Quote #7

Amy wasn't shy around them at all. She loved librarians. (8.72)

Amy's scared of a lot of things, but she feels at home in a library. To her, a library is a safe place; it's a place where she can have all sorts of adventures without actually going out into the world. She can explore without, you know, exploring.

Quote #8

"We have to explore the Catacombs." (15.39)

This trip isn't all about sunny locales and fancy French foods. Amy and Dan encounter some pretty scary and dangerous things as they explore the world. History has some dark secrets.

Quote #9

"Stop, mortals," Nellie translated. "This is the empire of death." (16.6)
