Many people had haircuts that were short on the sides and longer on top, with bangs falling partially over their faces or tucked behind their ears. They looked so ambiguous that I wasn't sure which gender they indicated, or if they indicated gender at all.

"Not bad," I said. "But if you overuse it, it gets less funny."
"Your dad is less funny," Gilaf said.
"See, now that doesn't work at all," I said.
"I was trying not to overuse it," Gilaf said, "so I changed it slightly. Why are moms funnier than dads?"
"Sexism, probably," I said.
Arturo was outpacing us now, possibly to avoid Gilaf's jokes.
"Sexism is funny to you?" Gilaf asked.

»Hm«, brummte Chak vielsagend.
oh, verdammt noch mal, nicht du auch noch!, dachte Fern. Dieses ständige Ge-hm-e ging ihr allmählich auf die Nerven.

Being left behind made Bob sad. It probably made those friends sad too. Bob wanted to snuggle those friends. He wanted to sing to those friends. He wanted to talk to those friends so those friends could also be safe.

i love you so much Bob

The ships would not snuggle with Bob. The ships did not have minds. They did not have friends. Bob felt sorry for these ships because they could not have friends.
am I ... Bob?
(snuggle with me)

Wann immer man einen Augenblick der Freude erlebt, tritt die Schönheit in die Welt.

most important part in a Sanderson book: check!
Hoid here is going to accompany you on your mission.

"This is what you wanted, yes, to be a woman? And not a vulture? So then..." He waved a hand, poorly masking his own discomfort. "Here are the consequences."
"Merulo," I moaned, clutching at him with a red-stained hand. "My insides are coming out."
"No, they're not. [...]"
I lowered myself into a chair, barely containing a sob. "It hurts."
"Women go through this every month, [...]"

I heard that to demonstrate a proper understanding of a subject, you should be able to simplify it enough for a child to understand. Or if not a child, maybe me.

I Have Been Transmogrified into a Member of the Fairer Sex, and Am Therefore Encumbered by Some Enormous Melons, Some Knockers if You Will, You Know, Hooters, Bags of Sand, or Whateven Term You Know Them by, and by God Do They Weigh Heavily on My Spine.

like the gathered crowd had any intention of wasting more than the barest glance for his ratty little face. They were too busy imagining themselves hanging off Maximillian's biceps.

Cyrus shifted, making one last attempt to fluff up the lumpy sack the inn had the nerve to call a pillow

this book is fantastic

Recently, he'd been trying his hand at embroidery.
Results varied. Those cursed beads were so fiddly.

He'd long since believed that beauty sleep was an essential part of a wrongdoer's routine.
[...] It was true that sleeplessness could add a touch of drama to villainous proceedings, but Cyrus had never bought into it himself. For one, when he was overly tired he tended to become weepy. For another, eye bags and greasy hair didn't fit his aesthetic.

"No, humans use 'Miss' as an honorific. Their version of 'Slira.' Their honorifics are gender-specific, so mostly they just assume." Another pause. "Yes, they often assume wrong, from what I've seen."

this.

"I just usually work alone because humans.. stare."
"They do stare. Why is staring their preferred communication method?"
"I don't know [...] for me, at least, it's because of my skin."
[...] This human had variations of coloring on their skin. Apparently, that was unique.
[Which felt very ironic, since every human had some kind of skin variation. I did not see why Lyric should be stared at more for theirs.]

"Humans should stop pretending like they can have more than one specialty," I said. "A botanist mechanic human is almost as ridiculous as a smuggler pilot engineer human."
sagt es aber sieht smuggler pilot engineer als best friend

Dey sieht heute aus wie jemand aus dem Immobiliengewerbe am Casual Friday oder wie die Aufsicht bei einem schottischen Abschlussball.

Torian had nearly forgotten their destination in favor of a perfect life in the stars. She'd spent the early part of the morning reading, then had set a pot of vegetable stew to simmer while she lay down for a nap.

Kein Sänger schweigt freiwillig.

Der polizeiliche Umgang mit 3D-Druckern war der klassische, den es bei jeder neuen Technologie gegeben hatte. [und] zu kriminellen Zwecken genutzt werden würden, aber niemand konnte so recht sagen, zu welchen. Und niemand, am wenigsten die Polizei, würde wertvolle Ressourcen auf sie verschwenden, ehe sie nicht ein ausreichend großes Problem darstellten, um einen öffentlichen Aufschrei auszulösen.

Ugh. Torian Razner had a human lover. If I'd learned one thing watching entertainment pods with him, it was that "love" equaled
"complications," especially for sentient species like humans or nylarians.

Ich habe schon so einigen wirklich gefährlichen magischen Mistkerlen Auge in Auge gegenübergestanden, und auch wenn ich nicht immer den Sieg davongetragen habe, so doch immer das Leben.

Als ich losfuhr, war es kalt und grau gewesen, die Sonne ließ sich nur gelegentlich kurz blicken, bevor sie wieder hinter einer Wolke verschwand, um heimlich eine zu rauchen. Oder sonst was zu machen.

Punkt fünf bestand Johnson darauf, dass ich nach Hause ging. »Müde Leute leisten keine gute Arbeit«, sagte er, was bereits einen der Gründe ahnen ließ, warum er unsere Truppe verlassen hatte.

»Hab ich's dir doch gesagt«, sagte er zu seiner Begleiterin, einer kleinen rundlichen weißen Frau mit kleinen blauen Augen und braunem Undercut. Sie ignorierte ihn und streckte mir die Hand hin. »Ich bin Victor, freut mich, dich kennenzulernen.« Den Namen betonte sie auf eine Weise, die andeutete: Das ist ein Hinweis, mal schauen, ob du ihn kapierst. Ich nahm seine Hand und sagte, ich freute mich auch.

Meine Mum wollte außerdem wissen, ob ich mit Beverley einen Geburtsvorbereitungskurs machte und dafür sorgte, dass sie auch ordentlich aß. Ordentlich essen hieß bei Mum, dass Bev täglich möglichst ihr eigenes Gewicht in Reis zu sich nehmen sollte, also log ich und sagte ja.
