“I had to slow down once we got out onto the street. It was dark, so if we stayed away from the streetlights nobody would be likely to see our various wounds and blemishes, but the way we were staggering would draw attention anywhere. I pulled Juliet close to me and tried to pretend that we were lovers drunk on our own hormones-and, yeah, before you ask, that was an easy part to play. Every inch where our bodies touched was an inch I was painfully, achingly aware of.”

“Then you're... _Pinocchio_?" "In the flesh. As opposed to the Norwegian pine." "What was that like? I mean, the change. What did it feel like?" "To be honest, not as big a deal as I was expecting. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's great not to have to worry about dry rot and termites. But the rest... meh." "Being human is meh?" "Mostly." "But you were a puppet!" "What, you think flesh-and-blood kids don't come with strings attached? Clearly, you don't know many parents." "No. Just the one, really."

“In which neighborhood?" I asked. "The neighborhood of Mapstack-the Met's internal version of the Interpol's big data exchange system. It's usually worth a look, just for laughs. These people have no idea how the world works-how the little details connect up. They try to draw links between crimes, but they only work in straight lines so they miss it. They miss everything but fucking methodology. Like the real criminals-I mean, the ones who are so big you never even see them-can't vary their repertoire.”

“Nadie vive feliz para siempre, Tom. Si eso pasara, la historia tendría que parar. Porque la historia está sustentada en los esfuerzos y agonías sin fin del héroe. Las vueltas y los giros de una historia parecen un laberinto. Pero en realidad son su opuesto. No hay vueltas erróneas. Sólo un camino a seguir, y un punto final. Cada vez que cerramos un libro, les damos un respiro. Un momento de paz. Un momento, no más que eso. Pero créeme, jovencito...ese momento es lo más cerca que estarás, en toda tu vida, de un final feliz.”

“Happy Families. What's that all about, eh? A bloody busted flush is what it is. You surround yourself with other people so the night doesn't seem quite so dark. Shout down the sound of the wind with arguments about whose turn it is to wash the dishes. Best not to kid yourself. Best not to give any hostages to fortune. You're on your own in the end. Always. Where else would you want to be?”
