Choosing instead to step on a landmine and be blown to pieces

Marcus felt that their beauty was not to be trusted. It was a dangerous beauty

We are your family now

If people saw him building a giant pair of silver wings, then they too would believe that they could fly

You cannot break me. You see, I know for certain that my parents were capable of flight

This was how they learned their most valuable lesson about death - that after it there is life again, that things that perish will rise again, that after every ending there is another beginning

I wept not, so to stone within I grew.

He didn't maintain my illusion of myself, he gave me an illusion of myself. Before I met him, I never thought of myself as an actress. Boy, he sidetracked me in a great way!

I don't necessarily love the sports per se, I love the stories behind them. Also in a kind of perverse way I like to study what it does to us, why we care so much. It's caring about something that's utterly meaningless.

If everyone is thinking alike then somebody isn t thinking.

I love prints of skulls and bones and have some taxidermy - a crow and a rabbit - to remind me of home. I like art and have a big portrait of Bjork.

The institution of the family has very few friends in Washington. There are lobbyists in Washington for every possible entity, from the possum-growers of America to every kind of crazy thing.

The biggest problem with the deficit is programs that are unconstitutional and wasteful.

Ladies and gentlemen, I stand before you a humble champion and still the toughest SOB around baby.

An editor named Kerrie Hughes wanted me to write a short story that brought my fire-spider Smudge from my goblin books into the present-day world. I came up with libriomancy as a way to make that happen.
