Quote by Brenna Yovanoff

“We lay on the grass beside the cemetery fence, kissing and shivering. Her teeth started to chatter and I pulled her against me, which made me feel like a superhero for no apparent reason.”

“I was dreaming about this—except it feels even better than I thought it would. Fucking fantastic. Clean sheets. You" Warrick moved across and kissed him gently, exactly as he’d imagined. Soft cotton and warm skin against him, soothing and luxurious. Hand on his back, touching carefully. He had a moment of fear that this was the dream, that soon he would wake up in the cell. Then a noise distracted him: distant firing in the city. He tensed, and Warrick’s hand stroked a circle over his shoulder-blade. More firing, but it was nothing to do with him. Nothing to worry about, even if he could manage it. Safe, here. He recaptured the tail end of a thought, before it disappeared into sleep. "Just you. ‘S enough." If Warrick said anything in reply, Toreth didn’t hear it.”

“It’s like you were driving from San Francisco to Los Angeles for an important meeting. But along the way, you turned here and there to entertain yourself with the scenery. Somewhere along the line, without realizing it, you’re no longer moving north to south. Instead, you’re now headed east toward Denver! Once you go out horizontally into the intermediate realm, there is no end to the new and interesting stuff you can experience: encounters with angels or entities, psychic abilities, out-of-body experiences, bright lights or colors, past lives, weird internal sounds. The scenery is really cool, but you’re never going to make that important meeting.”

“Las virtudes que más se honran en los magistrados , la imparcialidad, la resistencia a todas las seducciones del sentimiento, y esa serena indiferencia casi sacerdotal que purifica y recompone bajo la rígida fórmula de la ley los casos más turbios de la vida, no brillarían tanto si a su lado, dándoles mayor realce, no pudieran afirmarse en contraste las opuestas virtudes de los abogados, que son la pasión de la lucha generosa por lo justo, la rebelión contra toda supercheria, y la tendencia a ablandar bajo la llama del sentimiento el duro metal de las leyes para formarlas mejor sobre la viva realidad humana.”

“La noble pasión del abogado debe ser siempre consciente y razonable; tener tan dominados los nervios, que sepa responder a la ofensa con una sonrisa amable y dar las gracias con una correcta inclinación al presidente autoritario que le priva del uso de la palabra. Está perfectamente demostrado ya que la vociferación no es indicio de energía, y que la repentina violencia no es indicio de verdadero valor: perder la cabeza durante el debate representa casi siempre hacer que el cliente pierda la causa.”
