1 " The courtyard kept changing, dazzling her with the flowers that bloomed between one day and the next, with the bare branches of trees that were swollen with the buds of new leaves and then fuzzed with green. Every day, she drove a familiar road through a new place. "
― Anne Bishop , Murder of Crows (The Others, #2)
2 " Do any of them realize that Simon Wolfgard is falling in love with Meg Corbyn? Monty wondered. Does Wolfgard understand his own response to the girl? What about Meg? How does she feel? What would the rest of the Others do if one of their kind did fall in love with a human? "
3 " The cow-shaped cookies have a beef flavoring, the turkey-shaped cookies have a poultry flavoring, and..."Jane held up one of the cookies. "Human-flavored?"Meg stifled a sigh. That would be the first thing on her feedback list: don't make people-shaped cookies. The Wolves were way too interested and all of them leaped to a logical, if disturbing, expectation about the taste. "
4 " Okay. I picked up a movie to watch tonight. You can watch it with me if you like. It's a chick movie. Merri Lee said that means girls like it, not that there are small birds in it. "
5 " Are there weapons in a bookstore?''It's a store full of books, which are objects that can be thrown as well as read,' Monty replied blandly.The Crows cocked his head. 'I had no idea you humans lived with so much danger. "
6 " She kicked me off the bed! "
7 " I'm confused.""Where Meg is concerned, you've been confused since you met her. "
8 " He just hoped Meg leading the way didn’t mean all the blood prophets would do strange things to their hair. "
9 " Simon's relationship with Meg was too complex for anything as simple as sex. "
10 " He might know things Meg wanted to learn, but he would never be as thorough about cleaning the salt and butter off her hands after movie night. "
11 " Maybe you should go home and rest," Simon told Meg. Maybe he could go home with her and they could cuddle for a while or play a game. Or she could watch a movie with him and pet him. "
12 " Human females, they're kind of crazy during this time aren't they? If you chose to believe the stories written by male writers.They heard a bang and thump from the kitchen. Followed by Meg yelling at something.That many males can't be wrong. "
13 " If you try to quit I will eat you! "
14 " I’ll see if I can find someone in the Toland Police Department who doesn’t use his brains to wipe his backside. "
15 " Wait! I'm the one who's supposed to chase! "
16 " I’ve done some research for my books and talked to a few humans, and they all said humans would use guns and knives and clubs for weapons.” The Crow nodded. “A screaming woman with a teakettle just doesn’t sound sufficiently dangerous.” “But she was! They were!” Alan said. “How would a human deal with them? "
17 " And getting licked by someone furry wasn't threatening but being kissed by the non furred male was, which made sense when the furry and non furred were the same person. Wolf. "
18 " Oh, no.He was furry, not stupid. "
19 " You may be small, but you kick like a moose. Which is something I’m telling the rest of the Wolves.” Great just what she needed. Yep, that’s our Liasion. Meg Moosekicker. "
20 " I’m not cs747,” she whispered defiantly as she shifted on her cot in order to lean back against the wall. “My name is Jean. "
