    “I only steal because my dear old family needs the money to live!"
    Locke Lamora made this proclamation with his wine glass held high; he and the other Gentleman Bastards were seated at the old witchwood table. . . . The others began to jeer.
    "Liar!" they chorused
    "I only steal because this wicked world won't let me work an honest trade!" Calo cried, hoisting his own glass.
    "LIAR!"
    "I only steal," said Jean, "because I've temporarily fallen in with bad company."
    "LIAR!"

    "BASTARD!”

    "No," said Locke, before taking another deep draught of the warm water in the decanter. "I got it from the neck of the governor's mistress."

    "You can't be serious."

    "In the governor's manor."

    "Of all the -"

    "In the governor's bed."

    "Damned lunatic!"

    "With the governor sleeping next to her."

    The night quiet was broken by the high, distant trill of a whistle, the traditional swarming noise of city watches everywhere. Several other whistles joined in a few moments later.

    "It is possible," said Locke with a sheepish grin, "that I have been slightly too bold.”

    Toby Barlow
    “Everyone is always looking in the wrong direction,
    we worry about our lovers while losing our jobs
    we stress out about cancer while our children run away
    we ponder the stars while burning the earth.

    is almost never the one that hits us.”

    Toby Barlow
    “The theory is simple.
    Every boy, every man, is really
    a bit of a golden retriever
    or a big chocolate Lab.
    Watch any man's eyes
    at the bounce of a ball.
    His head tilts slightly sideways, just a hair,
    as a primitive focus
    comes to life.”
    Toby Barlow, Sharp Teeth
