| 4cc4198 | He nodded. "Okay. We got it out in the open. Here it is. This is your moment to be angry at your own laziness and wallow in self-pity. A moment is all you get, because any minute Adam Pierce might set Houston on fire. Take a few minutes for your pity party. Would five be enough?" "You're an asshole." "Yes, but I'm a very well-trained asshole. I'm offering you the use of my expertise. So suck it up, get over this bump, and let's go. Are you .. | Ilona Andrews | ||

| 4399fca | Gradually, it sank in. The Mother Beast was dead. I had killed her. The taste of her blood burned in my mouth. Behind her, a deep black hole bore into the ground beneath the remnants of the railroad car. It must have been her underground lair. She had raised her brood there, safe and far away from everyone, until Kyle's crew invaded her den. Such an awful waste. None of this was necessary. At least one person died, many others were injured,.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 5626694 | When I returned, instead of beating swift retreat she suggested we should have fun together. I dunked her a couple of times.

| 591bcc8 | It's a very special couch," I told her. "Mad Rogan once fell asleep on it. We're thinking of having it gold-plated and donated to a museum . . ." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| f7d8b12 | She grinned at me. "Aha, took you a second. Don't worry, I only poison random strangers on Tuesdays." "Today is Tuesday," Leon said. "Oops. Well, that's okay.

| 8fe41b2 | Life is so precious because it's short. Even the most resilient people are fragile. Life isn't about dying or not dying. It's about living well. Living so you can be proud and happy. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 7e18708 | Guil: ...The truth is, we value your company, for want of any other. We have been left so much to our own devices-- after a while one welcomes the uncertainty of being left to other people's. Player: Uncertainty is the normal state. You're nobody special.

LADY CROOM: Mr Chater, you are a welcome guest at Sidley Park but while you are one, The Castle of Otranto was written by whomsoever I say it was, otherwise what is the point .. | Tom Stoppard | ||

| 43c1a9e | If I decide to make a career in the army, he said, I would never be rich, but I would live one of the most satisfying lives there was to be had. Then he warned me that satisfaction would come at a great cost to me and any family I might have. I should never expected to be thanked; a soldier, if he was going to be content, had to understand that no civilian, no government, sometimes not even the army itself, would recognize the true nature o.. | Roméo Dallaire | ||
| da5894b | Creo que perdemos la inmortalidad porque la resistencia a la muerte no ha evolucionado; sus perfeccionamientos insisten en la primera idea, rudimentaria: retener vivo todo el cuerpo. Solo habria que buscar la conservacion de lo que interesa a la conciencia. | Adolfo Bioy Casares | ||

| 3dd50dd | Madame Magloire sometimes called him 'Your Highness.' One day, rising from his armchair, he went to his library for a book.
