Quote

Turns out he does run, Nick drawled. Given an incentive. And he wouldn't be so out of breath if he hadn't kept shrieking. That was not a shriek, Jamie said with dignity. It was a husky masculine cry of terror.

It was all right. Nick thought about this and decided that what Alan said was true. He'd never been helpless before, not since he could remember, but now he was and everything was all right. He did not have to speak, he was not able to move, all he could do was lie there and have his brother hold him, hunched over and shielding him from the world.

Alan: Conning people out of their savings. Forgery. Blackmail. Selling real estate on Mars. We could have it all. You with me, Bambi? Sin: Clive, I was with you from 'I'm a social worker.

For a moment, they all stood staring at each other. Then Holly shattered the stillness by throwing herself at Angela. God, Angie! she exclaimed, arms locked around her neck. What Happened?

I read The Hunger Games voraciously and was extremely annoyed when interrupted by such inconsequential things as 'Christmas dinner.' (God, Mom, did you not understand Katniss was being pursued by the mutts? You have several children, why does it always have to be about collecting the whole set all the time?)

Oh God, Mae, said Jamie in a hollow voice, descending the stairs. I will never drink again. I'm only seeing in black and white. My arms feel all floppy, like flightless wings. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and I looked like a very sad penguin.
