“Einbeita sér, Steinn, sagði ég við sjálfan mig. Þetta er bara skýrsla. Þú ert enga stund að lesa þetta. Ég settist aftur við, leit á skjáinn, stóð upp, ákvað að laga kaffi. Að lifa í líkama er eins og að eiga hund, ýmislegt sem þarf að gera til að halda honum góðum. Kaffi er gott til að halda honum uppteknum á meðan hugurinn fæst við lestur. Næstum jafn gott og nikótín. Sestu drengur, sestu, sagði ég við hundinn í mér og gaf honum kaffi að naga. Það dugði, ég varð aftur læs.”

“I've weaned myself down to about, on a great day, on a really great day, three cigarettes. For a nicotine junkie the essential cigs are three: the first-of-the-day cigarette smoked after lunch, the after-dinner cigarette and then the one taken whenever you want - the luxury-wild-card smoke.

It’s a fact known throughout the universes that no matter how carefully the colors are chosen, institutional decor ends up as either vomit green, unmentionable brown, nicotine yellow or surgical appliance pink. By some little-understood process of sympathetic resonance, corridors painted in those colors always smell slightly of boiled cabbage—even if no cabbage is ever cooked in the vicinity.”

“I knew you were a badass," continued Adrian. "But I didn't realize just how much until I saw you dropping guardians out there." "Does that mean you're going to be nicer to me?" I teased. "I'm already nice to you," he said loftily. "Do you know how badly I want a cigarette right now? But no. I manfully suffer through nicotine withdrawal—all for you.”

“Gwen smiled. "Hardly. Bedraggled is being in the full throes of nicotine withdrawal, and after a week on a bus with a group of senior citizens, falling into a cave, and landing on a body." "And then getting tossed back a few centuries, with no idea of what's going on," Chloe agreed. "Naked, too, weren't you?" Gwen nodded wryly. Gabby blinked. "I gave you my plaid," Drustan protested indignantly.”
