Not exactly a Vlad quip, but I still find the "true, true salad flax" quote amazing. I also find this little interchange entertaining: "All right," said Morrolan. "I think we can accept that. So, what do we do?" "Kill them," said Aliera. Morrolan rolled his eyes. "Of course we're going to kill them." ... "Plans are over-rated," I said. "Let's just start killing things. If there's nothing else around, we can always kill each other." Max -- Be pretty if you are, Be witty if you can, But be cheerful if it kills you.
