    John Green
    “I wanted so badly to lie down next to her on the couch, to wrap my arms around her and sleep. Not fuck, like in those movies. Not even have sex. Just sleep together in the most innocent sense of the phrase. But I lacked the courage and she had a boyfriend and I was gawky and she was gorgeous and I was hopelessly boring and she was endlessly fascinating. So I walked back to my room and collapsed on the bottom bunk, thinking that if people were rain, I was drizzle and she was hurricane.”

    “Alek was right behind her now, his body pressing close as he adjusted her sword arm. She hadn't realized this fencing business would be so touchy.

    He grasped her waist, sending a crackle across her skin.

    If Alek moved his hands any higher, he might notice what was hidden beneath her careful tailoring.

    “Always keep sideways to your opponent,” he said, gently turning her. “That way, your chest presents the smallest possible target.”

    “Aye, the smallest possible target,” Deryn sighed. Her secret was safe, it seemed.”
    ― Scott Westerfeld, Behemoth

    “Well, while you were in the bathroom, I sat down at this picnic table here in Bumblefug, Kentucky, and noticed that someone had carved that GOD HATES FAG, which, aside from being a grammatical nightmare, is absolutely ridiculous. So I'm changing it to 'God Hates Baguettes.' It's tough to disagree with that. Everybody hates baguettes.”
