| df2252b | Sexual repression is conduct unbecoming a Celt." I shrugged. "Better that than having to deal with guilt ferrets." | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 8d509cb | The plan was simple. Once on the Plain of Idavoll, we were going to follow the immortal strategy of Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLoosh and "announce [our] presence with authority." | bull-durham ebbie-calvin-nuke-laloosh | Kevin Hearne | |
| a62abd3 | I wasn't ready for a fight. But as I drew even with Oberon and put a calming hand on the back of his neck, the blood drained from my face when I saw a lone figure limping toward us across the dry red rock. It looked like a little old lady, and she could not have been more out of place; it was like watching Elmo ride in to the Sturgis biker rally in South Dakota. Granuaile | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 5e44e78 | Are you telling me you're lawyer is a bloodsucking vampire? | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 0306169 | I turned my back on Coyote without saying another word. He didn't want to know what I was going to do with those granny panties. Surprisingly, Granuaile did. "Sensei, what were you going to do with those marshmallows and panties?" she whispered as we walked together. "I mean, I'm sure it had to be dire, but it just didn't sound as threatening as the potential havoc a monkey could wreak on his sack." "There was more to that recipe," I admitt.. | Kevin Hearne | ||

| 6af4b80 | when a soul turns as black as Black World, these old spirits find them a comfortin' touch of home, and if they're called to move in, they will. That's what a skinwalker is: a mean asshole with a meaner spirit squatting inside." " | Kevin Hearne | ||

| 22e21dd | What Sherlock does is train his mind to remember details, access them as needed, and then spy the hidden pattern in them. It's like spotting animals in clouds: The vapor's the same for everyone, but sometimes you're the only person who can see what's floating there, because you have the proper angle and the imagination to see it. And that's the magic of Sherlock Holmes--his talent for synthesis and discovery. Anyone can train the mind to ab.. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| f8e056e | I don't think there is one. We had our priorities straight. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| c7f8c54 | When in doubt, know your way out, I always say." "I thought you always said, 'When in doubt, blame the dark elves.' " "Well, yeah, that too." " | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 63080d5 | I jumped up and down and swore violently in seventeen languages. | humorous humorous-quotes iron-druid-chronicles | Kevin Hearne | |
| bd27e45 | Does anyone have a gun?" The looks I got in response suggested that I'd asked about something profoundly distasteful, like trickle-down economics or the poetry of William Blake." | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 421e410 | We should be going in there with a thousand naked warriors who fight like wet cats with dodgy bowels." "You can go naked if you want," the bastard says to me, ignoring my advice." -- | Kevin Hearne | ||
| c9d405b | The point is, Mrs. MacDonagh, that the universe is exactly the size that your soul can encompass. Some people live in extremely small worlds, and some live in a world of infinite possibility. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| d4ebd42 | but underneath that lurked horrors, like a syphilitic dick hidden under a blanket. | Kevin Hearne | ||

| c04ae46 | They should kick it old school with the Bard.> | Kevin Hearne | ||
| b6d771d | I thought Sundays were supposed to be relaxing. As a male citizen of America, I'm entitled on Sundays to watch athletic men in tight uniforms ritualistically invade one another's territory, and while they're resting I get to be bombarded with commercials about trucks, pizza, beer, and financial services. That's how it's supposed to be; that's the American dream. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| c2107d1 | Sophie Betsuie lost her composure and returned to the hogan, crying. She was beating herself up with a club made out of the words if only, and I knew what it felt like. If only I hadn't done this. If only someone else hadn't done that. I hoped she would learn sooner, rather than later, that you can't unchoose anyone's choices, least of all your own. All you can do with your past is try to grow out of it. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 8ff967b | But sometimes we do things that make no sense except in some arcane calculus hidden in our emotions. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 3501d71 | We should make a pit trap with spikes in the bottom. You make the pit and I'll make the spikes. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| bd022a6 | I know that when ye think o' love you're supposed to think o' kissy faces and scented soap and hummin' happy songs together, but there's another vital part to it that people rarely admit to themselves: 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. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 9159f04 | And we can seek therapy or religion to provide us relief like balm on chafed skin, but that's denying our own power to heal ourselves and trying to silence old pain with new opiates. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| c050929 | for now, bread and mead call us, appetites whetted, to witness what I have been nursing, encased in iron, licked by flame, and tended with relish. | poetic-blessings | Kevin Hearne | |
| 3579faa | T]he pain was unspeakable, worse than reading the collected works of Edith Wharton. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 7ebdfcb | They were lounging, in fact, in an almost ostentatious manner, as if to say to passersby like myself, "Look uponst my exquisite lounging, foolish mortal, and mourn that you will never lounge with such cosmopolitan savoir faire." | Kevin Hearne | ||
| c3b4cf3 | Vim a saber mais tarde que muitos homens veem sempre a boa fortuna dos outros como uma desfeita contra si proprios. | Robin Hobb | ||
| fbeec90 | Nenhum inimigo, bem sabia, e mais temivel do que aquele que ferimos gravemente. | Robin Hobb | ||
| d50a1c4 | Depois daquilo comecei a desejar esclarecer as coisas com o Bobo. Como um dente doloroso, remoi uma e outra vez o que lhe queria dizer. | Robin Hobb | ||
| 2cc9725 | An elderly diner from a neighboring table had been dying for an excuse to stare at the exotic woman with rubies around her neck, and now Laksha had provided her one by laughing so loudly. She noticed the woman's stare and waggled her finger between us and explained, "We were just talking about goatfucking." The woman's eyes bulged in shock--and so did those of her dinner companions--but rather than scold Laksha for being so rude, they hasti.. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| b76d344 | Bitch," he growls, immediately grasping for the world that most men do when they encounter a woman they can't control." | Kevin Hearne | ||
| f8fa917 | I lost somebody I loved," she whispered. "I know that doesn't make me special. Happens to everyone. She made me feel special, though, more than anyone else I'd met in five hundred years." She wiped at the tear on her cheek. "I don't know if we would have made it last forever, but damn if we weren't going to try." | Kevin Hearne | ||
| e94edc6 | Americans assert their own opinions as if they were facts and dismiss inconvenient facts as mere opinions.> | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 54aab6a | Icy glares from vampires are far icier than icy glares from people. And when the vampire giving you an icy glare is originally from Iceland, you are confronted with the archetypal origin of the term, and you shouldn't be surprised if your core body temperature drops a few degrees. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| a4202c8 | I was haunted by the ghosts of those who had trespassed against me; | Kevin Hearne | ||

| 0d7ae43 | How can one freeze and put their hands above their head at the same time? Do they teach cops to shout contradictory instructions at suspects at the academy for some sinister purpose? If I obeyed one cop, did the other cop get to shoot me for resisting arrest? | Kevin Hearne | ||
| a2b659b | Everybody's makin' too much money off oil and coal and buyin' congressmen with it to make sure it stays that way. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 40f1a1d | You must be thinking of stories from other cultures. Irish women tend to kick ass and do whatever they want. For exhibits A, B, and C, I give you the Morrigan, Brighid, and Flidais. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 9b1317f | Excellent plan. Atticus out. | Kevin Hearne | ||
| 657245a | I dispelled my invisibility for a few seconds in his full view, a finger resting provocatively on my lower lip, giving him a come-hither look under a streetlight. His jaw and the bottle of Zubrowka dropped at the same time. It shattered, drawing his eyes to the sidewalk, and I took the opportunity afforded by his distraction to disappear again. "That was mean," Oberon said, watching the man look wildly around for me and pawing at his eyes a.. | granuaile hunted kevin-hearne oberon philosophy | Kevin Hearne | |
| 368834e | Some while later Mekera found me, her face shining with joy. "Fiyori gave me her phone number! You know what this means?" "She likes you." "No! I mean yes, but it means I need to get a phone!" | Kevin Hearne |
