1. Life is a series of moments, not regrets.
2. The problem with humans in the Pegasus Galaxy boiled down to the fact they weren't human. Biology only buys you so much, and that's something they should have learned back on Earth.
3. It was a common story, a spaceship flung off course, its crew doomed to wander an alien galaxy alone... only that had been their goal, so Trish never really understood why every one complained.
4. The problem with being immortal was that you got really tired of death.
5. It was a stupid quest, but she had the afternoon off and she was tired of studying. "A rouge werewolf playing havoc with the fine citizenry of Venn Hall?" She flung the textbook onto the bed with an overly dramatic flourish. "Why lead on McFluff! I follow!"
The unicorn sighed and wondered for the umpteenth time if there wasn't a loophole in the contract he'd overlooked.
6. The pain wasn't like a knife, or like fire, or ice, or any of a thousand other metaphors. It was pain and it drowned out the world in a white flash of sensation.
7. "He made his choice."
"No he didn't. He made a mistake John, a simple stupid everyday mistake. You made a choice."
