What you cannot escape, you must fight what you cannot fight, you must endure.
Lilith Saintcrow
He hadn't told me everything, but I'd left him for dead. I guess we were just about even...
Lilith Saintcrow
I guess since the groin is the center of a guy's world, he rarely guesses it isn't the center of yours.
Lilith Saintcrow
I sensed him leaning forward. It's weird to feel someone's attention on you that way, like you're the only thing in the world they're listening to. Most of the time people are distracted, or just thinking about what they're going to say next.
Lilith Saintcrow
There was Kir, red hair combed back and That Expression on his sharp face. Even his freckles looked serious. I'd given up wondering how a freckle-faced teenager could look so much like a disapproving granny.
Lilith Saintcrow
Some days, a killing spree seems like a good idea.

Zombies smell worse than anything you can imagine if you haven’t been hunting things on the dark side of the world. It’s a ripe, gassy odour, like rotting eggs and meat gone bad, crawling blind with maggots. It’s road kill and decayed food and body odour all rolled into one package and tied up with puke.

God, was I going to have another day of painful thoughts jumping me every time I relaxed? The obvious solution—to just not relax—was kind of sucking.
Lilith Saintcrow
Don't worry about me, I finally said. Really. I'm more worried about you. And even more worried about where Graves is. Are you? A fey smile lit his face, and I caught my breath. It was a shock to see him look so happy. Well, then.
Lilith Saintcrow
I thought I'd pay you a visit, my dear. Since you're so interesting. My mouth shifted into high gear, leaving my brain behind. You know, you're the second guy in a few days to call me that. You should be more creative.
Lilith Saintcrow
Oh God, Oh God we’re all gonna die doesn’t really fit the definition of banter, now does it?
Lilith Saintcrow
It truly sucks to doubt your friends when you only have one or two of them, I realized.
Lilith Saintcrow
His shoulder bumped mine again. Can I ask you something? I didn't answer. He was going to ask me anyway. People don't say that if they don't want to pry something out of you.
Lilith Saintcrow
Next to her, even the prettiest djamphir boys looked gawky.
Lilith Saintcrow
I wondered what I’d end up looking like once I bloomed. I couldn’t even guess. If I had to be stuck in my own skinny, gawky, coltish body forever… well. It probably wouldn’t be so bad. I wouldn’t mind a little more in the chest, though. But wild horses wouldn’t drag that out of me. Ever.
Lilith Saintcrow
They all looked like a shampoo commercial, healthy and clear-skinned, perfectly proportioned, a group of handsome young men. Their clothes hung on them like they were glad to be gracing such supermodels.
Lilith Saintcrow
People don’t really want to know anything about you. They just want you to fit into their little predetermined slots. They decide what you are in the first two seconds, and they only get nervous or upset if you don’t live up to their snap judgments.

What you can't run away from, you have to face

It wasn't sarcasm. Graves blew out a cloud of acrid smoke. It was pointing out a fallacy in your logic, babe. Anna's jaw actually dropped. For a moment, I wasn't sure if I should laugh or push him out of the room. Way to go, Graves.

The only place their voices were left was in my head. It was better than being alone but it was so, so lonely.
