1 " Best to have only a few absolutely perfect trait - for example, my hair and eyes and sparkling personality - so you don't overwhelm. "
― Kiersten White , Endlessly (Paranormalcy, #3)
2 " Don't go alone," Lend said, his voice tight with concern. "I'll take Jack." "Oh, wonderful, take the other psychotic guy in your life to go find the first one. "
3 " I kind of wish they’d shut up,” Jack said.“Dude, true dat,” Lend answered.Jack nodded solemnly. “For serious. "
4 " We've got a problem!" I shouted."No, I heard that. I mean, what's the problem now?""I have the solution!" Jack interrupted."What?" I sat up, all ears."Bells!""What?" Lend and I asked at the same time."Get her a kitty collar with bells on it. That way you can hear her coming and get someplace where you won't be hurt by collapsing immediately into sleep. "
5 " So, we’ve got a problem,” I said.“What?” Lend yelled.“We’ve got a problem!” I shouted.“No, I heard that. I mean, what’s the problem now? "
6 " It's so cute, isn't it?" Arianna said dreamily."Are we seeing the same creature? It's like a demented goat with a bone growth. "
7 " Good luck trying to force Evie to do anything else once she has made up her mind. She is the definition of a stubborn, headstrong teenager.”“And you love me for it.”“I do. "
8 " You wonderful girl. I’ve missed you so much.”“Well, now that we’re both unemployed fugitives, think of how much time we’ll have to hang out! "
9 " Something smashed to the ground. Jack looked at me, all the mugs forgotten. "I'm not going to let anyone kill you." He grinned. "If I don't get to, no one should. "
10 " Jack was balancing a spoon on his nose when I walked in."You," I said knocking it off his face."Me!" He answered cheerfully. "
11 " Jack furiously chopped vegetables. "Captain Dependable! Wait, we vetoed that one. The Divine Door Maker? Too much? Hmm...Handsome Hero, but maybe I should move away from alliteration. Something sleek. Our Lord and Master Jack. "
12 " Greed and desireNot peace, but fireCoveting creationCreated damnationPulled alongsideA gate thrown too wideNow our home calls And darkness fall "I rubbed my temples, feeling a headache coming on."A for effort, ladies, but F for clarity. You do realise that your wierd poem things never explain anything", "
13 " Tell you what." I closed the blade with a satisfying snick. "Remember that time you tried to kill me because I wouldn't open a gate to hell?""The memory's a bit fuzzy..."I opened the knife again."Yes, now that you mention it, I do recall something like that happening, although my motivation was certainly never to kill you. Can't you view it as me inspiring you to figure out how to use the Paths? I didn't actually want you to die. "
14 " Jack shook his head. "Not one of my many talents, sadly. But if you have a cherry stem I can show you a really cool one. "
15 " Please know my deep respect for humans and human life. Such beautiful, fragile animals, so fleeting and easily broken and yet powerful beyond anything faeries can ever hope to be. We cannot create but live forever, unchanging. You change with every breath, dying even as you live, but your thread to eternity and immortality is reborn with every new generation "
16 " Reth laughed.I punched him.It hurt.Me, not him, unfortunately. "
17 " You stink like a faerie, all flowers and sunshine and evil manipulation. "
18 " Do you have any sort of plan?” Jack asked.“Not really.”“Eh, just as well. It’ll be less of a disappointment when you fail. "
19 " -'Perhaps you'd better watch your back, stupid glowy golden faerie man whore.'-'That didn't make any sense.'-'Good. Now maybe I can join your club. "
20 " Reth looked exasperated. “When is something ever not wrong in your life?”I frowned. “That’s my line. "
