“My disinterest in your bullshit is so tangible you could make bricks out of it”

“Only one way to win when you're being chased by someone bigger and tougher than you. Turn straight around, punch their teeth out, and hope the gods are fond of you.”

“Maxilan, darling." Locke raised one eyebrow and smiled. "I knew you were driven, but I had no idea you could smoulder. Come, take me now! Jean won't mind; he'll avert his eyes like a gentleman.”

“Are you smarter than a pig, Locke?”
“On occasion,” said Locke. “There are contrary opinions.”

“Yeah, but if I don't start my nervous pacing now, I'll never have it all done in time.”

“If he had a bloody gash across his throat and a physiker was trying to sew it up, Lamora would steal the needle and thread and die laughing.”

“I'm not as reckless as I used to be. You know, when I was little.”

“I think piracy is a bit like drinking. You want to stay out all night doing it, you pay the price the next day.”

“I don’t need to be reminded that we’re up to our heads in dark water. I just want you boys to remember that we’re the gods-damned sharks.”

“[W]hen you find yourself face to face with one [Bondsmage], you bow and scrape and mind your 'sirs' and 'madams.'"

…

'Nice bird, asshole,' said Locke.”

“Congratulations! We’re reverse burglars, here to give you fifty gold solari!”

“You can knock down kingdoms on a whim. What you need is someone to make sure you don't get hit by a carriage when you cross the street.”

“But you didn't die."
"Clever lad, to deduce that from such slender evidence after living with me for just three years.”

“What thief does not fight to hold what he has?"

"One that has something better," said Locke.”

“In a fair fight, the don's man would almost certainly paint the walls with Locke and Calo's blood, so it stood to reason that this fight would have to be as unfair as possible.”

“I trust my points are noted… Very noted… Received, recognized, and duly considered with the utmost gravity. Sealed, notarized, and firmly imprinted upon my rational essence.”

“We may need to ready ourselves to repel boarders.” “With what? One stiletto and hurtful insinuations about their mothers?”

“They kissed for the sort of endless moment that only exists between lovers whose lips are still new territory to one another.”

“You’ll pardon me,” he finally said, “if the suggestion that the minuscule black turnip you call a heart is suddenly overflowing with generosity toward me leaves me wanting to arm myself and put my back against a wall.”

“I'm fit and I'm angry, and I'm obviously crazy. Anything could happen.”

“The only constant in the soul of man is inconstancy; anything and everything else can pass out of fashion--even something as utilitarian as a hill stuffed full of corpses.”

“This is where you and I are headed…. Look for us in history books and you'll find us in the margins. Look for us in legends and you might just find us celebrated”

“You’ve the presence of a mouse fart in a high wind. Stand aside, and try not to catch fire if I shed sparks of genius.”

“We have a new problem, fresh from the oven and hot as hell.”

“You’re ten pints of crazy in a one-pint glass.”

“Gentlemen Bastards." hissed Locke, "do not abandon one another, and we do not run when we owe vengeance.”

“The water caught the Falselight glimmer like layers of shifting, translucent mirrors and formed split-second works of art in the air, but men cursed it anyway, because it made their heads wet.”

“I keep asking myself," whispered Sabetha, giving Locke's arm a squeeze, "ARE we smarter than that woman's chicken?"

"At the moment, it's an open question," said Locke.”

“Justice is red.”
