1 " I heard ‘naked’ and ‘full of hot air.’ I try not to let that be my first impression of anyone. "
― Kathy Bryson, Fighting Mad
2 " I am always a perfect gentleman. If you ever want me to not be a perfect gentlemen, you’ll have to ask and not be crying when you do. "
3 " You are never to drive like that,” I told them. “Even if you are ever wealthy enough to own a Jaguar. "
4 " How would we get corporate sponsorship if we were just a bunch of thugs? "
5 " I love the man,” Megan said as she took a seat, “but honestly he needs to learn when not to agree with me. "
6 " That’s the problem! She doesn’t say anything. She just stares at me like she’s hypnotized, like she thinks I’m a god, but then she runs off squeaking if I try to talk to her.”“I don’t squeak,” I protested. “Maybe she’s not looking at you like you’re a god. Maybe she thinks you’re more of a freak,” Fergus mused.“I’m not a freak.” Murphy jerked his head as if dodging a fly or tossing his hair. “It’s definitely a ‘you’re a god’ look. She practically drools. "
7 " I’m an ass,” the voice on the phone said. “A complete and total ass. "
8 " It was a sign of how worried and confused I was that I wasn’t completely distracted by the sight of his powerful thighs flexed in front of me. "
9 " Leprechauns are not twee beings dreamed up by the tourist board, but warriors of legend. That name comes from the Celtic god of commerce and war, Lugh. Their mission, their life’s work, is to protect the gold. What better way to hide it than to become a joke, a story nobody takes seriously? "
10 " Jinx, I know you just lost your grandfather, but you straighten out your tone right now or I will smack you one! "
11 " Ah, that’s just sean nós singing and dancing. Something to do around the pub of an evening. "
12 " Don’t know what I’m talking about? Don’t know what I’m talking about!” My shout hit notes that normally only Wagnerian sopranos can reach. “You think you’re a freaking leprechaun, but I don’t know what I’m talking about? "
13 " No, really,” she said. “We get it. Sometimes the guy just makes you crazy, even if you do love him. "
14 " You could have agreed to disagree,” Megan argued. “Then you could kiss and make up. That could be fun. "
15 " A country road, a gravel road, is a sign of civilization, sure, but it’s just a farm, an easy conquest. Iron means a stronghold, people who can defend what’s theirs. "
16 " You can’t have it both ways. Either I’m Irish and can talk, or I’m a man and I can’t. "
17 " Mr. Jennings is the one who trapped the fairies here to begin with. If they’re back and wandering around, if they’re loose, then, well, it’s not good. "
18 " That’s not Eire. Everyone always thinks that, but we’re not shamrocks and wee men. You should know the difference. "
19 " Murphy didn’t appear to notice my chagrin, but instead pulled up the hem of his long-sleeved tee to wipe at his face. Since he flashed his sculpted abdominals right at me, I grew hot and flushed. I mean, you could see every dip and curve, including the ones on either hip that made a V to lead the eye to the fly of his jeans. "
20 " Everyone helping out was supposed to make me feel better, but it actually made me feel more like a screw up. "
