9135912 | When you wrote yr 1st book, did U ever dream it was going to be welcomed by the world w/open arms? I didn't write it for the world. I wrote it for me. Then that's what you need to do again. Write yourself another book. But I know in my heart I'll never write anything as good as that book. [...] It doesn't matter what you write as long as you stop beating yourself up about not writing and start writing. | Teresa Medeiros | ||

9374184 | And in that single crackle of tortured electronics she had lost everything. Her comm, her lights, her limited maneuvering jets, her life support regulator, her emergency beacons. Everything. For a second her thoughts flickered to Skywalker. He'd been lost in deep space, too, awhile back. But she'd had a reason to find him. No one had a similar reason to find her. | loss luke-skywalker mara-jade star-wars | Timothy Zahn | |
93cb619 | There are three ways to take down a wild tusklan. The average hunter takes a large-bore weapon with which to shoot the animal. When it works, the method is quick and efficient. But if the first shot fails to hit a vital organ, the tusklan may be upon its attackerbfore a second shot can be aimed and fired. The wise hunter takes a smaller-bore weapon. The method is less likely to produce a first-shot kill, but the second, third, or fourth sho.. | hunting star-wars thrawn | Timothy Zahn Star Wars: Thrawn | |

d104660 | The Lady Vader has come. We would hear her words.' 'Then you will hear them in prison.' The dynast gestured, and two more of the official guard left their line, heading purposefully toward the steps. It was, Leia judged, the right moment.

ca88a5b | No, of course not,' he agreed in a tone that implied he'd heard both the words I'd said and the words I hadn't said and would be mulling them over later on his own. | Timothy Zahn | ||
0b9cc41 | What about you, Commander? Why do *you* seek higher rank?' It was a question many had asked over the years. Thrawn had asked it of himself. The answer never seemed to satisfy the questioner. 'Because there are problems that must be solved. Some cannot be solved by anyone except me. | thrawn | Timothy Zahn | |
a5f866c | You served too long under Lord Vader, Captain. I Have no qualms about accepting a useful idea merely because it wasn't my own. My position and ego are not at stake here. | heir-to-the-empire star-wars thrawn | Timothy Zahn | |
3ab1f49 | I rule the Empire now. Not some long-dead Emperor; certainly not you. the only treason is defiance of my orders. | star-wars thrawn | Timothy Zahn | |
bd6bf99 | For a long moment, they stood together in silence. Vader thought about his secret... about Thrawn's loyalty... about the Emperor's continued need for him. Perhaps the entire Empire's need for him... "Anakin Skywalker is dead," he said. Thrawn lowered his head. "I know." Vader nodded slowly. *I know.* Not *So I have heard.* Not *So I was informed.* But *I know.* "We will not speak of him again," he said.

8824106 | But she wasn't a serving girl in a Phorliss cantina this time, or a come-up flector for a swoop gang on Caprioril, or even a hyperdrive mechanic stuck in the backwater of the Ison Corridor. She was second in command to the most powerful smuggler in the galaxy, with the kind of resources and mobility she hadn't had since the death of the Emperor.

b9b378a | One whose path has taken a new turn is often initially disoriented. But as time passes, and the path continues steadily in its new direction, there is a tendency to believe that it will remain so forever, with no further turns. | Timothy Zahn | ||
c9d5259 | To some extent, the direction of one's chosen path automatically selects for the paths that may cross it. A warriors path will intersect the paths of other warriors, allies and enemies alike. A workers path will interest the paths of other workers. But as with games of cards and dice, sometimes unexpected crossings occur. Some are driven by chance, others by design, others by a change in one's goal. Some are driven by malice.

ac8f75d | Destroying your enemies--even destroying a planet--was understandable. But this wasn't simple destruction. It was annihilation; obliteration. The very fabric of the Force had been shredded.

There must have been some kind of field generated by the vessel; some kind of radiation or emission. Something that had destroyed and corrupted Qian's mind when he went to study it in person. It had affected Edan, too, though the transformation was more subtle. The batarian had begun act.. | Drew Karpyshyn | ||

45e5416 | The Neimoidian gave a long, gurgling sigh. "You're right, Des. The decision is made. Grim fate and ill fortune have conspired against you. It's not like sabacc; you can't fold a bad hand. In life you just play the cards you're dealt." | Drew Karpyshyn |
