    Leigh Bardugo
    “I would have come for you. And if I couldn't walk, I'd crawl to you, and no matter how broken we were, we'd fight our way out together-knives drawn, pistols blazing. Because that's what we do. We never stop fighting.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Crooked Kingdom

    Leigh Bardugo
    “It was because she was listening so closely that she knew the exact moment when Kaz Brekker, Dirtyhands, the bastard of the Barrel and deadliest boy in Ketterdam, fainted.”

    “Our hopes rest with you, Mister Brekker. If you fail, all the world will suffer for it."

    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

    Leigh Bardugo
    “This isn’t … it isn’t a trick, is it?” Her voice was smaller than she wanted it to be.

    The shadow of something dark moved across Kaz’s face. “If it were a trick, I’d promise you safety. I’d offer you happiness. I don’t know if that exists in the Barrel, but you’ll find none of it with me.”

    For some reason, those words had comforted her. Better terrible truths than kind lies.

    “All right,” she said. “How do we begin?”

    “Let’s start by getting out of here and finding you some proper clothes. Oh, and Inej,” he said as he led her out of the salon, “don’t ever sneak up on me again.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

  • #8
    Leigh Bardugo
    “He'd broken his leg dropping down from the rooftop. The bone didn't set right, and he'd limped ever after. So he'd found himself a Fabrikator and had his cane made. It became a declaration. There was no part of him that was no broken, that had not healed wrong, and there was no part of him that was not stronger for having been broken.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

  • #9
    Leigh Bardugo
    “Some people see a magic trick and say, ‘Impossible!’ They clap their hands, turn over their money, and forget about it ten minutes later. Other people ask how it worked. They go home, get into bed, toss and turn, wondering how it was done. It takes them a good night’s sleep to forget all about it. And then there are the ones who stay awake, running through the trick again and again, looking for that skip in perception, the crack in the illusion that will explain how their eyes got duped; they’re the kind who won’t rest until they’ve mastered that little bit of mystery for themselves. I’m that kind.”

    “You love trickery.”

    “I love puzzles. Trickery is just my native tongue.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

    “Though he’d trusted her with his life countless times, it felt much more frightening to trust her with his shame.”

    Leigh Bardugo
    “Jesper: “If Pekka Rollins kills us all, I’m going to get Wylan’s ghost to teach my ghost how to play the flute just so that I can annoy the hell out of your ghost.”
    Kaz: “I’ll just hire Matthias’ ghost to kick your ghost’s ass.”
    Matthias: “My ghost won’t associate with your ghost.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

    “How do you get your information, Mister Brekker?"
    "You might say I'm a lockpick."
    "You must be a very gifted one."
    "I am indeed." Kaz leaned back slightly. "You see, every man is a safe, a vault of secrets and longings. Now, there are those who take the brute's way, but I prefer a gentler approach - the right pressure applied at the right moment, in the right place. It's a delicate thing."
    "Do you always speak in metaphors, Mister Brekker?"
    Kaz smiled. "It's not a metaphor."
    He was out of his chair before his chains hit the ground.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

    “A liar, a thief, and utterly without conscience. But he'll keep to any deal you strike with him.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

    “There was no part of him that was not broken, that had not healed wrong, and there was no part of him that was not stronger for having been broken.”

    “You’re about to be rich, Kaz. What will you do when there’s no more blood to shed or vengeance to take?”

    “There’s always more.”

    “More money, more mayhem, more scores to settle. Was there never another dream?”

    He said nothing. What had carved all the hope from his heart? She might never know.

    Inej turned to go. Kaz seized her hand, keeping it on the railing. He didn’t look at her. "Stay,” he said, his voice rough stone. “Stay in Ketterdam. Stay with me.”

    She looked down at his gloved hand clutching hers. Everything in her wanted to say yes, but she would not settle for so little, not after all she’d been through. “What would be the point?”

    He took a breath. “I want you to stay. I want you to … I want you.”

    “You want me.” She turned the words over. Gently, she squeezed his hand. “And how will you have me, Kaz?”

    He looked at her then, eyes fierce, mouth set. It was the face he wore when he was fighting.

    “How will you have me?” she repeated. “Fully clothed, gloves on, your head turned away so our lips can never touch?”

    He released her hand, his shoulders bunching, his gaze angry and ashamed as he turned his face to the sea.

    Maybe it was because his back was to her that she could finally speak the words. “I will have you without armor, Kaz Brekker. Or I will not have you at all.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

    “Nina—” Inej murmured.
    “Don’t you start in on me.”
    “It will all work out. Let Kaz do what he does best.”
    “He’s horrible.”
    “But effective. Being angry at Kaz for being ruthless is like being angry at a stove for being hot. You know what he is.”
    Nina crossed her arms. “I’m mad at you, too.”
    “Me? Why?”
    “I don’t know yet. I just am.”
    Leigh Bardugo, Six of Crows

    “Can we please focus? We are supposed to be professionals." Holly said.

    "Not me!" said Orion cheerily, "I'm just a Teenager with hormones running wild and may I say, young fairy lady, they're running wild in your direction.”
    Eoin Colfer, The Atlantis Complex

    “Look!" said Foaly, pointing with some urgency into the vast steel-gray gloom, "Someone who cares!”

    “Me," Artemis blurted. "I'm the nut."
    Artemis could have sworn the squid winked at him before bringing the five-ton chunk of spacecraft swinging down toward the morsel of meat in its blue shell.
    "I'm the nut!" Artemis shouted again, a little hysterically, it must be said.”
    Eoin Colfer, The Atlantis Complex

    “So, what did you get for me?"
    Angeline paused for a beat. "Jeans."
    "What?" croaked Artemis.
    "And a T-shirt.”
    Eoin Colfer, The Atlantis Complex

    “Jon Spiro had not hired Pex and Chips for their debating sills. In the job interview, they had only been set one task. A hundred applicants were handed a walnut and asked to smash it however they could. Only two succeeded. Pex had shouted at the walnut for a few minutes, then flattened it between his giant palms. Chips had opted for a more controversial method. He placed the walnut on the table, grabbed is interviewer by the ponytail, and used the man's forehead to smash the nut. Both men were hired on the spot. They quickly established themselves as Arno Blunt's most reliable leiutenants for in-house work. They were not allowed outside Chicago, as this could involve map reading, something Pex and Chips were not very good at.”

    “Very well, I promise. So, what did you get for me?" Angeline paused for a beat. "Jeans." "What?" croaked Artemis. "And a T-shirt" ...Artemis took several breaths. "Does the T-shirt have any writing on it?" A rustling of paper crackled through the phone's speakers. "Yes, it's so cool. There's a picture of a boy who for some reason has no neck and only three fingers on each hand, and behind him in this sort of graffiti style is the words RANDOMOSIY. I don't know what that means but it sounds really current." Randomosity though Artemis, and he felt like weeping.”

    “Maybe I owe you something too, human," she said, drawing her pistol. Butler almost reacted, but decided to give Holly the benefit of the doubt.

    Captain Short plucked a gold coin from her belt, flicking it fifty feet into the moonlit sky. With one fluid movement, she brought her weapon up and loosed a single blast. The coin rose another fifty feet, then spun earthward. Artemis somehow managed to snatch it from the air. The first cool movement of his young life.

    "Nice shot," he said. The previously solid disk now had a tiny hole in the center.

    Holly held out her hand, revealing the still raw scar on her finger. "If it wasn't for you, I would have missed altogether. No mech-digit can replicate that kind of accuracy. So, thank you too, I suppose."

    Artemis held out the coin.

    "No," said Holly. "You keep it, to remind you."

    "To remind me?"

    Holly stared at him frankly. "To remind you that deep beneath the layers of deviousness, you have a spark of decency. Perhaps you could blow on that spark occasionally."

    Artemis closed his fingers around the coin. It was warm against his palm.

    "Yes, perhaps.”
    Eoin Colfer, The Arctic Incident

    “Ah, my princess. Noble steed. How does the morning find you both?”

    “The next minute or so was spent howling on the ceiling . Imp No.1 joined in, but he wasn't really feeling it. It shouldn't be "Who do we hate?", he thought, it really should be "whom", but this probably wasn't a good time to bring that up. ”
    Eoin Colfer

    “Let's save some time here. I grow weary of your clumsy bluffs. In the case of an abduction, the LEP will send a crack Retrieval team to get back what has been lost.. You have done so. Excuse me while I titter. Crack team? Honestly. A Cub-Scout patrol armed with water pistols could have defeated them.”
    Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl

    “HOLLY: Are you suggesting I occasionally stray from the rule book?
    FOALY: No. I'm suggesting you do not own a copy of the rule book, and if you do, you have certainly never opened it.”
    Eoin Colfer, The Time Paradox
