“I am looking for the one I can’t fool.”
― Kamand Kojouri

“It is for your own good to love a dare-devil rather than a holy coward. A dare-devil is a unique devil, battling your fears, your pains, conquering your uncertainties, carrying you his arms, and flying out of the corrosive fire. The coward is a trickster serpent, which vanishes in your time of despair, and appears in time of equanimity.”
― Michael Bassey Johnson

“A company of wolves, is better than a company of wolves in sheep's clothing.”
― Anthony Liccione

“He's charmed by her as if she were some fairy!" continued Arabella. "See how he looks round at her, and lets his eyes rest on her. I am inclined to think that she don't care for him quite so much as he does for her. She's not a particular warm-hearted creature to my thinking, though she cares for him pretty middling much-- as much as she's able to; and he could make her heart ache a bit if he liked to try--which he's too simple to do.”
― Thomas Hardy, Jude the Obscure

“What chance combination of shadow and sound and his own thoughts had created it?”
― Patricia Highsmith, Strangers on a Train

“Mercy has this ... this uncanny ability to go where the trouble is thickest," Adam told him. He had decided a while ago that it wasn't deliberate, and that it had something to do with being Coyote's daughter. He was pretty sure that Mercy was completely oblivious.”
― Patricia Briggs, Silence Fallen

“I am not weak," Loki said. "I am not your villain, and I am not your fool. I am a protector of my homeland." He thrust his hand in the air. "For Asgard!”
― Mackenzi Lee, Loki: Where Mischief Lies

“Many native traditions held clowns and tricksters as essential to any contact with the sacred. People could not pray until they had laughed, because laughter opens and frees from rigid preconception. Humans had to have tricksters within the most sacred ceremonies for fear that they forget the sacred comes through upset, reversal, surprise. The trickster in most native traditions is essential to creation, to birth.”
― Byrd Gibbens

“Inside I am a beautiful woman,' Okha said... 'The Trickster tapped me in my mother's womb and placed me in this man's shell.”

“Learn tricks from others, Become a trickster”
― Matt Thomas

“At seventeen, he has grown tall, towering over me, lithe and finely muscled. His hair catches the moonlight, warm gold threaded with platinum, bangs parting around small goat horns, eyes of shocking amber, and a constellation of freckles across his nose. He has a trickster's mouth and the swagger of someone used to people doing what he wanted.”
― Holly Black, The Stolen Heir

“I've done my part, played my hand, even thrown in my cards when I had to. I've bet what I didn't have and bluffed until I had it. Link once said: Ridley Duchannes is always playing a game. I never told him, but he was right.”
― Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl

“When she walked by the two officers, they didn't recognize her.
"Have you seen the luscious bonbon with the golden braids?"
She grinned up at them with such impish mischief that they almost forgot their quest for the singer. "She is with her lover," Hannah said. "But she can always handle one or two more." She winked at them. "Go there, through that door."
She made her escape while the uniformed hobbledehoys gawked and gaped and finally burst into the dressing room where Franz, the three-hundred-pound juggling strongman, was adjusting his loincloth.
"I ought not do it," Hannah said aloud to herself as chaos erupted behind her. "I just can't seem to help myself. it is a shame, really.”
― Laura L. Sullivan, Love by the Morning Star

“How we would like to argue with September, and tell her that in the waiting lies the pleasure! That we here in the world of sensible folk know how to wait without twisted-up bellies and tapping feet and wishing for the sun to hurry up and rise and set. That a clever person is never bored, and a bored person is never clever. But though I am sly, I am a trickster, I am even cruel—I cannot lie.”
― Catherynne M. Valente, The Girl Who Soared Over Fairyland and Cut the Moon in Two

“I am preprogrammed, acting on impulse, dumping a vast memory into a whirling pool and somehow bringing order to it. Building a complex web. I am the spider. This is my venomous bite. I will make them see their folly.”
― A.L. Davroe, Nexis

“Dead people don't haunt you.
Your own neglects haunt you.
//Why People Feel Miserable”
― Vineet Raj Kapoor

“The break is forever chipping away new labyrinths toward the place where the human soul goes to feed when nothing else will let it eat.”
― Roger Bonair-Agard

― Amit Kalantri, Wealth of Words

― P.G. Wodehouse, Service With a Smile

“What's up with this guild title you gave me? I'm not a babysitter! Get rid of it! Get rid of it!" Blue River had been talking in the guild chat oblivious to the name Ye Xiu had assigned the entire time! Then he had suddenly discovered that his character had a title over his head that said "Guild Happy's Number one Babysitter.”
― Blue Butterfly, The King's Avatar

“Using trickery on the trickster to mend their ways, is not trickery, but the rightful use of intelligence.”
― Abhijit Naskar, Vatican Virus: The Forbidden Fiction

“He does not seem like someone who has been carrying poisoned spies through the snow, someone who has braved an enemy camp. Someone who pushed his magical cloak into my hands. He seems like the person who shoved me into the water and laughed when it closed over my head. Who tricked me.”
― Holly Black, The Queen of Nothing

“The trickster likes few things better than tweaking the nose of the doubters. They exist in the liminal space beyond proof, crossing boundaries at a whim, promising hidden knowledge they will never share.”
― Thomm Quackenbush, The Curious Case of the Talking Mongoose

“If you press a trickster to show themselves, you will find a reliable phenomenon quiet at once. The trickster will pop out from behind the rock and laugh at your disgrace once the crowd has dispersed.”
― Thomm Quackenbush, The Curious Case of the Talking Mongoose

“We see trickster fingerprints whenever a paranormal case gets a bit too weird.”
― Thomm Quackenbush, The Curious Case of the Talking Mongoose

“By being so bizarre when less was required, he peculiarly becomes more credible. Someone faking it would not go to these lengths unless they were profoundly committed to the bit, making it more likely this was a genuine personality, an actual trickster.”
― Thomm Quackenbush, The Curious Case of the Talking Mongoose

“I embroider these tales with charm and magic because that’s how I experienced them. The trickster is a threshold being, between two realms. One foot planted here, the other beyond.

The letter and the spirit.”
― Robin Brown, Glitter Saints: The Cosmic Art of Forgiveness, a Memoir

“For trickster saves the world. The paradoxical trickster-creating order through chaos, the underdog that overcomes, the liminal role, and all the dangers associated with it, personified Israel. So in Exile when the canon is beginning to form, the Israelites tell of their ancestors as tricksters. For the trickster represents not only the threat of a marginalized existence, or the danger of the liminal status, but also the salvific role in which Israel still paradoxically believed it functioned.”
― Dean Andrew Nicholas, The Trickster Revisited: Deception as a Motif in the Pentateuch
