1 " Why did you do this?" He was shaking. " Just tell me why." I tried to muster up some of the righteous indignation that I'd felt on Friday night as I said, " You knocked over my gravestone!" But even to my ears the words sounded tinny and pathetic.Dan's face was pale. " It was just a gravestone, Chelsea. And it was a mistake. I told you that already, and I meant it. I've never lied to you. My God, can't you tell the difference between a gravestone and a person you love? Can't you tel which one matters?" But if I had to point to the real problem in my life, it's that I've never known the difference between a gravestone and a person I love. I have never known which is which until it's too late. " All's fair in love and war," I reminded him, aiming for Tawny's tone. But my voice came out sounding just like me." Oh, yeah? And which is this?" he asked. " Love or war? "
2 " The universe contains any amount of horrible ways to be woken up, such as the noise of the mob breaking down the front door, the scream of fire engines, or the realization that today is the Monday which on Friday night was a comfortably long way off. A dog's wet nose is not strictly speaking the worst of the bunch, but it has its own peculiar dreadfulness which connoisseurs of the ghastly and dog owners everywhere have come to know and dread. It's like having a small piece of defrosting liver pressed lovingly against you. "

3 " I don’t do magic. I turn your attention back to Friday night and the big-ass sword I was carrying. My job is to run and swing. "
― Danielle Monsch , Stone Guardian (Entwined Realms, #1)
4 " This is so much like the old days. And, again, I have mixed feelings. In some ways it's good and comfortable to be fitting straight back in like I've never been away, but, on the other hand, I'm getting this constrictive feeling as well. It's the same places - like the bars and pubs on Friday night - the same people, the same conversations, the same arguments and the same attitudes. Five years away and not much seems to have changed. I can't decide if this is good or bad. "
― Iain Banks , Stonemouth
5 " I understand what's it like to work all week and on Friday night just want to go and leave your brain at the door, buy some popcorn and be thrilled by something. "
