Lunch, Ms. Baylor. Concentrate. Pick a place. You seem to be under the impression that I work for you and you can give me orders. Let me fix that. I hung up.
Love and hate are both means of emotional control to which we subject ourselves. Once you were done with me, you’d want to be free of the pain of betrayal. Absolutely free.
Life is trade; we trade our labour for its fruit, we trade hours of study for knowledge, we trade pleasure for pleasure or sometimes for wealth, security, or offspring.
Let me help, he said. You've been taught all your life that killing another person is wrong, and that belief persists even in the fact of facts. Not only would Peaches have killed us given the chance,...

I’m sorry I wasn’t there.I’m not upset that you weren’t there. I was doing my job. I don’t blame you for anything, Connor. Except not telling me that you had a lead. That wasn’t cool. I lowered my voi...
I’m going to punch you in the arm, I growled. We can get you a throne with snakes. I’ll stand next to you and roar at anybody who fails to grovel. Fear Kate Daniels. She is a mighty and terrible ruler...
