Quotes from Kim Harrison

the mad have a grace all their own

Sure, he had a wife and fifty-four kids, but he looked like a college freshman. A yummy college freshman majoring in Oh-my-god-I-gotta-get-me-some-of-that.

Sure am glad I'm not royalty, I muttered. I wouldn't want to have to bump uglies with someone I can't stand. On a regular basis. And no one else. Ow! I exclaimed, trying to yank my fingers from Trent but finding them caught. Then I colored, realizing what I'd said. Oh… sorry, I stammered, meaning it. That was insensitive. Trent's frown turned into a sly smirk. Bump uglies? he said, eyes on the table behind me. You are a font of gutter slang, Rachel. We must do this again.

You cannot thrash the person who makes you coffee. It's a rule somewhere.

But he's Rachel Candy! -Both Jenks and Al

Your welcome means more to me, Ivy Alisha Tamwood, than a thousand souls. Watching Rachel work is a wonder of one catastrophe after another.

We were innocent once. How could it have gone so bad?

You think Ivy's a planner? She has nothing on a motivated elf with too much money.

You look like the vamp who bled the cat.

I'm not going to pick her up and carry her screaming to the basement," Trent said. "It's a workday. Besides, she has a crutch." "Crutch or no, she's hurt!" Ceri protested. "I mean," Trent said intently, "she can hit me with it if I do something she doesn't like.

Tink's a Disney whore!- Jenks

You had this all planned, didn't you?' I accused. 'Thought you could come in here and seduce me like you do everyone else?' It wasn't as if I could be angry, lying atop him as I was, but I tried.

I won't snatch, harm, or scare to death people with you or use checking up on you as an excuse to cause trouble. You're worse than my mother, Rachel." "Mine, too," Jenks muttered.

The car picked up speed, and the sound seemed to lull me.I could relax, I thought as I felt the tingling of circulation in my limbs. I was in Trent's car, wrapped in a blanket, and held in his arms. He wouldn't let anything hurt me. He wasn't singing, though,I mused.Shouldn't he be singing?

Al was looking at me in disbelief. "Not your lover?" "No." "But he is Rachel candy," Al said, his confusion too honest to be faked.

Nothing is so hard that it can't be found by searching.

I'd watch your mouth, he said, tilting his head as he looked at my ID.The last lunker who laughed at her picture spent the night in the emergency room with a drink umbrella jammed up his nose.

Rachel, what do you do? Put an ad in the paper for trouble? (Glenn)

The car was full of unhappy people heading west. It was the Great American Family Road Trip, all right. Whaaa-hoo!

Numb, I took the perfectly browned puff. Okay. Let me see if I have this right. Al provokes me into defending myself. I nearly kill him. Then Newt tries to kill me, thinking I'm Ku'Sox. Al stops her, saving my life. And now we're all going to have s'mores together?

Breaking rules isn't bad when what you're doing is more important than the rule itself

I gestured my frustration. "I don't know. She's much better already. She wasn't talking half an hour ago. Look at her now." We all turned, finding Ceri sobbing quietly and drinking her tea in small reverent sips as the pixy girls hovered over her. Three were plating her long, fair hair and another was singing to her. Okay," I said as we turned back. "Bad example.

You are pathetic, Rache, Jenks said, and my eyes darted to the top of the rack and I saw him standing there, hands on his hips and frowning at me, his wings a silver blur. Rachel and Trent, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G. No wait, it was a hospital room, and he had his hands on your ass and you had your tongue down his throat. I can see why you might be confused.

A slow smile curved over my face, and I leaned down over him. No, I said. Wishes are lies. Tell me you're going to leave. Tell me you're not going to stay. Tell me that it's only for a while so I can enjoy today, I whispered in his ear, as if saying it louder would break me. And when you go, don't think me cold when I don't cry. I can't cry anymore, Pierce. It hurts too much.
