Kendra felt stunned. She had been cuddling and flirting with the son of the Fairy Queen?

That’s what I keep trying to tell everyone! Finally, somebody gets it! I think Mom is going to choke Kendra to death.
-
I sound. Like a demented rooster.

In his first communication, which arrived via homing canister, Hank told me that if we acquired the Translocator, he had a way to smuggle us in. The day I learned you had recovered the Translocator, I sent word to Hank, journeyed to a predetermined location in Istanbul, and found a dwarf awaiting me.

False humility is more insulting than open pride!

Please," Kendra said. "Think of all the lives that will be destroyed." "I have," Mark said. "Believe me, darling, I grasp all aspects of this, I really do. But how much has the public I'm protecting worried about me? My sanity, my happiness, my right to find peace?" "They made no promises," Bracken said. "They are not preventing the end of the world.

No matter how hard I try, there's a cynical corner of my mind where everything is an act. People are game pieces. Information is currency.
-
I am custodian of the knowledge hoarded here.

Remember, if you get into horrible trouble and desperately need me, I’ll be much too busy with my own problems!

Patience mimics the power of infinity. And nobody can win a staring contest with infinity. No matter how long you last, infinity is just getting started.

You look tired," Rachel told Jason. "I wish I could jog and sleep at the same time." "Can't you?" Ferrin asked, joining them at the little cascade. "I always imagined that you could sleep rolling down a mountainside in a barrel." "I probably could today," Jason conceded.

We must set aside our wishes and give heed to reality. Nobody can accept the truth while hiding from it. When a decision matters, we have to stare at the truth unflinchingly. Only then can we find peace in our choices.
