Quote by Eli Wilde

“A shadow moved in the street below and my mind became focused on the movement. This shadow caught my attention because it moved so quickly. Usually when people remained in the shadows they moved slowly, unless they were running from something and then the sound of running could be heard. I did”

“Dieses ranzige Altherren-Gerede von "Männern in den Jahren der Reife", die backfischhaften Übertreibungen eines geistig neureichen Kulturspießers, dessen "Liebe zur Literatur" sich nicht einfach von selbst versteht, sondern sich "gleich dem Universum" ausdehnt, die kleinmütigen Oberschüler-Ressentiments gegen "fette Autopfleger sonntags am Straßenrand", die ständige Angeberei mit der eigenen Bildung, die wahllos noch das Geräusch des TV-Zeilen-Transformators in das "trizein" des Homer verwandelt - all diese dumpfen Attitüden, mit denen Strauß um Aufnahme in den Kreis der geistigen Elite bettelt: Das kann es ja wohl nicht sein, was die Strauß-Enthusiasten so betört; denn dieses Dörrzeug aus dem humanistischen Herbarium ist bei Hans Carossa und in jeder Morgenandacht genausogut zu haben.”

“What are these? They look like scars." Meryn glanced down and realized he was talking about her stretch marks. Had he never seen stretch marks before?” “Those are called stretch marks." "Stretch marks? How did you get them?" "Human females get them when we grow. If we grow too fast our skin rips apart and heals. It's a very painful process." Meryn lied through her teeth. There was no way she was going to discuss stretch marks after the most mind blowing sex of her life. Nope. Wasn't going to happen. Aiden's expression became reverent. "Human females are amazing creatures, you endure so much pain yet are so fragile." He kissed each shiny line. I'm going to hell.”
