81 " And I thought about how many people have loved those songs. And how many people got through a lot of bad times because of those songs. And how many people enjoyed good times with those songs. And how much those songs really mean. I think it would be great to have written one of those songs. I bet if I wrote one of them, I would be very proud. I hope the people who wrote those songs are happy. I hope they feel it's enough. I really do because they've made me happy. And I'm only one person. "

83 " As Steve draws me closer to the band, all I can see is a frenzied mass of seething, writhing people, like a many-headed sea snake, grinding, waving their arms, stamping their feet, jumping. No rules, just energy - so much energy, you could harness it; I bet you could power Portland for a decade. It is more than a wave. It's a tide, an ocean of bodies. "

― Lauren Oliver , Hana (Delirium, #1.5)

85 " Rupert: " ... At this rate, somebody is bound to upset the Warlock once too often, and we'll end up with a Court full of bemused looking toads." " He wouldn't dare use his magic here," said the Champion." Don't bet on it," said Rupert. " The High Warlock has all the practicality and self-preservation instincts of a depressed lemming. "

86 " Am I supposed to feel so much awe and so on about the Godking? After all, he's just a man ... He's about fifty years old, and he's bald. And I'll bet he has to cut his toenails too like any other man. I know perfectly well he's a god, too. But what I think is, he'll be much godlier after he's dead. "

― Ursula K. Le Guin , The Tombs of Atuan (Earthsea Cycle, #2)

87 " …I bet I’ll haunt your dreams tonight. I just wan’ed to paint a picture in your head. I wan’ed you to see me as the monster I can often be. You see, you are what you allow people to know ‘bout you. Truth or lies or some combination of the two, is what makes you who you are. So, you don’t know me yet. But what I need you to know about me for now, is that I can’t be trusted. "

― S.R. Crawford , Ash Born (Book 1 Eternity Series)

88 " Bett didn't have any siblings because she said her father had preserved what was dead for too long to be able to create life. When Bet was younger and had begged for one, her father gave her a marmot he' stuffed for a man from Wyoming." This is your brother Christopher," he'd said, placing the marmot on Bett's pillow one night. " He doesn't talk much, so you'll have to pick up the slack there. "

89 " Someday, I'm going to have to break some of your rules, Mom." " I know," she said. " Try to do it behind my back, will you?¨You can bet on that, Mom.¨We both sat there and laughed. "

90 " Can I tell you a boring science fact?" she whispered. " I bet you didn't learn it in Shadowhunter history class." " If you're trying to distract me from talking about my feelings, you're not being very subtle about it." He touched her face. " You know I make speeches. It's okay. You don't have to make them back. Just tell me you love me," " I'm not trying to distract you." She held up her hand and wiggles the fingers. " There are a hundred trillion cells in the human body," she said. " And every single one of the cells of my body loves you. We shed cells, and grow new ones, and my new cells love you more than the old ones, which is why I love you more every day than I did before. It's science. And when I die and they burn my body and I become ashes that mix with the air, and part of the ground and the trees and the stars, everyone who breathes air of sees the flowers that grow out of the ground or looks up at the stars will remember you and love you, because I love you that much," She smiled. " How was that for a speech? "

91 " They want to control humankind through what they call selective breeding. The Nazis started it, but now the nwo are continuing it. See, the only way to control population is to first get it back down to manageable size. They're culling the herd, same way the game commission does when deer population gets out of control. That's why we've got diseases like cancer and aids. You telling me that we can put a little goddamn skateboard-looking robot on Mars and have it send pictures back, but we can't find a cure for cancer? There's a cure. You can bet on that, boys. There's a goddamn cure. They just won't release it because cancer helps cut down the population. "

93 " Only a bet on the impossible makes sense. It is an act of faith and courage requiring an irrational leap over reason. A man wins simply by making such a bet. "

― William Kennedy , Roscoe

94 " Concerning this a man once said:Why such reluctance? If you only followed the parables
you yourselves would become parables and with that rid of all your daily cares.
Another said: I bet that is also a parable.
The first said: You have won.
The second said: But unfortunately only in parable.
The first said: No, in reality; in parable you have lost. "

96 " Mmmm I like the sounds you're making," he murmured in a honeyed whisper. " I just bet that you're a screamer. Should I have brought earplugs?Kurt Nielsen "

97 " Men pretend to be “just a friend” at first, even though they want to sleep with you from day one. Otherwise they wouldn't be spending any time, money or attention on you, because these are limited resources and they need these resources to attract a mate. They can't afford to squander them. So they apply these resources to the female that looks to be their best bet to get laid. But they also know that they can't tell the woman on day one that they want to sleep with her, because she'd think it's creepy. So they play along with the illusion that it's “just a friendship” that “suddenly” developed into more, when the woman finally feels inclined to sleep with the guy “because they have a deep connection.” But that was really his goal from day one. "

99 " Look here, Mrs. Bradley," he said. " I feel a pretty frightful bounder telling you all this about the poor girl, but I think some woman ought to know about it. On Wednesday night, yes, last night, Eleanor came into my bedroom at about half-past twelve and--and wanted to stay there! I thought it was a ghost at first. I had terrible difficulty in getting rid of her. In fact, I had to get out of bed and shove her outside and lock the door. Choice, isn't it?" ..." Of course you will lock your door tonight," she said." You bet I shall," Bertie said fervently, " and nothing short of the house catching fire is going to persuade me to open it. "
