1 " You need to calm down and remember that everyone grieves differently. Doesn't mean they don't care. You don't judge people in pain, and you damn sure don't lash out at them when they've lost what Syn has! "
― Sherrilyn Kenyon , Born of Betrayal (The League: Nemesis Rising #8)
2 " The worst decisions in life we make are always the one we make out of fear. "
3 " As I've always said to Talyn, tough times never last. But tough Andarions. I learned that from watching you as a boy. Your parents, grandparents, and Keris treated you like shit and yet you never once spoke against them. You'd just lift your chin and carry on. 'Barking dogs don't bother me,' you used to say. 'Sooner or later, they reach the end of their yard and hit a fence. I'll keep going past it, and won't hear them anymore. "
4 " War, misery, and death spared no soul, and took pity on no family. "
5 " Where's Hauk?""I'm right here.""Not you, Fain. My wingman.""He's in the hallway. You know how he is about explosives.""Yeah, I do, which is why I asked. Send him on a bullshit and long errand across the station. We don't want Grandma freaking out on us."-Darling & Fain "
6 " Ah its fine. I don't mind." Hadrain sucked his breath in sharply. "Ooo, T. Have a care with that word. It always gives me chills."Talyn frowned. "What word?""Fine. I hate it.""Seriously?""Uh yeah. Are you out of your mind? I live with Jayne and two daughters. The most terrifying four-lettered-f-word a woman says in my house is 'fine.' I swear, every time I hear it, I cringe." Nero laughed. "Jayne? What have you done to my brother?"Kissing her cheek, Hadrain flashed a teasing grin. "Let me put it to you this way... God forbid anything should ever happen to her, but if it does I'm under orders to chain and lock her coffin shut during the middle of the funeral just to freak everyone out "
7 " Parenthood is an equal share of awe and ah, crap."-Galene "
8 " War's lips quivered as tears welled in his eyes. He fisted his hands in Fain's braids for comfort. 'It's Vega...she done threw me out and locked the door. She said she don't want no man around her ever again and that so long as I have a penis, I can't come in anymore. I like my penis, Paka, but I love my sister. Do I really have to choose between them? I mean, I guess I'll choose my sister, but I'd really like to keep them both if I could. "
9 " You knew, didn't you? It's why you came running in here like you did." "I didn't know it was another IED. I just knew you'd been arrested and that you were being targeted by assassins." "And you came running," Talyn repeated. "It's what I would have been doing your whole life, had I known I had you."-Talyn & Fain "
10 " Thank goodness her father isn't here. Talyn, you should warn him before Nykyrian returns that he has no sense of humor about males courting his daughter." Talyn let out an evil laugh. "Why should I? I look forward to the entertainment. Am thinking I should take odds on it." -Kiara & Talyn "
11 " Nothing's more terrifying than to know you've got family in harm's way and to not be able to get to them."-Jayne "
12 " I'm surprised your mother never turned you in.""She tried once. Nyk put the fear of the gods into her."-Galene & Fain "
13 " Damn adulthood. He wanted to send it back for a full refund. "
14 " ¨Oh goody! I can’t wait! Jayne? Can we go get slaughtered by my brother I never knew I still had? Can we please!” -Hadrian "
15 " Hadrian snorted at his misplaced humor. "Not giving up yet, Hauk. Besides, you know how much I love to live dangerously. Why else would I share a domicile with Jayne? Risking her wrath is what I do for fun." "You need to find a new hobby, my friend."-Hadrian & Fain "
16 " I wish I thought you were joking and making that up. Unfortunately, I know better. Gods you are your son's father. What did I do to deserve two of you?" Shaking her head she met Hermione's gaze. "Is it easier with human sons or males?" "Not really. I never know what horrifies me more-the stories Ryn tells me, or the ones he withholds out of respect for my maternal sensibilities, or fear of what I'll do to him should I ever learn the true nature of his innate recklessness and brazen stupidity.""For the record, its definitely the latter. "
17 " Ryn smirked at Fain. "That's my mom. Now you know why I'm still single."Hermione passed an irritated glare at her son.He gave her a charming wink. "Just like you, Mom. Independently owned and operated. "
18 " I'm just glad you're all right. And if you want to date, I promise I won't gut the little... Male."She laughed at that. " I can wait until you're ready. I don't want you in jail for it."Fain smiled. "Very well I'm told ninety is a prime dating age for a human female. "
19 " Now you feel like a wimp and I feel like a blimp. Thanks."-Mack "
20 " No matter how much we lie to ourselves about what a good person we are inside, sooner or later, we are all someone else’s nightmare. "
