  • Amy Lane Quote #1

    'I can get mad all I want, but they don't mean it. They love me. Sometimes, some creatures, when they get cornered, they forget who loves them and think everybody's the enemy. You don't just leave them alone, cold and afraid, because their instinct takes over and it's wrong. You don't if you give a shit, you know?'


  • Amy Lane Quote #2

    And now Kit’s cock—which had mostly been used for taking a leak before that moment—woke up and screamed I WANT! FEED ME ASSHOLE! And Kit had given it a good handshake until it threw up.

  • Amy Lane Quote #3

    As soon as Joe was done feeding Ira Kenby’s fucking dog, he was going to call social services again, and Casey would be taken to a home that would be more appropriate for a runaway. So really, Joe would say, they owed much of their lives together to a senile old man and a dog tortured by hunger to the point it didn’t know better. (Casey would always reply that they would have met again, because there was just no way they could have lived without each other, but Joe’s faith didn’t run that deep. Casey would say that was because Joe didn’t have a Josiah Daniels in his life, and Joe would shake his head and walk off, but that was later in their story.)

  • Amy Lane Quote #4

    Don’t worry, due’ane,” He murmured lowly....“Who’s Dewey Anne.” I asked him, voice gruff. He was so familiar, this Bracken, but so strange, naked next to me. I could touch
    him, I realized with wonder. I could run my hands from his flank to his shoulder, and he would welcome the touch because he was mine.
    You are.” He whispered, and I met his eyes. “It’s elfish, the feminine noun
    for ‘other equal half’. You are my other. My everything.”
    --Wounded
    (Bracken and Cory)

  • Amy Lane Quote #5

    Green heard her voice, murmuring,
    and Adrian’s, murmuring back. Something inside of him made an actual
    glass-cracking noise—and before he could convince himself that that it was
    his imagination, Blissa and three of the other nymphs danced through the
    hallway and into the living room.
    “We heard that.” Blissa said, sweetly.
    “Heard what?” He asked, genuinely surprised.
    “Heard your heart breaking.” Said Grace.

  • Amy Lane Quote #6

    Hammer does not think he will make it through this next winter. His breath comes short in his chest, and it takes much effort for him to get up and dressed. My body is still creaky and sound, but with every labor of his breath, I think that my heart will not endure. Enduring were Hammer’s gift, not mine, and I will not endure a life in which he does not laugh by my side and touch my hand, wish for the best things for me, and rejoice when I have them. My sturdy, blessed, stoic Hammer—how can life be, without him?

  • Amy Lane Quote #7

    Hammer, I finished lamely, as he waited patiently for my thoughts to find their voice, we have got to find better words for the things we have in our hearts.
    Words seem to be weak things, he murmured into my hair, and I could only hope our hearts would prove stronger.

  • Amy Lane Quote #8

    He glanced behind him and saw Jeremy and Ariadne talking quietly, like children telling secrets. Good. He didn’t want Jeremy embarrassed by this next thing. He turned back to the doctors, his face all business. “Sex,” he said seriously. “We both waited damned long to have it, and we’d like to have some more.” Jeremy’s actual doctor didn’t bat an eyelash. “Internally he’s fine, but go easy. If you’re going to do something anally, make sure you stretch a lot, because his sphincter has probably tightened over the last few months, seeing as he was on nothing but liquids for the first four weeks.” Aiden nodded seriously—it was all good advice—and then he turned to the PT, who was hiding a smirk behind her hand. “What?” he challenged, and she shook her head. “Nothing! I swear!” She let a giggle sneak out. “I was just remembering what it was like to be under thirty, that’s all.” Suddenly her demeanor turned sober. “And seriously? No hands and knees. On his back, and go easy on the shoulder. Nothing strenuous—like the doc said, go easy.

  • Amy Lane Quote #9

    He leaned forward then and put his face in the crook of my neck, so he could smell the warmth rising from it. His nose touched my skin, just enough to make me shiver.

    When he spoke again, it was right next to my ear, and his voice was deep, and his breath moved the fine hairs on my ear, starting a vibration deep within my eardrum. “But that smell, right there,” He murmured, “That smell is all you. I love that smell too. I want to wear that smell on my skin and roll around in it. I want to live in that smell alone.

  • Amy Lane Quote #10

    He'd always known that shit rolled downhill, but he never knew tears did the same thing.

  • Amy Lane Quote #11

    He's MINE, I howled. Mine! And I'm his! You knew this when you slunk into our bed. I told you at the beginning, and I thought you understood, well, you understand now, don't you?
    He had the nerve to extend a placating hand to me, and I wished so violently for a weapon, I were not surprised to hear the clatter of a knife falling out of the cupboard.
    I turned my head to the side and spat instead. I told you 'no', dammit. I told you I'd follow him to the ends of the fucking earth, and I will, and you thought that if you took him, you'd take the way I felt. Well, you can't! Hammer and me - we're twined together, like rose bushes or wrought iron, and you can't untangle us, and if you did, you'd have to break us! Don't you see what you've done? You tried to break Hammer! He's mine! My whole life, the only thing I ever wanted were him, and you tried to break him! And why? So you could have me? You don't care for me!

  • Amy Lane Quote #12

    Honestly—who puts a hamburger next to diet tofu curry unless they’re trying to buy your soul?

  • Amy Lane Quote #13

    hope could betray you—but if you had no hope, life could actually
    surprise you in the best of ways.

  • Amy Lane Quote #14

    I blew through her like baby’s breath through a dandelion, and my soul
    left its mark on hers. Forever. In one night, I’d bound her too me for as long
    as she lived, and I had no words to tell her.

    When I woke the next night, to see her there, above me, the relief radiating
    from every line of her body, I thought it was more of a miracle than my
    first rising.

  • Amy Lane Quote #15

    I know these are only dreams. I know these days are long past. I wake to a dream in which Hammer’s breath has stopped, and mine with it, and hearts have gone to a quiet sunny meadow with the sweetest little cottage in the middle, with a millwheel and a stream. Our bodies will lie tangled until they become earth, like roses twining so closely there is no beginning and no end, and only the shades of beauty that were their growing.
    Every dream I ever had as a child has come true, simply because Hammer loved me. Perhaps this one will too.

  • Amy Lane Quote #16

    I looked at Adrian’s eyes, beautiful, mesmerizing. Not human. I didn’t feel
    lonely at all. “You’ll take me places?” I asked. His answer was important, even
    though my decision was already made.
    “You can’t imagine where we’ll go.” He said, sincerely.

  • Amy Lane Quote #17

    I tried very hard not to ponder the horrible irony that I was too ugly to love, and too ugly not to violate.

  • Amy Lane Quote #18

    I was asleep for almost ten years. And then this big goober with all these fucking weird animals moved into my house, and I was suddenly awake.

  • Amy Lane Quote #19

    I was terrified of my weakness, of my sharp tongue, of
    my every flaw. I was terrified that this moment, my chance to
    live in happiness for however short a time we may have had,
    would be ruined because I was simply not carved out of the
    same wood as happiness, and that my grain was too twisted
    to ever take its form.

  • Amy Lane Quote #20

    I will love you forever,” I murmured, and he stroked the hair off of my forehead.
    I will hold you to that.” His face was grim and his voice was sober—he
    touched my handprint of chaos as he said it, and I knew in my bones that it was a solemn vow, and not a sweet or a kind offering of love at all. Green would make me live if he had to crack the foundations of the world.

  • Amy Lane Quote #21

    I’ve loved him since I’ve known him, Mrs. Daniels. He just finally stopped fighting.

  • Amy Lane Quote #22

    If it feels good, enjoy it. If it doesn’t, adjust your position until it does.

  • Amy Lane Quote #23

    If you cannot see the fineness in my Hammer, you'd best look at him with better eyes.

  • Amy Lane Quote #24

    It looks like two alpacas fucking, mostly, he said apologetically. Of course, sometimes, the boy can't get his boy parts past the girl's furry ass, and he needs a little help, so then it looks like two alpacas fucking while their handler's giving the one on top a handjob.

  • Amy Lane Quote #25

    It takes a truly great man to see that he’s been wrong and to apologize for it, even in the face of the obvious.

  • Amy Lane Quote #26

    Krissa, tough Lady Krissa, who had stood by impassively while Areau vomited out ten years of bitter addiction, wiped her eyes and offered Areau Mrs. Wrinkle’s pie in comfort, and it suddenly occurred to Areau in the strangest, most dreamlike of ways, that his pain was not the only pain on the planet.

  • Amy Lane Quote #27

    My knitting is simple, he said again. Ï can make anything you want with it, but it will always be simple.

  • Amy Lane Quote #28

    Oh—and you need to work on making my opinion more important than Josh’s, too. I know it’s a stretch—he’s your most intimate relationship to date, but when you’re balls deep in my ass, I’d prefer you not be wondering if it counts as a workout.

  • Amy Lane Quote #29

    Okay. Some things were made of hope. But not this thing. This thing he was doing, that was made of surrender.

    He did it anyway. At least when you surrendered, you had time to kiss the people you loved good-bye.

  • Amy Lane Quote #30

    Rico laughed a little, feeling helpless. Is your life always this...I don't know-

    Tide of chaos washing ashore on the beach of what the fuck? Yesh.
