In their heyday, the Pet Shop Boys were the Interpol of the Eighties, dressing up to sing really weird pop songs about lust and loneliness in the big city.

Hannah Fry

An adventure is somebody else slogging through the mud and snow while suffering from trench foot, ringworm, dysentery and starvation, being chased by people with their hearts set on murder or more.

Glen Cook

I know what Claire is. You know I know it. I told you the first minute I met you. But did you ever stop to think it's all worth it to me?

I'm not a habit to her. I'm not something she's tied to by any law. And every time she winds up coming back to me, you know what that proves. It proves I'm still the toughest man in the pack. Because she wouldn't stay if I wasn't.
