It’s a Random Quote Post!

One of the things I love about reading ebooks is how easy it is to highlight passages and then let Goodreads save them for me. Here are few that I still like a while after reading the books.

“Bayard is a born hero, which is the larval form of a dead hero. Don’t let him be one. If I cannot have him as a husband, I will at least not have him molt.”

There was a sign on a wooden stake in the ground. It had been painted over so many times that the paint stood out a quarter inch from the surface of the wood. On a background of white paint, simple black letters read: PLEASE MINIMIZE YOUR FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN STUPIDITY BEFORE ENTERING.

“‘I rewatched Fringe and it mostly held up.’” He snuck her a glance and added, “I’m really gonna miss Lance Reddick.” She nodded. “May his memory be a blessing.”

They ate one of the top five best meals Levi had ever had, and Laurence’s mom apologized that it wasn’t very good.

“Welcome to England,” Graham said. “Our natural condition is proud and offended.”

And… here it is…. the quote that made me scream and want to pull out my hair and rend my garments….
