1 " I ended your experiment. Because you're not a scientist. You're a monster. I'm not leaving any of them at your mercy. "
― Rachel Caine , Fall of Night (The Morganville Vampires, #14)
2 " In real life, you don't get a reset, and you don't get extra lives, and I got the crap pounded out of me. "
3 " She needs you for more than just protection. It's how it works. You want the strong girl, you understand that she's with you because she wants to be. Not because she has to be. You know that, right? "
4 " You should have trusted me. I'm really tired of people not trusting me. "
5 " I'm going to have to give him shit for all this,' Shane said, as he wandered around. 'He lives alone and makes his bed? Who does that?''People who like things neat?''Its not natural. "
6 " If Myrnin pokes his crazy head up before then, call me and try to keep him, you know, stable.''Is he UNstable?''I don't know, how can I tell? You're the crazy whisperer!'She had a point. Claire couldn't help but smile about that. "
7 " Girl, we need to get you on a study program, fast. You're not going to last a week around here if you can't keep up with the pop culture references. How about Lord of the Rings? Firefly? Doctor Horrible? No? Clearly we have a lot of work to do. "
8 " You weren't picky about who got hurt. Still aren't. So don't preach at us like you're some kind of saint. You're just another sinner. "
9 " Her eyes felt swollen, and she knew she looked a mess, but sometimes...sometimes the emotions were just too big to hold. "
10 " And then I heard the ring of metal on concrete, and I went cold, because one of them had found a piece of rebar lying around, and I knew with sudden certainty that these guys were going to kill me right here on this stupid sidewalk, for nothing, without even the reason of knowing my name or hating my politics. They were just going to kill me because they needed to kill something, and I was handy. At least zombies would have had a reason. "
11 " Don't play his game. Play yours. "
12 " Nothing here is like fighting vampires,' I said. 'It's more like fighting smoke. I think I liked it when I had an actual enemy to face.''Oh, don't worry, you have some. We just haven't seen them yet,' Jesse said. 'But we will. And wham we do...' She showed fang, just a flash; anybody who happened to catch a glimpse would have doubted their sanity, especially since the teeth disappeared in a flash. 'When we do, we'll settle this Morganville style. "
13 " What are you going to do? Are you going to live in the dark, locked in here? Afraid to look out, answer the door, leave? Yes, he's out there, and he's clearly not going to leave you alone until one of three things happens: he hurts you and gets arrested, or he makes a mistake and gets arrested, or you stop him. "
14 " Here's a tip...If you leave a girl crying you're probably not doing your Don Juan routine right, asshole. "
15 " I'm good. And it's good to see you've kept up the tradition of getting the holy shit beat out of you,even when you're in a nice, civilized place. "
16 " Don't read it. Just shred and burn, or your eyes will melt. "
17 " Bad men skulking in the darkness have always been there, and always will. "
18 " People bond themselves into families and groups for protection, and strangers...strangers are always at risk. "
19 " Well, I can throw a mean comeback, so there's that. I will crush them on wit. "
20 " Look, I hate good-byes, too. But sometimes, we need them just to survive. "
