  • One forgets the fear of heights when one cannot fall

    C.E. Murphy (2007). “Heart of Stone”, p.237, LUNA
  • They're constants, aren't they?" ... "Books are. That's why we like them so much. They seem immutable. They're not, of course. Not from the author's first draft to the tenth printing, but they seem like it.

    C.E. Murphy (2010). “Heart of Stone”, p.169, Harlequin
  • Nobody who loved life and new experiences that much was ever going to get old, not really. Wiser and eventually dead, maybe, but not old.

    C.E. Murphy (2012). “Raven Calls”, p.32, Harlequin
  • Thank God genuine video phones hadn't been invented. I hadn't even grabbed a towel. Ford Prefect would despair of me.

    C.E. Murphy (2006). “Thunderbird Falls”, p.304, LUNA
  • Rita folded her arms around herself and peered up at me. “If you’d asked me three months ago I’d have said you were hitting the bottle too hard. But then I got stabbed and should have died, but instead a bunch of cops and ambulance people showed up because somebody who wasn’t even there sent them on ahead to save my life. If something like that happens to someone like me, you start to have a little faith in something bigger. I don’t know if I believe in magic or miracles all the time. But I believe in you, Detective Walker. I believe in you.

  • I suppose I knew on an intellectual level that graves weren't especially made for getting out of. I mean, you start with a hermetically sealed casket and then you dump six feet of dirt on top of it. Over time the earth gets compacted, which can't make it easy to dig through. So even if you're a very angry and determined zombie, you've kind of got your work cut out for you just escaping from the grave.

    C.E. Murphy (2009). “Walking Dead”, p.253, Harlequin
  • She hissed, right there behind my ear, and I had the horrible idea she was spitting maggots into my hair. Why maggots were a problem when I was about to be dead, I didn’t know, but the idea completely grossed me out. “In the womb I heard you die, for no one lives when a banshee cries.” I wasn’t just going to die. I was going to be rhymed to death. That simply wasn’t fair.

  • Why do airline pilots always call passengers "folks"? I don't usually take umbrage at generic terminology--I'm one of those forward-thinkers who believes that "man" encompasses the whole darned race -- but at whatever 0'clock in the mornning. I thought it would be nice to be called sometihng that suggested unwashed masses a little less.

  • She had a body that even I coveted in a strictly Platonic sense.

    C.E. Murphy (2009). “Walking Dead”, p.9, Harlequin
  • start with one true thing

    C.E. Murphy (2009). “Urban Shaman”, p.286, LUNA
  • Logic was puny in the face of my wrath. Logic was puny and magic was mighty: I had just gotten rebirthed, refilled and renewed, and was fast on my way to resentful.

    C.E. Murphy (2012). “Raven Calls”, p.132, Harlequin
  • I'm not a goddamned faith healer! I don't talk to God! I'm a mechanic and her goddamned engine was broken! --Joanne

  • friends don't threaten friends' distributor caps

    C.E. Murphy (2009). “Urban Shaman”, p.80, LUNA
  • To my embarrassment, I was crying again. Real girl tears for the second time, these ones born out of frustration. That didn't happen to me very often, but I hated it when it did. It was faulty wiring in the female body, tear ducts attached directly to the frustration meter. Trying to explain to men that no, I wasn't being manipulative, I just couldn't stop my eyes from leaking salt water, only added to the aggravation.

    C.E. Murphy (2010). “Demon Hunts”, p.151, LUNA
  • Don’t be sorry. Be good. Be right. Be a hero.

    C.E. Murphy (2012). “Raven Calls”, p.318, LUNA
  • Music, unleashed, can uplift and create and destroy, stripping away pretenses and leaving raw, exposed vulnerability behind.

    C.E. Murphy (2010). “Truthseeker”, p.42, Del Rey
