Quotes edit see section history

  • “Okay, tell me this-from a species that does the majority of thinking with it's penis-" "I resent that. I don't think with my penis more than twenty-five percent of the time." "Tell that to somebody you didn't just nail in the sleep chair.”
    Eve Dallas, Roarke
  • “You failed to inform me your schedule. Now I guess I have to cancel the hot date I lined up with the lap-dancing twins." "Ah, Lars and Sven. I've heard they're very inventive.”

I didn't want anyone to hold on to me. Until you. And I got through and I got by, and it was okay. But I think, maybe, if I'd just kept getting through and getting by, I'd have come to a point where I couldn't do it anymore. And if I couldn't do it anymore, it'd be the end of me, Roarke." She took a steadying breath. "So when you hold on to me, you're helping me stand up one more time. And the dead, you're standing for them, too. I just wanted to say that.”
    Eve Dallas

    Summerset
  • “I was single a hell of a lot longer than I've been married. I never stooped to cyber-world." "Big deal when you're tall and thin with jungle-cat eyes and have a sexy little dent in your chin.""You coming on to me, Peabody?" "My love for you is a fearsome thing, Dallas But I've given up dating cops.”
    Eve Dallas, Delia Peabody
