Pretty Tony Quotes

How do we deal with not just the acts of violence, but the extremist ideology that lies behind them?

"God, Caroline, I'm so ... " He stops, probably realizing that he doesn't have morning wood, "I don't have ... " He's actually pretty cute all sleepy. He laughs.

We need to give out portrayal of ourselves. Every non-Indian writer writes about 1860 to 1890 pretty much, and there is no non-Indian writer that can write movies about contemporary Indians.

register on her eyeballs and take up valuable memory space in her brain.

lipstick. Xerox smell. Everything's pretty new, she figures. ~ Neal Stephenson

When I feel clumsy or lost, I remind myself that nature, including me, was created by a a far wiser mind than mine.

How's going, Harpy?" He teased Harper like we were back in high school. Like he hadn't skipped out to go fight wildfires and left me naked in his bed. Like I hadn't had to sneak out before his mom found me… like I was just another girl on his rotating calendar.

Right then I was elated with a sense of how faithful God is to his promises; I was free, and I was smiling joyfully on a manure wagon.
