That is bullshit of the highest caliber”

― Dianne Duvall, Phantom Shadows

“What the hell?” I muttered. Then I realized it was Jack Quinn’s car. Jack was a Hound and Bea’s boyfriend. The left blinker flashed on for just a second, and then Jack drove at speed again.

“What happens when you’re not in trouble?” Shame asked.

“Don’t know. It’s never happened.”
― Devon Monk, Magic Without Mercy

Unless, of course, the cloud thinks my cleavage will stun my opponents into stupidity."
