1 " I’m busy, you’re busy, everybody’s busy. I’ve got a lot I want to say to you, though.” “All right,” Pia told her. “Hit me with it.” “First, I’m so sorry about what my uncle Urien did to you guys. I hate him, he killed my family, and we’re going to cut off his head, and then I have to be Queen, but before that happens let’s do lunch, okay? "

2 " Jamie came back to the apartment one night to find her spreading a viscous fluid onto a canvas. It was threaded wtih blood. " Good God," he said. " What the hell is that?" Pia didn't bother to look up but continued to knead the clear slime across the canvas. " It's my new piece." " But what is it?" He kept pointing. He'd never seen something so disgusting in his life. And her hands were completely in it. " It's Jodie's placenta. She gave it to me. I'm going to tack it up and let it dry on this canvas. Then I'm gonna glue-gun pictures of dead fetuses onto Lucite and make them the centerpeice." " Uh huh." She raised her sticky hands to him. " It's about women, you know? The way that the world opresses them, all right? And it's about babies, and . . . I don't know . . . I just got the placenta today." " Wow, that's wow . . . that's . . ." No words for this. He scratched his chin as she spread her hands in a concentric motion across the canvas. " So, do you really think anyone's gonna want to put that up on their wall when it's done?" he asked. She scowled, displeased. "

3 " Behold the Power of the peanut. His body mass may be small, but his influence is mighty. The last holdout in the Tower has officially fallen to him.
(Said by Pia about the effect her son 'peanut' had on the Sentinel Aryal) "

4 " Giving him a grateful nod, Graydon turned away.
A heavy hand fell on his shoulder, causing him to stop in his tracks. Dragos' grip clenched, almost to the point of pain.
Normally, Dragos was not demonstrative with anyone other than Pia and Liam. Moved, Graydon angled his face away. After a moment, he reached up to grip the other man's hand in return. Only then did Dragos' hold ease and allow him to continue on his way. "

5 " Tiago turned to survey the large, crowded ballroom. " Good job not killing anybody." " That's what Pia said," Dragos told him. " Night's not over yet. "

6 " Kids these days," Dragos said quietly. " They grow up so fast." " Supersonic fast," Pia said just as quietly. "

7 " He had taken to asking himself WWPD? (What Would Pia Do?) "

8 " ... the only thing that makes life worthwhile is loving orher people and being loved by them. - Pia Obrian "

― Susan Mallery , Finding Perfect (Fool's Gold, #3)

9 " Lazareff believed that " a journalists first duty is to be read," but Camus felt it was to tell the truth as much as possible, with as much style as possible. Camus saw " Lazareffism" as unacceptable journalism, a mixture of political submissiveness, raw crime, and nonsense. Pia and Camus hated the spineless large-circulation press, which followed orders and catered to its readers' lower instincts. "

10 " At school, the news that Pia Kolvenbach was moving to England and that her parents were divorcing had circulated with lightening speed. Suddenly I was no longer ostracized for being the Potentially Exploding Girl, but the new attention was worse. I could tell that the girls who sidled up to me and asked with faux-sympathetic smiles whether it was true were doing it on the basis of discussions they had heard between their own parents, to who they would report back like scouts. Soon there would be nothing left of me at all, nothing real: I would be a walking piece of gossip, alternatively tragic and appalling and, worse of all, a poor thing. "
