21 " Go away, bitch." Great, A shoe with attitude. "
― Richelle Mead , Storm Born (Dark Swan, #1)
22 " You used your power to toss a rock at me?'- Aeson'On the contrary, I didn't use magic for that. I just threw it. "
23 " Truly," remarked Nandi as we entered a darkened tunnel, "it is amazing that you have not died yet, mistress." "Well, hang in there. The night is young. "
24 " Finn crossed his arms and glared at Volusian. It was kind of a bold move, considering Finn looked like a cartoon character and Volusian looked like he ate the souls of small children. For all I knew, he probably did. "
25 " Most aren't trying to kill you, unfortunately. They're trying to bed you, mistress.""Why?""Probably because of the prophecy," said Nandi."Prophecy," I said dryly. "Wonderful. Now there's a prophecy.""Mistress," she said hastily, "had you asked us if there was a prophecy-""Yeah, yeah. I know. What's this one say? That I'm a good lay? "
26 " Aren't we all alone?" I asked with a rueful smile."Yes. I think in the end, we all are, no matter what the songs and happy stories say. I guess it's just a matter of who we choose to be alone with.""That's why I come here, you know. To be alone with other people. There's isolation in a crowd. You're hidden. Safe. "

28 " sometimes I just get so frustrated with games of human attraction.” “How so?” “It’s all masked in posturing and ploys. There’s no honesty. People can’t just come up and express their attraction. It’s got to be cleverly obscured with some stupid pick-up line or not-so-subtle gift, and I don’t really know how to play those games so well. We’re taught that it’s wrong to be honest, like there’s some kind of social stigma with it. "
29 " She didn't look like a Willow Queen. Of course, I'm not sure what exactly I expected - maybe something akin to Glinda the Good Witch. But this woman looked like Surfer Girl Barbie. "
30 " You make a joke out of everything.” “Life’s too painful not to. "
