“I could taste the salt on her lips, each kiss like a summer wave breaking on an empty beach.” ― Michael Faudet

 "The man once wrote: Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards, for they are subtle and quick to anger. Tolkien had that one mostly right.

I stepped forward, let the door bang closed, and snarled, "Fuck subtle."

— Jim Butcher (Changes (The Dresden Files)
