    Nick Hornby
    “People worry about kids playing with guns, and teenagers watching violent videos; we are scared that some sort of culture of violence will take them over. Nobody worries about kids listening to thousands - literally thousands - of songs about broken hearts and rejection and pain and misery and loss.”

    Hunter S. Thompson
    “We are all alone, born alone, die alone, and—in spite of True Romance magazines—we shall all someday look back on our lives and see that, in spite of our company, we were alone the whole way. I do not say lonely—at least, not all the time—but essentially, and finally, alone. This is what makes your self-respect so important, and I don't see how you can respect yourself if you must look in the hearts and minds of others for your happiness.”
    ― Hunter S. Thompson, The Proud Highway: Saga of a Desperate Southern Gentleman, 1955-1967

    “He looked at her. 'In order to finish, I'll have to have defeated six Infected, Dusk, and Vengeous himself.'

    Yeah. So?'

    The Infected I can manage.'

    She frowned. 'And Vengeous? I mean, you can beat him, right?'

    Well,' he said, "I can certainly try. And trying is half the battle.'

    What's the other half?'

    He shrugged. 'Hitting him more times than he hits me.”

    “What is it?' Stephanie whispered.
    'That, my dear Valkyrie, is what we call a monster.'

    “Stairs," Valkyrie said, disappointed.
    "Not just ordinary stairs," Skulduggery told her as he led the way down. "Magic stairs."
    "Really?"
    "Oh, yes."
    She followed him into the darkness. "How are they magic?"
    "They just are."
    "In what way?"
    "In a magicky way."
    She glared at the back of his head. "They aren't magic at all, are they?"
    "Not really.”
