"What do you mean 'you need to kill us'?" Grover asked.
Meg scowled. "You can talk to it?"
"Well, yes," Grover said. "It's an animal."
"Why didn't you tell us what it was saying before now?" Meg asked.
"Because it was just yelling scree!" Grover said. "Now it's saying scree as in, it needs to kill us."
I tried to move my legs. They seemed to have turned into sacks of cement, which I found vaguely amusing. I could still move my arms and had some feeling in my chest, but I wasn't sure how long that would last.
"Perhaps ask the strix why it needs to kill us?" I suggested.
"Scree!" Grover said.
I was getting tired of the strix language. The bird replied in a series of squawks and clicks.
Meanwhile, out in the corridor, the other strixes shrieked and bashed against the net of plants. Black talons and gold beaks poked out, snapping tomatoes into pico de gallo.

#14. If you strut around like peacocks-I'm a De La Salle football player-you're going to struggle. Get that out of your heads.

We hold great people in esteem more for the qualities of their soul than for the qualities of their fortune. #Quote by Madeleine De Souvre, Marquise De ...

#32. Captain Jack, that volatile Modoc, seems to have been handled still more causally. After being hanged and buried, Jack was exhumed, embalmed, and exhibited at carnivals: admission ten cents. How many instances of such sensibility one chooses to catalogue may be limited by the amount of time spent turning over musty pages. During the seventeenth century, Robert Cavalier, Sieur de La Salle, came upon a wood plank near the ruins of Ft.

Within these houses there is, perhaps, the silence of the cloister, the barrenness of moors, the skeleton of ruins; life and movement are so stagnant there that a stranger might think them uninhabited, were it not that he encounters suddenly the pale, cold glance of a motionless person, whose half-monastic face peers beyond the window-casing at the sound of an unaccustomed step. #Quote by Honore De Balzac

#43. Poetry: Peacekeeper of the World
I declare poetry,
'Peacekeeper of the World!'
As our sentinel. she glides softly like a guided missile,
carries within words an alliteratively wide-ranging whistle,
she ride shotgun preserving the liberties of our fucked-up human race,
eliminating evil empires with ametaphor, a simile or elegant coup de grace. #Quote by Beryl Dov
