| 3160a81 | Where are we going? I don't know yet. Anyplace is good, so long as there's sausage and bitches. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 3ddf561 | You mean nonhuman. Inhuman is an adjective, I said, as I rose from the lawn and padded softly around the left side of the house to the backyard. | oberon | Kevin Hearne | |
| a0082cc | It had been a long time since I'd felt any desire to truly inflict pain upon another person. I tend to take the long view on dealing with irritating people--as in, I'm going to outlive whoever irritates me, so the problem will eventually go away. I had privately changed "This, too, shall pass" into "You, too, shall die," and it helped me avoid all sorts of conflict." | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 08b1ce3 | Witches and I generally don't get along. Druids look at the tapestry of nature and try to make sure the weave of it remains strong, reinforcing the binding amongst all living things and sewing up the threads on the edges that fray and unravel. Witches, on the other hand, often punch holes in the tapestry in the pursuit of personal power, making deals with dark, supernatural forces that want nothing more than to see nature perverted and dest.. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| d71227c | Did you just say Ragnarok is poppycock? | Kevin Hearne | ||
| bb0a535 | We don't need to play her witch's games. They always want to get you and your little dog, too.> | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 973a4b3 | Brain death didn't allow one time to heal, and the brain was the warehouse for the spirit. Punch a hole in that and you'd shuffle off your mortal coil right away. Keeping your coil unshuffled was the problem. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| fd736c0 | I had my own dump truck of bad karma waiting for me somewhere ahwad. I had certainly earned it, but I raced to avoid it if I could; there was no way I wanted to fell that. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| ea54406 | The function of assholes in the world, just like the asshole we all have, is to spread shit around. They are loathsome and dirty and smell extraordinarily bad, but they are also vitally necessary. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| fbfd3cf | So after I killed him and stowed his body next to the doe, I sampled his smoothie concoction in the parking lot and found it to be quite delicious. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| dd361c3 | PR guys get paid to make people believe that a pile of shit is an investment in soil fertility. Professional liars." "Ah!" Manannan's expression lit with comprehension. "They are politicians?" | politicians | Kevin Hearne | |
| d6ad7d3 | Behind me, I heard my apprentice growl, "All your base are belong to us, Niko." | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 363f739 | Then again, it's difficult to dislike a man who takes pleasure in giving away free beer. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 386bc92 | Guilt ferrets are bastards. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| ae356d3 | People still need to know that ye would fix everything if ye could. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| dae9cec | Betrayal always comes wrapped up in a friendly cloak. It's one of the first things I learned in the Senate. | star-wars | Kevin Hearne | |
| 6ce1582 | Law is all that separates us from barbarism and the howling within; it is a necessary leash on our darker natures. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 3383235 | He thought in silence before answering. "I don't think loneliness is a thing that can be borne: it's so heavy and crushing for something that is essentially emptiness. It's like being trapped beneath a boulder, this immovable weight that presses your ribs and slowly steals your breath. And so it must simply be endured, and you do that by looking away. I hope you will not be offended if I admit that I am looking away right now. Every minute .. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 7205d1a | The beard of Odin told you that he wasn't a hippie or a barbarian or a fantasy author but a god who could bring order to chaos. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| e484cb6 | Science cannot close the fist of reason around the miracle of consciousness any more than I can turn my sword into a light saber. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 90866c0 | Pastafarians | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 7c89adc | We want somebody to rescue us from other people. From talking to them, I mean, or from the burden of giving a damn about what they say. We don't want to be polite and stifle our farts, now, do we? We want to let 'em rip and we want to be with someone who won't care if we do, who will love us regardless and fart right back besides. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| df1fcec | The Celtic ideal for clothing was that it had to be easy to move in if you needed to fight and easy to take off if you wanted a quickie. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| e91ddc6 | For me, the times I always regret are missed opportunities to say farewell to good people, to wish them long life and say to them in all sincerity, | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 6b2deaa | He could focus my attention on how perfectly sublime life can be at times. Such moments are ephemeral, and without his guidance I might have missed many of them, working so hard to get somewhere that I would fail to recognize when I had arrived. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| a842967 | Fucking H!" the vampire shouted, shaking his free left fist. He enunciated the g very clearly and projected his voice from his diaphragm, like a trained opera singer. "It's fuckin' A, not H, but yeah, Leif, go ahead, let's throw down." Leif paused and frowned. "Do you not mean we should throw up?" "No. See, when you throw up you're vomiting, but when you throw down you're starting a fight, as in throwing down the gauntlet." "Ohhhh," he said.. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| c64c71a | Yes, I felt guilt. Somehow I had pushed Fand to the precipice without realizing it, and had I not been so blind, perhaps she wouldn't be trying to pull us all over the edge with her now. I was sure Manannan felt it too-the crushing questions of how we got to this place and whether we could have avoided it, where we went wrong, and whether we would ever learn how not to cock up other people's lives in the course of living our own. | philosophy | Kevin Hearne | |
| be952b0 | I hope that if I ever travel two thousand years into the future, there will still be bacon. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 573c0f3 | So my free advice is to always find something to love and to make you laugh--something that will keep you in the here and now. Hounds are good at it, and they work for me. They may or may not work for you. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| d1b2141 | War always takes your life, sometimes not all at once. | wisdom | Kevin Hearne | |
| 76473dc | I knew it would annoy her. She'd deliberately tried to provoke me, and one cannot sass me with impunity. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 9f489bd | Pick a system--any system, legal or ecclesiastical--and you'll start to wonder at how anyone could think it was fair. And then you'll realize it was never meant to be fair but rather was intended to protect the interests of the powerful, and then you're wading through a swamp of cynicism and your day's ruined. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| f78a40d | If it pleases me, then it is good and I want more; If it displeases me, then it must be destroyed as soon as possible, but preferably in a way that enhances my reputation so that I can achieve immortality in the songs of bards. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 5f0bf85 | You're going to need a dann big can of big spray! Or maybe a rocket-propelled grenade. I have one in the garage, you want it? | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 1bc7fcf | First, we need to get a buttload of nails." "A buttload? How much is that?" "Uh ..." Granuaile rescued me with her superior knowledge of indefinite units of measurement. "I believe that's slightly more than a shitload but much less than a fuckton." | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 8cefd42 | Atticus, ixnay issingpay off the oppercay.> | Kevin Hearne | ||
| b036d0a | Morrigan visited me in my dreams. It tore me away from a nightmare where I was trying to teach high school science to a room full of creationists, so I was mightily relieved to see the Chooser of the Slain. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 725593f | Few things trigger old memories so quickly as authority figures from our youth. I'm not saying those memories are necessarily good ones; they're simply old and tend to cast us back into roles we thought we grew out of long ago. Sometimes the memories are warm and blanket us like a mother's love. More often, however, they have the sting of hoarfrost, which bites at first, then numbs and settles in the bones for a deep, extended chill. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 9180ec0 | I bet it's a universal truth: You eat your pie or go home. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 87bdcc8 | Some o' the words in this book might not be immediately pronounceable for some readers because they have foreign origins. Heck, I needed help myself. But I like learning new words and how to say them, so I'm providing a wee guide here for a few names and such in case you're of a like mind and want to know how to say them out loud. No one is going to confiscate your cake if you say them wrong, but you might score a piece of cake if you say t.. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 72c1ff6 | Cunning is better than running. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| aa80d39 | Pain fades, but freedom is an enduring joy. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 3ebff35 | Don't hate the Meat Lord, Atticus. Just offer him steak sauce and words of praise. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| d90e03c | But in doing so--moving forward, in Greta's mind--he's still dealing with the past. It's always strung out behind us, innit, attached to our arses like a roll of toilet paper we trail out of the bathroom, pointing the way to the giant shite we just took. It doesn't matter if we flushed it down: Everyone still knows what we did there. So it's fine to say it's all done and you have no connection with the past, that you're a new person every s.. | Kevin Hearne |
