I can smell the crazy on that man from here. I have a nose for it.

I’m not a wilting flower, unless that gets me extraspecial treats.

She looked back to see Sam standing there at the edge of the strip of sunlight inside Common Grounds, staring after her with an expression on his face like he’d lost his best- his only...

Welcome to Morganville.You’ll never want to leave.And even if you do…well, you can’t. Sorry about that.

Claire stretched out against the wall and kissed it. “Glad to see you, too,” she whispered, and pressed her cheek against the smooth surface. It almost felt like it hugged her back.”Dude, it’s a house,”...

Now play nicely, make-believe dead girl

Shane: “Score,” he said, and raised the crowbar in triumph. “Who’s your daddy?”- Black Dawn

Could you maybe not admire the evil enemy quite as much, and focus on how we’re going to get out of this?

I’m still alive. And I’m still fabulous.

She came awake, stomach rumbling, and opened her eyes to see a plate being held right under her nose. When she reached for it, Shane snatched it back. ‘Nuh-uh. Mine.”Share!’ she demanded.’Man, you are one...

It’s because you’re young and you refuse to acknowledge what you are. What it means. What it promises. You’re fighting your condition, and that makes it almost impossible for you to control yourself. You need...

He was a nice guy, middle-aged, a little tired, like most doctors usually seemed to be, but he just nodded and said, “Let me take a look at him. Shane?””I’m not dropping my pants,” Shane...

Okay, this was kissing. Serious kissing. Not just a kiss before moving out, not a good-bye, this was Hello, sexy, and wow, she’d never even suspected that it could feel this way.

What was your name again?””Still Eve.””No, I’m sure it’s something else. That doesn’t seem right.

One hot yellow Hummer with optional mass destruction package, coming up.

Well…I would make an awesome mayor. I’m very photogenic.

Dear girls, I can let anyone get hurt because in my world, my safety and well-being come first.

Shane looked…pale. Pale and shaken and—how predictable was this?—pissed.

You’re the future, Claire.

And then I heard the ring of metal on concrete, and I went cold, because one of them had found a piece of rebar lying around, and I knew with sudden certainty that these guys...

I’ll do it!””No, you won’t,” Shane and Michael said, at virtually the same time. Shane continued. “You’re barely on your feet, Claire. You don’t go anywhere, not without me.””And me,” Michael said.”Hell,” Eve sighed. “I...

Now could you please ask these idiots to stop pointing their bullets at me? It’s terribly wasteful.

You looked like the sexiest woman in the world.””Well, in fairness, I am the sexiest woman in the world.””And you’re always right.””You are so brilliant to recognize that.

I guess in my beer-soaked mind it would all just magically work out, and she’d be so happy to see me she’d forget about everything else. Because everybody loves having the drunken self-pitying boyfriend banging...

I feel like I’m some kind of fugitive here, like I’m hiding from something. Maybe myself.

The world doesn’t end, Claire. In the morning, the survivors start to build again. It’s way of things. The human way.

Kind of is, actually.

You know what we call pedestrians in Morganville? Mobile bloodbanks.

Better be,” Eve said. She mock-bit at his finger. “I could totally date somebody else, you know.””And I could rent out your room.””And I could put your game console on eBay.””Hey,” Shane protested. “Now you’re...

Unfortunately, my army consists of one unreliable criminal, one girl with adisability, and one incredibly foolish young vampire with a tanning issue. I am not confident.

When things seem calmest, that is the time you should fear the most, it’s when you have the most to lose.

You’ve been the least useless apprentice I’ve ever had.

Giving up is always easy. It’s the peace that follows that sucks.

You okay?””Fine.””Your heart’s beating really fast.””Gee, thanks. That’s very comforting that you can hear it.”He smiled, and it was the old Michael, the one she’d first met before all the vamp stuff.”Yeah, I know it...

I’m not like you. I’ll never be like you. Best of all, I don’t have to be.

She was almost at the top of the steps, and Shane was right behind her, when she heard Myrnin say, in a quiet voice that was like the old Myrnin, the one she actually liked,...

Hannah leaned against the wall. ‘Mind if I call shotgun?”Since you’re carrying one? Feel free.

You look like a Goth factory exploded all over you!” he called as she ran down the hall.”Love you, too, jackass!

What, because I said she had a sweet little butt? You don’t think she does? Hard to believe, since you spend so much time staring at it.

Don’t bait the cougars.

Next time we commit crime, we’ll make sure to include him.

Hey, Dark Princess? Here’s your crap. Also, bite me.

Fine, be emotionally stunted losers; I don’t care.

Don’t read it. Just shred and burn, or your eyes will melt.

Am I not ninja enough? Are you saying that I lack ninja?

What about e-mail? It is e-mail, yes?” Morley asked, leaning even closer. “E-mail is a kind of electronic letter. It travels through the air.” He seemed very smug that he knew that. “Well, not exactly,...

Amelie seemed to focus on her again. For a few seconds she regarded her, frowning, and then smiled just a little. “So I recall,” she said. “Not all wars are waged with bullets and swords,...

It’s part of the marriage vows. Didn’t you read the fine print? To have and to harass.

Clumsiness would be just as deadly an opponent.

Shane, honey, in Morganville, friends are the only things that keep you alive.
