    “Then Day reaches out and touches my hand with his. He encloses it in a handshake. And just like that, I am linked with him again, I feel the pulse of our bond and his- tory and love through our hands, like a wave of magic, the return of a long-lost friend. Of something meant to be. The feeling brings tears to my eyes. Perhaps we can take a step forward together.

    “Hi,” he says. “I’m Daniel.”
    “Hi,” I reply. “I’m June.”
    Marie Lu, Champion

    Augusten Burroughs
    “I used to feel so alone in the city. All those gazillions of people and then me, on the outside. Because how do you meet a new person? I was very stunned by this for many years. And then I realized, you just say, "Hi." They may ignore you. Or you may marry them. And that possibility is worth that one word.”
    Augusten Burroughs

    Nicholas Sparks
    “As far as I can tell, dumping soda on people is the equivalent of ‘Hi, it’s nice to meet you’ in this part of the world. Frankly, I think standard greetings work better, but what do I know?”
    Nicholas Sparks, The Last Song

    Woody Allen
    “I'm not a drinker, my body won't tolerate...eh...spirits, really. I had two martinis New Years Eve and I tried to hi-jack an elevator and fly it to Cuba.”

    “And now, sis. Transportation for the Hunters, you say? Good timing. I was just about ready to roll."
    These demigods will also need a ride," Artemis said, pointing to us. "Some of Chiron's campers."

    No problem!" Apollo checked us out. "Let's see... Thalia, right? I've heard all about you.".

    Thalia blushed. "Hi, Lord Apollo."

    Zues's girl. yes? Makes you my half sister. Used to be a tree didn't you? Glad your back. I hate it when pretty girls get turned into trees. Man, I remeber one time-”

    “Hi there," Tucker says brightly, like we're bumping into each other on the street.
    "Uh, hi."
    "Nice night for stalking," he observes.

    "Get your butt in here, Carrots.”
    Cynthia Hand, Hallowed

    Shel Silverstein
    “It was missing a piece.
    And it was not happy.
    So it set off in search
    of its missing piece.
    And as it rolled
    it sang this song - "Oh I'm lookin' for my missin' piece
    I'm lookin' for my missin' piece
    Hi-dee-ho, here I go,
    Lookin' for my missin' piece.”

    “Something about telling that story made my gut grow back together."
    What?"
    Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud."
    That's who you really like. The people you can think out loud in front of."
    The people who've been in your secret hiding places."
    The people you bite your thumb in front of."
    Hi."
    Hi."

    “What’s not so great is that all this technology is destroying our social skills. Not only have we given up on writing letters to each other, we barely even talk to each other. People have become so accustomed to texting that they’re actually startled when the phone rings. It’s like we suddenly all have Batphones. If it rings, there must be danger.

    Now we answer, “What happened? Is someone tied up in the old sawmill?”

    “No, it’s Becky. I just called to say hi.”

    “Well you scared me half to death. You can’t just pick up the phone and try to talk to me like that. Don’t the tips of your fingers work?”
    Ellen DeGeneres, Seriously... I'm Kidding

    Jamie McGuire
    “You're not going to say hi to Thomas?" I whispered.
    He didn't look at me when he spoke, watching his family hug and laugh. "I got one night with you. I'm not going to waste a second of it.”
    Jamie McGuire, Beautiful Disaster

    Marie Lu
    “You know, sometimes I wonder what things would be like if I just ... met you one day. Like normal people do. If I just walked by you on some street one sunny morning and thought you were cute, stopped, shook your hand, and said, "Hi, I'm Daniel.”
    Marie Lu, Prodigy

    Rick Riordan
    “As I got closer to the fence, I held my shirt over my nose to block the smell. One stallion waded through the muck and whinnied angrily at me. He bared his teeth, which were pointed like a bear's.
    I tried to talk to him in my mind. I can do that with most horses.
    Hi, I told him. I'm going to clean your stables. Won't that be great?
    Yes!
    The horse said. Come inside! Eat you! Tasty half-blood!
    But I'm Poseidon's son,
    I protested. He created horses.
    Usually this gets me VIP treatment in the equestrian world, not this time.
    Yes! The horse agreed enthusiastically. Poseidon can come in, too! We will eat you both! Seafood!
    Seafood!
    The other horses chimed in as they waded through the field.”
    Rick Riordan, The Battle of the Labyrinth

    “-BDB on the board-
    Knitter's Anonimous
    May 8, 2006
    Rhage (in his bedroom posting in V's room on the board)
    Hi, my name is V.
    ("Hi, V")
    I've been knitting for 125 years now.
    (*gasping noises*)
    It's begun to impact my personal relationships: my brothers think I'm a nancy. It's begun to affect my health: I'm getting a callus on my forefinger and I find bits of yarn in all my pockets and I'm starting to smell like wool. I can't concentrate at work: I keep picturing all these lessers in Irish sweaters and thick socks.
    (*sounds of sympathy*)
    I've come seeking a community of people who, like me, are trying not to knit.
    Can you help me?
    (*We're with you*)
    Thank you (*takes out hand-knitted hankie in pink*)
    (*sniffles*)
    ("We embrace you, V")

    Vishous (in the pit): Oh hell no...you did not just put that up. And nice spelling in the title. Man...you just have to roll up on me, don't you. I got four words for you, my brother.

    Rhage: Four words? Okay...lemme see... Rhage, you're so sexy.
    hmmm....
    Rhage, you're SO smart. No wait! Rhage, you're SO right! That's it, isn't it...g'head. You can tell me.

    Vishous: First one starts with a "P"
    Use your head for the other three.
    Bastard.

    Rhage: P? Hmm... Please pass the yarn

    Vishous: Payback is a bitch!

    Rhage: Ohhhhhhhhhhhh
    I'm so scuuuuuurred.
    Can you whip me up a blanket to hide under?”

    “And, whoa!" He turned to Mr.D. "Your the wine dude? No way!"
    Mr.D turned hi eyes away from me and gave Nico a look of loathing. "The wine dude?"
    "Dionysus, right? Oh, wow! I've got your figurine!"
    "My figurine."
    "In my game, Mythomagic. And holofoil card, too! And even though you've only got like five hundred attack points and everybody thinks your the lamest god card, I totally think your powers are sweet!"
    "Ah." Mr.D seemed truly perplexed, which probably saved my life. "Well, that's...gratifying.”
    Rick Riordan, The Titan’s Curse

    Haruki Murakami
    “I really like you, Midori. A lot.”
    “How much is a lot?”
    “Like a spring bear,” I said.
    “A spring bear?” Midori looked up again. “What’s that all about? A spring bear.”
    “You’re walking through a field all by yourself one day in spring, and this sweet little bear cub with velvet fur and shiny little eyes comes walking along. And he says to you, “Hi, there, little lady. Want to tumble with me?’ So you and the bear cub spend the whole day in each other’s arms, tumbling down this clover-covered hill. Nice, huh?”
    “Yeah. Really nice.”
    “That’s how much I like you.”
    Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

    Rick Riordan
    “Ever come home and found your room messed up? Like some helpful person (hi, Mom) has tried to "clean" it, and suddenly you can't find anything? And even if nothing is missing, you get that creepy feeling like somebody's been looking through your private stuff and dusting everything with lemon furniture polish?”
    Rick Riordan, The Sea of Monsters

    Rick Riordan
    “Something was wrong with Luke," Annabeth muttered, poking at the fire with her knife. "Did you notice the way he was acting?"
    "He looked pretty pleased to me," I said. "Like he'd spent a nice day torturing heroes."
    "That's not true! There was something wrong with him. He looked...nervous. He told his monsters to spare me. He wanted to tell me something."
    "Probably, 'Hi, Annabeth! Sit here with me and watch while I tear your friends apart. It'll be fun!”
    Rick Riordan

    “My mother made a squeaking sound that might of been either "yes" or "help".
    Poseidon took it as a yes and came in.
    Paul was looking back and forth between us, trying to read our expressions.
    Finally he stepped forward.
    "Hi, I'm Paul Blofis."
    Poseidon raised an eyebrow and then shook his hand.
    "Blowfish, did you say?"
    "Ah, no. Blofis, actually."
    "Oh, I see," Poseidon said. "A shame. I quite like blowfish. I am Poseidon."
    "Poseidon? That's an interesting name."
    "Yes, I like it. I've gone by other names, but I do prefer Poseidon."
    "Like the god of the sea."
    "Very much like that, yes"
    "Well!" My mother interrupted. "Um, were so glad you could drop by. Paul, this is Percy's father."
    "Ah." Paul nodded, though he didn't look real pleased. "I see."
    Poseidon smiled at me. "There you are, my boy. And Tyson, hello, son!"
    "Daddy!" Tyson [shouted]...
    Paul's jaw dropped. He stared at my mother. "Tyson is..."
    "Not mine," she promised. "It's a long story.”
    Rick Riordan, The Battle of the Labyrinth

    Cassandra Clare
    “Is this Clarissa Fray?" The voice on the other end of the phone sounded familiar, though not immediately identifiable.
    Clary twirled the phone cord nervously around her finger. "Yeees?"
    "Hi, I'm one of the knife-carrying hooligans you met last night in Pandemonium? I"m afraid I made a bad impression and was hoping you'd give me a chance to make it up to-"
    "SIMON!" Clary held the phone away from her ear as he cracked up laughing. "That is so not funny!"
    "Sure it is. You just don't see the humor."
    "Jerk." Clary sighed, leaning up against the wall.”
    Cassandra Clare, City of Bones

    Paulien Cornelisse
    “Zelf denk ik dat de meest onderscheidende eigenschap van de mens is: schaamte. Dieren hebben buitengewoon weinig schaamte. Ooit wel eens een hagedis van een tak zien vallen met een blik van 'Oeps! Hihi'?”
    Paulien Cornelisse, Taal is zeg maar echt mijn ding

    “Sophia looked down her long nose at the girl. “Who are you?”

    “I’m Abigail, ma’am,” she said, curtsying. “This is my brother, Jamie. I apologize for him.”

    Sophia arched an eyebrow. “I’ll wager you do that quite a lot.”

    Abigail sighed, sounding world-weary. “Yes, I do.”

    “Good girl.” Sophia almost smiled. “Younger brothers can be a chore sometimes, but one must persevere.”

    “Yes, ma’am,” Abigail said solemnly.

    “Come on, Jamie,” Alistair said. “Let’s go into dinner before they form a Society for Bossy Older Sisters.”

    “Nie mogę więc się skarżyć, jednak coś z życia wyciągnąłem, a że inni więcej, no cóż, zresztą kto ich wie, każdy tylko trajluje, przechwala się, że z tą, że z
    tamtą, a naprawdę bida z nędzą, wraca do domu, siada, buty zdejmuje, do łóżka się kładzie sam z sobą, więc po co tyle gadania, ja przynajmniej, wie pan, jak człowiek tak na sobie się skupi i zacznie sobie małe, nieznaczne przyjemnostki świadczyć, nie tylko
    zresztą erotyczne, bo na przykład, może się pan jak basza zabawić kuleczkami z chleba, przecieraniem binokli, ze dwa lata to uprawiałem, tu mnie głowę suszą sprawami rodzinnymi, biurowymi, polityką, a ja sobie binokle… otóż, mówię, co to ja chciałem, acha, pan nie ma pojęcia jak się od takich drobnostek ogromnieje, wprost nie do wiary, człowiek się rozrasta, swędzi pana pięta to jakby gdzieś daleko na Wołyniu, na kresach, zresztą ze swędzenia pięty też można mieć trochę satysfakcji, wszystko zależy od
    podejścia, ujęcia intencji, panie, jeśli odcisk może boleć, to dlaczegożby nie miał i rozkoszy przysporzyć? A wsadzenie języka w zakamarki zębów? Co chciałem powiedzieć? Epikureizm, czyli rozkosznisium, może być dwojakie, bo primum dzik, bawół, lew, secundum pchełka, muszka, ergo w skali wielkiej i w skali małej, ale, jeśli w małej, to
    potrzebna jest zdolność mikroskopowania, dozyfikowania i właściwego podzielenia, lub rozczłonkowania, bo jedzenie karmelka możesz pan rozłożyć na etapy primum wąchanie secundum lizanie, tertium wsadzanie, quartum zabawki z językiem, ze ślinką, quintum wyplucie na rękę, przypatrzenie się, sextum rozpęknięcie za pomocą zęba, że poprzestanę na tych kilku etapach, ale, jak pan widzi, można już sobie jako tako poradzić
    i bez dancingów, szampana, kolacyjek, kawioru, dekoltów, frufru, pończoszek, majteczek, biustów, wyprężeń, skotek hi, hi, hi, ojej, co pan, jak pan śmie, hihihi, hahaha, ;hochoch, yych, yych, z karczkiem. Ja przy kolacji sobie siedzę, z rodziną gawędzę, z lokatorami, a przecie i tak trochę paryskiego szantanu sobie po cichu wyskrobię. I niech mnie przyłapią! Tle, he, he, nie przyłapią! Cała rzecz polega na pewnego rodzaju wewnętrznym
    wymoszczeniu się rozkosznisiowym i przyjemnościowym z wachlarzami, z pióropuszami, w rodzaju Sułtana Selima Wspaniałego. Ważne są wystrzały artylerii. Oraz bicie w dzwony.

    Wstał, ukłonił się, zaśpiewał:

    Gdy się nie ma, co się lubi
    To się lubi, co się ma!”

    “Možda bi trebalo da ih mrzim ali ne mogu. Ja nemam dva srca jedno za mržnju drugo za ljubav. Ovo što imam sad zna samo za tugu. Moja molitva i moja pokora moj život i moja smrt sve to pripada Bogu stvoritelju svijeta. Ali moja žalost pripada meni.”

    “Ne gunđam i ne žalim se (ne znam zašto bih), a ljudi se čude i kao da im je krivo što sam ja miran i veseo. A ja se njima čudim što gube vrijeme na nerazumnosti, bolje bi im bilo da žive.
    Ali im to ne kažem, ljudi ne vole kad im se govori istina. I žalim ih što se opterećuju nevoljama bez kojih bi mogli da budu. Dosta nam je nevolja bez kojih se ne može.”

    “Ona je živjela u stalnom strahu da će nešto važno i lijepo u životu propustiti. Često je putovala a još češće patila jer ne putuje. Smatrala je da su pravi povod i sreća uvijek negdje drugdje stalno je bila puna planova kako da ih uhvati za rep kako da u stalnom gibanju pronađe onaj kristalni trenutak kada se barem tako kažu snovi život pretvara u bajku.”

    “Ne znam s kim se vi družite, ali ja već više meseci, kako sednem za neki sto, čujem kukanje. Žale se ljudi na dinar, na cene, na penzije, na situaciju ovde ili tamo, na mlade, na stare... I kukaju... Sve mi je dosadnije, zato, da se viđam i da se srećem. Pa mi je lepše da se zatvorim u svoju sobu...da prelistam neku poštenu knjigu i da još malo verujem, đavo ga odneo, da na svetu ima i lepih stvari... A ima ih. Verujte”

    Meša Selimović
    “Četrdeset mi je godina, ružno doba: čovjek je još mlad da bi imao želja a već star da ih ostvaruje. Tada se u svakome gase nemiri, da bi postao jak navikom i stečenom sigurnošću u nemoći što dolazi. A ja tek činim što je trebalo učiniti davno, u bujnom cvjetanju tijela, kad su svi bezbrojni putevi dobri, a sve zablude korisne koliko i istine. Šteta što nemam deset godina više pa bi me starost čuvala od pobuna, ili deset godina manje pa bi mi bilo svejedno. Jer trideset godina je mladost, to sad mislim, kad sam se nepovratno udaljio od nje, mladost koja se ničega ne boji, pa ni sebe.”

    “Usne jedino zato postoje
    da s nekim podelis nesto svoje
    I da ti sapat saptom vrate...
    I nikad nikom nemoj ih dati
    ako ne ume da ti ih vrati
    toplije,mekse, mladje i sladje.
    Jer usne samo zato postoje
    da osmeh po tvome osmehu skroje.”
    Miroslav Antić
