“So do boys and men announce their intentions. They cover you like a sarcophagus lid. And call it love.”

“Harry Dresden: Took cover. In the action business, when you don't want to say you ran like a mouse, you call it 'taking cover.”

“Anyone who calls it "sexual intercourse" can't possibly be interested in actually doing it. You might as well announce you're ready for lunch by proclaiming, "I'd like to do some masticating and enzyme secreting.”

“Men are like that sometimes - if they meet someone and fall in love, it's real, no matter how fast it happened. But if someone falls for a woman they happen to care about, all they do is question the man's intentions.”

“Call for the robin redbreast and the wren,
Since o'er shady groves they hover,
And with leaves and flowers do cover
The friendless bodies of unburied men.”

“Why don’t you call, you swine, and announce your approach!”

“Moments and eye-lids are like the lead.”

“You like him because he's a lost boy. Believe me, I've seen it happen before. But do you know what happens to girls who love lost boys? They become lost themselves. Without fail.”

“Boys think girls are like books, If the cover doesn't catch their eye they won't bother to read what's inside.”

“What must it be like, to have a boy like you so much he cries for you?”
