: -- I thought in my madness that the Chater with her skirts over her head would give me the momentary illusion of the happiness to which I dared not put a face. (Pause.) LADY CROOM: I do not know when I have received a more unusual compliment, Mr Hodg.. | Tom Stoppard | ||

| acf103c | Orion to holly : im just a teenager with hormones running wild. And may i say young fairy lady, they're running wild in your direction | eoin colfer | ||
| b3811ee | That, as my cousin Nord would say, is where my improvised lie falls apart. | lies | Eoin Colfer | |
| 679140b | One loose rivet or cracked weld line would have been enough to allow a few atmospheres to squirt out, and the ship would have been crushed like a soda can in the hand of a giant who was immensely strong and didn't like soda cans. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| dde006f | It's a game box. They were invented so teenagers wouldn't have to talk to grownups. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 2a144bf | He said sometimes when you're young you have to think about things, because you're forming your value-sets and you keep coming up with Data Insufficient and finding holes in your programs. So you keep trying to do a fix on your sets. And the more powerful your mind is and the more intense your concentration is, the worse damage you can do to yourself, which is why, Justin says, Alphas always have trouble and some of them go way off and out-.. | self-awareness | C.J.
