My Sweet Audrina, V.C. Andrews
"Bruce Volker had no history of mental illness before what happened. According to everyone who knew him, he couldn't even stand the sight of blood." "You're getting very mystical with people's lives," I say. "These aren't abstract ideas, they were actual human beings."
The Final Girl Support Group, by Grady Hendrix

"In the weeks we'd been thrown together that summer, our lives had scarcely touched, but we had crossed to the other bank. Where time stops and heaven reaches down to earth and gives us that ration of what is from birth divinely ours. We looked the other way. We spoke about everything but. But we've always known, and not saying anything now confirmed it all the more. We had found the stars, you and I. And this is given once only."
"The two of you get into position," said Will. "And don't kill each other until we have James."

Harding said, "Most of the big carnivores don't have strong jaws. The real power is in the neck musculature. The jaws just hold on, while they use the neck to twist and rip. But with a small creature like Dr. Malcolm, the animal would just shake him, and then toss him. "I'm afraid that's right," Malcolm said. "I doubt I'd have survived, except the big chap's heart wasn't in it. To tell the truth, he struck me as a rather clumsy attacker of anything less than an automobile or a small apartment building." "You think he attacked halfheartedly?" "It pains me to say it," Malcolm said, "but I don't honestly feel I had his full attention. He had mine, of course. But, then, he weighs eight tons. I don't."
Jurassic Park, Michael Crichton
