    Leigh Bardugo
    “Kaz consulted his watch. “Didn’t ask. We have six hours to sleep and heal up. I’ll nab supplies from the Cirkus Zirkoa. They’re camped on the western outskirts of town. Inej, make a list of what you’ll need. We hit the silos in twenty-four hours.”
    “Absolutely not,” said Nina. “Inej needs to rest.”
    “That’s right,” Jesper agreed. “She looks thin enough to blow away in a stiff breeze.”
    “I’m fine,” said Inej.
    Jesper rolled his eyes. “You always say that.”
    “Isn’t that how things are done around here?” asked Wylan. “We all tell Kaz we’re fine and then do something stupid?”
    “Are we that predictable?” said Inej.
    Wylan and Matthias said in unison, “Yes.”

    Leigh Bardugo
    “This isn’t about romance. A proper kiss, a proper courtship. There’s a way these things should be done.”
    “For proper thieves?” The corners of her beautiful mouth curled and for a moment he was afraid she would laugh at him, but she simply shook her head and drew even nearer. Her body was the barest breath from his now. The need to close that scrap of distance was maddening.
    “The first day you showed up at my house for this proper courtship, I would have cornered you in the pantry,” she said. “But please, tell me more about Fjerdan girls.”
    “They speak quietly. They don’t engage in flirtations with every single man they meet.”
    “I flirt with the women too.”
    “I think you’d flirt with a date palm if it would pay you any attention.”
    “If I flirted with a plant, you can bet it would stand up and take notice. Are you jealous?”
    “All the time.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

    Leigh Bardugo
    “You’re not weak because you can’t read. You’re weak because you’re afraid of people seeing your weakness. You’re letting shame decide who you are. […] It’s shame that lines my pockets, shame that keeps the Barrel teeming with fools ready to put on a mask just so they can have what they want with none the wiser about it. We can endure all kinds of pain. It’s shame that eats men whole.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

    Douglas Adams
    “One of the major problems encountered in time travel is not that of becoming your own father or mother. There is no problem in becoming your own father or mother that a broad-minded and well-adjusted family can't cope with. There is no problem with changing the course of history—the course of history does not change because it all fits together like a jigsaw. All the important changes have happened before the things they were supposed to change and it all sorts itself out in the end.

    The major problem is simply one of grammar, and the main work to consult in this matter is Dr. Dan Streetmentioner's Time Traveler's Handbook of 1001 Tense Formations. It will tell you, for instance, how to describe something that was about to happen to you in the past before you avoided it by time-jumping forward two days in order to avoid it. The event will be descibed differently according to whether you are talking about it from the standpoint of your own natural time, from a time in the further future, or a time in the further past and is futher complicated by the possibility of conducting conversations while you are actually traveling from one time to another with the intention of becoming your own mother or father.

    Most readers get as far as the Future Semiconditionally Modified Subinverted Plagal Past Subjunctive Intentional before giving up; and in fact in later aditions of the book all pages beyond this point have been left blank to save on printing costs.

    The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy skips lightly over this tangle of academic abstraction, pausing only to note that the term "Future Perfect" has been abandoned since it was discovered not to be.”
    Douglas Adams, The Restaurant at the End of the Universe

  • #30
    Douglas Adams
    “Numbers written on restaurant bills within the confines of restaurants do not follow the same mathematical laws as numbers written on any other pieces of paper in any other parts of the Universe. This single fact took the scientific world by storm.”
    Douglas Adams, Life, the Universe and Everything
