“Skin, bones, blood and organs transplant from person to person. Even what’s inside you already, the colonies of microbes and bugs that eat your food for you, without them you’d die. Nothing of you is all-the-way yours. All of you is inherited. Whatever you’re thinking, a million other folks are thinking. Whatever you do, they’re doing, and none of you is responsible. All of you is a cooperative effort.”
“Skincare is a great form of self-care. It is soothing and calming and is

wonderful).”

“Skinner shared how he came to worship an elite White Jesus Christ, who cleaned people up through “rules and regulations,” a savior who prefigured Richard Nixon’s vision of law and order. But one day, Skinner realized that he’d gotten Jesus wrong. Jesus wasn’t in the Rotary Club and he wasn’t a policeman. Jesus was a “radical revolutionary, with hair on his chest and dirt under his fingernails.” Skinner’s new idea of Jesus was born of and committed to a new reading of the gospel. “Any gospel that does not … speak to the issue of enslavement” and “injustice” and “inequality—any gospel that does not want to go where people are hungry and poverty-stricken and set them free in the name of Jesus Christ—is not the gospel.”

“Skinny as Mum was, she'd always had a good appetite, so when she couldn't eat her roast potatoes I knew the end must be nigh.
[...] We opened our presents and Mum put a polka-dot shower cap on her head and let us take pictures of her in it, which was most unlike her, she liked to be a bit dignified about things. This was another indication that she knew she was dying. Other signs to look out for are when an elderly person starts giving away their things – usually about two or three years before they die – and if they insist, rather aggressively, on returning anything they've borrowed or get annoyed if you give them gifts – they don't want any more clutter.”

Just smile, giggle to yourself, or wave “hi” with a wag of your pinky finger, if you must. But then the incident is over, and no stress or annoyance remains, at least not in my car. The self-centered driver has the negative attitude. Don’t let someone else’s poor behavior choices become contagious.”

“Sklepienie czaszki to skomplikowana struktura złożona z siedmiu oddzielnych kości: kości czołowej; pary kości ciemieniowych, które tworzą górną i tylną część czaszki; kości skroniowych, położonych niżej, po obu stronach czaszki; kości klinowej tworzącej część środkową podstawy czaszki oraz kości potylicznej, ciężkiej tylnej i dolnej części czaszki, która opiera się na pierwszym kręgu szyjnym i wprowadza rdzeń kręgowy do czaszki. Miejsca, w których poszczególne kości czaszki łączą się ze sobą, nazywane są szwami, co odnosi się do ich wyglądu, przypominają bowiem nierówne, ząbkowane szwy utrzymujące w całości monstrum stworzone przez doktora Frankensteina. Kiedy się rodzimy, połączenia te zbudowane są z chrząstki, jednak w miarę upływu czasu chrząstka kostnieje, a szwy stają się coraz gładsze, by po wielu latach niemal całkowicie zniknąć.”

“Skogen framstod för de gamles sinnen såsom någonting underfullt, oändligt, utan gränser och ägare, men som visserligen stod under dolda makters beskärm: sådant är skogens enfaldiga skaldskap.

“Skulduggery."
"Fletcher."
Fletcher stuck out his hand. Skulduggery observed it for a moment.
"I'm sorry, what are we doing now?"
"Shaking hands," Fletcher said. "Like adults. I just want you to know that this past year has changed me. I've grown, as a person. I'm not the same Fletcher you used to know.
"You look a lot like him."
"Well, yeah, but-"
"And you have the same ridiculous hair."
"Can we just shake hands?"
"Of course we can," Skulduggery said, and they shook. "Now what?"
"I, uh...I don't really know. What do adults usually do after they shake hands?"
"Generally, the first thing they do is let go."
"Oh, right," Fletcher said, and Skulduggery took his hand back. "So, Skulduggery, how have you been? You're looking well. That's a really nice tie.
"It's blue."
"And such a nice shade."
Skulduggery looked at Valkyrie. "You promised me he wouldn't be annoying.”
