81 " Some kids get called 'bundles of joy' or 'slices of heaven' or 'dreams come true.' We got 'the fifty-fourth generation of DNA experiments.' Doesn't have the same warm and fuzzy feel. But maybe I'm oversensitive. "

― James Patterson , Angel (Maximum Ride, #7)

82 " You know how spooky Ashwini is. She called an hour ago to tell me she has a secret stash of handheld grenade launchers she thought I might want to know about. My response was, 'What the fuck? "

― Nalini Singh , Angels' Blood (Guild Hunter, #1)

83 " It turned out I was pretty good in science. But again, because of the small budget, in science class we couldn't afford to do experiments in order to prove theories. We just believed everything. Actually, I think that class was called Religion. Religion class was always an easy class. All you had to do was suspend the logic and reasoning you were being taught in all the other classes. "

― George Carlin , Brain Droppings

84 " This is what it's all been about with you," he said in an even tone. " All the fear, allthe running. The nightmares." When she nodded, he said, " You called him the devil." " But you... married him?" " Basically? Yes." " Ceremony and everything?" She swallowed. " He tricked me into it. I-I was only sixteen." A muscle ticked in his cheek and his irises grew pale. " Then know this..." She stopped breathing." Lass, I'm about to make you a widow-- "

85 " Tayla cursed under her breath. " I was just explaining to Eidolon that Sin is a Smurfette." Wraith swung his big body around to study Sin with blue eyes that were very different from Shade's, E's. and Lore's. Sin's, too. " Nah. Smurfette is way hotter." " What the fuck is a Smurfette?" Eidolon was seriously getting annoyed now." There's this cartoon called The Smurfs," Tayla explained, slowly, as though Eidolon were the child here." They're these little blue people, and they're all male. But one day a female shows up. She shouldn't exist, but she does." Eidolon considered that for a second. " How did she get there?" " An evil wizard named Gargamel made her," Tayla said. " In a lab or something." " So you're suggesting that an evil wizard made Sin?" " Of course not, silly. I'm just saying she's a Smurfette. A lone female amongst males." Eidolon frowned. " Did the Smurfette mate with the males?" " Dude." Wraith grimaced. " It's a cartoon. "

86 " I was raised right — I talk about people behind their backs. It's called manners. "

― Kathy Griffin

87 " There was this book Dad used to read to me every night called " The Giving Tree." It was a really good book, but the back of it had a picture of the author, this guy named Shel Silverstein.But Shel Silverstein looks more like a burglar or a pirate than a guy who should be writing books for kids.Dad must have known that picture kind of freaked me out, because one night after I got out of bed, Dad said: " IF YOU GET OUT OF BED AGAIN TONIGHT, YOU'LL PROBABLY RUN INTO SHEL SILVERSTEIN IN THE HALLWAY." That really did the trick, Ever since then, I STILL don't get out of bed at night, even if I really need to use the bathroom. "

88 " Linh Cinder. Such a pleasure. My master has spoken so highly of you.”

Cinder paused and studied her again. “Who are you?”

“I’m called Darla. I am Captain Thorne’s mistress.”

Cinder blinked. “Excuse me?”

“He asked me to stay and keep watch over the vehicle,” she said. “He’s just gone inside to be heroic. I’m sure he’ll be glad to know you’re here. I believe he’s under the impression that you’re out in space somewhere. "

― Marissa Meyer , Cress (The Lunar Chronicles, #3)

89 " Pasteboard pies and paper flowers are being banished from the stage by the growth of that power of accurate observation which is commonly called cynicism by those who have not got it.... "

― George Bernard Shaw , Shaw's Music: The Complete Musical Criticism of Bernard Shaw (Volume 1: 1876-1890)

90 " The poor things keep calling in those – those pumbles, I think they're called – you know, the ones who mend pipes and things – " " Plumbers?" " – exactly, yes, but of course they're flummoxed. "

91 " When we were almost to the other campus, I felt the weird nausea hit me. I called a warning to Christian, just as a Strigoi grabbed him. But Christian was fast. Flames wreathed the Strigoi's head. He screamed and released Christian, trying frantically to put the flames out. The Strigoi never saw me coming with the stake. The whole thing took under a minute. Christian and I exchanged looks.

Yeah. We were badasses. "

― Richelle Mead , Shadow Kiss (Vampire Academy, #3)

92 " Bite me, Goth princess,” Shane called from the back. “Not literally or anything.”
“Maybe you should say that to Michael.”
“Not funny, Eve,” Michael said.
Eve raised her eyebrows and held her fingers up, measuring off about an inch. “Little bit,” she said. "

― Rachel Caine , Ghost Town (The Morganville Vampires, #9)

93 " For the record, I would like to point out that it is NOT being obsessive to memorize a boy's schedule so that you can accidentally bump into him. It is called being efficient. "

― Jess Rothenberg , The Catastrophic History of You and Me

94 " My relationship with my father had been on the proverbial fritz since the time I was fifteen and called the police to report him for child molesting. He had never molested me, but I wanted to have a party that weekend and needed him out of the house. "

― Chelsea Handler , My Horizontal Life: A Collection of One-Night Stands

95 " CUSTOMER: Do you have this children's book I've heard about? It's supposed to be very good. It's called " Lionel Richie and the Wardrobe. "

96 " Oh that looked painful," called another Puck, a little farther down. " We really need to talk about your anger-management problems. "

97 " You called me at four thirty-four....I hate four thirty-four. I think four thirty-four should be banned and replaced with something more reasonable, like, say, nine twelve. "

― Darynda Jones , First Grave on the Right (Charley Davidson, #1)

98 " I wish someone had just told me the truth right up front, as soon as I was old enough to understand it. I wish someone had just said: “Here’s the deal, Wade. You’re something called a ‘human being.’ That’s a really smart kind of animal. Like every other animal on this planet, we’re descended from a single-celled organism that lived millions of years ago. This happened by a process called evolution, and you’ll learn more about it But trust me, that’s really how we all got here. There’s proof of it everywhere, buried in the rocks. That story you heard? About how we were all created by a super-powerful dude named God who lives up in the sky? Total bullshit. The whole God thing is actually an ancient fairy tale that people have been telling one another for thousands of years. We made it all up. Like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. “Oh, and by the way … there’s no Santa Claus or Easter Bunny. Also bullshit. Sorry, kid Deal with it. "

― Ernest Cline , Ready Player One (Ready Player One, #1)

99 " I never know," Harry called to Hagrid over the noise of the cart, " What's the difference between a stalagmite and a stalactite?" " Stalagmite's got an 'm' in it," said Hagrid. "

100 " I would love to slap you right now, but I’m currently wielding a nine pound ball and I’m afraid that would be called murder. "

― Sara Wolf , Love Me Never (Lovely Vicious, #1)
