Quotes
- “Small towns were terrible places to grow up with world-sized dreams—especially when those dreams were the only things you had left to hold onto.”
- ““Hi, Sven.”“Hi, yourself. The answer’s no.””
- “When it comes to scouts, heroes are just people who confuse cowardice with common sense.”
- ““Uncle Sven and I are about to start your first lesson in survival theory.”She gave them both a dubious glance. “That being?”Sven guffawed. “When the fight starts, be someplace else. And always remember, nobody watches your butt for you when it’s You versus the Universe—and Margo, the universe just don’t give a damn.””
- ““Oh. I was beginning to worry.”“You do that,” Kit laughed. “I like it better when you’re worried. Proves you’re thinking.”She put out a pink tongue. “You’re mean and horrible. Why does everybody else like you?”Kit scratched his head. “Search me. Guess it’s my good looks and charm.””
- ““Education,” he smiled, “is never a waste of time.””
