“Good God, you don’t give up.” “Nope.” I laughed, couldn’t help it, and his smile spread in response to the sound. “I’m sure there are plenty of girls who want to go out on a date with you.” “There are.” “Wow. Modest aren’t you?” “Why should I be?” he shot back. “And I want to go out on a date with you. Not them.”
“Good God," I said. "This is the most stereotypical vampire food ever." "Only if it was raw. What do you think?" "It's good," I said reluctantly. Who knew that bacon would have made all the difference? "Really good. I think you have a promising future as a housewife while Lissa works and makes millions of dollars." "Funny, that's exactly my dream.”
“Good God,” I whispered, sitting on the van’s cot and looking at my legs, horrified. They were hairy—not wolf hairy, but an I-couldn’t-find-my-razor-the-last-six-months hairy. Utterly grossed out, I took a peek at my armpit, jerking away. Oh, that’s just…nasty.”

“Good good. Enough talk. Check breeder tanks, please.'
'Yeah, yeah. Let me get some water first.'
He bounces and skitters down his tube to the lab. 'Why humans need water so much, question? Inefficient life-forms!'
...
'Eiridians need water too, you know.'
'We keep inside. Closed system. Some inefficiencies inside, but we get all water we need from food. Humans leak! Gross!'

'Good. Proud. I am scary space monster. You are leaky space blob.”

“Good good,' he says. 'I make sure my people take good care of you. They will make Astrophage maybe for you to go home!'
'Yeah...' I say. 'About that... I'm not going home. The beetles will save Earth. But I won't ever see it again.'
His joyous bouncing stops. 'Why, question?'
'I don't have enough food. After I take you back to Erid, I will die.'
'You... you can no die.' His voice gets low. 'I no let you die. We send you home. Erid will be grateful. You save everyone. We do everything to save you.'
'There's nothing you can do,' I say. 'There's no food. I have enough to last until we get to Erid and then a few months more. Even if your government gave me the Astrophage to get home, I wouldn't survive the trip.'
'Eat Erid food. We evolve from same life. We use same proteins. Same chemicals. Same sugars. Must work!'
'No, I can't eat your food, remember?'
'You say is bad for you. We find out.'
I hold up my hands. 'It's not just bad for me. It will kill me. Your whole ecology uses heavy metals all over the place. Most of them are toxic to me. I'd die immediately.'
He trembles. 'No. You can no die. You are friend.'
I float closer to the divider wall and talk softly. 'It's okay. I made my decision. This is the only way to save both of our worlds.'
He backs away. 'Then you go home. Go home now. I wait here. Erid maybe send another ship someday.'
'That's ridiculous. Do you really want to risk the survival of your entire species on that guess?'
He's silent for a few moments and finally answers. 'No.”

“Good government cannot be found on the bargain-counter. We have seen samples of bargain-counter government in the past when low tax rates were secured by increasing the bonded debt for current expenses or refusing to keep our institutions up to the standard in repairs, extensions, equipment, and accommodations.

“Good grief. If we can’t laugh at ourselves, and at one another, in good spirit and without malice, then what fun can be left? If we must withhold all ribbing in the name of protecting everyone’s feelings, then we truly are a toothless society. We will reach what I call “the lowest common denominator of butthurt.”

“Good habits are as easy to form as bad ones.”
“Good habits are developed in the workshops of our daily lives. It is not in the great moments of test and trial that character is built. That is only when it is displayed. The habits that direct our lives and form our character are fashioned in the often uneventful, commonplace routine of life.”
“Good habits are hard to develop but easy to live with; bad habits are easy to develop but hard to live with. The habits you have and the habits that have you will determine almost everything you achieve or fail to achieve.”
