Frasi di Lilith Saintcrow

“So you're a dom, huh? Nice." I stabbed my pancakes again. "Kinky."

"You're the one who ties people up, babe.”

“He hadn't told me everything, but I'd left him for dead. I guess we were just about even.”

“I guess since the groin is the center of a guy's world, he rarely guesses it isn't the center of yours.”

“What you cannot escape, you must fight; what you cannot fight, you must endure.”

“I'm getting really tired of bleeding. Someone stop the world, I want to get off.”

“His shoulder bumped mine again. "Can I ask you something?"
I didn't answer. He was going to ask me anyway. People don't say that if they don't want to pry something out of you.”

“Now," Graves finally said, "anyone else want to piss me off? Anyone else think this is a goddamn?”

“Oh, the testosterone. You could have cut it with a cafeteria spoon.”

“Jesus, you've got a death wish."
"Right now I have a bathroom-and-sleep-somewhere safe wish, kid.”

“Boys always get the best eyelashes; it's like some kind of cosmic law. And half-breed kids get some kind of extra help there from genetics, too.”

“That's the funny thing about old hurts- they just wait for new heartache to come along and then show up, just as sharp and horrible as the first day you woke up with the world changed all around you.”

“I thought I'd pay you a visit, my dear. Since you're so interesting."

My mouth shifted into high gear, leaving my brain behind. "You know, you're the second guy in a few days to call me that. You should be more creative.”

“Are you listening, little bird?”

“Would I be as strong as that once I did that thing Christophe was talking about? Blooming? Would I smell like a bakery item? Or was that just him? Did he use pie filling for cologne?”

“First you find out what you have, Dad would say. Then you figure out how to make it work for what you need, 'cause you don't get what you want. You get just what you have and no more.”

“Sometimes you meet a girl and it's like matter and antimatter. You just hate each other for no damn reason.”

“Christophe, with the careful tone of an adult telling a kid not to pet the nice foaming-rabid pooch.”

“Who. Hit. You?”

“He wiped away the tears, tenderly, and I forgot to weep as he told me silently everything I always wanted to hear.”

“And ordering me around is exactly the wrong way to make me do what you want.”

“It truly sucks to doubt your friends when you only have one or two of them, I realized.”

“What you can't run away from, you have to face”

“Touch me again, and it will be your last act in life - Blue Eyes.”

“I'd kind of expected that kids who knew about the Real World wouldn't act like jock dipwads. Guess I was wrong.”

“I should start charging uncomfortable thoughts rent. Except what would they pay me in? Probably something even worse.”

“He stared at his hot chocolate like it held the secret to the universe.”

“Graves: It’s going to snow.
Dru Anderson: Thanks for the warning.
Graves: Hey, no problem. First one’s free.”

“You're my friend, Danny. You understand? There's no debt between friends."
Maybe it's just that the debt gets so high you stop counting it.”

“Other dads actually sat at the dinner table. Mine left me a fifty and a reminder to do my goddamn katas.”
