“Did you not have a favorite dinosaur growing up?” “Troodon.” “Mine was Stegosaurus.” “You know Stegosaurus was one of the dumbest dinosaurs? I mean, in relation to its brain-size versus body-size,” I explained. “Thanks for breaking a seven-year-old boy’s heart,” Calvin replied.”

C.S.’s Quotes

“Why can't you say it?" I hardened my voice. "Because I'm telling you, you never have. I'd have remembered."
He stared at me with disbelief. [...]

“Adrien, people get killed all the time. Since when is it your job to find out what happened to them?"

"I'm not usually suspected of murdering them."

"You have been as long as I've known you.”
― Josh Lanyon, A Dangerous Thing

“I know you've all heard the advice, "Show, don't tell." The best writers don't tell you, and quite frankly they don't just show you -- they make you feel it, live it, taste it, touch it. Storytelling is about being in the moment with the characters.”
― Josh Lanyon
