Quotes 

• Alice Quinn : I'm stuck in this - this oily, disgusting cage, and I - I can't even fucking see. I can't do anything.

  Mayakovsky : On the contrary, you're finally in a position to do something interesting.

  Alice Quinn : Fuck you, what do you know?

  Mayakovsky : I know, as niffin, you care about nothing but your own mind, so congratulations, a perfect life with zero meaning. Now as human...

  Alice Quinn : Humans are weak pieces of shit.

  Mayakovsky : Do you know what magic is? Energy capable of making this shithole world one fractional speck less unbearable because we shits try so fucking hard, and that - that is not weakness. Believe me. You don't like this world? Good, you see its faults. It gives you focus and solitude to actually fix it.

• Mayakovsky : No one has ever brought niffin back to life. Many try, but all blaaagh

  [Makes various gagging noises] 

  Quentin Coldwater : We have something that no one else has ever had. We have Alice's shade. The meta-math has never added up before, but with this...

  Mayakovsky : Still tremendously bad idea.

  Julia Wicker : Fine, fuck him. He won't help us. We'll take it to Dean Fogg.

  Mayakovsky : With one morning fart, I release more magic than Henry Fogg has in his whole life.

• Alice Quinn : Why can't I do magic?

  Mayakovsky : You're newborn again. You must crawl then walk.
