“I
was the Duff. And that was a good thing. Because anyone who didn't feel like
the Duff must not have friends. Every girl feels unattractive sometimes. Why
had it taken me so long to figure that out? Why had I been stressing over that
dumb word for so long when it was so simple? I should be proud to be the Duff.
Proud to have great friends who, in their minds, were my Duffs.”

“When
you get tired of worrying and mourning your horse and trying not to be afraid,
tell me and I'll do it for you a while so you can shut your eyes and sleep
peaceful.”

“A
wise parent humors the desire for independent action, so as to become the
friend and advisor when his absolute rule shall cease.”

“Da.
This is going very well already."
Thomas
barked out a laugh. "There are seven of us against the Red King and his
thirteen most powerful nobles, and it's going well?"
Mouse
sneezed.
"Eight,"
Thomas corrected himself. He rolled his eyes and said, "And the psycho
death faerie makes it nine."
"It
is like movie," Sanya said, nodding. "Dibs on Legolas."
"Are
you kidding?" Thomas said. "I'm obviously Legolas. You're . . ."
He squinted thoughtfully at Sanya and then at Martin. "Well. He's Boromir
and you're clearly Aragorn."
"Martin
is so dour, he is more like Gimli." Sanya pointed at Susan. "Her
sword is much more like Aragorn's."
"Aragorn
wishes he looked that good," countered Thomas.
"What
about Karrin?" Sanya asked.
"What--for
Gimli?" Thomas mused. "She is fairly--"
"Finish
that sentence, Raith, and we throw down," said Murphy in a calm, level
voice.
"Tough,"
Thomas said, his expression aggrieved. "I was going to say 'tough.' "
As
the discussion went on--with Molly's sponsorship, Mouse was lobbying to claim
Gimli on the basis of being the shortest, the stoutest, and the hairiest--
"Sanya,"
I said. "Who did I get cast as?"
"Sam,"
Sanya said.
I
blinked at him. "Not . . . Oh, for crying out loud, it was perfectly
obvious who I should have been."
Sanya
shrugged. "It was no contest. They gave Gandalf to your godmother. You got
Sam.”

know a real friend?
Someone
you know will look after your cat after you are gone.”

“No
matter how far you take it with your friends, whether you're fighting with them
or you hate them for two months, you just really need them, because they're the
ones who teach you the most about yourself.”

Piglet is so small that he slips into a pocket, where it is very comfortable to

“I've
loved him my whole life, and somewhere along the way, that love didn't change
but grew. It grew to fill the parts of me that I did not have when I was a
child. It grew with every new longing of my body and desire until there was not
a piece of me that did not love him. And when I look at him, there is no other
feeling in me.”
―
Laura Nowlin, If He Had Been With Me
“They'll
say you are bad
or
perhaps you are mad
or
at least you
should
stay undercover.
Your
mind must be bare
if
you would dare
to
think you can love
more
than one lover.”
―
David Rovics
