“I smile.
I lie.”

“So I stepped away, reminding myself that when you're a spy, sometimes all you can do is go on. One foot in front of the other, wherever the narrow path might lead.”

“Turns out, you can take the girl out of the spy school, but you can never take the spy school out of the girl.”

“So the quesiton is," Bex said slowly,"How far are you willing to go?"
I looked at my three best friends in the world. "How far is there?”

“That's why we're going to disrupt the lunch," she (Kat) said.

"You know," Angus said, "I've got a little C-four that I've been saving for a rainy--"

"We're not blowing up my company, Angus," Hale said.

"Righto. Carry on, Kitty.”

“Maybe wrist corsages cut off circulation to the brain? I mean, is that why so many girls do stupid things on prom night? I was really going to have to investigate this further, I decided”

“And I remember "normal" might never be the same again.”

“You know, Ms. Morgan, that was your mother you just hammered," Mr. Solomon said.”

“Macey couldn't decide whether to be intrigued that Hale was walking around with a state-of-the-art covert communications device or be jealous because she'd been caught without one of her own.”

“real strength is not hitting when what you most want to do is kill.”

“That's a lovely piece," Kat said, pointing at a Louise XV armoire near the fireplace.
The man raised his eyebrows. "Did you come to steal it?"
"Darn it," Kat said with a snap of her fingers."I knew I should have brought my big purse.”

“The window can be fixed, Katerina. I'm far more concerned about him.”

“Common is overrated.”

“Tell me Zach.” I don’t know if it was the wind or the adrenaline, but I shivered. “And don’t lie to me.”

“We wear a lot of labels in our lives, and it's so very easy to be defined by them. We have grown somehow accustomed to thinking of ourselves as a size eight or a size fourteen, as a capricorn or a taurus, as single or in love.”

“I suppose you should her it from me that I met your mother" he smiled a litte sadly. "well… When I say met I mean one time I tried to kill her."
"Do me a favor" Zach's voice was low and dark and dangerous. "Next time don't just try”

“I'll be back. And when i am, i promise i'll have answers.”

“Eventually, we all end up alone.”

“Give me everything you have," I told [Preston].
"Really, Cammie. I never knew you thought of me that way.”

“It was so rare to find someone who was both so young and so wise, both so fresh and so jaded.”

“Sleep every chance you get. Eat every chance you get. Those were two of the many lessons that Kat learned at her father’s knee and her uncle’s table.”

“I thought you might need a ride.'

'The headmaster's office called me a car.'

He shrugged, indifferent but amused. 'And here I am in a submarine.”

“And that's how the Peacock saved the Chameleon”

“Keep your chin up. Eventually, you will meet someone who cares about your opinion. I'm so sorry I'm not her.”

“It’s the people you hold closest who have the most power to make you bleed.”

“Maggie threw her head back and laughed. 'So you're going to try… what? Birds of a Feather?' she quested.

'Of course not,' Kat said. 'Everyone knows the French government banned the importation of peacocks in 1987.”

“Even the best thief in the world can't steal time.”

“I'll be here when you get back.”

“So I stared out at that cold window, watching my breath collect on the glass, trying not to think about my life after the thaw.”

“Is Joe your father, Zach?'

I don't know where the question came from, but it was out, and I couldn't take it back even if I'd wanted to.

'No.' Zach shook his head. 'I never knew my dad. I don't know anything about him.”
