"In an age of guidebooks, websites, and radio waves, discovery has nearly become a lost feeling. If anything, it is now a matter of expectations to surpass-rarely a matter of unexpected wonderment. It is unusual to find a situation that appears without word, or a place that was not known to be on the road."
"Walking out with the people, I didn't know which was more exciting, the air race, the parachute jump that failed, or the cunt."
"A man cannot deserve adventures, he cannot earn dragons and hippogriffs."
"Lured by the wilderness, and by the chance of spotting rare desert elephants, a few intrepid tourists make their way to the Skeleton Coast each year. It's just about as remote as any tourist destination on earth, but one that pays fabulous dividends."

'We're glad you aren't what's hunting us, but we're no friends of IPCA. And we're all very, very, thirsty.''What, no flirting?' I asked, trying to buy time. 'Aren't you going to at least try to be sexy? Think of all those vampire fans out there--they'd be so disappointed.' I pulled out my silver knife. Probably should have paid more attention during my knife training. 'Tell you what. Let me go and I promise not to tell anyone that you aren't suave."

"My friends call me by my name.'You don't have any friends.'I don't want you to be my friend, Selia, or my servant, not now. I thought you were both. You have let me know I was wrong. So are you to treat me so. You are wrong."
"I let my head fall back, and I gazed into the Eternal Blue Sky. It was morning. Some of the sky was yellow, some the softest blue. One small cloud scuttled along. Strange how everything below can be such death and chaos and pain while above the sky is peace, sweet blue gentleness. I heard a shaman say once, the Ancestors want our souls to be like the blue sky."
"The woman gestured to a seat and put on a patient face. An impatient sort of patient face, like an impatient face dressing up as a patient one for Halloween."

"The rewrites are a struggle right now. Sometimes I wish writing a book could just be easy for me at last. But when I think about it practically, I am glad it's a struggle. I am (as usual) attempting to write a book that's too hard for me. I'm telling a story I'm not smart enough to tell. The risk of failure is huge. But I prefer it this way.

But in life, rarely do we encounter an onslaught of beauty, entire a hive of handsomeness, find ourselves awash in an ocean of attractiveness, drowning in a miasma of hotness."
"It doesn't seem to matter what we think...The prince will come up here and look at us as if we're barrels in a trader's wagon. And if I'm salt pork and he doesn't care for salt pork, then there's nothing I can do."
"Reading a book is like going on a great journey. You don't know what'll happen, but something is bound to change. And for me, that change has always been good."
