Quote

When you're late in a fairy tale, people wind up dead. And not true-love's-kiss, glass-coffin-nap-time dead. Really dead, the kind of dead you don't recover from.

He'll die first, we both know it, but I don't know... I really don't know how long I'll stay alive without him. That's the part Shaun doesn't know. I don't intend to be an only child for long.

I recommend Avon Skin-So-Soft. It’s a bath product. It smells like someone fed a Disney Princess through a juicer, but it works better than anything else on the market.

Shaun get your sister her glasses. She looks naked without them. It's creeping me out.

I just find it interesting that kids apparently used to cry when Bambi's mother died. George and I both held our breaths, and then cheered when she didn't reanimate and try to eat her son.

He's going to be okay, said Quentin. He has to. He's Tybalt. You'd be all weird and irritating if he wasn't around. Weird and irritating? I raised an eyebrow. What gives you that idea? Quentin shrugged. That's already how you get when he isn't around.

This is Shaun Mason activating security protocol Campbell. The bridge is out, the trees are coming, and I’m pretty sure my hand is evil. Now gimme some sugar, baby.

I would love a sandwich,' said Tybalt, with enough gravity to make it sound like a formal proclamation. Resolved: that we will have ham and cheese sandwiches.

People say things like it wasn't supposed to go this way and this isn't what I wanted. They're just making noise. There's no such thing as supposed to, and what you want doesn't matter. All that matters is what happened.

Past experience told me he could smell my fear it also told me that the anger accompanying it would pretty much cover the scent. It's good to know how to compensate for your own weaknesses.

And to those who would choose the safety of inaction over the danger of taking a stand, I have this to say: You bloody cowards. May you have the world that you deserve.

George, she says it's the truth that matters. We live and die for the chance to maybe tell a little bit of the truth, maybe shame the Devil just a little bit before we go.

Hey! I turned, crossing my arms and glaring. I was talking to him! Tybalt eyed me with amusement, which just made me glare harder. No, you were inciting him to stab you with a toothpick. Again, the difference is small, but I think it matters.

I was still wearing my shoes. The staff was paid to wash the sheets after every visit, and by the point we left the field, I’d dressed and undressed so many times in the course of decontamination that I never wanted to remove my clothes again. I’d just wear them until they dissolved, and then spend the rest of my life naked.

Me, I say those are all great things to live for, if they're what happens to float your boat, but at the end of the day, there's got to be somebody you're doing it for. Just one person you're thinking of everytime you make a decision, everytime you tell the truth, or tell a lie, or anything. I've got mine. Do you?
