“Ni se imagina el lector la cantidad de años que me pasé, durante mis estudios universitarios entre grado y máster, erradicando de mi mente el muy falso mito del 'príncipe azul'. Todavía continúa de sobra extendido en buena parte de la población, aunque desprenda una toxicidad que tanto perjuicio ocasiona en la mente de una chica. Es imposible hacer cambiar para bien a un 'malote' gracias al amor proporcionado por una mujer. Ante la ausencia de unos límites predefinidos que la hagan respetar, lo único que ella obtendrá a cambio serán abusos más constantes y voluminosos por parte del hombre. Y por desgracia, te das cuenta de que el romántico mito del 'príncipe azul' tiene aún más posibilidades de pervivir si el educador de un centro penitenciario se atreve a decirle a un preso, 'de boquilla', que sus ilícitos instintos sexuales desaparecerán solo con la mágica aparición de una esposa. Y con esa magia, me refiero a lo de simplemente ponerle a una mujer por delante, sin un hondo trabajo efectuado anteriormente sobre el sujeto; como tanto he enfatizado en mi idea de la utilización misógina de las mujeres, a las que se les echa encima el enorme peso de reformar a un sacerdote pederasta 'por amor'.”

“Ni soy romántica ni escribo novelas románticas. Soy positiva y sensible, y escribo novelas de sentimientos, que no es lo mismo. Para mí, la novela puede ser sentimental, no me molesta que me encasillen en la novela rosa, pero es evidente que muchos ignoran que la denominación rosa procede de cuando las tapas de la novela eran de ese color. El amor nunca pasa de moda y aunque mis novelas puedan parecerse entre sí, todas son diferentes. El desamor es lo que más está presente en ellas.”

“Niagara Falls! Hordes of us! Husbands! Wives! Flowers! Chocolates! All streaming into cozy hotels All going to do the same thing tonight The indifferent clerk he knowing what was going to happen The lobby zombies they knowing what The whistling elevator man he knowing The winking bellboy knowing Everybody knowing! I'd be almost inclined not to do anything! Stay up all night! Stare that hotel clerk in the eye! Screaming: I deny honeymoon! I deny honeymoon! running rampant into those almost climatic suites yelling Radio belly! Cat shovel! O I'd live in Niagara forever! in a dark cave beneath the Falls I'd sit there the Mad Honeymooner devising ways to break marriages, a scourge of bigamy a saint of divorce--”

“Niall’s nostrils flared with a patience-inducing breath before he whispered, “Seriously? Are you packing today?” Duff’s overbuilt shoulders shifted as he turned to whisper a response. “Hey. You wear your glasses every day, Poindexter. I wear my gun.” “I wasn’t aware that you knew what the term Poindexter meant.” “I’m smarter than I look” was Duff’s terse response. Keir chuckled. “He’d have to be.” Duff’s muscular shoulders shifted. “So help me, baby brother, if you give me any grief today, I will lay you out flat.” “Zip it. Both of you.” Niall, Duff and Keir Watson”

“Nicaise had picked up a gilt three-pronged fork, but had paused before sampling the dish in order to speak. The fear he'd shown of Damen at the ring seemed to still be there. His knuckles, clenched around the fork, were white. 'It's all right,' said Damen. He spoke to the boy as gently as he could. 'I'm not going to hurt you.' Nicaise stared back at him. His huge blue eyes were fringed like a whore's, or like a doe's. Around them, the table was a coloured wall of voices and laughter, courtiers caught up in their own amusements, paying them no attention. 'Good,' said Nicaise, and stabbed the fork viciously into Damen's thigh under the table. Even through a layer of cloth, it was enough to make Damen start, and instinctively grab the fork, as three drops of blood welled up. 'Excuse me a moment,' Laurent said smoothly, turning from Torveld to face Nicaise. 'I made your pet jump,' said Nicaise, smugly. Not sounding at all displeased: 'Yes, you did.' 'Whatever you're planning, it's not going to work.' 'I think it will, though. Bet you your earring.' 'If I win, you wear it,' said Nicaise. Laurent immediately lifted his cup and inclined it toward Nicaise in a little gesture sealing the bet. Damen tried to shake the bizarre impression that they were enjoying themselves. Nicaise waved an attendant over and asked for a new fork.”

“Nicaragua dealt with the problem of terrorism in exactly the right way. It followed international law and treaty obligations. It collected evidence, brought the evidence to the highest existing tribunal, the International Court of Justice, and received a verdict - which, of course, the U.S. dismissed with contempt.”

“Nicaragua is a World Bank and International Monetary Fund designated "heavily indebted poor country," with little legal ability to control its economic future: Everything is for sale. And once Nicaraguans decide to cash in and sell their houses or farms, they have to look far inland for anything affordable.”

“Nice clothes fall apart. Nice clocks don't work. Bits fall off the nice cooker. It is hard to accept that pricing is unrelated to quality, but it's plainly true. Nowadays, we pay the price that satisfies our particular personality type; and then we live with the painful consequences.”
