“His chessboard was laid out, and I was about to throw a bowling ball through it. Always trust in crazy.”
― K.F. Breene, Born in Fire

“The commander had decided to take offense at the fact that the first female officer in Recon’s history had been assigned to his squad. Recon was a notoriously dangerous posting with a high fatality rate, and Root didn’t think it was any place for a girlie. Well, he was just going to have to get used to the idea, because Holly Short had no intention of quitting for him or anybody else.”
― Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl

“Spud’s Spud Emporium.”
― Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl

“I know what you’re thinking,” said Root. “Why am I picking on you every day? Why don’t I ever bawl out those other layabouts?” Holly said nothing, but agreement was written all over her face. “I’ll tell you why, shall I?” Holly risked a nod. “It’s because you’re a girl.”
― Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl

“There are a lot of hopes riding on you. But there is a lot of prejudice against you too.”
― Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl

“If I were a male—one of your precious sprites—we wouldn’t even be having this conversation.”
― Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl

“I don’t know why it is, Captain Short, but whenever you start agreeing with me, I get decidedly nervous.” Root was right to be nervous. If he’d known how this straightforward Recon assignment was going to turn out, he would probably have retired then and there. Tonight, history was going to be made. And it wasn’t the discovery-of-radium, first-man-on-the-moon, happy kind of history. It was the Spanish Inquisition, here-comes-the-Hindenburg bad kind of history. Bad for humans and fairies. Bad for everyone.”
― Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl

“He glanced up sharply when Holly entered through the pneumatic double doors. “Anybody see you come in here?” Holly thought about it. “The FBI, CIA, NSA, DEA, MI6. Oh, and the EIB.” Foaly frowned. “The EIB?” “Everyone in the building.” Holly smirked.”
― Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl

“Confidence is ignorance,” advised the centaur. “If you’re feeling cocky, it’s because there’s something you don’t know.”
― Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl

“Don’t think about it, Holly told herself. Don’t think about the white-hot magma flow that’s going to engulf this tiny craft. Don’t think about hurtling toward the surface with a MACH 2 force trying to turn you inside out. And certainly don’t think about the blood-crazed troll ready to disembowel you with his tusks. Nope. Don’t think about any of that stuff.…Too late.”
― Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl

“The pod groaned and complained, fifty-year-old rivets threatening to pop. Holly shook her head. The first thing she was going to do on her return was kick Foaly straight in the hairy behind. She felt like a nut inside a shell, between a gnome’s molars. Doomed.”
― Eoin Colfer, Artemis Fowl

“I just want to stay wrapped around him for as long as possible, fighting sleep and forgetting about the rest of the world.”
― Karen M. McManus, One of Us Is Lying

“That’s hot.” I mean it as a joke, but my voice comes out like a growl and when her lips part I kiss her before she can laugh. A shock of energy shoots through me as I cup her face in my hands, my fingers grasping her cheeks and the line of her jaw. It must be the adrenaline that’s making my heart pound so fast. The whole nobody-else-could-possibly-understand-this bond. Or maybe it’s her soft lips and green apple–scented hair, and the way she winds her arms around my neck like she can’t stand to let go. Either way I keep kissing her as long as she lets me, and when she steps away I try to pull her back because it wasn’t enough.”
― Karen M. McManus, One of Us Is Lying

― Dave Villager, Dave the Villager 31: An Unofficial Minecraft Story

“They began running through this room, Dave placing torches as they ran, and they passed mountains of treasure: huge piles of gold ingots, emeralds and diamonds and lots of strange artifacts and weapons. "My gosh," gasped Milo, "I could spend a hundred years in here, cataloging all these treasures." "You do that," said Carl. "The rest of us will keep running from the husks.”
― Dave Villager, Dave the Villager 31: An Unofficial Minecraft Story

“You first, Carl," said Dave. "Why me?" said Carl. "I'm not jumping down into that dark pit. " "It has to be you first as you're the heaviest," said Dave. "We don't want you landing on the rest of us." "How rude," said Carl, but he jumped down into the darkness nonetheless. "Waaaaaaaa!" Carl screamed, then THOOM, there was the sound of something heavy hitting the ground. "I'm okay!" Carl called up. "Oww," groaned Milo. "I'm not." "Carl!" said Dave. "Did you land on Milo?!" "I didn't mean to," said Carl.”

“No foe can stand against us. We are all seasoned warriors. Even the creeper isn't too terrible at fighting." "Wow, Spidroth," said Carl, "I think that's the nicest thing you've ever said about me. And to return the favor, I want to tell you how much I love that bright red skin of yours. It makes you look just like a big, freaky apple.”
― Dave Villager, Dave the Villager 31: An Unofficial Minecraft Story

“Knock it off, you two," said Dave. "Porkins is right — you need to share." "Yes, Dad," said Carl. "Wait," said Alex, looking confused, "is Dave your dad, Carl? I never knew that." "Oh brother," said Carl. "Wait, he's your brother?" said Alex. "Now I'm very confused.”

― Dave Villager, Dave the Villager 31: An Unofficial Minecraft Story

“If Dave can master his powers, he'll be able to see attacks before they're coming, and no one will be able to defeat him in battle." "I dunno," said Alex, "what if there was a ravager the size of the mountain, and it could shoot other ravagers out of its mouth, and those ravagers were on fire. Would Dave still be able to defeat that?”

― Dave Villager, Dave the Villager 31: An Unofficial Minecraft Story

“rolling her eyes. "My uncle used to claim he had a magic pig," said Carl. "According to him, the pig used to poop solid gold blocks. My uncle lived in a big mansion with a swimming pool, but then one day he came downstairs and could smell bacon. One of his maids had accidentally cooked the pig. From that day forward, he never ate pig again.”

“Dave, it's okay to admit that you're a noob," said Carl. "A lot of noobs go on to live happy and fulfilling lives." "Shut up, Carl," said Dave.”
― Dave Villager, Dave the Villager 31: An Unofficial Minecraft Story

“Well, try harder," said Spidroth. "Don't look with your eyes; look with the Sight." "Look with your butt," said Carl. "That's the key to being a mighty warrior — you must use the power of your butt to vanquish your foes.”

“I quickly scrambled back up to my feet just in time to see Vinny’s big hand coming right at me. I swiftly ducked underneath it and then swung my sword at the giant’s arm, grazing his right arm. “Ooof!” Vinny groaned and reeled back. I took the opportunity to swing at him with another strike, this time at his feet. Vinny stumbled and shook as he tried to keep his balance. As sneaky as he sometimes can be, Jack had already finished digging a hole behind the giant while he was busy fighting me. Vinny, as he kept taking his steps backwards, tripped on the hole and came crashing down on the ground below. Jack and I both jumped on top of the giant. I smacked him a little with the blunt side of my sword, while Jack slapped the giant with a porkchop. “Ready to answer questions now?” I asked the giant. The giant opened his mouth to reply but was promptly slapped by Jack with another porkchop. “Jack, you have to let him talk first, then smack him if he refuses to answer,” I explained. “Oh, right. My bad. I was really into it,” Jack apologized, “To be fair, I was just tossed through a barn. I feel like I deserve a bit of vengeance.” “Okay, okay. Stop with the porkchop slapping,” Vinny pleaded, “I’m a vegan.” “Oh, sorry,” Jack reached into his pocket and pulled out a roll of bread and then slapped the giant with the bread instead.”

“Life as an honest person could be difficult, but life as a criminal always caught up to you. She knew friends and family members who resorted to stealing or writing bad checks to get money for drugs. No matter how careful they were, the story always had the same ending. It was very much, she thought, like circling a drain. You were going down at some point. You just didn’t know when.”
― Karen McQuestion, The Moonlight Child

“If Amy had gone with her to Magnificent Nutrition that morning, she would have confronted Dawn right from the start, whereas Sharon didn’t say anything until Dawn had insulted and threatened Niki. Two different ways to be strong.”
