“Tornadoes devastate and leave a mess behind,
just like your ending,
so the instant that 'Psychlone' sees you rebuilding,
she's going to spin completely out of control, every time.
You can't get sucked into the same vortex twice
if you eject the monster from being it's own victim;
but until then, I'd pull in your rocking chairs,
lock down your trash cans and recycling bins,
and take your potted azaleas inside...
... if I were you.”

Sembravamo un gruppo di ragazzini che giocano ai fratelli di sangue, solo che si faceva sul serio.”

“TORONTO -- When Cameron Crowe was flying to the Toronto film festival recently, he walked down the aisle of the plane and studied his fellow passengers sitting in front of their personal TV sets.

“Toronto won't topple New York or London as a financial center, nor will it dethrone Los Angeles as the international entertainment capital, but with its large and stable banks, numerous knowledge-based industries thriving in the surrounding mega-regions, and an increasingly diverse population, it will gain ground. And with employment opportunities in the largest centers eroding, it can make a big move on top global talent. It stands as a model of an older, once heavily industrial Frostbelt city that has not only turned itself around but continues to grow and thrive.”
“Toronto's likable, but it could be a lot more, as I think Montreal is, lovable. What we need more than anything, I think, is a great pedestrian promenade. Pick a busy streetscape, close it to cars forever, and it will fill with people enjoying nothing more than the pleasure of their own company.”

“Tortall and the Queens Riders!”
Source: Emperor Mage
“Tortilla, crispy. Pork, savory. Squash, sweet. Fontina, gooey and salty. Chimichurri, peppery and green and bright, with some acid. Crema, tart and creamy and cool. And goat cheese..." He trails off.
"What does the goat cheese bring to the party?"
"Well, it's creamy, but the crema gives enough creaminess. So the goat cheese fights with it a little bit, overwhelms it, sort of makes the flavor... blurry?"
He's such a badass. "That's a good word for it, Ian. Anything else?"
He takes another bite. "I'd probably do the crema like the chimichurri, just a last-minute drizzle on top instead of underneath with the schmear... it's making the underside of the tortilla lose its crisp."
"That's a good catch. What is our rule about presentation?"
He grins and recites it like a catechism. "Presentation is important, but our mouth better be the happy one in the end. It needs to taste even better than it looks.”

“Torture continues to be practiced around the world by rogue regimes whose cruel methods match their determination to crush the human spirit.”
“Torture Cuisine by Stewart Stafford
Kitchen death growls,
Whipping that cream,
Beating those eggs,
Burning all the toast.
Knifing diced cheese,
Drawn, quartered ham,
Straining tomato sauce,
Crushed-down walnuts.
Peeling potatoes naked,
Then smashing them up,
You say purée, I say mash,
Turkey and chicken skewers.

“Torture injures everyone who comes into contact with it and corrodes the country that abides it.”
“Torture is abominable, things like ripping out someone's nails, or burning someone with a blowtorch. And those who practice it feel a certain power but it's suicidal. They will never get over what they've done. And it creates sadists.”
