  9. "After a while it sort of began to rain, which is to say that it was the kind of rain that never comes to a decision about whether it's actually raining or not.

  15. "Each person who ever was or is or will be has a song. It isn't a song that anybody else wrote. It has its own melody, it has its own words. Very few people get to sing their own song. Most of us fear that we cannot do it justice with our voices, or that our words are too foolish or too honest, or too odd. So people live their songs instead. Take Daisy, for example. Her song, which had been somewhere in the back of her head for most of her life, had a reassuring, marching sort of beat, and words that were about protecting the weak, and it had a chorus that began 'Evildoers beware!' and was thus much too silly ever to be sung out loud. She would hum it to herself sometimes though, in the shower, during the soapy bits. And that is, more or less, everything you need to know about Daisy. The rest is details." ~Neil Gaiman, Anansi Boys

Honestly, he couldn't be bothered. She'd only scream and have a heart attack and die, and then the damn Garden of Rest would get even more crowded than it already was." ~Neil Gaiman, Anansi Boys
  20. "On a schedule here, so I'll make it quick. This is not a bluff. This is a little thing we call bad cop/bad cop/bad cop/crazy primordial seriously bad cop." ~Wesley Wyndam-Pyce
  21. "Nobody's coming back right." ~Angel
  22. "I'd be disappointed if I came back and you had a boring story for me. 'Hey Cordelia, guess what I've been up to. Lots and lots of Sudoku.'
