Knight takes Knight, I called into the cloudy night air. Check.
Kid. You just made the last mistake of your life.''God,' I said. 'I .
I’ve often wished that I had some suave and socially acceptable hobby that I could fall back on in times like this. You know, play the violin (or was it the viola) like Sherlock Holmes, or maybe twidd...
I’m dealing with a lot of scary things, she said. I think you have to react to them. And you either laugh at them or you go insane. Or you become like Martin. Shut off from everything and everyone. Tr...
I’m a pessimist of the human condition, as a rule, but contemplating the future and how the Carpenter kids could contribute to it was the kind of thought that gave me hope for us all, despitemyself.Of...
It's tough to say no to peace, to the comfort of it. All through history, people have traded wealth, children, land, and lives to buy it.But peace can't be bought, can it, chief, prime minister? The o...
It took several minutes, and when Butters woke up, Andi and Marci, both naked, both rather pleasant that way, were giving him CPR. They'd kept his body alive in the absence of his soul.Wow, Butters sl...
It must be tempered with discipline. Ferocity is useless unless employed in the proper place . . .
It didn’t smell so great, and pizza boxes and empty Coke cans had overflowed the trash can and spilled over a significant portion of the kitchen floor. You could barely walk without stepping on clothi...
Ignorance is more than bliss, it's freaking orgasmic ecstacy!
If she were in a race for her life, that roar was the starter pistol. If God were the referee, He had just shouted Go.
If a White Court vampire wants to feed off a human, all she really has to do is crook her finger, and he comes running. There isn’t any ominous music. Nobody sparkles. As far as anyone looking on is c...
I'd been to the island on most weekends up until I got shot, and Thomas had often come with me. We'd used some fresh lumber, some material salvaged from the ruined town, and some pontoons made from pl...
I was scared. Not in that half-pleasant adrenaline-charged way, but quietly scared. Wait-on-the-results-of-medical-tests scared. It’s a rational sort of fear that puts a lawn chair down in the front o...
I thought about my father. I usually do, when I get that low. He was a good man, a generous man, a hopeless loser.
I smoothed a bloodied lock of hair from her eyes and felt very tired as I said, The only people who never hurt are dead.
I should far rather be drunk than eaten, Miss Lancaster, Ferus said in a serious tone. As should we all. Very well, that’s settled.
I react badly to fear. I don’t usually have the good sense to run, or hide—I just try to smash whatever it is that is making me afraid. It’s a primitive sort of thing, and one I don’t question too muc...
I know you've been aching to have your hands on my staff, I said to Ascher, as Nicodemus examined the altar for himself. I held out my hand. But I'd rather be the one fondling my tool. Wizards are wei...
I folded my arms. I don’t usually do stakeouts.I thought it might be a nice change of pace for you. All that knocking down of doors and burning down of buildings must get tiring.I don’t always knock d...
