L.J. Smith: Going

“Katherine," he said. He was still smiling.
"Yes." She leaned closer.
"Katherine…"
"Yes, Damon?"
"Go to hell.”

“Dear Diary,
Oh, it's all too much to explain and you wouldn't believe it anyway. I'm going to bed.
Bonnie”

“The thing is- and I know this is going to sound strange-that I seem to love you sort of desperately”

“Feeling better?” he asked.
“As warm as chicken-apple soup.”
“I’m never going to hear the end of that, am I?”

“Ghouls weren't smart, but like the Energizer Bunny they kept going and going.”

“I'm going to kiss you… until you faint”

“And Meredith and Bonnie, who's going to bend some spoons for us next. I'm going to throw you down a rope… that is, unless Bonnie can levitate you out.”

“If you're going to be bad, be bad with a purpose or else you're not worth forgiving.”

“I'll go sleep on the couch," James said. "No, you won't," Poppy said firmly. She flopped on the bed beside him. "You're dead tired. And I know I'm safe with you." James grinned without moving his arm. "Because I'm dead tired?”

“Tell Hugh," she whispered.
Tell Hugh your freaking self! He's right here! And you're not going anywhere.”

“No, I'll dream another dream," he said. "I've made up so many things, now I'll just go into one. I'll be part of it.”

“Cliff said "damn" for me (I'm going to die). I didn't know he liked me enough to swear.”

“You can't just go out-
No, I'll dream another dream.”

“Poppy had known for years that she was going to marry him. It was one of her two great ambitions, the other being to see the world. She just hadn't gotten around to informing James yet.”

“I don't think you understand," he said. "I'm going to have you, at any cost. Any cost, Jenny, even if you have to suffer on the way. If I can't force you, I'll persuade you— and I can be very persuasive.”

“I can't go down there. They think I'm dead!
Oh, you've remembered that. Good for you.”

“And you know," Jeanne said, looking down at Sylvia with her hands on her hips, "that's how I want to go. Taking my own way out… and totally pissing everybody off at the end.”
