"But then I came to the conclusion that no, while there may be an immigration problem, it isn't really a serious problem. The really serious problem is assimilation."

Personal Development

"She was torn between the impulse to run and the urge to curl up like a pill bug, close her eyes, tuck her head beneath her arms, and play the game of since-I-can't-see-monsters-monsters-can't-see-me."

Psychology

"Who cares about a test? There will be a million more quizzed in your life."

Education

"I wonder if he really could rationalize what I did to him, really treat betrayal like the slight transgression of a recalcitrant business partner. I wonder if I hurt him. If he can rationalize what I did to him, it's easy to imagine how he rationalized what he did to me."

Psychology

"You said you were allowed to lose it,' some part of her reminded herself. 'Not yet, not yet."

Self

"Those who really love you don't mean to hurt you and if they do, you can't see it in their eyes but it hurts them too."

Relationship

"She loves the serene brutality of the ocean, loves the electric power she felt with each breath of wet, briny air."

Nature

"I survive at the edge of friends circles."

Psychology

"Maybe it was that nearly everyone else was dead and she felt a little bit dead too, but she figured that even a vampire deserved to be saved. Maybe she ought to leave him, but she wasn't going to."

Ethics

"I'm sorry,' she said to each of the dead as she unzipped and unfastened their things, 'I'm sorry Courtney. I'm sorry Marcus. I'm sorry Rachel. I'm sorry Jon. I'm sorry I'm alive and you're dead. I'm sorry I was asleep. I'm sorry I didn't save you and now I'm taking your things. I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry."

Emotion

"There's nothing quite as funny as someone else's misery - Cassel Sharpe."
