Midnight (Skulduggery Pleasant, #11) QUOTES

1 " trust you with my life,” Skulduggery said. “Just not necessarily my car. "

― Derek Landy , Midnight (Skulduggery Pleasant, #11)

2 " I’m not sure if I can emphasise this enough, but do not drop me. "

― Derek Landy , Midnight (Skulduggery Pleasant, #11)

3 " Just the usual,” Valkyrie said before Skulduggery could answer. “People with strange names doing strange things for strange reasons. "

― Derek Landy , Midnight (Skulduggery Pleasant, #11)

4 " For a long time, I thought the love they shared was enough to heal them both. Not of physical wounds, but the invisible wounds we all carry around with us. "

― Derek Landy , Midnight (Skulduggery Pleasant, #11)

5 " Let’s go.” He wrapped an arm round her waist. “Are you sure you don’t want to try this alone?” “If I knew I’d be able to fly, no problem,” she said. “But I told my folks I’d be there for roast dinner, and if I plunge to my death before that they’ll just think it’s rude, so …” They lifted up and drifted beyond the ledge, the world opening up beneath them. Skulduggery redirected the freezing winds so that not a single hair was disturbed on Valkyrie’s head. It was strangely quiet as they flew, surrounded by the howls and shrieks of the mountains but tucked away from it all. “The thought has occurred to me that maybe you’ll only start flying when you absolutely need to,” Skulduggery said. “Do not drop me.” “Indulge me for a moment. The range of your powers is still largely unknown to us, yes? You can fire lightning from your fingertips, you certainly have destructive potential, and you have the burgeoning psychic abilities of at least a Level 4 Sensitive. Plus, you have flown before.” “Hovering is not flying.” “I bet if I were to drop you, you’d fly.” “I’m not sure if I can emphasise this enough, but do not drop me. "

6 " I keep imagining that one of these days I’ll grow up and become someone who knows what they’re doing, but so far that hasn’t happened. "

― Derek Landy , Midnight (Skulduggery Pleasant, #11)

7 " I've always found that ex-girlfriends with bodies are better than ex-girlfriends who are just internal organs locked away in a box somewhere. But I'm old-fashioned like that. "

― Derek Landy , Midnight (Skulduggery Pleasant, #11)

8 " She wasn’t going to let the voice win today. She wasn’t going to let all those bad feelings come crashing down on her, like they had so many times in the past. She was getting better. "

― Derek Landy , Midnight (Skulduggery Pleasant, #11)

9 " That’s your first and only warning. You do that again and I’ll kill her and throw her body in a ditch. We’re going to play a little game, Valkyrie. Do you like games? I hope you do. This is a fun game. I call it Let’s Save Alice. The objective is simple. You’ve got to find her before midnight. That’s it. The rules are: you have to do this alone. Omen didn’t factor into my plans, but let’s face it – even if you take him with you, you’re still basically alone. So, when this call ends, you leave your own phone where it is, you leave those little shock sticks of yours behind, you don’t tell anyone – especially not the skeleton – and you and the Darkly boy get in your car and you drive. Are you with me so far? "

11 " The thought has occurred to me that maybe you’ll only start flying when you absolutely need to, "

― Derek Landy , Midnight (Skulduggery Pleasant, #11)

12 " It wouldn’t be imminent death, though, would it? You’d catch me. There’s no threat there. You’d save me because saving me is what you do, just like saving you is what I do. The only thing that dropping me would accomplish is to annoy the hell out of me. "

― Derek Landy , Midnight (Skulduggery Pleasant, #11)

13 " Has it occurred to you, after all these years together, that I just might not be flappable? "

― Derek Landy , Midnight (Skulduggery Pleasant, #11)

14 " Sometimes I forget that being a skeleton is unusual, "

― Derek Landy , Midnight (Skulduggery Pleasant, #11)

15 " Don’t act offended. You wear a bag on your head. "

― Derek Landy , Midnight (Skulduggery Pleasant, #11)

16 " Does this mean we’re now sharing the Bentley?” Skulduggery stiffened. “Dear me, no. Not in the slightest.” She clutched the key to her chest. “You mean I now own the Bentley? You’re giving her to me?” “OK, I’m changing my mind about this whole thing,” he said, and reached for the key. “No take backsies,” said Valkyrie, and shut the door. "

― Derek Landy , Midnight (Skulduggery Pleasant, #11)

17 " I know where there’s some blood,” Lily said. "

― Derek Landy , Midnight (Skulduggery Pleasant, #11)

19 " an elderly man with a face that longed for a beard it didn’t have. "

― Derek Landy , Midnight (Skulduggery Pleasant, #11)

20 " don’t think so. Molly and Alex are sad sometimes. Sometimes they’re not friends, and they get sad because of that. But I never get sad, even when people aren’t friends with me. "

― Derek Landy , Midnight (Skulduggery Pleasant, #11)
