Quote by John Scalzi

“Enzo showed a flair for words early and wrote his first story when he was seven, entitled "The horrible sock that smelled bad and ate Pomona Falls except for my house," in which a large sock, mutated by its own horrible unwashed smell, started eating its way through the contents of an entire town and was thwarted only when the heroes Enzo and Magdy first punched it into submission and then threw it into a swimming pool filled with laundry soap.”

“Sie braucht ewig lange, um eine Antwort zu schicken. Tausendzweihundert Sekunden, um es genau zu nehmen. Nicht dass ich mitzähle, das ist nur mein Herz, das zu heftig schlägt. Vielleicht ist es sogar ein Donnern. Ich weiß es nicht. Ich hör eh nur Rauschen. Ihre Antwort besteht aus einem einzigen Wort. Hi. Ich kann vor mir sehen, wie sie ihren Blick senkt. Wie sie das Wort viel zu schnell, viel zu hastig sagt und dann so tut, als hätte sie es nicht so gemeint. Als würde sie darauf hoffen, dass man sie gar nicht erst hört.
