1 " What’s her name? Claire, what’s her name? "
― Rachel Caine , Black Dawn (The Morganville Vampires, #12)
2 " You can't go around... licking things that come out of a water treatment plant. That's just... unsanitary. "
3 " Even bipolar vampires needed sleep from time to time, and he was well past his recommended safe dosage of stress. "
4 " Shane looked faintly injured. “I make it my business to know everything about silver. And I saw your notes. I study up on everything when it comes to your boss, anyway.” There was a flicker of jealousy about that, but she didn’t have time, or energy, to consider it very much. Not even whether or not she liked it. "
5 " News flash, lady. There are no queens anymore,” Shane said. He loaded shells in a shotgun and snapped it shut, then searched for a place to strap it on that didn’t interfere with the flamethrower. “No queens, no kings, no emperors. Not in America. Only CEOs. Same thing, but not so many crowns. "
6 " That's very rude," Myrnin said. "I haven't brought my fangs our for some time. Not in mixed company, anyway. "
7 " It’s like disco inferno up in here "
8 " The rule of the Morrell family was over, and Richard owned a used-car lot and Monica worked at a nail salon, until one day she got run over by a bus. Very sad. "
9 " Is it crazy right now to say I love you?” She didn’t even pause. “Given that I just stabbed you? Seems a little weird, yeah. "
10 " Mirnin: Where's Shreve? "
11 " Myrnin was silent for a beat, and then he said, "Bob would be very disappointed in you. "
12 " She was starting to feel a little like a hamburger at a dieters’ convention. Nobody was likely to snack on her, but absolutely everybody noticed she was edible. "
13 " He smiled, and it made his dimples come out. “I think I’m more Batman,” he said. “You know, what with all the bats and nighttime activities. And Batman is much cooler.” “Geek.” His smile widened. “You say the nicest things. Haven’t you heard? Geeks run the world now.” -BLACK DAWN "
14 " Moi?” He put his hand over his heart and did his best wounded-innocent look. “You must be thinking of some other uncouth jackass. Which makes me jealous, by the way. "
15 " As I leafed through the book in front of me and watched the dust swirl in the air, I wondered if maybe there was some evil dormant virus in the pages that would infect me, like the mummy dust that used to kill archaeologists. Death by research. That was not a glorious end. "
16 " I know, he said. We are into the Bad Idea neighborhood and heading down I Have a Bad Feeling Street. (Shane) "
17 " It's an illusion, control," Naomi said. "You ought to understand that by now, young Claire. We are never in control of our destinies, even the strongest of us. All we can hope to do is not be too badly damaged by events. "
18 " Who's your daddy?'Myrnin stared at him as if he'd gone completely mental. 'Excuse me? "
19 " His smile was bright and sweet and hot enough to melt solid steel. "Is this the part where I kiss you?""If you like.""Oh," he said, "I like. "
20 " Hannah: What's your plan?Claire: Go get himHannah: Honey, that is not a plan. That's what we in the military call an objective. "
