| fd933c5 | And our very few intimacies were simply discontinued. Where did they go, those things we did? Were they recycled? | Miranda July | ||
| be3ce97 | She fired him on the spot--her face shaking with regret about things she had not nipped while they were still in the bud. | Miranda July | ||
| 96fcb4e | Except she wasn't like a husband from the 1950s because she didn't bring home the bacon. | Miranda July | ||
| 4d03f44 | My voice was low and formal. I sounded like a wooden father from the 1800s. | Miranda July | ||
| a1cd707 | That's what made the panics about huge zero-day security ruptures such a fright: the sudden knowledge that everything might have been auto-pwned by a random crim or asshole who used a skin-detection algorithm to catch you masturbating, keywords to flag your embarrassing conversations, harvesting your biometrics for playback attacks on your finances and social nets. | Cory Doctorow | ||
| b79cd14 | Are you . . . a policeman? | James Tiptree Jr. | ||
| a48576d | Well, what brand of water do you drink?" "Just what was in the faucet, sir," says Delphi humbly. "I--I did try to boil it--" "Good God." | James Tiptree Jr. | ||
| f46659a | With your hand controlling all the input and your eye reading all the response you can make them a god . . . and somebody'll do the same for you. | James Tiptree Jr. | ||
| a33e24c | A big, complicated, fast marriage like ours is just like those big fast delicate motors--it's 25% of the time in the shop. | Julie Phillips | ||
| d957f1f | If you wanted your bug fixed, you should really check it in depth. | Cory Doctorow | ||
| 26f2de3 | You might as well sell yourself to slavery at once, as marry man you dislike. | Anne Brontë | ||
| 143c752 | I'd rather be like myself, bad as I am. | Anne Brontë | ||
| f8fce02 | The prospect of a German invasion of Britain in 1940 forced the Abwehr to mount a desperate effort to make up for lost time and infiltrate spies into England. Of the twenty-one agents they landed on British soil, all but one were either captured or gave themselves up. The exception committed suicide. | Hervie Haufler | ||
| e246b34 | There is perfect love in heaven! | Anne Brontë | ||

| adf629e | It is deeds not words which must purchase my affection and esteem. | Anne Brontë | ||
| 8719995 | I joked back in the summer of 2011 that what we really need right now is a fake threat of alien invasion that leads to massive spending on anti-alien defense | Paul Krugman | ||
| a994384 | It is a troublesome thing this susceptibility to affronts where none are intended. | Anne Brontë | ||
| de8e21c | Nicholas pulled back slightly but his gaze stayed scorchingly fastened on Lucy, even when he spoke. "Aggie, go beat someone up." "I already did." She absolutely, positively would not blush. The front door slammed open. "Or Cal did. . And something else beat up Fletcher. He's in the living room." Nicholas pushed away from Lucy. "You know, most people collect stray dogs, not rabid homicidal teenagers." "But I don't know anything about dogs,".. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 4914b18 | Turn your weaknesses into strengths, that's what Oliver was always telling us. Currently, my weakness was a rock digging into by backside. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 76d6587 | I don't need a babysitter." She huffed. "I can take care of myself." "No, you can't," Sky and I both replied together. I'd been saying the same thing to Solange and Lucy since they were barely old enough to talk. She glowered at us both and folded her arms. Lucy once poured honey all over my favorite bike; a little glower didn't faze me." | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 8af384a | Let us all be happy and live within our means, even if we have to borrer [sic] money to do it with. | Artemus Ward | ||
| 61fa00d | I wanted to save him from my mother." "She told me there was blood in the basement fridge if I was thirsty. Your mom rocks." "Yeah, wait until she tells Nicholas that being the bloodsucking undead doesn't excuse him from family dinners or safe sex." Solange choked. "She wouldn't." Our glances met. "She totally would." "Yup," I said." | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 9d2edce | Sometimes fighting petty was better than not fighting at all, | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 14d488d | We walked the circuit, passing the food stands frying funnel cakes and burgers, and the game booths, ceilings bristling with giant, multicolored stuffed animals. I paused in front of the crossbow game. Nicholas cocked an eyebrow. "Want me to win you a stuffed bunny?" "Ha." I rubbed my hands together. "I'll win my own stuffed bunny, thanks very much." Nicholas passed the attendant a few dollars to pay for my turn. "I guess it's nice to see y.. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 657d685 | It was a reasonable assumption on my part.' 'Your assumptions stop being reasonable when they come from fear instead of facts. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| c9f6963 | Well, she's saving your butt from being sent back to New York, so play nice." "I am playing nice," Aggie insisted. "For someone raised by wolves." | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 7038a04 | Growing up with the Drakes does have its advantages, even though someone's always trying to kill me. And plus we were kissing at the time." "When you kissing?" Quinn teased. "When I'm punching you," I shot back with a grin." | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 38828e9 | Do you think Kieran thinks I did it?" "No, of course not. But speaking of which, has he called you yet?" "No." "Have you called him?" "No." "Are you both doing this on purpose to make me nuts?" "Oh, right, like that's our fault," she scoffed. "You were born that way. Too much tofu." I smiled. "I miss you, fangface." "Me too." "Enough to call Kieran?" | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 8ae2a31 | At least three of the girls in the front row were already whispering behind their hands. When Quinn winked at them, they started giggling. Lucy shook her head. "The Drake brothers, making girls stupid since 2002." The eldest of the brothers, Sebastian, had turned sixteen in 2002, and changed into a vampire, as all Drakes did. Even without the famous vampire pheromones, they were dangerous. "Please. I was born pretty." And they knew it." | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 782a3ee | Not a woman, Gretchen corrected herself, a spirit. She glowed violently, outlined in frozen moonlight and fire. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 355cd29 | A kiss implied an introduction, a kind of conversation unwinding between two people. Usually two people who could actually stand each other's company. This was like being thrown into the middle of the ocean when you'd never even set foot into a creek before. He spun me around, pressing me against the stone wall as if even gravity was too much of an interruption, as if he couldn't spare a single scrap of energy for standing, not when he coul.. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 183752e | She held a pink mug filled with blood, like Cal, Noah, and Nicholas. Lucy designated all pink mugs for blood consumption. She claimed it was not only sanitary to separate dishes, but that a vampire's worst problem was a tendency to brood. And it was hard to brood properly while holding a pink mug. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| f833398 | I was going to see if you wanted to join. I think it would be good to have your perspective, just coming into the school and everything. You might see stuff we don't even notice anymore." "You mean other than the fact that I'm surprised you guys don't run around in black capes and call each other Van Helsing?" "Yes." She rolled her eyes. "Other than that." | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| d4d889a | Hunter had inherited her grandfather's house after he died at the Battle of Violet Hill. She'd spent weeks finding and dismantling all of the hidden anti-vampire booby traps. Quinn didn't find the second holy water dispenser until he took a shower and nearly died. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| cffd377 | We're never alone," he said, kissing her ear slowly, until she shivered. "You've stuffed the farm full of crazy people." "You should be used to that. It's how you grew up." She leaned into him. "And I hate to say it but we're not alone now. Security cameras, remember?" She waved at one of them just as the front door opened. "Get a room, you two," Quinn grinned." | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| af49fd0 | I sweated blood running laps in this evil gym," Lucy replied. "Besides, uniforms give me hives. You know that. Where's the creativity?" "It was banned after you went through all the gym lockers and decorated everyone's stakes and school T-shirts with rhinestones." "I was expressing myself. It's healthy." The school board had considered it vandalism. Whatever." | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| c0c51f5 | Hunter was adding another log to the fireplace in the living room. Lucy handed her a small package. "I made you guys something." Hunter pulled off the wrapping to reveal a small vampire Santa felt doll, complete with red hat and fangs. She shook her head, laughing. "You're the one who keeps sneaking these into the Christmas garlands at the academy. I should have known." "You really should have," Lucy agreed. "She made the delinquents help h.. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 23d6ca8 | I'll drive you back home," Dad said, releasing a trembling breath. "I'll write you a note for your exam." I wrinkled my nose. "I don't think killing a vampire will get me out of an exam on killing vampires." | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 243ea3c | The sun has a right to "set" where it wants to, and so, I may add, has a hen. | Artemus Ward | ||
| 06b5b67 | The female woman is one of the greatest institooshuns of which this land can boste. | Artemus Ward | ||
| 6baed81 | And why exactly have you been staring at me all day? Didn't you parents teach you manners? Are you not even a little bit housebroken?" "They're still on the rez on the other side of the mountains. It's a little far for family dinners." I stared at him, then sighed, thoroughly disgruntled. "Well, damn it." "What?" "Now I have to invite you to my house for the next holiday so you're not alone and I don't even you." He just blinked. "You kno.. | Alyxandra Harvey |
