| 0ff8e42 | the way we eat represents our most profound engagement with the natural world. Daily, our eating turns nature into culture, transforming the body of the world into our bodies and minds. | Michael Pollan | ||
| 2de1980 | As I examine my life through this book, I can't help but wonder if my mother was right. Maybe I really was what I ate. And maybe if she'd let me eat a little more sugar, I'd have come out sweeter. | Jen Lancaster | ||
| 2136805 | And I know now that all the time I was trying to get out of the dust, the fact is, what I am, I am because of the dust. And what I am is good enough. Even for me. | Karen Hesse | ||
| 3e18f6d | I have not been able to discover whether there exists a precise French equivalent for the common Anglo-American expression 'killing time.' It's a very crass and breezy expression, when you ponder it for a moment, considering that time, after all, is killing us. | english-language french time | Christopher Hitchens | |
| ee2657e | If you want to stay in for the long haul, and lead a life that is free from illusions either propagated by you or embraced by you, then I suggest you learn to recognize and avoid the symptoms of the zealot and the person who knows he is right. For the dissenter, the skeptical mentality is at least as important as any armor of principle. | freethought skepticism | Christopher Hitchens | |
| 0237643 | Nobody is just anything... everyone is of equal value, regardless of their station | Tim LaHaye Jerry B. Jenkins | ||
| 0440036 | His heart; some long word at the heart. He is dying of a long word. | Evelyn Waugh | ||
| 5699f52 | You had every right to be afraid. But your bastard bitches were wrong. It won't be my son who destroys this pantheon. It is I! (Apollymi) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| b36ee36 | I've never met anyone who had a monkey for a friend before. (Maggie) I don't know. I think those two guys you were with would qualify as primates, but then, that's an insult to the primate and I don't want Marvin to get pissed at me. He has higher sensibilities, you know? (Wren) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| e32d9bd | Why do you have to make everyone hate you? (Talon) What? You want to be my friend now, Celt? If I clean up my act, will you be my buddy? (Zarek) You're such an asshole. (Talon) Yeah, but at least I know what I am. I have no pretensions. You don't know if you're a Druid, a Dark-Hunter, or a playboy. You lost yourself a long time ago in the dark hole where you buried the parts of you that once made you human. (Zarek) You are lecturing me on h.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 9733473 | I'm not putting my faith or life in anyone's hands. All that ever got me was screwed, and my ass is currently sore from it. (Wren) Nice imagery there, tiger. Graphic. Ever think of writing children's books? (Fury) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 4d3b3e9 | So, you're like Angel? (Amanda) You watch way too much television. Angel has a soul. I don't. (Kyrian) Now you're back to being scary again. (Amanda) Baby, you ain't seen scary yet. (Kyrian) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| b9a29ff | People are basically irritating. Myself included. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 2e6af5d | I want the honest truth about something. Could you really fight with someone who did as much damage to you as my father has done to me? (Urian) I subjected myself to the goddess who drugged me to the point I couldn't protect my sister and nephew the night they were brutally slaughtered, and they were the only two people in the universe who'd ever given two shits about me. Later that same day, she stood back and let her twin brother butcher .. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 62ca3cd | Fine. Let's begin with something even you can't screw up." - Death "Way to build up my crappy confidence there. You should volunteer for the suicide hotline." - Nick "What makes you think I don't?" - Death" | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 8a14603 | When you dance with the devil, you don't get to pick the tune. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| bc77e24 | Hey, aren't we forgetting something? (Savitar) Your dignity? (Takeshi) No, you have me confused with you again. Aren't you supposed to be training him? (Savitar) So you admit my superiority by deflecting my attention to the neophyte. (Takeshi) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| b6cf97c | Don't ask me any more questions, Keller. I'm just going to lie to you and I'd rather not have the stress of trying to remember what lie I handed you. (Alexion) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 7983b59 | Are you sure I can't catch it? (Nick) I'm positive. Believe me, I know my zombies. (Bubba) (Nick scoffed.) 'Is it just me or is that like saying I know my elves and fairies?' (Nick) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 70e12cb | I'm beginning to think the only choice anyone has in life is between either a bad choice or a worse one. | pessimism | Sherrilyn Kenyon | |
| 2d4b2e5 | As Nietzsche said, 'that which doesn't kill you- '(Alexion) Will only require brief hospitalization. And if you're a Dark-Hunter, just a good day's sleep. (Danger) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 5530c98 | Look and you wlll see, that which was can never be. When they seek a boy your age, Run, you flippin moron, run! | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| a8b55b7 | So, Acheron," Kyrian said, hijacking their conversation. "What happened to your car? I saw the busted fender on it. How unlike you to crash into anything." Nick cringed as Acheron turned towards him with an arched brow. "Hey now," Nick said, holding his hands up in defence of himself, "it was not fault.I was minding my own business when the trash can went suicidal, came out of nowhere, and jumped in front of the car." "It was on the curb,.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 340892d | The Children's Hour Between the dark and the daylight, When the night is beginning to lower, Comes a pause in the day's occupations, That is known as the Children's Hour. I hear in the chamber above me The patter of little feet, The sound of a door that is opened, And voices soft and sweet. From my study I see in the lamplight, Descending the broad hall stair, Grave Alice, and laughing Allegra, And Edith with golden hair. A whisper, and the.. | children love parenting poetry | Henry Wadsworth Longfellow | |
| fec9725 | emotions really exist at the bottom of the personality or at the top. in the middle they are acted. this is why all the world is a stage. | Iris Murdoch | ||
| 112690f | The bicycle is the most civilized conveyance known to man. Other forms of transport grow daily more nightmarish. Only the bicycle remains pure in heart. | Iris Murdoch | ||
| a8ca6e2 | A nation is born stoic, and dies epicurean. At its cradle (to repeat a thoughtful adage) religion stands, and philosophy accompanies it to the grave. In the beginning of all cultures a strong religious faith conceals and softens the nature of things, and gives men courage to bear pain and hardship patiently; at every step the gods are with them, and will not let them perish, until they do. Even then a firm faith will explain that it was th.. | Will Durant | ||
| 5e2205d | It's an irritating reality that many places and events defy description. Angkor Wat and Machu Picchu, for instance, seem to demand silence, like a love affair you can never talk about. For a while after,you fumble for words, trying vainly to assemble a private narrative, an explanation, a comfortable way to frame where you've been and whats happened. In the end, you're just happy you were there- with your eyes open- and lived to see it. | Anthony Bourdain | ||
| ee4c320 | We make our purpose. | life purpose | Carl Sagan | |
| b61825a | We humans look rather different from a tree. Without a doubt we perceive the world differently than a tree does. But down deep, at the molecular heart of life, the trees and we are essentially identical. | Carl Sagan | ||
| 75d3a2c | If we continue to accumulate only power and not wisdom, we will surely destroy ourselves. Our very existence in that distant time requires that we will have changed our institutions and ourselves. How can I dare to guess about humans in the far future? It is, I think, only a matter of natural selection. If we become even slightly more violent, shortsighted, ignorant, and selfish than we are now, almost certainly we will have no future. | Carl Sagan | ||
| b90f21e | Do not call up that which you cannot put down. | H P Lovecraft | ||
| 388a0e4 | It's strange how memory gets twisted and pulled like taffy in its retelling, how a single event can mean something different to everyone present. | recollection | Lisa Unger | |
| 8ebd8ad | Winter kept us warm, covering Earth in forgetful snow | T.S. Eliot | ||
| 82df9bc | There are three conditions which often look alike Yet differ completely, flourish in the same hedgerow: Attachment to self and to things and to persons, detachment From self and from things and from persons; and, growing between them, indifference, ... . | T.S. Eliot | ||

| f2311a4 | LADY BRACKNELL To speak frankly, I am not in favour of long engagements. They give people the opportunity of finding out each other's character before marriage, which I think is never advisable. | engagement humor marriage relationships | Oscar Wilde |
