Some kids get called ‘bundles of joy’ or ‘slices of heaven’ or ‘dreams come true.’ We got ‘the fifty-fourth generation of DNA experiments.’ Doesn’t have the same warm and fuzzy feel. But maybe I’m oversensitive.

Kami matamu, Iggy. Kau tak perlu melihat selama kau memiliki kami.

Okay, if this is what falling in love feels like, someone please kill me now. (Not literally, overzealousreaders.) But it was all too much—too much emotion, too much happiness, too much longing, perhapstoo much ice...

Dirt and sweat. Very sexy.

If you’re ever feeling a lack of middle-aged white men, just pop into the Capitol. Not so much the House of Representatives, which has a bit more color and texture, but the Senate — jeez....

Am I tough? Am I strong? Am I hard-core? Absolutely. Did I whimper with pathetic delight when I sank my teeth into my hot fried-chicken sandwich? You betcha.

I’ve dropped a few of those glass balls in my day. Sometimes they chip, sometimes they shatter to pieces.

Yeah, you’re sitting in a tree because you’re fine. That’s easy to see. I can’t believe this is Maximum Ride, destroyer of despots, warrior hottie, leader of the flock! All you need now to make...

I’m a girl of extremes. When I love something, I’m like a puppy dog (without all the licking). When I’m cranky, I’m a wasp (like a whole hive of ’em). And when I’m angry, I’m...

You see, one of the best things about reading is that you’ll always have something to think about when you’re not reading.

My parents were just carried out of the building in the service elevator,” he shouted at the cops. “They were vile, but they didn’t deserve to be taken out with the trash!

Enough!” ter Borcht said.

The fight unfolded like background noise. White noise. In the foreground, even with his ghastly pale face looking dead in my hands, my fingers clenching his ragged hair, all I could see was random images...

Tell our story.” And I did it; I told our story. You hold it in your hands.

Every other person in the world would have looked at it and thought, Max would hate this. It was girly. It was beautiful. It wasn’t made of titanium and black leather with spikes on it....

Well, that’s an evil smile…

I’m way hot,” he muttered. “But I don’t feel sick. Just — way hot.”Fang

Some people just don’t have what it takes to appreciate a cookie.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

What’s so funny ’bout peace, love, and world destruction?

Who, last time I’d checked, was still on our official archenemy list. (Yes, we have to keep a list. It’s kind of sad.)

There’s no such thing as a kid who hates reading. There are kids who love reading, and kids who are reading the wrong books.

Honesty is always good, except when it’s better to lie.

There you have it: our lives in a nutshell. Emphasis on nut.

Love means never having to be apart

Hello, Max,” he said quietly, searching my face. “How do you feel?”Which was a ten on the “imbecilic question” scale of one to ten. Why, I feel fine, Jeb,” I said brightly. “How about you?”Any...

We all love each other, Ange,” I said impatiently, hating this whole conversation. “No, not like this,” she went on relentlessly. “Fang loves you.”……My mouth dropped open. How does she know this stuff? “Forget it!...

Our parents were a test tube and a turkey baster.

Now, Max, I think we both know your parents aren’t missionaries.”I opened my eyes wide. “No? Well, for God’s sake, don’t tell them. They’d be crushed. Thinking they’re doing the Lord’s work and all.

Iggy. This is not a democracy,” I said,(…)”It’sa Maxocracy.

Nope, you stick out like a fart in a church.

I made a pleasant discovery. You work hard at something eight hours a day, you get better. Not a lot better necessarily, but a little better, and that’s just fine, because improving at golf, or...

I fell into a deep sleep tucked in that little cocoon, a deeper sleep than I might of had in years.Right up until someone kicked me and said “Gotcha!

And Flock Rule Number Two is, Don’t argue with Max or you’ll live to regret it.” I spun and stomped out to the clearing, turning back for one last jab at Dylan. “And by the...
