I hate patience. Slows everything down.

Oh, God. God, isn't that perfect? He's Dad. He's Dad with a layer of nerd. Solid, steady, chipping away so patiently, you don't even know you've had your shields hacked down until you're defenseless. It's the type. You're not in love with a type, you're in love with a man, Penny corrected. Or you're not.

Don't 'honey' me in that southern-fried twang.

What is technology? Cian pulled his brother inside, pushed the button for the next floor. It's another god.

When the going gets tough, the tough eat ribs.

It's Major Ketchup in the bathroom with the laser scalpel. Hmm. He sliced a delicately herbed spear of asparagus. Obviously we were meant for each other as I can interpret that as you meaning something more like Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with the candlestick.

Have McNab take the edge if you need one. Can he handle bad cop? He does it really well during personal role-playing games when I'm the reluctant witness.

Sex might satisfy, food might fuel, love might sustain, but without coffee, what is the point?

Courage comes in different forms. There's strength--that's the muscle. But love's the heart. When you put them together, you can do anything.

Eve-In the name of all that is holy...It's 2060, not 1760. Can't they figure out a better way to handle this process? Roarke-Amen

Magic exists. Who can doubt it, when there are rainbows and wildflowers, the music of the wind and the silence of the stars? Anyone who has loved has been touched by magic. It is such a simple and such an extraordinary part of the lives we live.

You saved me, Eve. He watched her blink in absolute shock. What you are, what I feel for you, what we are together saved me. He kept his eyes on hers as he kissed her.

know what you want, work to get it, then value it once you have it.

Parker: She believed, absolutely, that each person, each heart, had a counterpart—had a mate. A rightness. She’d always believed it, and understood that unshakable belief was a reason she was good at what she did.

Heroism's just doing more than you want to do or think you can. Sometimes it's just doing the crappy things, the unhappy things other people won't do....It's not just jumping out of a plane onto a glacier ten thousand feet up because there's nobody else there to do it. It's getting out of bed in the morning when it seems like too much trouble.

Love is not enough. But, it is the rock on which all else stands.

It doesn't matter how long it takes. She thought of him, of them, the lifetime already shared. It's how long it lasts.

The man was useless as tits on a bull, but he didn't deserve to die like that.

You don't fix a man the way you do a fault in a pipe or a leak in a roof. You take him as he is, Mary Brenna, or you don't take him at all...adjustments can't be all made on one side, darling, else the balance goes off and what's being built just falls down.

It's not an exaggeration to say that they saved my life. Ray Quinn, then Cam and Ethan and Phil. They turned their world around for me, and because of it, turned mine around with it. Anna and Grace and Sybill, Aubrey too. They made a home for me, and nothing that happened before matters nearly as much as everything that came after.
