Dare to ask, "Where is my novel too simple?"

We don't always get to choose what we love.

The world needed more fireworks- especially now that there was going to be a shortage of beautiful, useless things.

Sometimes you can’t choose what you love.

Your father always suspected that being pretty-minded is simply the natural state for most people. They want to be vapid and lazy and vain—Maddy glanced at Tally—and selfish. It only takes a twist to lock in that part of their personalities. He always thought that some people could think their way out of it.

Never bored on a hoverboard.

As one does a bear riding a bicycle. One sees it so rarely. (Spoken by Volger, on Deryn)
