Richard Adams
Like every other creature on the face of the earth, Godfrey was, by birthright, a stupendous badass, albeit in the somewhat narrow technical sense that he could trace his ancestry back up a long line of slightly less highly evolved stupendous badasses to that first self-replicating gizmo---which, given the number and variety of its descendants, might justifiably be described as the most stupendous badass of all time. Everyone and everything that wasn't a stupendous badass was dead. Neal Stephenson
Stephenie Meyer quote: "Like a stalker. An obsessed stalker. An obsessed, vampire stalker"
Like a stalker. An obsessed stalker. An obsessed, vampire stalker Stephenie Meyer
