| ea9e832 | Chase stretched. "I'll give you the week." And he held up his pinky. Eric grimaced. He HATED this part. "Shake on it, pinky shake, or we don't have a deal." "You're an asshole," Eric told him. "Pretty much." He waited until Eric did, in fact, lock pinkies with him." | Michelle Sagara West | ||
| 9d63fdd | Ignorance and stupidity are not the same. Remember that. Ignorance can always be alleviated. | Michelle Sagara | ||
| 0763242 | She'd learned early that if she couldn't be on time to save her life, she'd better cultivate the unseemly art of groveling. | Michelle Sagara | ||
| da51835 | It can't be any worse than whatever it is Annarion's doing." "You are devoid of an active imagination, which is disappointing considering the experience you have now amassed." | nightshade | Michelle Sagara | |
| b3eb372 | Perhaps the twentieth-century Senator is not called upon to risk his entire future on one basic issue in the manner of Edmund Ross or Thomas Hart Benton. Perhaps our modern acts of political courage do not arouse the public in the manner that crushed the career of Sam Houston and John Quincy Adams. Still, when we realize that a newspaper that chooses to denounce a Senator today can reach many thousand times as many voters as could be reache.. | John F. Kennedy | ||
| c50d835 | Maybe what I really wanted, I began to think, was a stronger sense of fellowship... I thought about my friends and about how I didn't have any... | Daniel Clowes | ||
| 601e6c3 | You were right, everybody hates my new car. Becky said it was a goth dorkmobile. | car dork goth new | Daniel Clowes | |
| 6aff0cc | So there it was. My big lesson of the day, something I'd take with me and never forget. The whole legal system - if you think it's just a big set of rules, you're dead wrong. It's really a bunch of people sitting around and talking to each other, deciding what they want to do with you. When they make their decision, then they pull out whatever rule they need to make it happen. | Steve Hamilton | ||
| 0188af0 | Sometimes it takes a two-by-four across your head to realize what you want isn't what you'll end up with if you get it. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 898dbfd | It wasn't that the dark side was stronger, but that everything was the dark side. All magic was inherently wrong, and it was only us fooling ourselves that some of it was good, some of it was bad. Magic...just was. | Kim Harrison | ||
| c857bfe | Tink's pink dildo, all that money and he can kiss, too, | Kim Harrison | ||
| 531dae4 | Jenks watched for a moment from the rim of the bucket, then said, " You look like a porno star on your hands and knees, mopping in your underwear. Push it baby" he moaned. " Push it!" | Kim harrison | ||
| 29b7d9c | I knew it was a trap, itchy witch," the demon said, but then a flash of white exploded against the inside of the circle. I felt the bubble go down, leaving a white disk of ash where the carpet had burned away. "But I didn't know it was a lethal one," he continued," | Kim Harrison | ||
| 810535a | I smiled at David, even as I shoved at him to give me more room. I hadn't been pleased last night when he'd insisted I wasn't to be left alone, but you don't argue with two hundered pounds of wolf--you make room. | rachel-morgan wolf | Kim Harrison | |
| 194c174 | My fingers tightened on my waxed paper cup, sure now I knew why Minias was sitting at a table sipping coffee with me. I had a password. I had a reason to trade. I had a major problem. | Kim Harrison | ||
| be0990b | Revenge is a tricky beast. Her claws face both ways. I don't mind a few more scars. They'll be unnoticed among the rest. | Kim Harrison | ||
| fb3f13c | You've never been the safe, nice girl next door, despite everything you do to be that person. That's why you joined the I.S., and even there you didn't fit in, because, knowing it or not, you were a possible threat to everyone around you. People sense it on some level. I see it all the time. The dangerous are attracted by the lure of an equal, and the weak are afraid. Then they avoid you, or go out of their way to make your life miserable s.. | danger fit risk threat | Kim Harrison | |
| c42ed19 | I'd give anything if you'd kiss me." I said. "I mean," I said when he tilted his head to look at me, his eyes wide in shock, "I've kissed guys before. It's like a handshake these days," I lied, just wanting to know what his lips on mind would feel like. "Almost required if you're leaving." | kiss pierce rachel-morgan two-ghosts-for-sister-rachel | Kim Harrison | |
| 1a94eb8 | Trent was Cincinnati's most eligible bachelor, still single because of me. He'd thanked me for that in a weird moment of honesty when he thought we might die in a demon's prison cell. I was still wondering why I'd bothered to save his little elf butt. Misplaced responsibility, maybe? That I'd saved his life didn't seem to mean anything to him, since he had tried to make my skull one with a tombstone not three seconds after I got us safe. | Kim Harrison | ||
| cf0961e | I'm not talking about the blood ecstasy. I'm talking about my being able to fill that emotion void she has. You know her as well as I do, maybe better. She aches with it. She needs to be accepted for who she is so badly. And I was able to do that. Do you know good that felt? To be able to show someone that, yes, you are someone worth sacrificing for? That you like them for their faults and that you respect them for their ability to rise abo.. | acceptance-of-others friendship friendship-true-and-loyal inspirational love self-esteem self-esteem-or-lack-thereof | Kim Harrison | |
| 52797fa | His seat belt was on, and his hands dropped from where he'd been fiddling with the visor. "You look small," he finally said, looking both innocent and wise." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 3da45e5 | Muttering about caves, Jenks came in with my suitcase, his eyes roving the low ceiling. He dropped my bag by the door, tossed me the keys to the van, and headed out, flicking the light switch several times because he could. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 7733112 | I was with a six-foot-four, athletic, angsty young man dressed in casual linen pants and matching fawn-colored shirt. Under it was a skintight two-piece suit of silk and spandex that had set us back a couple hundred dollars, but after seeing him in it, my head bobbed and my card came out. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 934052f | Jenks made a face. "He turned my son into a thief and broke my partner's heart. Why should I give him a draft of consideration?" | Kim Harrison | ||
| 0dfb0dd | Jenks snickered. "Yeah, Rache. Why bother? I mean, this could be good. Ivy could invite her mom over for a housewarming. We've been here a year, and the woman is dying to come over. Well, at least she would be if she were still alive." Worried, I looked up from the phone book. Alarm sifted over Ivy. For a moment it was so quiet I could hear the clock above the sink, and then Ivy jerked, her speed edging into that eerie vamp quickness she .. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 0fad0f9 | Okay," I said, resettling myself and looking up.You need the thrill of danger flitted through my mind, and I quashed it." | Kim Harrison | ||
| dcda36f | The Weres would track us from there. I'm surprised they haven't found us already. I can't believe you bit her. We have four Were packs scenting for our blood, and you think now is a good time to change your relationship? | Kim Harrison | ||
| b0e0196 | Jenks's gaze was even and calm, wise and even a bit sad. The wind ruffled his hair, and the sound of the pixies grew obvious. "No," he said. "I don't think you do." I glared, and he added, "I think it would kill you quicker than going to see Piscary wearing gothic lace. I think managing to find a blood balance with Ivy is going to be the only way you're going to survive. Besides..." He grinned impishly. "...no one but Ivy will put up with.. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 598f030 | Bug?" Jenks shouted, incensed. "You sack of sweat stink. I've got farts that smell sweeter than you. Think you're better than me? Poop ice cream cones, do you?" | Kim Harrison | ||
| 2f7d4db | If you think living with Ivy and trying to avoid getting bitten was difficult, wait until you try living with her while trying to find a blood balance. This isn't an easier road, Rache," he said, gaze distant and unaware of the worry he was starting in me. "It's a harder one. And you're going to be hurting all the way along it." | Kim Harrison | ||
| c49eb96 | Would you like something to drink?" I asked, thinking my rusty host skills were going to get a workout this afternoon while dealing with a woman so clearly raised on etiquette and form." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 5517a90 | Come here," she prompted. "You want to do this, yes?" Not really. (Newt and Rachel)" | Kim Harrison | ||
| fc8ad94 | I thought this was the safest place to hammer out an agreement with Piscary," I said meekly. "My office?" he barked. "Well..." I hedged. "Maybe a conference room?" | Kim Harrison | ||
| b463499 | He may be your son, but it was my old boyfriend who got him in trouble. He lied to you. He lied to me. And I'm going up there so I can kick Nick's ass from here to the ever-after. | Kim Harrison | ||
| ea9ab6e | I didn't like this. I didn't like this at all. I had been worried about Al trashing a bar. What if he showed up here amid Cincy's finest citizens and its most helpless orphans? I'd be lynched. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 3c3cb83 | The woman glanced at Nina as if for support, but the vampire was stifling a laugh, badly. | Kim Harrison | ||
| e1a1d38 | Nina made a dramatic sigh. "She won't give me one, either," she lamented," | Kim Harrison | ||
| 2c913f4 | The zeal of the stupid in her, Chris began turning pages as if it were the winter solstice gift catalog, earmarking pages and cooing in delight at the new possibilities. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 5c5e6da | Kisten's eyes went distant, falling from mine as he gently pulled my arms into a less aggressive posture. "Most people," he said, "are desperate to be needed. And if they don't feel good about themselves or think they're undeserving of love, some will fasten upon the worst possible way to satisfy that need to punish themselves. They're the addicts, the shadows both claimed and unclaimed, passed like the fawning sheep they make themselves in.. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 9462a0f | That night had been the first time I'd felt alive, the adrenaline and endorphins making my body, still recovering from disease, feel...normal. It was then that I realized I'd risk anything to feel that way all the time--and most days, I did. | Kim Harrison | ||
| b51595d | Thanks, Edden," I said, truly pleased that he was sending someone for Jenks not only because now I didn't have to, but that he'd thought of Jenks at all. "You're a peach." "Yeah, yeah, yeah," he said, and I could hear his smile. "I bet you say that to all the captains." | Kim Harrison |
