'But the blood...' I heard Marcus move closer. 'Why is she bleeding?'
I eased onto my side. 'I'm being tattooed by a giant, mother fu-' Another strangled scream cut of my words as a different type of pain settled in, moving under my skin. It was like lighting racing through my veins, frying every nerve ending.
'This is... wow,' Deacon said, and I pried my eyes open. There was a whole audience by the door.

'Whoa,' I heard Deacon murmur. 'This is like watching a chick give birth or something.'
'Oh my gods, I'm going to kill him.' I could feel the beads of blood breaking out under my jeans. 'I'm going to punch him-'

Well that blew.”

Seth stilled above me, panting. 'You have got to be freaking kidding me.'
Leon knocked again. [...] 'Lucian is requesting your presence immediately.' Another gap of silence followed. 'He is also requesting to see you, Seth.'

“You know, Scarlett, Rhett didn't give a damn, and frankly, I don't either.”
― Myra McEntire, quote from Hourglass

“Razvojni proces, do katerega prihaja na ravni posameznika, je isti proces, ki se odvija na ravni medsebojnih odnosov med posamezniki. Ko posameznik vnese energijo pralika duhovnega partnerstva, to ne vpliva na partnerstvo, ki ga oblikuje z drugim posameznikom, ampak tudi na skupnost, narod in cel svet. Vaša odločitev, da se se boste razvijali zavestno odgovorno z izbiro, prispeva ne samo k vaši lastni evoluciji, ampak tudik evoluciji vseh tistih vidikov človeštva, v katerih sodelujete. S svojimi odločitvami se ne razvijate samo vi, marveč celotno človeštvo.”
― Gary Zukav, quote from The Seat of the Soul

“Call me Levi.” Duncan nodded. “Levi, then. ’Tis a fine name to be carrying.” Levi shook his head and chuckled softly. “Keep your flattery for the women, Duncan.” “Why do ye think I’m practicin’?” Duncan winked at him. “I got me a bonny lass to impress. She’s a shy one, but I’m determined to coax her out of hiding.” He wiggled his eyebrows and lifted his knees in a high-stepping jig as he danced his way through the doors, leaving Levi with a hearty dose of laughter rumbling in his chest.”

― Daniel Abraham, quote from A Shadow in Summer

“Puck swung the cannon around in anger. The nozzle spun and hit Sabrina in the chest. The force was so pawerful she was knocked right off the platform and fell backward off the tower. She saw sky above her and felt the wind in her hair. How ironic, she thought, as she fell to her certain death, that at that moment she would have given anything to be a giant goose again.
Air rushed past Sabrina's ears and suddenly she felt her back tingling again. A moment later she was hanging upside down, inches from the ground. She looked up to find her savior, only to find that her her wasn't a person but a long, furry tail sticking out of the back of her pants. It was wrapped around a beam in the tower a kept her swinging there like a monkey.
Puck floated down to her, his wings flapping softly enough to allow him to hover.
"I bet you think this is hilarious. Look what you did to me with your stupid pranks. I have a tail!" she raged.
Puck's face was trembling. "I'm sorry."
"What?" Sabrina said blankly.
"I almost killed you. I'm sorry, Sabrina," he said, rubbing his eyes on his filthy hoodie. He lifted her off the tower and set her on the ground.
"Since when do you care?" Sabrina said, still stunned by the boy's apology.”
― Michael Buckley, quote from The Everafter War
