Najlaa asked Michelle Hodkin:

Is there is a particular quote from the trilogy that you're fond of?

Michelle Hodkin It changes. I'm proud of the first sentence: "My name is not Mara Dyer, but my lawyer told me I had to choose something." I worked hard at that one--I must've written at least 30 versions of the first chapter before I got the structure of it right.

From Evolution, it's probably, “They rattled my cage to see if I'd bite. When they released me, they'd see that the answer was yes.” I actually wrote that while spending the night in a veterinary hospital with my sick dog. There was one dog that had just had major surgery who was so frightened to be there that she just kept snarling at anyone who walked by, and the image stayed with me.

From Retribution, I'd have to say, "The freaks shall inherit the Earth."
