“I had a run in with Whitney Houston, or as I call her, "Cracky."”

“I have a cotillion event. Some yacht-club charity fundraiser thingy. Whitney is insisting, and Kit took her side.” Three wide smiles. “Oh shut up.”

“Pride had kept her running when love had betrayed her.”

“I had the sensation that I might always be running like this, that I would always have to run, and that I would always be able to run.”

“I don't call her my middle child, I call her my center child, Because the world revolves around her.”

“My stomach churned. The monster had mimicked Thalia perfectly. If I'd heard that voice in the dark, calling for help, I would've run straight toward it.”

“I wish I was a little bit taller
I wish I was a baller
I wish I had a girl who looked good, I would call her
I wish I had a rabbit in a hat with a bat, and a six four Impala.”

“Nobody run off with her,” Roscoe said. "She just run off with herself, I guess.”

“I owe her everything and I love her and I tell her these days, although every time I say it, it gets a little diluted. I think you run out of I love yous.”

“Abra was ready ere I called her name;
And though I called another, Abra came.”
