      "Some of us are. I won’t lie or pretend otherwise;     not to you, anyway - but the living have borne arms      against us longer than we have them.”

' but do you r e a l l y think taking that  will help your cause? because it's  not. it's only making you a target. '

        “ah, busy? i’ve been, busy with- stuff?     sorry, was it bad?”

' sounds legit. wouldn't know. i  was too busy eating people's  brains. '

     ' roarton drunks are much classier. don't       like seeing what  they  look  like. ----  are       you serious? you really don't know  what       pds is?  partially  deceased  syndrome?       the rising of 2009? where the  hell  have       you been? '

I think the important thing to remember is that In The Flesh never romanticises Kieren’s suicide. 

     ' not really. most'a them  stay in  here         chatting about the pds sufferers. not       really causing any  problems. i  also       wouldnt't know cause i can't  drink. '

      "Kieren, I don’t say anything that the other side doesn’t.     the idea that we should protect ourselves is the same     thing carried by the HVF or the Roarton Protection Service —     or whatever they’re calling themselves today. Except we     aren’t arming ourselves and patrolling borders.”

     ' yeah, you might not be arming yourselves        and patrolling borders -- but you're taking        blue oblivion. '

      “—oh, they never really seem to stop. And that all sounds      very trying, but it’s to be expected isn’t it? They’re not nice      spells that reanimate corpses. No, in fact they’re quite malevolent,      I’ve been told. Medicine’s amazing, to quell that sort of hostility.”

     ' no.  luna,  are  you  listening?  it  wasn't       magic. i  just..   i   woke   up   in   m'coffin.         i hadn't  seen  the  light  of  day  in  years.       i--.. never mind. i died to  get  away  from       this, and god knows why it was  me  that       had to come back, and not my granddad.       it hurts a little, the medicine -- but you       kinda get used to it.
