“Maybe we can help. Where are you from? I've never seen you around here before. And, how did you get that cut? Where are you staying?” He shook his head and giggled. “Are you the police? You ask a lot of questions Phoenix.” “No. I just ... never mind.” I wanted to know more about him. The way those sparkly green eyes gazed at me. The way his dimples sunk deep into his cheeks, as he smiled and said my name with his deep voice.”

“Bah, he still saw the same stupidity. The image of the hanged man in the farming community of Yondern flashed through his mind. Now there was a war brewing between the Steelwielders and some foreign religion. More mindless loss over beliefs and mythology. But.. he could not deny the noble features in his companions. Although Perfidian was too blithe and Elaina too didactic, they had risked their life to do what was right. He did owe them his life. He could not deny the nobility he saw in many different people, bits and pieces of nobility that shined through under pressure. The guards who risked their lives to protect the villagers, Markham who flew at the dangerous dwarf, swords flashing; even an Eruthian merchant who stopped in his journey to share tales with complete strangers'.”

“At that moment, I knew what my next step needed to be. I admitted that I was indeed not well. Not physically, not emotionally, not mentally. I needed to find my way. I could not continue living in that spiral of darkness. I had already hit rock bottom. Now there was only one way left to go—up!”

“I once heard that all reactions to life could be summed up in one of three words every child knows: yikes, yum and yuk. The 100,000 other words in the English language are just refinements and explications of the basic emotions conveyed by these three words. “Yikes” expresses the primary negative but protective emotion of fear; “yum” and “yuk” are the simplest ways to express the fundamental judgments of good and bad which underlie all of life’s experiences.”

“More than once, Liuani had heard how a difficult analysis of a scan had been resolved merely by handing it over to Rysal for a second opinion. She was talented in identifying the patterns that others would miss. So in the end, Liuani had to admit to herself that she was inclined to accept that if Rysal said there was something there, then it was likely that there was something there.”

“This pattern keeps repeating itself: murders happen, the murderer is caught and confined. They are never successfully rehabilitated, none have ever admitted to remembering or consciously committing any of the murders. The murders stop happening while they are confined, but once they die, within one to one-and-a half cycles, it starts happening again.”

“All planets exist for a reason. Some exist to provide various resources in the form of chemical elements, while others harbour life that in some way impact the universe. On Syvopia, we affect the universe through ways of entertainment.” “Entertainment?” Dean responds in astonishment. “What type of entertainment?” “The Intergalactic Team Games, of course,” Emperor Pryme says cheerfully. “We provide entertainment for our locals as well as those from other worlds. Our contestants must endure various challenges with high risk and high reward.”

“Why won't you believe it? she asked. Because I've been to his house, said the boy. So have I, and I didn't see anything to make me think he'd been taken by force. He left because he wanted to. No, she heard the boy say. If he'd left of his own accord, he would have brought his books. Books are heavy, said Mary-Sue, and besides you can always buy new ones. . . . No, I'm not talking about those books, I'm talking about his books, said the boy. What do you mean his books? said Mary-Sue. The ones he wrote and published. He wouldn't have left those behind even if the world was coming to an end.”

“The investment committee may be the most important committee within any plan sponsor or other investment-type organization.”

“The importance of the role of the plan sponsor cannot be emphasized enough. The decisions made at this level can significantly add to or subtract from pension and investment assets.”

“I won’t say that the majority of investment committees are dysfunctional; however, I also can’t say that the majority are functional.”

“To anyone who knows me well enough, I'm not a practitioner of incest. I don't even drink, smoke, or do any form of street-drugs. And yet, here, online, are a couple of NT [neurotypical] cattle, flapping their yaps about a self-published Indie-author they know NOTHING about. You see, I think the problem with today's NT-cattle society and most of their cohorts can effectively be boiled down to three things... too many street drugs, alcohol, and/or tobacco products, too much technology, smart or not, and lastly, too much incest. Just in case I wasn't being clear about the subject of KARMA before, then all you haters better WATCH OUT!!!!! Because if you feel so content to do or say something bad about or to someone else, then sooner or later, your Karma WILL bounce back to you. And it will bite you REAL HARD in the backside. And if this doesn't happen to any haters of ME, PERSONALLY, then I will be the harbinger of YOUR KARMA!!!”

“Believe me when I say this Sherri, he saved your life. Stay clean in honor of his life. I’m going to give you my business card, it has my number and Jordon’s number. You can call us if you think of anything that could help us, also, even if all you need is to talk yourself out of doing drugs. We will be there to listen. Thanks for all your help, you have been a big help. We catch this guy, and your boyfriend will be smiling from heaven. Thank you, Sherri.”
