3: A burning woman stalks the streets.

4: You see, I had this space suit. (Have Spacesuit, Will Travel - Robert Heinlein, [livejournal.com profile] rollick)

5: I've watched through his eyes, I've listened through his ears, and I tell you he's the one. (Ender's Game, Orson Scott Card, [livejournal.com profile] tylik)

6: Part of the problem, Nita thought to herself as she tore desperately down Rose Avenue, is that I can't keep my mouth shut. (So You Want To Be A Wizard, Diane Duane, [livejournal.com profile] damiana_swan)

10: Let's set the existence-of-God issue aside for a later volume, and just stipulate that in some way, self-replicating organisms came into existence on this planet and immediately began trying to get ride of each other, either by spamming their environments with rought copies of themselves, or by more direct means which hardly need to be belabored.
