“Silk does for the body what diamonds do for the hand.”
“Silk is a fine, delicate, soft, illuminating, beautiful substance. But you can never rip it! If a man takes this tender silk and attempts to tear it, and cannot tear it, is he in his right mind to say "This silk is fake! I thought it was soft, I thought it was delicate, but look, I cannot even tear it" ? Surely, this man is not in his right mind! The silk is not fake! This silk is 100% real. It's the man who is stupid!”

“Silken strings composing the harpsichord of life accommodate a score of emotional tidings. An orchestra of linked heartbeats strumming the melodious prose of our collective intones gives rise to sonnets of melancholy, producing an illimitable libretto stretching from the milky dawn of newborn’s amaranth life to the speckled sunsets of gentle souls whom we cherish.”

“Silkworth, a supporter of AA from its inception, was quoted [as saying], "We all know that the alcoholic has an urge to share his troubles. . . . But the psychoanalyst, being of human clay, is not often a big enough man for that job. The patient simply cannot generate enough confidence in him. But the patient can have enough confidence in God—once he has gone through the mystical experience of recognizing God. And upon that principle the Alcoholic Foundation rests. The medical profession, in general, accepts the principle as sound.”

“Silletti and I, for instance, chewed out cotton wads for the same amount of time. I produced .78 milliliters of stimulated saliva; she produced 1.4. She tried to reassure me. "It doesn't say anything about how good you are or how good I am with saliva."
"Erika, I'm a dried up husk."

“Silloin kun tarpeeni asiantuntevan terapeutin avulle oli suurin, en pystynyt suorittamaan Kelan hakemukseen liittyvää esterataa. Minulla oli jopa vaikeuksia ymmärtää, miten systeemi toimii. Siellä, missä ennen sijaitsivat kognitiiviset taitoni, tuntui olevan nyt tytisevää aladobia. Sain haettua Kelan kuntoutustukea vasta, kun olin tarpeeksi hyvässä kunnossa selviytyäkseni hakemukseen vaadituista etapeista. Pistää miettimään, miten kaikkein heikoimmassa kunnossa olevat terapiaa tarvitsevat ihmiset ikinä pystyvät siihen.”

“Yes. You’re the secret when it’s dark. Dark is safe.”

“Sillä mitä ovatkaan kukkien heteet, emit
ja terälehtien sädekehät muuta
kuin kukan sydäntä,
sen sisintä liekkiä peittäviä pettäviä varjoja!”
“Sillä on liian vähän ihokarvoja
se ei kelpaa minulle.
Viekää se pois,
se itkee liikaa,
olen kuullut että sillä on joskus
jopa ripulia,
eikä se osaa siivota
eikä suudella
eikä olla hiljaa.
Siitä ei olisi kuin huolta
loputtomia tulehduksia
alituista kiukuttelua,
varani eivät riittäisi vuodeksikaan
sen mielihaluja toteuttamaan.
Haluan seurakseni
todellisen pedon,
en mitään enkelihiutaleitten
ja pölysokerin makuista
jäljitelmää.
Hankkikaa sellainen minulle.
Sillä ei pitäisi olla
valittamista:
minulla on sille kaapissani
kaikkea mitä se voi toivoa
ja enemmänkin,
varmuuden vuoksi vuorasin sille pihalta
oman sellin.
Pääasia
että saan sen itselleni.
Jokaisella on pakkomielteensä.
Minä haluan oman lähiohjattavan
vaarallisen näköisen älykkään nuken
joka osaa viihdyttää minua
ja josta ei ole vaivaa.”

“Sillä sellaista elämä on. On asioita jotka ovat tärkeitä hetken ja se, etteivät ne ole sitä enää myöhemmin, ei tarkoita että ne olisivat kokonaisuuden kannalta merkityksettömiä. Ja sitten on toisia asioita, niitä jotka ovat tärkeitä aina. Ja lopulta on asioita, joita ei edes ole muualla kuin psykologisessa todellisuudessa ja jotka silti ovat tärkeitä, todellisia asioita. Jopa enemmän kuin se mikä on näkyvää.”

“Silvanus, the camp prefect, took a step forward. I heard his voice every morning after parade, but had never listened to the tones of it as I did now. He was not afraid, that much was clear; he was angry.
"Pathetic. I should cashier you all now and destroy your Eagles." Silvanus spoke quietly; we had to strain to hear his voice. You could have heard the stars slide across the sky, we were so still and so silent. "If General Corbulo were here, he would destroy you. He dismissed half of the Fifth and the Tenth and sent them home. The rest are billeted in tents in the Armenian highlands with barley meal for fodder. He intends to make an army of them, to meet Vologases when he comes. I intend the same and therefore you will be treated the same as your betters in better legions. You will be proficient by the spring, or you will be dead." His gaze raked us, and we wondered which of us might die that night for the crime of being ineffectual. His voice rocked us. "To that end, you will spend the next three months in tents in the Mountains of the Hawk that lie between us and the sea. One hundred paces above the snow line, each century will determine an area suitable for three months’ stay and build its own base camp. You will alternate along the mountains’ length so that each century of the Fourth has a century of the Twelfth to either side, and vice versa. Each century will defend and maintain its own stocks against the men of the opposing legion; you are encouraged to avail yourselves of what you can. You may not remove stocks from camps belonging to other centuries of your own legion, and equally you may not aid in defending them against raiding parties from the opposing men. So that you may tell each other apart, the Twelfth legion will wear" – did I hear a note of distaste there? – "red cloth tied about their left arms at all times. The Fourth will wear blue. You will be provided with raw fleece with which to wrap your weapons that they might strike but not bite. A man who is careless enough to be captured by the other side will be flogged and returned to his unit. Any man who kills another will be flogged until dead and any man who wounds another will be staked out beyond the boundary of his camp for two days and nights; if he lives, he will be returned to his unit. Any man who dies of hunger, cold or fright, or who falls off the mountain, will be deemed to have died by his own hand. You have until the next watch to make ready. You are dismissed.”

“Silveny's pregnant,' Sophie told her friends when she joined them for breakfast.
Fitz dropped his fork. 'Are you sure?'
'Oh yeah,' Sophie mumbled, sinking into the chair next to him. 'She showed me...'
'GAH!' everyone said.
Keefe pushed his plate away. 'I'm done with food forever.'
'Me too,' Dex agreed.
'Me three,' Biana said.
'Seriously, that is one batch of memories you do not have to show me,' Fitz told Sophie. 'I don't care if it's part of our Cognate training.'
'But it's still huge,' Biana added. 'Do you know how far along she is?'
'I'm guessing it's new, since the last few times I transmitted to her she didn't mention anything about--'
'STOP!' Keefe held up his hands. 'Ground rules for this conversation: All talk of alicorn baby-making is off the table--got it? Otherwise I'll have to rip my ears off. And for the record, I do not want to be there when Baby Glitterbutt arrives.'
'Me either,' Fitz said. 'My dad made me go to the Hekses' unicorn preserve for a delivery one time.' He shuddered. 'Who knew they came out so slimy?'
'Ew, dude, I did not need to know that. Can we talk about something else? Anything else?'
'Does anyone know how long alicorns stay pregnant?' Sophie asked.
Biana shook her head. 'We've never had a baby alicorn before. But I'm pretty sure unicorns are pregnant for eleven months. So maybe it's the same?'
'Do you think Silveny knows?' Fitz asked. 'If her instincts are telling her she's pregnant, maybe they'll also tell her how it's going to work.'
'I guess I can ask. It was hard to get information out of her. All she wanted to tell me about was--'
'STOP!' Keefe said.
'I wasn't going to say that. She was telling me that she's really hungry. I'm not sure if it's a pregnancy craving or an excuse to get more treats, but she went on and on about how she needs more swizzlespice. We'll have to find a way to let Jurek know.
'Do you think he already knows?' Fitz asked. 'He's the equestrian caretaker at the Sanctuary. Maybe he...saw stuff.'
'WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT THE GROUND RULES?' Keefe shouted, covering his ears. 'That's it, this conversation is officially over. Next person who says "alicorn" is getting pelted with fruit.'
'What's wrong with the alicorns?' Granite asked behind them.
He'd arrived with Mr. Forkle, each of them carrying stacks of scrolls.
'Silveny's pregnant," Sophie said, and all the scrolls went THUNK!
'Are you certain?' Granite whispered, bending to gather the uncurling paper.
Sophie nodded, and Mr. Forkle rushed to her side. 'Tell me everything.'
'And I'm out!' Keefe said, covering his ears and singing, 'LALALALALA! I CAN'T HEAR YOU!' as he raced up the stairs to the boys' tree house.”
