At his first sight of her, his breath was lost, his Lykae Instinct roaring to life within him. - Yours. Take her. - — Kresley Cole

Your email inbox is a bit like a Las Vegas roulette machine. You know, you just check it and check it, and every once in a while there's some juicy little tidbit of reward, like the three quarters that pop down on a one-armed bandit. And that keeps you coming back for more. — Douglas Rushkoff
