| a2d91f2 | Kate has been in here every few days for the past eighteen months or so. Helped him behind the counter on many occasions. They flirt shamelessly with each other, and threaten to leave me and Amelia behind so that they can run off to Niagara Falls together. Jess has asked about Kate each time I've stopped by the past few days. | splinter the-chronos-files | Rysa Walker | |
| c23d58f | Kate, please. You have to focus. I've pulled up a stable point, love. Just slide your fingers over it and go. I'll be right behind you. I promise." That promise is a lie in one sense, but hopefully, she'll never know it. Six will be there." | splinter the-chronos-files | Rysa Walker | |

| b645849 | I'd like to think those laws will be overturned, but the Supreme Court is as useless as tits on a bull these days. | Rysa Walker | ||
| d3c9a69 | You'll always have discontents in any system, Kate. Some people feel they're being oppressed or held back, even if they have everything they need or everything that a reasonable person could want. Some people always want more. | Rysa Walker | ||

| bc81809 | Things that are different, things that don't fit into our own typical surroundings, do tend to set off some sort of subliminal trigger in most people. Your pulse beats faster, you become more aware of your environment, more in touch with your fight-or-flight response. | Rysa Walker | ||
| 183f721 | humans have failed to protect the Planet, the Planet shall protect itself. | Rysa Walker | ||
| 26d3144 | There's a valid point somewhere beneath the layers of insanity. But most of the things you described are... incremental evils, if that makes sense. The mistakes of one generation build upon the mistakes of the next and you get a society that no one really wanted. | Rysa Walker | ||

| c3d897a | You look very librarian." He's right. The blue dress falls just below the knee and is probably the frumpiest-looking thing I've ever worn, but at least it's loose enough that I can fight in it if I have to." | Rysa Walker | ||
| 28ac976 | if you ignore it when they're taking rights from everyone else, pretty soon they'll come after yours, and there's no one left to protest. | Rysa Walker | ||
| fa0dc28 | I think it's important to know you're wanted, maybe even needed, don't you? Gives you somethin' to hold on to when you're off in a strange place. Kinda like you are now, right, child? | Rysa Walker | ||

| e4147c7 | attached without a problem, but I didn't notice any change. "Is it supposed to do something?" Katherine opened the journal and tapped" | Rysa Walker | ||

| 3d68f8a | How much time is wasted today training children to perform a variety of skills that they not only will never use but would never even consider using? | Rysa Walker | ||
| 537d580 | Maybe Eve should never have plucked the damn apple from the tree...or maybe Adam should have had the balls to pluck it first. Maybe we should never have split the atom...or maybe we should have wiped out all our enemies when we were the only ones who had the bomb. You can go round and round, but none of this matters once the genie is out of the bottle. | Rysa Walker | ||

| ddcbee0 | He'll sit stock still for hours if there's something to occupy his mind--something loud and blaring, like a computer game or an action movie. But sit still and read a book? Or just look at the stars? I've known him since he was nine and I've never seen that happen for more than five minutes straight. | Rysa Walker | ||
| 419e1f7 | having the wisdom to tell what you can't change from what you can? | Rysa Walker | ||
| 199d01d | Trey grabs my hand across the table, lacing our fingers together. "Okay, what I said back there in the garage? I meant it. We have to find some way to make this work. And I think doing that is going to require complete honesty and openness on both sides. Shall I start?" | Rysa Walker | ||
| eda3e45 | The heel of my white kidskin boot ripped a six-inch gash in the hem of my skirt as I whipped around the corner. | Rysa Walker | ||
| cd0a698 | I darted across the hallway and took a left at the next intersection, hoping that the doctor would assume that I'd taken the quicker, easier turn to the right. | Rysa Walker | ||
| 66f9f72 | Hello," he said. "Tom?" A whoop of joy. "Alice, where are you? Are you all right?" "Never better, Tom. And you?" | Mary Higgins Clark | ||
| 1056a59 | God, would you just come here, Kate? I'll behave, I promise. It wrecks me to see you cry and not be able to hold you. Or if you can't do that, go to him and let him hold you. I'm making a bloody mess of everything. | Rysa Walker | ||
| dfb9568 | What ladder? There's a fire escape?" I hadn't even considered that possibility--I mean, really, what homicidal maniac would include fire escapes in the design plan for his torture castle?" | Rysa Walker | ||
| 02932d9 | Aaron rolls his eyes. "You have a very possessive boyfriend." I start to correct him, but maybe having Aaron think Deo's my overprotective boyfriend is a good thing. I could say he's at the gym, lifting weights." -- | Rysa Walker | ||
| b37ccc0 | As I'm reading Katherine's historical diaries, every now and then I'll see a question that Katherine asked, like, 'Who is the Infanta?' or 'What is a simoleon?'" "In SimCity, a simoleon is money," Trey interjected." | Rysa Walker | ||

| 3cd775b | I no longer believe that there are clear sides in all of this. It's not black or white, good or evil, from where I'm standing. Here in the middle, everything looks gray. | Rysa Walker | ||
| 7b755fb | Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof. | Rysa Walker | ||
| 8f053d0 | He is, however, picturesque. The colors of the Coors Light can are an almost perfect match for the streaks of silver-white in his beard, the blue of his shirt, and the red of the baseball cap, now hanging from one rail of his rocking chair. He looks like something that Norman Rockwell might have painted if he woke up in a really pissy mood. | Rysa Walker | ||
