"Do you know why hurricanes have names instead of numbers? To keep the killing personal. No one

cares about a bunch of people killed by a number. '200 Dead as Number Three Slams Ashore' is not

nearly as interesting a headline as 'Charlie kills 200.' Death is much more satisfying and entertaining if

you personalize it.

Me, I'm still waitin' for Hurricane Ed. Old Ed wouldn't hurt ya, would he? Sounds kinda friendly. 'Hell no,

we ain't evacuatin'. Ed's comin'!"

"You might start by thanking me."

For what? For finding something else that was so important to do that it took you all the way from

midnight on Samhain ‗til four days later to come for me? I‘m not going to thank you for saving me from

something you failed to save me from to begin with."

You look fine to me.

In fact, you‘re better than fine, aren‘t you? You walked right through my wards, without a word. Didn‘t

even leave a note by the bedside. Really,after all we shared, Ms. Lane. But do I get any thanks for doing

the

impossible and bringing you back from being Pri-ya? No. What do I get? You steal my guns."

"La rutina no está tanto en las cosas como en nuestra incapacidad para crear a cada momento un

"This is a world where everybody’s gotta do something. Ya know, somebody laid down this rule that

everybody’s gotta do something, they gotta be something. You know, a dentist, a glider pilot, a narc, a

janitor, a preacher, all that . . . Sometimes I just get tired of thinking of all the things that I don’t wanna

do. All the things that I don’t wanna be. Places I don’t wanna go, like India, like getting my teeth cleaned.

Save the whale, all that, I don’t understand that . . ."

— Charles Bukowski

"Did ya get in a couple of good swipes?" Emmett asked eagerly.

"No! Of course not!"

"No, not really? You really didnt attack him?"

"Emmett!" I protested.

"Aw, what a waste. And here you're probably the one person who could take him- since he can't get into

advantage."

"Time has no meaning in the wyldwood. Day and night don't really exist here, just light and darkness,

and they can be as fickle and moody as everything else. A "night" can pass in the space of a blink, or go



on forever. Light and darkness will chase each other through the sky, play hide-and-seek or tag or catch-

me-if-you-can. Sometimes, one or the other will become offended...and refuse to come out for an

indefinite amount of time. Once, light became so angry, a hundred years passed in the mortal realm

before it deigned to come out again. And though the sun continued to rise and set in the human world,

it was a rather turbulent period for the world of men, as all the creatures who lurked in darkness and

shadow got to roam freely under the lightless Nevernever skies."

— Julie Kagawa (The Iron Knight (Iron Fey, #4))

Just keep her safe, God. I can settle for that."

— Jana Oliver (Forsaken (The Demon Trappers, #1))
