“Too much truth in the hands of a liar is more dangerous than a world of lies told to the truthful. When people like The Dread are mostly honest, they’re more deadly.”

"I mean--boingy-boing--you single-handedly caught The Dread.  Why would you suddenly turn foul on us?  How stupid can they be?" 

"I cheat!  Let me show you my back patio, it's the secret to my success with plants."

"I'd imagine all sorts of foolish articles will post about me--how I hate noble billies. They'll claim the most absurd things..." 

"Not so fast.  I know you. You're full of tricks. The moment I turn my back, you'll disappear for another three months." 

 "...how many trees need to fall before it's not just the wind?"

"Why be mad when you can choose to be happy?" 

"My goodness, son!  The word's not Dossum!" 

"As you can all see, I'm a fortunate man indeed..." 

"Quiet as a mouse.  What would he have been shouting about?" 

"Look ad you self, puny, ugly worm!" 

"I'd like strawberry jam on my toast."

"I guess that's what you get for sleeping in.  You're a link left out of the chain." 

"I'm serious about bad luck. It's funny until it happens to you..." 

 "Show them you're a Chantolli, my boy!  Show them!"

"They were busy helping Boot's mommy...or is that his girlfriend?"

"You putrid, loathing, degenerate snake!" 

"He does stuff like that....You ought to come back to Twistyard with us.  It's more fun being a Coosing now that Dod's around..." 

"Enjoy Driaxom.  I hope you live a long, long, long life!" 

 "I wouldn't quit the Coosings!  Sawb really stretched when he appointed me last year--my family, you know; we're not chauss or toting gold."
