“Zachariah's eyes were described as being of the deepest blue. Yet were a person to shine a light at him tonight, straight into his eyes, he would perceive them to be coloured amber, almost gold. He would perceive a wolfish glow.”

“Zachariah, Zachariah,' whispers Rachel, casting a practised eye over the back of his head and down the length of him, from the shoulder blades where his wings once grew, epochs ago, in some other guise: angel—guardian, avenging—or great vagrant bird—Daurian Jackdaw, Chimney Swift, Pacific Loon!”

“Zacharias bemerkte erstaunt, wie eine Veränderung mit Iani vor sich ging. Seine Haltung versteifte sich, fast schien ein unsichtbarer und nicht fühlbarer Wind seine Kleidung aufzubauschen, dann legte er los: »Idioten! Es sind unsere Prophezeiungen, unser Orakel, unser Schicksal! Wir haben ihm seit Tausenden von Jahren gedient! Warum unterstellt ihr uns, dass wir verhindern wollen, dass sich die Prophezeiungen erfüllen? Es ist uns eine Ehre, einem Auserwählten zu helfen! Ihr Menschen seid es, die das Schicksal ablehnen, es durchkreuzen und übers Ohr hauen wollen! Ihr seid diejenigen, die es nicht verstehen und denken, dass es euren Wünschen und Launen gehorchen muss!«”

“Zacharias blickte in das Gesicht eines schlecht gelaunten Mannes, der ihn finster anstarrte.
Eines nicht-menschlichen Mannes.
Zacharias zuckte zusammen und schluckte. Das war in der Tat eine Überraschung. Dr. da Silva hatte nicht erwähnt, dass es sich bei Iani um einen Magischen handelte, und Zacharias hatte es trotz der Wohngegend nicht erwartet.
Unwillkürlich wanderte Zacharias’ Blick an den bronzefarbenen Armen hinunter zu den geröteten Handgelenken. Ihn überkam Erleichterung und im nächsten Moment Scham, als er die Eisenfesseln mit den magischen Siegeln, die den Magischen den Gebrauch ihrer Magie nur in speziellen Hochsicherheitsgebieten gestatteten, bemerkte. Die Haut wirkte zwar gesünder als der blasse Teint des Orakels, aber die Gelenke waren verschorft und wund, als würden die Fesseln scheuern, obwohl sie nicht zu eng wirkten, oder als würde der bloße Kontakt mit dem Eisen ihn verletzen.
»Genug gestarrt, Mensch?«”

“Zacharias hatte gerade die Recherche beendet und wollte sich eine kleine Stärkung vom Automaten holen, als er bemerkte, dass der Ordnungshüter nicht länger auf seinem Platz stand, sondern Richtung Eingang gegangen war und dort mit dem diensthabenden Mitarbeiter plauderte. Beide starrten zur Glastür und schienen auf etwas zu warten.
Worauf, erfuhr Zacharias keine zwei Minuten später, als die Eingangstür aufging und vier weitere Ordnungshüter einen langhaarigen Auserwählten ins Gebäude begleiteten.
Oh nein!
Zacharias starrte den Mann einen Augenblick ungläubig an. Mit ihm hatte er überhaupt nicht gerechnet.
»DU!«
Der Mann brüllte und rannte los.”

“Zacharias hatte jedoch nicht bedacht, dass Sonntag war und dass einige Sucher ihre Gewohnheiten beibehalten und ausschlafen könnten. Als er an diesem Morgen zum Frühstück herunterkam, befand sich gleich ein halbes Dutzend anderer Auserwählter im Raum. Darunter auch sein Erzfeind.
»Du!«
Warum änderte er nicht seinen Namen? Wer brauchte schon Vornamen, wenn »Du« es ebenfalls tat?”

“Zacharie did not learn of the sorrow his wife was living becasue she was careful to hide it. Tete kept that first love, the stromngest in her life, a secret. She mentioned it only rarely because she could not offer Zacharie a passion of the same intensity; the relationship they shared was genntle and free of urgency.”

“Zachary Jernigan can't write a bad story. He couldn't even if he tried. Each and every time I start one of his inventive, carefully crafted, thoughtful and mind-bending tales I know I’m in for a treat. This collection is sci-fi at its intelligent best.”
“Zachary Jernigan's short stories are in deep conversation with the history of the genre while maintaining a thoroughly modern sensibility. Here’s a new writer who has found his voice. Listen to him and enjoy!”
“Zachary knew his grandfather was opposed to personal gratification or reward, but the story deserved to be told.”

“Zachary looked down into the swirling morass that was his beer as the man walked onto the stage and started to play a solo piece, the band respectfully allowing him to start off his set by staking his claim. Zachary would give him staking his claim. He had his guitar nestling close by his side, as always, the leather of the case gently touching his calf, sending an almost erotic charge through his body every time he moved like the less than innocent brush of a future lover's hand on a bare arm.”

“Zachary notified the local newspapers and all pertinent radio and television stations. He called a press conference at the home of his client, Jennifer Tracey, to announce the filing of a major multimillion-dollar lawsuit against a major religious institution. The dye had been cast. A long, tough road lay ahead. For Zachary, Jennifer, Kenny, and Jake, there was no turning back.”

“Zache watched in expectant silence as he struggled for the words to explain himself. Finally, in an
uncertain tone, he ventured, “I guess…when you’ve kept a secret for a long time, somehow keeping it becomes more important than the secret itself.”

“Zack looks at Jenna and slowly pulls off his sunglasses. "Why, hello, beautiful," he says. "I'm Zack." He shows off his dimples. "And you are...?"
"Not going to sleep with you," Jenna quips, grinning right back at him.
His smile widens. "Well played.”

“Zack shook his head. "I am glad you aren't mine. You're going to be dead before you're forty."
"No," rumbled my husband's soft deep voice from the hallway. "I'm going to be dead before she's forty.”

“Zacznijmy od smutku jako czynnika motywującego do poszukiwania pomocy. To, że smutna osoba nie zawsze otrzymuje pomoc, której potrzebuj,e a niekiedy nawet odstręcza innych, wydaje się zagadkowe. W społeczeństwach mniej indywidualistycznych niż nasze często dostrzega się bardziej jednorodne oczekiwanie, że smutni człowiek wzbudzi współczucie i uzyska wsparcie.”
“Zaczęłam dostrzegać, że dla niektórych religia stanowi po prostu formę polityki, której nie wolno krytykować.”

“Zadatak prezentera je oblikovati priču koja će odisati autentičnošću i nepredvidivošću, paralelno otkrivajući ljepotu svijeta kojem ona pripada. Ako priča osvoji um i srce publike, ona će prezentera nagraditi dajući mu svoje vrijeme do samog kraja priče.”

“Zadkiel, I understand your position dating several girls at once, and I have assumed you love Esperanza more than the rest of us. But I don’t care. You haven’t eliminated me yet, which means I still have a chance with you.” She pushed me back on the grass and straddled me. A ferocious look came to her eyes. “So kiss the others for all I care, but don’t hold back with me; because right now, all I want is to kiss you so passionately that you’ll forget Esperanza even exists.”

“Zadovoljstvom protiv smrti. Sadržajima protiv besmisla. Lepo od vas, ali nećete me osloboditi. Nekoga štediš sve vreme, da bi ga onda pustio, nije fer, uljuljkivanje i sve je u najboljem redu, dok odjednom ne shvatiš kako su ti sve dali da bi te naglo ostavili.”
“Zadziwiająca to jest rzecz w istocie— mówił pan Wołodyjowski— że nie masz w świecie takowych terminów, z których by ten człowiek nie potrafił się salwować. Gdzie męstwem i siłą nie poradzi, tam się fortelem wykręci. Inni tracą fantazję, gdy im śmierć nad szyją zawiśnie, albo polecają się Bogu czekając, co się stanie; a on zaraz poczyna głową pracować i zawsze coś wymyśli. Mężny on w potrzebie bywa jako Achilles, ale woli Ulissesa iść śladem.”

“Zagreus was the son of Zeus. He was slain by the Titans, buried at the foot of Mount Parnassus, and rose from the dead as Dionysos. He was the god of fruit and wine. Like those of Christ his most devoted followers were women. He is the beloved son and occupies a throne at the right hand of his father, Zeus. His empty tomb at Delphi was long preserved by his devotees as proof of his death, and resurrection.”

“Zahara didn’t respond, she just ran, knowing if she turned around she might be as likely to kiss him as she would be to grab the dagger and ram it into his mouth.”

“Zahara roared and threw herself at him, smacking Bryan back against the ground and swinging a right hook into his nose. She exclaimed in triumph as her fist connected with his face, hoping it hurt his nose as bad as the punch hurt her knuckles. Zahara’s triumphant smile turned into a yelp of pain as Bryan knocked her onto her back and rolled her onto her stomach, twisted her arms behind her, and locked them in place with a grip strong enough to bend steel.”

“Zahara’s my opposite in every way that counts. I can’t compare to a woman who can light up a room with her smile alone. She’s like the sun, with everyone orbiting around her to bask in her warmth.. Unlike me, who keeps people away from me with nothing but a scowl.”

“Zahra, I think you're right---love isn't a choice. If I could choose to love Caspida, maybe this would all be going differently, but I don't think that's possible. Not anymore."
All the smoke inside me sinks as I stare at him. "What are you saying?"
He turns and meets my gaze squarely. As much as I want to, I find it impossible to look away. The intensity of his copper gaze holds me entranced.
"I think you know," he says softly. "Or am I the only one who feels it?”

“Zahra, what happens to you when I make my last wish?”
“When your third wish is granted, you will cease to be my master. You may possess the lamp, but you cannot call me. I will return to it and await the next Lampholder.”
Abruptly he stands and walks across the room. When he reaches the wall, he turns and stares down at me. “So to win my revenge, I must lose you.”

“Zaista, zašto smo tako uvjereni da je Van Gogh opstao zahvaljujući svojoj genijalnosti, a pritom podcjenjujemo detalj, odsječeno uho? Po čemu vi pamtite živuće moderne umjetnike? Ima li ijednoga ili ijedne među njima koji nečime nisu skandalizirali javnost? Gdje je taj samozatajni skromni umjetnik, pokažite mi ga! Svi su umjetnici mitotvorci, samo jednima uspijeva da postanu slavni, a drugima ne.”

“Zając wisiał w łazience, a krew robiła "kap, kap, kap" - i zachlapywała wannę. Usiadłem na opuszczonej desce sedesowej. Położyłem na kolanach zeszyt. Sięgnąłem po ołówek.
I poczułem, że ktoś mi się przypatruje.
Ktoś, coś.
Zając.
Że nie spuszcza ze mnie wzroku.
Że hipnotyzuje mnie barwionym na czerwono spojrzeniem.
Bałem się podnieść głowę. Siedziałem, wstrzymując oddech, by nie sprowokować go jakimkolwiek ruchem. Nasłuchiwałem szmerów. Tata i pan Stefek pokrzykiwali w pokoju, a ja tu zamierałem po każdym kap, kap, kap...
- To nie ja cię zabiłem - wykrztusiłem wreszcie.
- A kto? - chciał wiedzieć zając.
- Pan Stefek.
Kap.”

“Zak rolls onto his side and reaches out with his free hand, stroking my cheek with his thumb.
"You okay now?" he whispers.
I return a weak smile and nod.
"Good. Get some sleep. I'll chase away the monsters.”
“Zak thought of his homeland, Menzoberranzan, the city and the cavern that had stood for millennia. Every drow family tried to put their mark on it, be it with circling stairways flowing from stalactite to stalactite, highlighted with faerie fire of varying hues, but those were such little details, he thought. He was sure that the city looked very much as it had soon after its founding.”

“Zaka husaidia kueneza injili duniani kote. Ukitoa zaka umesaidia kueneza injili duniani kote. Toa zaka na mapato yako yatabarikiwa. Usitoe zaka na mapato yako yatalaaniwa.”
“Zakath's face grew thoughtful. "You know something, Garion?" he said. "Man thinks he owns the world, but we share it with all sorts of creatures who are indifferent to our overlordship. They have their own societies, and I supposed even their own cultures. They don't even pay attention to us, do you?" "Only when we inconvenience them...It teaches us humility," Garion agreed.”
