Quotes edit

“Roland was legend. He'd survive for thousands of years. Some thought he was Gilgamesh, some thought he was Merlin.”
Kate Daniels -
“Kate Daniels and her deadly attack poodle. Kill me, somebody. Julie, my adopted niece, would have a field day with this.”
Kate Daniels -
“Was his buddy made out of orange rocks and did he at any point yell, 'It's clobbering time'?”
Kate Daniels -
“Translation: be happy I didn't pull it out of my ass. Thank the gods for small favors.”
Kate Daniels -
“Curran stalked into the room as if he owned it, turned, and crossed his arms on his chest. Biceps bulged, stretching the sleeves of his sweatshirt. If there was any justice in the world, he should've gone bald, lost all his teeth, and developed a terrible skin rash. But no, the bastard looked good.”
Kate Daniels -
“I looked at Jim. 'Please relay my congratulations to His Majesty on learning such a big word all by himself.'”
Kate Daniels -
“'You have no idea how Cool this is,' Andrea said. 'It's like having tea with Wyatt Earp and listening to him tell you about Dodge City and Doc. This stuff is legend.'”
Andrea -
“Just a kid, really. A Kid who saw a bully, stood up to him and was crushed. The good guys didn't always win.”
Kate Daniels -
“The notation state that the parchment was found inside the amulet and it was blank. Whooptidoo.”
Kate Daniels -
“Thirty minutes later I had learned way too much useless trivia about what bored Savannah PAD mages did for fun. Their conclusions after seventeen tests on the parchment amounted to: it's blank, it's magic, we don't know what it is, and we can't read it. Toodles.”
Kate Daniels -
“Assigning this petition to a man is out of the question. I have to rely on an Academy dropout with a discipline problem and a big mouth.”
Ted -
“When you walk a dog on a short leash, she's close enough to bite you. Keep it in mind.”
Kate Daniels -
“Since he was my best friend's honey bunny, I was pretty much immune to his evil powers, but once in a while he caught me off-guard.”
Kate about Raphael -
“I sighed and went to get Marigold. I had an appointment with a sexual deviant and I didn't want to be late.”
Kate Daniels -
“Aren't we pleased with ourselves. Are you Chinese, Japanese, half-white? I can't tell, your features are neither here nor there.”
Kate to Siaman -
“I'd just had a conversation with a poodle and accused him of criticizing me. Curran had finally driven me out of my mind.”
Kate Daniels

“When I’m with him, I can feel myself getting better. It’s like he’s picking up broken pieces of me and putting me back together, and I don’t even know how he’s doing it. We never talk about it. We don’t go to therapy. He just loves me and that’s enough.”

Some people got vicious Dobermans. I got a shaved attack poodle in a black sweater. His tough, spawn-of-hell image had taken a fatal blow, but at least he would be warm.

“It’s a nine square, three by three. Five in the middle, the sum is fifteen. The Jews employed Hebrew letters as numerals. The center number, five, corresponds to the Hebrew letter heh, which is a symbol for Tetragrammaton, YHWH, the holiest of the names of God. The sum, fifteen, is the Hebrew yah, which in itself is a name of God. This is a Jewish magic square.”
