“Queen Gunnhild waves away the advice with a pale hand. "I can't abide that scourge sneaking around the Chateau, killing everyone that comes within an inch of its evil presence. That building and its surrounds are Nord Property and we are in dire need of an outpost so near the Gray Sea again. It's time to end this, return a presence to a southern territory.”
― Mandy Gardner, Short Tales From Earth's Final Chapter: Book 1: Volume 1 Paperback (English) Close

“The coincidences were staggering. Ays and Finnigin looked alike, they had both been followed by a mysterious stranger. Their diverse paths had conjoined in the dark waters of Scarzanera’s sacred pit, one plunging to death, another to rebirth. Ays felt sick.”
― Storm Constantine, Calenture

“Half of him wanted to pull Finnigin close, absorb his flesh, because of their similarity. The other half of him was repulsed, unnerved. Finnigin’s expressions, being more mobile than Ays; seemed a parody.”
― Storm Constantine, Calenture

“How many times are you going to change your mind about what happened to you? One day you accept that something miraculous occurred, the next day you rant about hallucinations and delusions! Ays, wake up, it happened. We don’t know how or why, but we must find out. Only Varian can tell us.”
― Storm Constantine, Calenture

“He wrinkled his nose in vexation, struggling for words to form concepts he barely grasped.”

“Selene, waiting on Her attention, stared through the tall glass plates, tail lashing, ears still laid flat, and willed herself to clam. Fear-and-fight were not her friends. They were th animal, the instinct that made her a superlative warrior. But the threat had been left behind on the ground, and Selene was in the Tower, in Her presence. Safe.”
― Elizabeth Bear, All the Windwracked Stars

― Elizabeth Bear, All the Windwracked Stars

“Yes, surely that was a disruption. But it was not even remotely the whole story.”
― Elizabeth Bear, All the Windwracked Stars

“The interstices of time are highly complex. Time is mutable, and one small step for a man sets mankind on a radically different path. "There are billions of paths, twists and fork-turns. Some lead to triumph, and others to doom. The one we have trodden has risked our annihilation as a species.”
― Louise Lacaille, The Time Gene: Book One of The Immortal Cosmos series

“Every time someone got wounded, bombed or hurt in the news, she could not stop the pervasive sense of guilt that she ought to have stopped it. It haunted her morning, noon and night. For what purpose had she been given this gift? And did anyone else share it?
What if it wasn’t a gift, but a curse?”
― Louise Lacaille, The Time Gene: Book One of The Immortal Cosmos series

“Of course, it will be hard. It'll probably be the hardest thing you've ever done." She pauses. "But it will work. I know it will.”
― Arianna Fox, Sabre Black

“No one is ever 'ready' to go on the adventure of a lifetime," Acatar replies sagely. "The only things you need to prepare for are the emotions you're bound to face. During this journey, you'll be scared out of your robe, tired as a worn-out horse, and angry as a charging rhinoceros. But if you can prepare for those, you can face any problem head-on." There's a slight pause, and then she adds, "Whoa. Did I just say that?”
― Arianna Fox, Sabre Black

“An angora. That's what it was," he exclaims with a grin. "They have translucent wings and are about five inches tall and are pure awesomeness."

Maybe it was the enthusiastic way he used that word, or perhaps it was the word itself—but either way, it annoyed me.”
― Arianna Fox, Sabre Black

“You can believe whatever you want, Líder, but know this: A war is coming, and I hope you wake up from this dream of utopia, or you'll soon die in your sleep.”
― Arianna Fox, Sabre Black

"They are all dead.”
― Arianna Fox, Sabre Black

“What else does it sound like? I'm helping out of East Andoren's best interest, but if that helps those perfect angels back in North Andoren, then great. We've got the light of both moons at our side. All the better for us.”
― Arianna Fox, Sabre Black

“Loren isn't convinced. "Serahs have been here before, asking for stuff. They always ask for things in the nicest possible way, and they're always actually serahs. Why are you *really* here, Sabre Black? I know there's some other reason you traveled through miles of forest and water just to get here. You desperately want something. What is it?"

I lower my head. "I'm here to earn back the Llum's trust."

"Ah. And you think running off by yourself will achieve that?”
― Arianna Fox, Sabre Black

“Outwardly, he may look like he's just making a hard decision, but inwardly, he is fighting a long, hard, and blood-riddled battle. A battle between the fierce army of tradition and the strong army of genealogy, the strict army of the past and the seemingly freeing army of the future. Who is winning? No one knows - no one but Daurat Meran, who has the power to alter the course of this battle.”
― Arianna Fox, Sabre Black

“Of course, I would live. I had to.”
― M.G. Davis, Time Takes
