“Adoriamo sentirci vittime, e siamo tutti, chi piú chi meno, un tantino paranoici, esseri incapaci di discernere la realtà dalla finzione, di pensare con la nostra testa, seguiamo il pensiero comune o quello alternativo, ci affidiamo a chi dice le cose nel modo giusto, a chi dimostra di crederci fino in fondo, a tutti i costi. Non è quel che si dice, ma come lo si dice. I fanatici sono piú motivanti, hanno maggiore capacità di coinvolgere rispetto a chi accetta senza storie una verità acclarata. [...]
Ci piace il segreto, siamo attirati dagli scandali, amiamo il pettegolezzo, i complotti ci affascinano. E crediamo all’impensabile pur di non credere e basta.
È la fiducia nel prossimo che ci manca, altro che.”

“Adorned in a cloak of long, matted, dark brown hair that shimmered under the gentle touch of rain, the Sasquatch intimidatingly stood its ground. Its chest and shoulders were reminiscent of a massive barrel, spanning well over four feet in width. Its legs, akin to large and sturdy tree trunks, exuded raw power. The creature's sheer muscularity and appearance were enough to render any man's nerves shaky. And sure enough, Carter felt his stomach queasy and his bladder on the verge of surrender.”

It gives me superhuman powers of smell and hearing. I can see what people are thinking, stay two steps ahead of them. I do enough homework to stay off the radar.

Then suddenly it’s morning and I leap on the hamster wheel and it starts all over again.”

“Adria . . . I’m not here on orders.” Thaane’s voice wavers. “I’m here as your friend.”
Your friend. There were times I suspected Thaane would’ve preferred to be more than that. But he knows full well I could never feel the same; there isn’t a man anywhere on this planet who could make my heart race, make my legs wobble, like the few female warriors in my parents’ army always have when they walked by. My heart is not attuned to men.”

“Adrian had always found it amusing that a guy could be drilling Stacia up her ass while she considered herself to be a virgin. Her intent had been to present herself as such when she found "Mr. Right."”
“Adrian", I whispered, my tears starting to flow faster.
His head snapped up--and then he moved with his incredible speed, gripping me in those powerful arms. Tilting my head back and covering my mouth in a bruising kiss that made joy rip through me with all the intensity of the pain I'd felt before. When he finally broke away several minutes later, I could hardly breathe, but I still managed to speak.
"I love you," I choked out. "I love you, I love you, I love you--"
His kiss cut me off again, and this time, I wasn't crying when I kissed him back. I was smiling.”

“Adrian Ivashkov wasn’t easy to surprise, but I surprised him then when I brought his mouth toward mine. I kissed him, and for a moment, he was too stunned to respond. That lasted for, oh, about a second. Then the intensity I’d come to know so well in him returned. He pushed me backward, lifting me so that I sat at the table. The tablecloth bunched up, knocking over some of the glasses. I heard what sounded like a china plate crash against the floor.
Whatever logic and reason I normally possessed had melted away. There was nothing but flesh and fire left, and I wasn’t going to lie to myself—at least not tonight.”

“Adrian kom denna klara höst till socialisterna, dit varje ung individualist kommer, då han vill söka uttrycket för sin individualism, utan att finna det. Människan vill aristokrati. Den fattigaste arbetare älskar djupast sett endast lyxkvinnan, som bäst förkroppsligar hans kvinnoideal, står över hans förnuft och även över klasskampen, liksom skönheten står över allting. Men när den ensamme icke når dit han vill, då går individualisten till socialisterna och inordnar sig i kampen för den demokratiska idén." (Sid. 231)”
