"'I see through hourglass pupils and therefore I see time, as it affects all things. Even as I look at you now, Tanis,' the mage whispered, 'I see you dying, slowly, by inches. And so I see every living thing.'"

-Dragons of Autumn Twilight, page 25


"The sight filled the northern sky; the immensity of it was scarcely conceivable. As if from Heaven itself, great curtains of delicate light hung and trembled. Pale green and rose-pink, and as transparent as the most fragile fabric, and at the bottom edge a profound and fiery crimson like the fires of Hell, they swung and shimmered loosely with more grace than the most skillful dancer. Lyra thought she could even hear them: a vast distant whispering swish. In the evanescent delicacy she felt something as profound as she'd felt close to the bear. She was moved by it; it was so beautiful it was almost holy; she felt tears prick her eyes, and the tears splintered the light even further to prismatic rainbows."

-The Golden Compass, page 161


"It's like a game. Repetitive. Even a little tedious after more than twenty years.

But there are much worse games to play."

-Mockingjay, page 390


"I am as silent as death. Do this: Go to your bedroom. Your nice, safe, warm bedroom that's not a glass coffin behind a morgue door. Lie down on your bed not made of ice. Stick your fingers in your ears. Do you hear that? The pulse of life from your heart, the slow in-and-out from your lungs? Even when you are silent, even when you block out all noise, your body is still a cacophony of life. Mine is not. It is the silence that drives me mad. It is the silence that drives the nightmares to me."

-Across the Universe, page 32


"Great, green, saurian things surged and bellowed in the swamps below."

-Hyperion, page 3


"All was well, until one day they met a thunderstorm- more terrific than a thunderstorm, a thunder-battle. You know how terrific a really big thunderstorm can be down in the land and in a river-valley; especially at times when two great thunderstorms meet and clash. More terrible still are thunder and lightning in the mountains at night, when storms come up from East and West and make war. The lightning splinters on the peaks, and rocks shiver, and great crashes split the air and go rolling and tumbling into every cave and hollow; and the darkness is filled with overwhelming noise and sudden light."

-The Hobbit, page 55


"As their eyes became used to the dimness they could see a little way to either side in a sort of darkened green glimmer. Occasionally a slender beam of sun that had the luck to slip in through some opening in the leaves far above, and still more luck in not being caught in the tangled boughs and matted twigs beneath, stabbed down thin and bright before them. But this was seldom, and it soon ceased altogether."

-The Hobbit, page 123


"He opened the cabinet where the ammunition was kept and loaded six bullets into the chamber. He supposed that one would be enough, but who knew what might happen. After all, he had never killed himself before."

-The Map of Time, page 5


"Meggie's voice died away as if the wind had blown it from her lips."

-Inkheart, page 509


"Where was the chaos?"

-Nevermore, page 3


"Those whose numbers had been noted stood apart, abandoned by the whole world. Some were weeping in silence."

-Night, page 69


"The balmy days slid gently through May, and Ron seemed to be there at Harry’s shoulder every time he saw Ginny."

-Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, page 319


"This may be a fool's paradise, but it's paradise nonetheless."

-Life As We Knew It, page 335


"Without headlights, the world disappeared beyond the windshield."

-Cinder, page 327


"'Wait until morning,' he said. 'The world won't be safe tonight.'"

-Scarlet, page 340
