I'll remind you of that someday , Maura says. when you're married to a man who once looked into your eyes and promised to forsake all others. I'll remind of that after you've just had his baby and you have postpartum depression and feel as fat as cow and you are pumping milk into a plastic containers in the middle of the night while he's running around with some twenty-two-years old named Lissette. I'll remind you of that.
Maura to Jess. ~ Emily Giffin
Maura quotes by Emily Giffin
So I take it you and Gansey get along, then?" Maura's expression was annoyingly knowing.
"Mom."
"Orla told me about his muscle car," Maura continued. Her voice was still angry and artificially bright. The fact that Blue was well aware that she'd earned it made the sting of it even worse. "You aren't planning on kissing him, are you?"
"Mom, that will never happen," Blue assured her. "You did meet him, didn't you?"
"I wasn't sure if driving an old, loud Camaro was the male equivalent of shredding your T-shirts and gluing cardboard trees to your bedroom walls."
"Trust me," Blue said. "Gansey and I are nothing like each other. And they aren't cardboard. They're repurposed canvas."
"The environment breathes a sigh of relief." Maura attempted another sip of her drink; wrinkling her nose, she shot a glare at Persephone. Persephone looked martyred. After a pause, Maura noted, in a slightly softer voice, "I'm not entirely happy about you're getting in a car without air bags."
"Our car doesn't have air bags," Blue pointed out.
Maura picked a long strand of Persephone's hair from the rim of her glass. "Yes, but you always take your bike."
Blue stood up. She suspected that the green fuzz of the sofa was now adhered to the back of her leggings. "Can I go now? Am I in trouble?"
"You are in trouble. I told you to stay away from him and you didn't," Maura said. "I just haven't decided what to do about it yet. My feelings are hurt. I've consul ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
I have so many insecurities they fight for prominence. ~ Maura Tierney
Maura quotes by Maura Tierney
This is what you get, Maura, for using your DNA to make a baby. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Craft can be practiced by anyone, regardless of the skill or artistry that has come to be demanded by those who preach craft. Like a good meal, a good Crafternoon shouldn't need much - a few quality ingredients, a couple of good friends, and a little bit of creativity. ~ Maura Madden
Maura quotes by Maura Madden
My answer to a lot of things is to go to work. That's not everybody's answer. ~ Maura Tierney
Maura quotes by Maura Tierney
His eyes traced the elegant line of her neck as she swiveled around to face him, her eyes sparking like collapsed stars swallowing up the surrounding light. She was a dark star, a black hole in the endless sky, and if he got too close, he would surely disappear. He knew all this, but even then, he couldn't turn away from her. ~ Maura Milan
Maura quotes by Maura Milan
I think of myself as a fairly logical, scientific and somewhat reserved person. Maura Isles, the Boston medical examiner who appears in five of my books, is me. Almost everything I use in describing her, from her taste in wine to her biographical data, is taken from my own family. Except I don't have a serial killer as a mother! ~ Tess Gerritsen
Maura quotes by Tess Gerritsen
I'm not really the nurturer type. ~ Maura Tierney
Maura quotes by Maura Tierney
It was funny, the Gray Man thought, how humorous she always appeared, how that smile was always just a moment away from her lips. You really didn't see the sadness or the longing unless you already knew it was there. But that was the trick, wasn't it? Everyone had their disappointment and their baggage; only, some people carried it in their inside pockets and not on their backs. And here was the other trick: Maura was not faking her happiness. She was both very happy and very sad. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
The squid are leaving, Maura… ~ Stephen Baxter
Maura quotes by Stephen Baxter
One definition of genius is the ability to make connections that other people don't make. That ability to make connections - true learning - happens at quiet times. ~ Maura Nevel Thomas
Maura quotes by Maura Nevel Thomas
What do you want?' Maura asked. 'Not out of college. Out of life.'
Blue swallowed the truth once, because she was ready to move from crisis to crying to solutions and stability. Then she said the truth slowly and carefully, so that it would be manageable. 'What I always wanted. To see the world. To make it better. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
What happened to your face?" Blue asked.
Adam shrugged ruefully. Either he or Ronan smelled like a parking garage. His voice was self-deprecating. "Do you think it makes me look tougher?"
What it did was make him look more fragile and dirty, somehow, like a teacup unearthed from the soil, but Blue didn't say that.
Ronan said, "It makes you look like a loser."
"Ronan," said Gansey.
"I need everyone to sit down!" shouted Maura. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Ah, Maura, ye were right," he whispered. "All those years ago ye were right."
Alexander leaned forward, and Lochiel waved his hand in a dismissing gesture. "'Tis naught but somethin' Maura said tae me on our weddin' night. She said we Highlanders possess the pride o' lions. Like lions, we nae fear tae temper our actions, only pride tae govern them. ~ Marsha Canham
Maura quotes by Marsha Canham
I'm good," she replied. "But thanks. My mother didn't raise me to be violent."
"Neither," observed the Gray Man, "did mine."
He ate his broccoli and butter and bacon, and Maura ate her butter, and Calla ate her bacon. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Something strange and chemical was happening to the Gray Man. Once, he'd been stabbed with a screwdriver - Phillips head, bright blue handle - and falling in love with Maura Sargent was exactly the same. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Then she smiled as if the woman had already helped her. If there was one thing Blue had learned while being a waitress and dog walker and Maura Sargent's daughter, it was that people generally became the kind of person you expected them to be. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Vincent doesn't like seeing Maura upset, and well, it's hard for her not to be upset when I'm around." "Can't say I'm surprised," Vito said. "She's Vincent's weakness. If he doesn't learn to control that, he'll get her killed." "Antonio says it's the other way around." "I don't often disagree with the Boss, but nah ... her blood will be on Vincent's hands someday. ~ J.M. Darhower
Maura quotes by J.M. Darhower
I am the ship in which you sail,
little dancing bones ~ Maura Dooley
Maura quotes by Maura Dooley
Both Blue and Mr. Gray enjoyed a laugh, and then were briefly silent as they realized it had been too long since they had been in the company of someone with their precise sense of humor, i.e., Maura Sargent. In the background, the Kinks played gently, the sound of Mr. Gray's soul. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
He watched with an attentiveness both polite and flattering as Maura scraped her cards up from the sofa cushions. He leaned to pick up one she had missed.
"This fellow looks unhappy," he observed. The art depicted a man stuck with ten swords. The victim lay on his face, as most people did after being stuck with ten swords.
"That's a fellow after Calla's done with him," Maura said. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
I don't have much patience with sick people. ~ Maura Tierney
Maura quotes by Maura Tierney
Gansey took a drink of his healing tea. Maura's chin jutted as she observed the lump of it heading down his throat. His face remained precisely the same and he said absolutely nothing, but after a moment, he made a gentle fist of his hand and thumped his breastbone. "What did you say that was good for?" he asked politely. His voice was a little odd until he cleared his throat. "General wellness," Maura said. "Also, it's supposed to manage dreams." "My dreams?" he asked. Maura raised a very knowing eyebrow. "Who else's would you be managing?" "Mm." "Also, it helps with legal matters." Gansey had been swallowing as much of his fancy coffee as he could possibly manage without breathing, but he stopped and put the bottle on the table with a clink. "Do I need help with legal matters?" Maura shrugged. "Ask a psychic. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Do you love him?" Maura asked curiously.
"I'd rather not," Blue replied. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
OK," Blue said hurriedly. "I'm out."
"You could at least say sorry," Maura said. "Pretend like I have some power over you."
Blue wasn't sure how to reply to this. Maura had all sorts of control of Blue, but it wasn't usually the sort that came with ultimatums or curfew. So she just said, "I'm sorry. I should've told you I was going to do what you didn't want me to do."
Maura said, "That was not as satisfying as I imagined it would be. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
I've been misquoted a lot, and there's this tendency for people to put on to you how they think you should be or what they think you should feel. ~ Maura Tierney
Maura quotes by Maura Tierney
Those redshift numbers. The cephalopods must be leaving at close to light speed."
"Where do you think they are going?"
"Maybe that isn't the point, Maura. Maybe the point is what they are trying to flee. ~ Stephen Baxter
Maura quotes by Stephen Baxter
Suddenly I realized we must take care of things just because they exist. ~ Maura O'Halloran
Maura quotes by Maura O'Halloran
Crafternoon is about making what you want, how you want it, to the best of your ability. And even if you may not think of yourself as a rock star of creativity, it's there inside you. At Crafternoon, you are a CraftStar. ~ Maura Madden
Maura quotes by Maura Madden
If you have a tendency to find yourself in MacGyveresque situations, go ahead and choose a synthetic rope to craft with. I don't want you cursing my name as you hang from a cliff by your swiftly fraying Monkey's Fist necklace. ~ Maura Madden
Maura quotes by Maura Madden
Does he think it's so easy? One smile, one touch and all is forgiven -Dr Maura Isles ~ Tess Gerritsen
Maura quotes by Tess Gerritsen
Unfortunately in life, justice is not always achieved. ~ Maura Tierney
Maura quotes by Maura Tierney
Read books. As often as you can. Mostly classics. ~ Maura Kelly
Maura quotes by Maura Kelly
What made me want to be on it was reading a really good script, and being compelled by and attracted to the characters. I really loved Maura Isles, who was very fascinating to me. ~ Sasha Alexander
Maura quotes by Sasha Alexander
Sometimes you need to take a nap and get over it. ~ Maura Stuard
Maura quotes by Maura Stuard
I was never very good at math and science, to be honest, so it's fun to play a character that is so scientific and mathematical, and whose brain functions at such a high pace. The biggest difference is that Maura is very linear in her thinking and very logical. I'm not quite like that. I'm much more laid back and not quite so type A. That's the big difference. ~ Sasha Alexander
Maura quotes by Sasha Alexander
When we were trying to find the woman to play Maura Isles, it was a no-brainer when Sasha came in. We just knew it was her, and she did such a fantastic job. She got the job, right then and there, in the room, and it was great. We actually played a little joke on her. She's a great lady and we've had a really, really fantastic time. ~ Angie Harmon
Maura quotes by Angie Harmon
It didn't last long. Not many good things in a foster kid's life last long. One day, Maura was gone. Her few things were packed in paper bags and a tearful Miss Louisa carried her out to Miss Hanrahan's black state-owned Ford sedan with the state emblem on the door, and she was gone. The state had found a foster home that would take a little girl but couldn't take the rest of us. There were no long goodbyes. She was just gone. I remember having an enormous sense of helplessness when they took her. Maura didn't know where she were going or long she would be there. She was just gone ~ John William Tuohy
Maura quotes by John William Tuohy
Countries are forged by war; perhaps girls are, too. New England and I will be reborn together in this war between the witches and the Brothers. Between Maura and me.
I am newly wrought
a girl of steel and snow and heartrending good-byes.
My magic is renewed by my heartbreak. It spills out my fingertips, swirling around me. The wind picks up, bitter cold now. The rain turns abruptly to snow, haloing the gas streetlamps like iron angels. Enormous snowflakes begin to fall
fast, faster
obscuring my sister, hiding her and Brenna and the carriage and the gray stone building that has become my home.
I am all alone in a sea of whirling white.
It feels right that it should be so. ~ Jessica Spotswood
Maura quotes by Jessica Spotswood
Once renunciation and the awakened mind have been fully realized, the way to Buddhahood is clear. Liberation is complete and such liberated beings are then Bodhisattvas and Buddhas: "enlightened ones," or "empty dwellers." Their usefulness to others both before and after their physical death, is impossible to conceive. They are nothing but useful energy leading to liberation for all beings still caught in conditioned existence. ~ Maura O'Halloran
Maura quotes by Maura O'Halloran
Perhaps I run in straight circles ~ Maura Stone
Maura quotes by Maura Stone
When Maura opened the door of 300 Fox Way, she found the Gray Man standing pensively on the other side. He had brought her two things: a daisy-chain crown, which he somberly placed on her head, and a pink switchblade, which he handed to her. Both had taken some effort to procure. The first because the Gray Man had forgotten how to efficiently link daisies and the second because switchblades were illegal in Virginia, even if they were pink. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
P.P.P.P.S. Don't wake the third sleeper. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Do you know, it's really hard to be a parent. I blame it on Santa Claus. You spend so long making sure your kid doesn't know he's fake that you can't tell when you're supposed to stop."
"Mom, I found you and Calla wrapping my presents when I was, like, six."
"It was a metaphor, Blue."
"A metaphor's supposed to clarify by providing an example. That didn't clarify."
"Do you know what I mean or not?"
"What you mean is that you're sorry you didn't tell me about Butternut."
Maura glowered at the door as if Calla stood behind it. "I wish you wouldn't call him that."
"If you'd been the one to tell me about him, then I wouldn't be using what Calla told me."
"Fair enough. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
It could kill you, Maura said.
Then there was the awkward moment that arrives when two thirds of the people in the room know that the other third is supposed to die in fewer than nine months, and the person who is meant to die is not one of the ones in the know. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
The best-case scenario here is that you make friends with a boy who's going to die."
"Ah," said Calla, in a very, very knowing way. "Now I see."
"Don't psychoanalyse me," her mother said.
"I already have. And I say again, 'ah'. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
What did you see?" Blue asked. "How did he die?"
Neeve didn't take her eyes off Maura. "I saw him. And then he disappeared. Into absolutely nothing. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
You can't just take care of everybody else all the time. ~ Maura Tierney
Maura quotes by Maura Tierney
I tend to focus on what I'm doing at the moment, and that takes up the entire span of my focus. ~ Maura Tierney
Maura quotes by Maura Tierney
A poor childhood in West Virginia had left Maura with a strong sense of self-reliance, a high tolerance for discomfort, and a black sense of humor. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Then Maura made something with butter and Calla made something with bacon and Blue steamed broccoli in self-defense. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Okay," Maura said from the doorway, rubbing her forehead with her fingers. "There are a few things going on here, obviously. Someone just tried to kill you." This was to Gansey. "You two are telling me that your friend was killed by the man who just tried to kill him." This was to Ronan and Adam. "You three are telling me that Neeve had a phone call with the man who killed your friend and just now tried to kill Gansey." This was to Blue, Persephone, and Calla. "And you're telling me that you've had nothing to do with him since that phone call. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
I was very compelled by a woman who would choose this profession. She [Maura Isles] came from a very highly-educated, wealthy background and could have chosen to do a lot of other things, and has this uber-feminine, modern woman mentality, but works this job. ~ Sasha Alexander
Maura quotes by Sasha Alexander
Being bald is no fun. ~ Maura Tierney
Maura quotes by Maura Tierney
Maura looks stunned, as though she's been slapped. "What about me? Don't you trust me?" She gives a hysterical little laugh. Tears are gathering in her blue eyes. "Let me guess: you think I'm reckless. 'Too easily ruled by my emotions,' Elena said. As though feeling things too deeply
wanting more for myself and girls like us
is so terrible! ~ Jessica Spotswood
Maura quotes by Jessica Spotswood
Are you really going to work in that?" Maura asked.
Blue looked at her clothing. It involved a few thin layering shirts, including one she had altered using a method called shredding. "What's wrong with it?"
Maura shrugged. "Nothing. I always wanted an eccentric daughter. I just never realised how well my evil plans were working. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Drugs?"
"Rituals. Are you messing around with drugs?"
"No. But maybe rituals."
"Drugs might be better. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
It's a life-changing thing to be in a position of needing help and being so lucky as to get it. ~ Maura Tierney
Maura quotes by Maura Tierney
I remember just how afraid I was. I was just as much afraid of the treatment as the diagnosis. So I thought I could talk about it in an authentic way. ~ Maura Tierney
Maura quotes by Maura Tierney
History was an examination of the past, but there was no hope in the past, only sadness and despair. All she wanted to do was look ahead where the future was bright and blinding. And hers. ~ Maura Milan
Maura quotes by Maura Milan
We don't choose whom we love," he told Maura, so gently that she knew he knew. If she wasn't going to be loved in return, she would have liked not to be pitied for it. She got neither of these wishes. "But people have this advantage over swans, to put their unwise loves aside and love another. Not me. I'm too much swan for that. ~ Karen Joy Fowler
Maura quotes by Karen Joy Fowler
We're all struggling to stay upright, Maura thought. Resisting the pull of temptation,just as we fight the pull of gravity. And when we finally fall, it's always such a surprise. ~ Tess Gerritsen
Maura quotes by Tess Gerritsen
After she returned and the Gray Man had been encouraged to sit down on the worn couch, Maura said, "I'll warn you that if you try anything, Calla has Mace."
By way of demonstration, Calla handed him his drink and then removed a small black container of pepper spray from her small red purse.
Maura gestured toward the third member of their group. "And Persephone is Russian."
"Estonian," Persephone correctly softly.
"And" - Maura made an extremely convincing fist - "I know how to punch a man's nose into his brain."
"What a coincidence," the Gray Man said genially. "So do I. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Maura: is there anything you want to tell me?
me: yeah. I want to tell you that my third nipple is lactating and my butt cheeks are threatening to unionize. what do you think I should do about it?
maura: I feel you're not telling me something. ~ David Levithan
Maura quotes by David Levithan
If she was going down, she was going to do it one way and one way alone.
Gloriously. ~ Maura Milan
Maura quotes by Maura Milan
In a man, I like funny guys. A guy who doesn't have a lot of therapy, who's mature. A man, not a boy. ~ Maura Tierney
Maura quotes by Maura Tierney
What do I do?" Blue asked cannily. What have you guys seen me doing?"
"Traveling," Maura replied. "Changing the world."
"Trees in your eyes," Calla added, more gently than usual. "Stars in your heart. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
In this case, Jane and Maura don't always agree on how to go about solving something. They both are very different in their approach and, a lot of times, that can lead to potential conflict, and then a debate in figuring out who and what is the right way to do it. ~ Sasha Alexander
Maura quotes by Sasha Alexander
Well," Maura asked. "What does he want?"
Blue shrugged from behind her mountain of broccoli. "What does a drug addict want? Nothing."
Maura frowned over her plate of butter. "Sometimes everything."
"Either way," Blue replied, "I can't see how we can offer that."
The Gray Man politely interjected, "I could talk to him this evening for you."
Blue stabbed a piece of broccoli. "Sounds great."
Maura gave her a look. "What she means to say is, no thanks."
"No," Blue said, brows beetled, " I meant to say, and can you make him feel worthless while you do?"
"Blue Sargent!" Maura looked shocked. "I didn't raise you to be violent!"
Calla, who'd inhaled some bacon while laughing, clutched the table until she stopped choking.
"No," Blue said dangerously. "But sometimes bad things happen to good children."
The Gray Man was amused. "The offer still stands until I go. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
There is something really wrong with those boys. When your mother says don't walk in front of a bus, she has a good reason."
From the kitchen, Persephone's soft voice called, "If someone had stopped you from walking in front of a bus, Maura, Blue wouldn't be here. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
FBI Girl is touching and funny, inspiring and tragic, enlightening and sad. I closed the book with tears in my eyes and admiration in my heart for the girl Maura Conlon was and the writer she became. ~ Beverly Donofrio
Maura quotes by Beverly Donofrio
Maura: i am isaac, will.
me: don't be stupid. he's a guy.
maura: no he's not. he's a profile. i made him up.
me: yeah, right.
maura: i did.

me: what?

maura: isaac doesn't exist. he's never existed. ~ David Levithan
Maura quotes by David Levithan
a Dr. Mikovitz. He says you left a message this morning with one of his colleagues." "Oh, of course." Maura picked up the phone. "This is Dr. Isles." Jane turned her gaze back to the X ray, to those three parallel nicks on the cheekbones. She tried to imagine what could have left such a mark. It was a tool that neither she nor Maura had encountered before. ~ Tess Gerritsen
Maura quotes by Tess Gerritsen
If you don't tell me not to see them, I don't have to disobey you," Blue suggested.
"That is what you get, Maura, for using your DNA to make a baby," Calla said. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Nice work," I said, alluding to her nails. "Maura, at The Hair Palace, does them. She's a genius with nails, and she'll bikini wax you till you're bald as a billiard ball. ~ Janet Evanovich
Maura quotes by Janet Evanovich
I wish I had a little more joy of cooking - because mostly I have anxiety of cooking. I'm so proud when things come out well. ~ Maura Tierney
Maura quotes by Maura Tierney
I love Martin Amis. ~ Maura Tierney
Maura quotes by Maura Tierney
Maura had decided sometime before Blue's birth that it was barbaric to order children about, and so Blue had grown up surrounded by imperative question marks. ~ Maggie Stiefvater
Maura quotes by Maggie Stiefvater
Calla found him spineless (she was not wrong). Maura thought him misunderstood (she was not wrong). Jimi reckoned he had the longest nose of any man she'd ever seen (she was not wrong). Orla didn't believe barricading oneself in a supply closet was a sufficient protection against a psychic who hated you (she was not wrong). Gwenllian was, in fact, the psychic who hated him (she was not wrong). ~ Maggie Stiefvater
