| d5ac2a4 | But then what were physical feelings if not more electrical messages from the brain? Why believe in them either? Was there anything trustworthy in the Universe that one could hug and hold on to in the midst of a butterfly storm, other than a Hawaliusian wind staunch? | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 9177378 | Ich hore mir das nicht langer an. Jede Sekunde, die ich mit dir spreche, ist eine verlorene Sekunde." Da blickte Root ihm direkt in die Augen. "Das macht dann, alles in allem, gut sechshundert verlorene Jahre, was, mein " | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 0a79041 | Mit genau einem Meter Korpergrosse lag Holly nur einen Zentimeter unter dem Elfendurchschnitt, aber ein Zentimeter kann verdammt viel ausmachen, wenn er einem fehlt. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 20ae470 | Butler struggled from a tiny fairy chair. "Right, enough talk. I think it's time Mister Vassikin was introduced to my friend, Mister Fist." -- | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 3172da8 | Careful with that," said the Doctor. "No need to get carried away." Aldridge spun the scalpel like a baton. "Yessir. Careful is my middle name. Actually Clumsy is my middle name, but that doesn't encourage clients and it makes me sound like one of those dwarfs that are going to be so popular when moving pictures a get going." | Eoin Colfer | ||
| eb83c85 | The cow spat. "What are you going to do? Not eat me?" "That's right. I won't eat you and I won't eat your entire family. Wherever they hide, I'll find them and not eat a single bite." | Eoin Colfer | ||
| ab6fdc3 | When it had all become too much for the pixie, her brain had simply shut down, all except the most vital functions. She still breathed, and occasionally the monitors registered a dream spike in her brainwaves. But other than that, for all intents and purposes, Opal Koboi was no more. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 9c4391f | The commander had decided to take offense at the fact that the first female officer in Recon's history had been assigned to his squad. Recon was a notoriously dangerous posting with a high fatality rate, and Root didn't think it was any place for a girlie. Well, he was just going to have to get used to the idea, because Holly Short had no intention of quitting for him or anybody else. | Eoin Colfer | ||

| 1a0ffda | Don't think about it, Holly told herself. Don't think about the white-hot magma flow that's going to engulf this tiny craft. Don't think about hurtling toward the surface with a MACH 2 force trying to turn you inside out. And certainly don't think about the blood-crazed troll ready to disembowel you with his tusks. Nope. Don't think about any of that stuff... Too late. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 1888712 | Here we go again, boys. Off on another adventure. This time busting Riley's brother out of prison. There will be danger; there will be spills and thrills. There will be knives and there will be guns and there will be people saying stupid things at the worst possible time." "Probably me!" said Bob cheerfully. "So we need a motto, something to keep us going when the odds are against us." "Like ?" asked Riley. "No, not like that. And thanks f.. | Eoin Colfer | ||

| 935fadd | One: listen to your commander--he is always right. Two: ignore all hunches, unless suggested by your commander, who is always right. Three: if in doubt, call your commander. The one who is always right. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 009b203 | Opal giggled. For someone, who never smiled, he had a delicious sense of humor. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 551858f | According to the Book, they had once been equipped with wings of their own, but evolution had stripped them of this power. All but the sprites. One school of thought believed that the People were descended from airborne dinosaurs. Possibly pterodactyls. Much of the upper-body skeletal structure was the same. This theory would certainly explain the tiny nub of bone on each shoulder blade. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| b157c1f | So even though his involvement with the goblin uprising during his fourteenth year was to be traumatic, terrifying, and dangerous; it was probably the best thing that could have happened. At least he spent some time outdoors and got to meet some new people. It's a pity most of them were trying to kill him. | sarcasm | Eoin Colfer | |
| 22a3157 | But as time went by, fewer camera crews turned up at the gates each morning. After all, how many hours of drooling can an audience be expected to sit through? Gradually the LEP crews were downsized from a dozen to six and finally to a single officer per shift. Where could Opal Koboi go? the | Eoin Colfer | ||

| d868232 | Du hast ja keine Ahnung, was du getan hast. Die beiden Welten auf diese Weise zusammenzubringen, konnte uns alle ins Ungluck sturzen." "Uns alle interessiert mich nicht, mir geht es nur um mich. Und glauben Sie mir, Captain, mir wird nicht das Geringste passieren." | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 195589a | Artemis was propped on his elbows. "You hit me," he said in disbelief." -- | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 3ef9dc6 | A sprite came into my office the other day, and he had a bunch of microscopic hoop-worm larvae wriggling around his armpit. What is wrong with people? | Eoin Colfer | ||

| ba1c690 | suplexed a particularly impudent pizza boy. The suplex, Artemis gathered, was a wrestling move. An unusual obsession for a teenage girl. But then again she was, after all, a Butler. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 04ccfd6 | The lucky ones hit partitions and went straight through. The unlucky ones collided with solid cinderblock walls. Things broke. Not the cinderblocks | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 6fefdc8 | Sometimes, Spiro missed the times when a troublesome worker would be thrown out a high window and that was the end of him. These days, if you threw someone out of a window, they'd phone their lawyer on the way down. | Eoin Colfer | ||

| 5b0a136 | And suddenly I was afraid. My father, the man whose shoes I had been trying to fill for two years, was awake. Would he still live up to my expectations? Would I live up to his? | family relationship | Eoin Colfer | |
| caafafc | Artemis hooked the speaker over one ear, adjusting the mike stem so it wound across his mouth. 'Foaly? Are you listening?' 'Are you kidding?' came the reply. 'This is better than human soap operas. | funny soap-operas | Eoin Colfer | |

| 5e2ac10 | That's not how it works, Foaly. Consultants don't give orders to captains." "We have a Koboi sighting coming through on a satellite. It's a live feed," countered the technical consultant. "We're on our way," said Holly, severing the connection." | Eoin Colfer | ||
| b87ca2e | It was impressive, but, pretty much like the man with the exploding head, it was a one-time trick. When | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 460380c | For almost a year, Opal Koboi had languished in the padded-cell wing of the J. Argon Clinic, showing no response to the medical warlocks who tried to revive her. In all that time, she spoke not a single word, ate not a mouthful of food, and exhibited no response to stimuli. At first the authorities were suspicious. It is an act! they declared. Koboi is faking catatonia to avoid prosecution. But as the months rolled by, even the most skeptic.. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 5acf477 | Wasn't there a plasma cannon back here somewhere?" "No. You donated that to the orphanage." Foaly did not waste time wondering why he would have donated a plasma cannon to an orphanage but instead kept digging through the junk in the van." | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 5de2738 | It was a smart move. | Eoin Colfer | ||
| 8f330dd | Exactly, Artemis," confirmed the bodyguard. "Or, as we used to say in the Delta: we are running blindfolded into the kill box." Artemis's face fell. Kill box? Holly shot Butler a withering glance. Nicely put, big guy. Artemis's family lives in that kill box." | Eoin Colfer | ||
| a68f43c | You're not a lawyer, are you?' asked the nurse suspiciously. 'One of those geniuses who gets a degree while they're still in nappies?' Artemis sighed. 'A genius, yes. A lawyer, hardly. I am, mademoiselle, a customer.' And suddenly the nurse was all charm. 'Oh, a customer! Why didn't you say so? I'll show you right in. Would sir care for tea, coffee or perhaps something stronger?'
