Someone suggested this to me, but since he didn't post it, I'm going to. This is a place to leave sentences from your novel and let other people borrow them, as well as other people leaving theirs for you to borrow.
I'll start us off with a few:
"I can tell the difference between a live human and a dead human, thank you very much!"
"It doesn't exactly come with an instruction manual."
"I'm bored with being a prince," he declared. "I think I'll quit."
The house proceeded to explode.

Here are some from mine, which probably aren't worth snagging, but I'm procrastinating on an English essay right now.

My sentence:
I mean, Heckuvajob Brownie is definitely bizarre, but a normal America in the 2000s kind of bizarre; it’s a nice change.
