• Mother Mary of Anabolic Grace, we got Teras incoming?” He levels angry blue eyes on me. “You’re a hex, lady, dark luck, powerful bad juju, ken?” “Only to people who try to kidnap me,” I tell him sweetly, and March snorts, so I feel obliged to add, “Or rescue me…” And then Dina makes a pfft sound. “Or who travel with me…” My gaze sweeps around the darkened interior, trying to find an ally, but nobody will hold my eyes more than two seconds, it seems. “Fine, frag you all, I’m dark juju, bad luck, and you’re all doomed.

• Well, I always tried to look nice and be feminine even in the worst tragedies and crisis, there's no reason to add to everyone's misery by looking miserable yourself. That's my philosophy.

Just enough to show that I still had my self-respect.

• I will tell you a little secret about archaeologists, dear Reader. They all pretend t be very high-minded. They claim that their sole aim in excavation is to uncover the mysteries of the past and add to the store of human knowledge. They lie. What they really want is a spectacular discovery, so they can get their names in the newspapers and inspire envy and hatred in the hearts of their rivals.

• A long time ago, Trinity and I made a list of types of guys you should never date. We add to it every now and then. It includes things like never date a guy whose computer costs more than his car (you'll never get him to pay attention to you except over instant messages), never date a guy who has a pet lizard (he's probably into weird stuff in bed) and never under any circumstances go on a second date with a guy who says the word "married" on the first date (he'll turn out to be a mama's boy or a religious type)

• Nature designed with a random set of genes and circumstances in which we were born. To be happy, we have to accept it and make the most of nature’s design. Are you? Goals will help you do that. I must add, don’t just have career or academic goals. Set goals to give you a balanced, successful life. I use the word balanced before successful. Balanced means ensuring your health, relationships, mental peace are all in good order.

• I add my oath of protection to the bone,' he said in a whisper. 'To you now and to any child you may bear in the future. I would trade no day I spend with you for a life of safe slavery. I accepted the post of Seeker of my own free will. And if Darken Rahl takes the whole world into madness, then we will die with a sword in our hands, not chains on our wings.

We will fight with our last breath if need be, and in our death, let us inflict a wound on him that will fester until it claims him.

• Supongamos que el entretenimiento sea el único fin de la lectura; aun así, creo que sostendríais que ningún empleo mental es tan amplificador de las simpatías ni tan esclarecedor para el entendimiento. Otras ocupaciones no pertenecen a todos los tiempos, a todas las edades, a todas las condiciones; pero esto da estímulo a nuestra juventud y diversión a nuestra vejez; esto añade un encanto al éxito, y ofrece un remanso de consuelo al fracaso. Durante las vigilias nocturnas, en todos nuestros viajes y en nuestras horas de descanso, es nuestro compañero infalible.

• Quiero decir, tienes razón sobre el fuego y la guerra, todo eso. Pero eso del Rapto... bueno, si pudieras verlos a todos en el Cielo... filas serradas de ellos tan lejos como la mente pueda seguir y más allá, liga tras liga de nosotros, espadas flameantes, todo eso, bueno, lo que estoy tratando de decir es ¿quién tiene tiempo para ir por ahí escogiendo gente y haciéndola saltar por los aires para mofarse de la gente que se está muriendo de la enfermedad de la radiación en la tierra reseca y ardiente debajo de ellos? Si esa es tu idea de un tiempo moralmente aceptable, debo añadir.
