“What have you done to your hair?�� Mom’s broken voice said, pinning me back to this tiny hospital
room.
“Holy shit!�� Icka patted her head as if searching. “You think the nurse stole it? She looked shady.”
― Phoebe Kitanidis, Whisper

“She hated using airplane toilets. She was always afraid the plane would choose the exact moment she was most defenseless to crash, and she'd spend her final seconds of life spiraling toward earth with her bottom bare to the world.”
― Susan Elizabeth Phillips, It Had to Be You

“You're not seriously going?" Troy asks.
"Of course I'm going," I say. "What other choice do I have?"
"Um...not going.”

“Of course I was committed to her beyond what was acceptable for the mission. I was so fascinated because I could see the parts of you in her. I've loved you this whole time, just split in two.”
― Chloe Gong, Foul Heart Huntsman

“The Library of Alexandria?" I ask. "Didn't that burn down?"
Mrs Philipoulus scoffs. "Damn fool Hypatia. Athena tried to convince her to install a sprinkler system. But no-o-o, no one was going to tell the librarianatrix how to run her library.”

“Yep those are goosebumps. Or a bad case of arm acne. Or as I call it, armcne.”

“Did you-"

Griffin shoves past him and grabs me by the shoulders. "Are you alright?"
"Of course. Didn't they tell you?"

From the dark look in his normally bright eyes, I'm going to guess no.

He twists to look back over his shoulder and practically growls. "They didn't tell me anything. Except that I had to wait out here."

"Um, I need to go," Troy says, backing down the steps. "I have class in the morning."
"Coward," I taunt.”

“The St. Vincents arrived with their daughter Phoebe, a red-haired infant with an alarmingly changeable temperament. One moment the child was placid and adorable. The next, she was a squalling devil-spawn who could only be soothed by the sound of her father’s voice. “There, darling,�� St. Vincent had been known to coo into the infant’s ear. “Has someone displeased you? Ignored you? Oh, the insolence. My poor princess shall have anything she wants…�� And, appeased by her father’s outrageous spoiling, Phoebe would settle into hiccupping smiles.”
― Lisa Kleypas, Mine Till Midnight

“I felt so damn happy all of sudden, the way old Phoebe kept going around and around. I was damn near bawling, I felt so damn happy, if you want to know the truth. I don't know why. It was just that she looked so damn nice, the way she kept going around and around, in her blue coat and all. God, I wish you could've been there.”
― J.D. Salinger, The Catcher in the Rye

“We believe in you, Phoebe," Stella says. "You just have to believe in yourself."
I roll my eyes behind the blindfold. As if that's not a cheesy, movie-of-the-week line.”
― Tera Lynn Childs, Goddess Boot Camp

“Troy, I have to find out what happened to my dad."
"We know what happened to your dad. He got smoted. End of story.”

“NO SHORTS or SANDAL!! This for your own protection.
Tomorrow's boot camp will be something SPECIAL! Meet in front of the maintenance shed at the north end of the quad at 10 A.M! Latecomers will be left behind and this is a day you will not want to miss!
- Adara -

I roll my eyes. Besides her overuse of exclamation points and her tendency to yell, the idea that we're doing "something special" in camp tomorrow is not exciting. It's terrifying.”

“We all know Damian's big on secrecy. The man makes the CIA look like a gabfest. He is Mr Need-To-Know.

As in, students never need to know.”
― Tera Lynn Childs, Goddess Boot Camp

“He has definitely cornered the market on enigma. I hope Stella goes for the deeply layered type.”
― Tera Lynn Childs, Goddess Boot Camp

“Phoebe was thinking, Insubordinate. What a lovely word. And when was the last time she'd heard a nice-looking young man use it? Why-never, that's when. What a treat. And to have a ruler who could say conscientious and citizenry in the same sentence. Lovely.”
― Jean Ferris, Thrice Upon a Marigold

“Family is family, and business is business. I love the boy, but not that much.��

“Who are you kidding?�� Heath had said. “You'd walk over coals for him.��

“Yes, but I'd leave my checkbook behind while I was doing it.”
― Susan Elizabeth Phillips, Match Me If You Can

“And Phoebe and Sebastian went their separate ways, to the blacksmith shop and the library, after several backward glances that weren't coordinated enough to allow either to know that the other one was looking.”
― Jean Ferris, Thrice Upon a Marigold

“Marriage is far too important a matter to be decided with reason”
