Quotes edit see section history

• “This is, I think, what it must mean to be human: to want something good for someone else.”

  Lucius Wolfe

• “It is amazing how much you can see in other people- the good and the bad, we won't even talk about the ugly- if you just shut up and watch them: watch what they do, listen what they say, hear how they say it.”

  Lucius Wolfe

• “There are two good reasons for being nice to the underdogs in this life. One, because if the underdog grows up to be the kind of person that starts shooting, you'll have a chance at survival. Two, because it's the right thing to do.”

  Aurora Belle's mom

• “Hey, what were you talking about with that weird guy?" "You mean the librarian?" He nods. "That 'weird guy' happens to be my father." "Oops.”

  Jessup Tristan, Aurora

• “There's this boy in my class, Bobby Parker. He told me he thinks you're crazy." "And what did you say in response?" "I told him if he didn't shut up about it, I'd sic you on him and then he'd see how crazy you really were. Was that okay?" "I'm not sure that threatening your fellow classmates with me visiting upon them grievous bodily harm is the best way to convince them that I'm not the craziest person in town, but yes, what you told Bobby Parker was perfectly all right.”

  Misty Wolfe

• “You sonofabitch!" "Actually, my mother is a fine woman.”

  Jessup, Lucius
