“Scientist and smart fellow learner-of-stuff, want to do samurai-monster training with us? We intend to become dangerous.”

“My people understood that time is an ocean, not a river,鈥� she said to them all. 鈥淚t doesn鈥檛 flow away and pour itself out, done and gone. It simply is鈥攅ternal and entire. Mortals might move through it in one direction, but that鈥檚 no reflection of its true nature鈥攐nly of our limitations. Past and future are our own constructs.”
― Laini Taylor, Dreams of Gods & Monsters

“MirkerLurker: I thought the characters were the reason anyone read Monstrous Sea.

rainmaker: You mean like, shipping?

MirkerLurker: No, not shipping - shipping's great, and I do it all the time, but I mean... the characters themselves. The struggles they have to go through, and when you really love them, how much they affect you. When the characters are good, they make you care about everything else. That's why I draw them. It probably sounds dumb, but they're like real people to me. And this will probably sound worse, but sometimes I like them better than real people. I can empathize with characters. Real people are harder.”
― Francesca Zappia, Eliza and Her Monsters

“On opening night, standing under the Rogers's marquee, [Lin] realized that if Eliza's struggle was the element of Hamilton's story that had inspired him the most, then the show itself was a part of her legacy.”

“I鈥檝e seen other universes. I鈥檝e been to them.
And I destroyed them.”

“I鈥檝e seen more stars than anyone alive.
I鈥檝e killed more stars than anyone will ever see.”

“Suppose 鈥楬eaven鈥� and 鈥楬ell鈥� are just other universes.鈥�
鈥淛ust other universes,鈥� Eliza repeated, smiling. 鈥淎nd the Big Bang was just an explosion.鈥�
Dr. Chaudhary chuckled. 鈥淚s another universe bigger or smaller than the idea of God? Does it matter? If there is a sphere where 鈥榓ngels鈥� dwell, is it a matter of semantics, whether we choose to call it Heaven?鈥�
鈥淣o,鈥� Eliza replied, swiftly and firmly, a bit to her own surprise. 鈥淚t isn鈥檛 a matter of semantics. It鈥檚 a matter of motive.鈥�
鈥淚 beg your pardon?鈥� Dr. Chaudhary gave her a quizzical look. Something in Eliza鈥檚 tone had hardened.
鈥淲hat do they want?鈥� she asked. 鈥淚 think that鈥檚 the bigger question. They came from somewhere.鈥� There is another universe. 鈥淎nd if that somewhere has nothing to do with 鈥楪od鈥� 鈥濃€擨t doesn鈥檛.鈥斺€渢hen they鈥檙e acting on their own behalf. And that鈥檚 scary.”

“Her mind was still tiptoeing along the boundary of consciousness, in that state of semi-waking that spins threads between dream and real, and for a moment she felt herself to be a girl who has come down off a porch to confront a great darkness with a tiny light.”
― Laini Taylor, Dreams of Gods & Monsters

“How often did this happen to people, this not knowing where in the world you were?”
― Laini Taylor, Dreams of Gods & Monsters

“rainmaker: Weird, I didn鈥檛 know you had such a thing for timid guys.

MirkerLurker: Really does it for me when a guy is paralyzed with fear on a regular basis
.
rainmaker: Aw. Sad.

MirkerLurker: What鈥檚 sad?

rainmaker: That it would never work between us. I鈥檓 too courageous.”
― Francesca Zappia, Eliza and Her Monsters

“Serving [Hamilton's] legacy didn't just mean commemorating him, though: It also meant continuing his work. [Eliza] crusaded against slavery, as Hamilton had. And this widow of an orphan helped to found the first private orphanage in New York. That's the real power of a legacy: We tell stories of people who are gone because like any powerful stories, they have the potential to inspire, and to change the world.”
― Jeremy McCarter, Hamilton: The Revolution

“Good exercise,' aka the actual worst phrase in the English language next to 'wake up' and 'all the eggs are gone.”

“HIGGINS [sitting down beside her] Rubbish! you shall marry an ambassador. You shall marry the Governor-General of India or the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, or somebody who wants a deputy-queen. I'm not going to have my masterpiece thrown away on Freddy.

LIZA. You think I like you to say that. But I haven't forgot what you said a minute ago; and I won't be coaxed round as if I was a baby or a puppy. If I can't have kindness, I'll have independence.

HIGGINS. Independence? That's middle class blasphemy. We are all dependent on one another, every soul of us on earth.

LIZA [rising determinedly] I'll let you see whether I'm dependent on you. If you can preach, I can teach. I'll go and be a teacher.

HIGGINS. What'll you teach, in heaven's name?

LIZA. What you taught me. I'll teach phonetics.

HIGGINS. Ha! Ha! Ha!”
― George Bernard Shaw

“My jaw went slack. Private rooms? Great, the button thing had been a step too far. Either he was totally getting the wrong impression鈥攁t least, not the impression I wanted to give鈥攐r鈥o. I didn鈥檛 want to consider the possibility he might know. People didn鈥檛 hide in forests in the middle of the night to protect themselves from a Binding. I was just weird like that. Rather, I had no choice, but鈥rgh, what was I going to do now?!”
― Sam Dogra, The Binding

“So why hadn鈥檛 he confronted me? Why hadn鈥檛 he torn through my lies and forced me to own up that I鈥檇 caught him in a Binding? It wasn鈥檛 like he could just brush this off. And that smile before he left, as if he鈥檇 been pulling my leg to see my reaction鈥�

I shook my head. Ryan was certainly providing his fair share of riddles. There was the tiny possibility he was still clueless and was just teasing me, but I doubted anyone could be that na茂ve. Even him. My mind began to tick over, desperate for an answer. Only one other thing stuck out in his behaviour. Maybe he was going for a fair exchange strategy. He wouldn鈥檛 question my secrets, in the hope I wouldn鈥檛 question his.

Now that was na茂ve.”
― Sam Dogra, The Binding

“My heart almost vaulted out of my chest. I was snuggled against Ryan鈥檚 shoulder. We were burrowed under the cloak and sleeping bag, and my hand rested on his cheek, about to swat the stray hair that had fallen over my face. This wouldn鈥檛 have been so bad, if not for one tiny detail.

Ryan was awake.”
― Sam Dogra, The Binding
