Quote by Lauren Willig

“Well?" inquired Jane. "What do think?" "I think," he said deliberately, "that if you have dragged me out to this inhospitable corner of the earth on nothing more than a bout of romantic whimsy, I shall be entirely unamused." "My dear lord Vaughn, I never matchmake." Jane smiled to herself as though at a private memory. "Well, very rarely." Vaughn arranged his eyebrows in their most forbidding position, the one that had sent a generation of valets scurrying for cover. "Don't think to number me among your exceptions." "I wouldn't dare." From the woman who had invaded Bonaparte's bedchamber to leave him a posy of pink carnations, that pledge was singularly unconvincing. "I believe there are very few things you wouldn't dare.”

“Many people have told me the United States was founded on a Jewish/Christian foundation of the Bible. In my study it is more than a faith foundation, and if you search the scriptures, or what Jesus said you will find the United States it is actually the opposite. The Jesus way is about emptying oneself rather than taking more. I call the American Dream "The Culture of More" because it is best described a way of life that seeks to take as much as it can. It is an easy way of doing something because the natural tendency of humans is self-centeredness.”

“There’s gotta be guidelines of some kind if we're competing to get Zario the man of men.” “Are we still talking about that?” I ask. “I thought we were talking about your ho ass.” “This is beyond talk,” Ellington warns. “Your love life belongs to us. We're gonna be gay matchmakers!” Sunji shakes his head. “That sounds wrong. We're matchmakers who are gay.”

“The human equivalent of a succulent would be best." Jay leaned back in his chair and folded his arms across his chest. "You want to match me up with a succulent?" "A human succulent. Prickly. Resilient. Able to survive hot climates, cold temperaments, and emotional drought. Sprinkle a few e-mails on her, maybe buy her a lunch, and that should keep her going through the long cold months." "You think I'm hot," he said, his voice smug. For some reason her opinion mattered to him, all the negativity aside.”
