21 " That's incredible...I don't know--okay, well, you know, nobody's probably voting for me. I mean, I'm not Richard. I haven't gone out of my way to be responsible or anything. "

22 " Only as equals can we keep the peace. It is not in our nature, but it is the only way to survive. "
23 " Did you bring me a hamburger? Did I-No,Myrnin,I didn't bring you a hamburger.Bizarre.He'd never asked for that before.Coffee?It's late.Doughnuts?No.What good are you then? "
24 " --I lifted one foot from the brackish water, and the bunny slippers were soaked and drooped pathetically. Even the fangs seemed robbed of any charm."Don't worry," I told it. "Someone will pay for your suffering. Heavily. With screaming."I felt I should repeat it for the other slipper, in case there should be any bad feelings between the two. One should never create tension between ones's footwear.--POV is Myrnin, page 221 "
25 " My vampire boss, who would like to maybe be my boyfriend, just dropped in to tell me he was running away because Morganville’s too dangerous. "
26 " In an insane world, sanity made very little sense. No one expected me to live, and therefore, I did. Always. "
27 " I felt I should repeat it for the other slipper, in case there should be any bad feelings between the two. One should never create tension between one's footwear. "
28 " Best to flee now, before the pitchforks and torches and scientists come calling. "

31 " Are the two of you quite done with your sweet nothings? Because I might vomit. "
32 " A disrespectful young woman," she said. "Something I was called more than once. Something every woman of quality is called sooner or later, by a man who feels they do not know their place. As we do not, because our place is as lofty as we may aspire to climb. It is the language of men who fear women. "
33 " Clarity confused me. I was far less forgiving and kind than the general state of disconnection in which I liked to live. "
34 " You're always caring about strays and outcasts among us, myself included. You really are a very odd girl, you know; so little sense of what is good for you. "
35 " He stepped forward and took both her hands in his cool ones. For a moment, she thought he intended to kiss her, and for a panicked moment she wasn’t sure if she ought to stop him, wanted to stop him…but then he just touched his forehead to hers and held it there. "
36 " My, if I didn't loathe her so much, I'd admire her. "
37 " Don't worry...Someone will pay for your suffering. Heavily. With screaming. "
