1 " FRANCISCUS: How sweetly she looks! Oh, but there's a wrinkle in her brow as deep as philosophy. "
― Thomas Middleton , The Changeling
2 " I can't believe this heat," Abbey said, taking her tunic and pulling it over her head. Underneath was a form-fitting top that showed a figure unaccustomed to idleness or excess. Kip stared at her the way he had at the shiney curves of the steel horse back in the garage. " Can you imagine what it must have been like hundreds of years ago, when weather changed just a few times a year?" she said, wiping sweat from her brow with the back of her hand. " Yeah, it must have looked great," Kip said. " What do you mean looked great?" Abbey said, turning her eye on Kip. " Must have been great, like you said," he corrected. "
3 " She is a woman of honour and smartness whose wild leaves out luck, always taking risks, and there is something in her brow now, that only she can recognize in a mirror. Ideal and idealistic in that shiny dark hair! People fall in love with her. She is a woman I don’t know well enough to hold in my wing, if writers have wings, to harbour for the rest of my life. "

4 " The fact that you can't see how much you're worth makes you worth so much more." She opened her mouth once, her brow bunched, but nothing came out. She didn't know the words to ask. I continued. " A diamond doesn't know how much it's worth; it's just beautiful because it exists. "
5 " Eww," Jack said, and then giggled. " Yeah, and a Paris Hilton doll that had an optional brain." Aphrodite raised her brow at him. " Don't go all crazy. There are some things even Paris Hilton can't buy. "
6 " I haven't done anything you're supposed to do. Like get so drunk you puke and don't remember the rest of the night." " Overrated, I swear." She looked at me, that deadly look on her face, and I held up my hands. " Fine. You wanna get drunk and puke, I'm not gonna stop you." " But I want to do, like more than just drinking." Her brow furrowed and I could practically see the wheels in her brain spinning. " I should make a list and outline a plan." I was going to point out that list-making wasn't the best way to let loose, but I decided to let it go. "
7 " Are you all right? With your Guild, I mean?" Alain considered the question. " They suspect me of being attracted to a Mechanic. They are right, but so far lack proof. They do not suspect that I love you, or who you are, but I have no doubt of what they will do if they discover either of those things." " Oh, blazes." Mari lowered her head to rest her brow against the cool stone of the fortification. " I have ruined your life." " You have given me back my life. "
8 " I found the only place I ever wanted to live again in this girl, right her in my arms. I leaned back just barely, ran my thumb from her brow o the tip of her nose and stopped at her lips, loving the way her eyes fluttered. “I’ll always come to you. "

9 " Fearghus watched his mate a moment longer. It had been five years since he last saw her. Five years since he last touched her, kissed her, fucked her, saw her smile, told her to calm down, yanked a weapon from her hands before she hurt someone, or stopped her from getting in a pit brawl with her own daughter. It had been too long since he’d done all that and it was a bit overwhelming to be here now, so close to her after all this time.Annwyl slammed her spear into another Sovereign, then leaned against it, wiping her brow with the back of her hand and looking out over all the bodies she and her troops had left behind.She looked rather proud. "
10 " Traigh came to help her dismount, a broad smile making creases around his eyes. “I fear ye missed our summer, Joie.” Her brow drew in with confusion. “But it is summer, Traigh,” she told him. “Aye, it might well be summer elsewhere in the world, but here, it only last three days. We had our summer last week. "
