Quotes by Chad Morris (?)

“Well I give you an A,” Carol said. “A+++ . . . and some extra credit . . . and some cookies. But I guess here they’d have to be virtual cookies and they wouldn’t be nearly as cool. Except—if they were virtual, you could taste them, but not actually gain the calories. Oh, that would be genius.”
― Chad Morris, The Impossible Race: Cragbridge Hall, Volume 3

“we need tragedies. They teach us. We learn from them. Without tragedies, our hearts do not commit to avoid future ones. Without tragedies, many of our hearts would not turn to others, open up to them. And without tragedies, we do not have heroes, for they are not formed without great conflicts.”
― Chad Morris, The Avatar Battle

“If you ever try to explode tranquilizer bombs on innocent people again,” Derick said, “you can fully expect someone to appear out of nowhere and shoot your evil backside.” Derick shot again and stepped backward, mysteriously disappearing.”
