22 " Don't do this to yourself," he said. "It's a cycle, Kate. We fight for the Pack, they fight for us. We bleed, they bleed. Sometimes people die. Everyone who came with me came of their own free will. The knew where we were going. They all knew there was a good chance that not everybody would make it out. This isn't the first fight or the last. People will sacrifice themselves for us again, and we'll do the same. I don't know how bad the future will be, but I promise you, we'll deal with it. You and I. Together. "

30 " If he insults you, I’ll cut his head off and you can drink his blood. "
31 " Hello, Consort,’’ Mauro boomed. He got to his feet, spread his arms, and curtsied. "
32 " Cuddles screamed. It wasn’t a braying noise, it was an ear-slapping shriek of pure donkey outrage, like someone got hold of a foghorn and tried to strangle it. "
33 " On Harpy’s Drive we passed a row of trees, each one with its trunk unnaturally bloated and covered with black fuzz. I had no idea what the fuzz did, but we steered clear of it. The law of navigating post-Shift Atlanta was simple: if you don’t know what it is, don’t touch it. "
34 " If he ever frosted his hair blue, he’d look like a gas burner. "
35 " Honey, we can fill this place with what we know and you don’t. "
36 " I can’t wait to see a pack of bunnycats take down a wild hog with those short tiny legs. Wouldn’t the boar be surprised? "
37 " If they try, I’ll eat them first. "
38 " Breathing is like riding a bicycle. "
39 " I’m a bastard but even I don’t kill my own people, unless it’s absolutely necessary. "
