"The doctor seemed especially troubled by the fact of the robbery having been unexpected, and attempted in the night-time; as if it were the established custom of gentlemen in the housebreaking way to transact business at noon, and to make an appointment, by the twopenny post, a day or two previous."

"I was having a field day down the Westend; my deep pockets were jingling and full of money nearly every day of the week. My brother's bird, Irene, wanted a fur coat, so I got her one by throwing a brick through the shop window and grabbing the coat off the shop dummy. Once I got to the bed-sit, I put the jacket on and waltzed in to the flat looking like Liberace, the two of them burst out laughing. Irene was like a tramp eating chips. 'Let's try it on, Jimmy, please?' As she swooned around like Joan Collins with the fur coat on, she had the air of a council estate beauty queen about her."

"Hope is a delicate thing. A dangerous thing."
Hope
"You look disappointed to see me, Zach,' Macey teased. 'Don't you like my jacket?"
Humor
"Power has always corrupted, my dear. Even the promise of power. It is a hard thing to look at through the fence for hundreds of years without wondering what it would be like on the other side."
Life
"Nothing ever happens quickly (except when it does). Nothing is ever, ever easy (except when it is). And, most of all, nothing ever goes perfectly according to plan (except in the movies)."
Reality
"It is an occupational hazard that anyone who has spent her life learning how to lie eventually becomes bad at telling the truth."
Morality
"I know too well how dangerous hope can be, how it grows and sometimes dies, taking its host with it. It's more powerful than anything Dr.Fibs keeps in his labs, more precious than all the secrets inside Sublevel Two."
Hope
"I think you're freaked about what happened at Cambridge. I think it scared you.''I've been through worse, Bex, I said, joining her on the lower stairs. 'Way worse.'Oh, not the attack. Bex raised her finger in contradiction. 'What happened before the attack. I think you saw the future. Which is kind of freaky when - two months ago - you didn't think you were going to have one."
Fear
"She'd absolutely adored the library-an entire building where anyone could take things they didn't own and feel no remorse about it."
Libraries
"Ooh..I want one' - BexThey're not puppies.' -Cammie."
Humor
"You don't need a search warrant to go through someone's trash. Seriously. Once it hits the curb it is totally fair game-you an look it up."
