MacRieve's disgusted with me. "Basically? Yes."

He snapped, "Because you could move on if something happened to me.”

Garreth had taken Lucia's scent into him and could find her from miles away.

"That'll work."

Witches could come in handy, he supposed.

Garreth bluidy hated witches! "Charge me what you will! Just give me the fucking coordinates."

In the background, he heard Bowen say, "Mari, never let it be said that I doona support your extortion--"

"Entrepreneurial-ness," she corrected.

"But a family discount, love, would no' be amiss."

"The whole family? Fine," she said. "I'm scrying." While Garreth waited, she groused about how extended the "MacRieve pack" was.”

"Let me the bluidy hell out of here!" sounded up from below.

In a soft tone, Lucia said, “She’s La Dorada, the Gilded Woman. History had it wrong.
Really wrong.”
“Makes sense.”
“What do you mean?”
“Say you were a conquistador, hunting for the Gilded One’s gold, yet the native was clever enough to keep a tomb full of it hidden. A native—a woman native— somehow outwits you?” He shook his head. “Back in the day, I met a few gold-hungry conquistadors, and let’s put it this way—the fragility of conquistador ego canna be overstated.”
― Kresley Cole, quote from Pleasure of a Dark Prince

“Apparently being Cinderella isn't so bad after all.”
― Melissa Kantor, quote from If I Have a Wicked Stepmother, Where's My Prince?

“But from the Parthenon and the Timaeus a specious logic leads to the tyranny which, in the Republic, is held up as the ideal form of government. In the field of politics the equivalent of a theorem is a perfectly disciplined army; of a sonnet or picture, a police state under a dictatorship. The Marxist calls himself scientific and to this claim the Fascist adds another: he is the poet - the scientific poet - of a new mythology. Both are justified in their pretentions; for each applies to human situations the procedures which have proved effective in the laboratory and the ivory tower. They simplify, they abstract, they eliminate all that, for their purposes, is irrelevant and ignore whatever they choose to regard as inessential; they impose a style, they compel the facts to verify a favorite hypothesis, they consign to the waste paper basket all that, to their mind, falls short of perfection. And because they thus act like good artists, sound thinkers and tried experimenters, the prisons are full, political heretics are worked to death as slaves, the rights and preferences of mere individuals are ignored, the Gandhis are murdered and from morning till night a million schoolteachers and broadcasters proclaim the infallibility of the bosses who happen at the moment to be in power.”
― Aldous Huxley, quote from Ape and Essence

“Female humans need communication, a lot of it. It's fucking annoying but, trust me, you're better off giving it to her than suffering the consequences.”
― Kristen Ashley, quote from With Everything I Am

“for every one bad apple, there are thousands more whose hearts are full of kindness.”
― Lucinda Riley, quote from The Seven Sisters

“one can be both free and economically secure while leading a totally meaningless and empty existence.”
― George Lakoff, quote from Metaphors We Live By
