| 461f1ec | I told you I didn't want to fight with Charlie." "Nobody said that you had to." I glowered at him. "I can't help myself when he gets all bossy like that--my natural teenage instincts overpower me." | edward-cullen | Stephenie Meyer | |
| 512b23d | Sometimes the best hiding place is the one that's in plain sight. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 61c3347 | If you don't send Edward out," Emmett--still invisible in the night--hissed menacingly, "we're coming in after him!" "Go," I laughed. "Before they break my house." | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| ef8a3e4 | So when he touched me, it was deeper and slower than the wildfire, like the flow of molten rock far beneath the surface of the earth. Too deep to feel the heat of it, but it moved inexorably, changing the very foundations of the world with its advance. | romancem science-fiction | Stephenie Meyer | |
| 4d24c4f | It's not the end. It's the beginning. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| a429e44 | I give no sources, because it is indifferent to me whether what I have thought has already been thought before me by another. | source thought | Ludwig Wittgenstein | |
| 328485e | People can start out one way, and by the time life gets through with them they end up completely different. | life people | Sue Monk Kidd | |
| 90d12e7 | Look, I know you meant well creating the world and all, but how could you let it get away from you like this? How come you couldn't stick with your original idea of paradise? People's lives were a mess. | problems world | Sue Monk Kidd | |
| 3bda956 | Use your head, can't you, use your head, you're on earth, there's no cure for that! | Samuel Beckett | ||
| 7a685a0 | Lolita, luz de mi vida, fuego de mis entranas. Pecado mio, alma mia. Lo-li-ta: la punta de la lengua emprende un viaje de tres pasos paladar abajo hasta apoyarse, en el tercero, en el borde de los dientes. Lo. Li. Ta. Era Lo, sencillamente Lo, por la manana, cuando estaba derecha, con su metro cuarenta y ocho de estatura, sobre un pie enfundado en un calcetin. Era Lola cuando llevaba puestos los pantalones. Era Dolly en la escuela. Era Dolo.. | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| 977681c | Years of secret suffering had taught me superhuman self-control. | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| 3d8f2f2 | The fire you rubbed left its brand on the most vulnerable, most vicious and tender point of my body. Now I have to pay for your rasping the red rash too strongly, too soon, as charred wood has to pay for burning. When I remain without your caresses, I lose all control of my nerves, nothing exists any more than the ecstasy of friction, the abiding effect of your sting, of your delicious poison. | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| 8b0c6a5 | It was love at first touch rather than at first sight, for I had met her several times before without experiencing any special emotions; but one night as I was seeing her home, something quaint she had said made me stoop with a laugh and lightly kiss her on the hair - and of course we all know of that blinding blast which is caused by merely picking up a small doll from the floor of a carefully abandoned house: the soldier involved hears no.. | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| 29296ca | Lolita: Oh my Carmen, my little Carmen... Humbert: Charmin' Carmen. Started garglin' Lolita: I remember those sultry nights Humbert: Those pre-raphaelites Lolita: No, come on. And the stars and the cars and the bars and the barmen. Humbert: And the bars that sparkled and the cars that parkled...And the curs that barkled and the birds that larkled. Lolita: And oh my charmin, our dreadful fights Humbert: Such dreadful blights Lolita: And the .. | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| 920b053 | If he failed the first time he took his driver's licence test, it was mainly because he started an argument with the examiner in an ill-timed effort to prove that nothing could be more humiliating to a rational creature than being required to encourage the development of a base conditional reflex by stopping at a red light when there was not an earthly soul around, heeled or wheeled. He was more circumspect the next time, and passed... | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| 3133071 | If he was silent I could be silent too. Indeed, I could very well do with a little rest in this subdued, frightened-to-death rocking chair, before I drove to wherever the beast's lair was - and then pulled the pistol's foreskin back, and then enjoyed the orgasm of the crushed trigger. | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| c14af0c | a person hoping to become a poet must have the capacity of thinking of several things at a time. | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| 9bd1cc2 | I'm thinking of aurochs and angels, the secret of durable pigments, prophetic sonnets, the refuge of art, And this is the only immortality that you and I may share, my Lolita. | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| 0eb7df5 | As infants, our first victory comes in grasping some bit of the world, usually our mother's fingers. Later we discover that the world, and the things of the world, are grasping us, and have been all along. | marquez | Stephen King | |
| 2aff558 | The first real terror struck him then, and there was nothing supernatural about it. It was only a realization of how easy it was to trash your life. That was what was so scary. You just dragged the fan up to everything you had spent the years raking together and turned the motherfucker on. | Stephen King | ||
| c2d964d | Because who would ever want to get close to another person if they knew how hard the letting-go part was? In your heart they only die a little at a time, don't they? Like a plant when you go away on a trip and forget to ask a neighbor to poke in once in awhile with the old watering-can, and its so sad-- | Stephen King | ||
| 7fc43e9 | Laughter, Susannah would later reflect, is like a hurricane: once it reaches a certain point, it becomes self-feeding, self-supporting. You laugh not because the are funny but because your own is funny. | Stephen King | ||
| ef5e9ca | Life sucks, then you die | Stephen King | ||
| cbf7fee | Any parting could be forever, and we don't know. | Stephen King | ||
| e300c93 | Can I? Yeah. You bet I can. There's a million things in this world can't do. Couldn't hit a curve ball, even back in high school. Can't fix a leaky faucet. Can't roller-skate or make an F-chord on the guitar that sounds like anything but shit. I have tried twice to be married and couldn't do it either time. But if you want me to take you away, to scare you or involve you or make you cry or grin, yeah. I can. I can bring it to you and keep b.. | Stephen King | ||
| 85108dd | No one likes to see a government folder with his name on it. | Stephen King | ||

| 10a8d24 | Sorrow is better than fear. Fear is a journey,a terrible journey, but sorrow is at least an arrival. When the storm threatens, a man is afraid for his house. But when the house is destroyed, there is something to do. About a storm he can do nothing, but he can rebuild a house. | Alan Paton | ||
| f653b21 | Only that man who has offered up himself entire to the blood of war, who has been to the floor of the pit and seen the horror in the round and learned at last that it speaks to his inmost heart, only that man can dance. - The judge | Cormac McCarthy | ||
| 8b77eab | I think we're all pretty crazy on this bus. I'm not sure I know anyone who's got all the dots on his or her dice. | Anne Lamott | ||
| a5ba671 | one thing about having a baby is that each step of the way you simply cannot imagine loving him any more than you already do, because you are bursting with love, loving as much as you are humanly capable of- and then you do, you love him even more. | Anne Lamott | ||
| c474ba9 | Grief, as I read somewhere once, is a lazy Susan. One day it is heavy and underwater, and the next day it spins and stops at loud and rageful, and the next day at wounded keening, and the next day numbness, silence. | Anne Lamott | ||
| 2f6bd59 | We cheated, you and me, and someone noticed. I noticed you; someone else noticed me. It hurts us. That's not so bad. So many people cheat. Everywhere on every level. Everyone's cheated. I'm just saying that you don't need to see yourself as a cheater. Because that's not who you are. You're someone who cheated. There's a difference, and you should try to get that difference, or that's who you'll grow up to be. | Anne Lamott | ||
| 8071b94 | I'm probably just as good a mother as the next repressed, obsessive-compulsive paranoiac. | Anne Lamott | ||
| fedad48 | Who says we the walls back up? You're roaches, we're Raid. We'll get rid of you eventually. | Karen Marie Moning | ||
| d5f0631 | Hormones are nature's three bottles of beer. | Mary Roach | ||
| 7c9cbe6 | The cup of tea on arrival at a country house is a thing which, as a rule, I particularly enjoy. I like the crackling logs, the shaded lights, the scent of buttered toast, the general atmosphere of leisured cosiness. | P.G. Wodehouse | ||
| fae1d61 | From the moment I told her about my dad, it was as if her whole body sighed in relief. As if someone else's misery comforted her, made her feel as if she wasn't alone. | Simone Elkeles | ||
| ef2e41a | He may be out of my life physically, but he'll always be a part of me. I can't let him go even if I tried. Alex took a piece of my heart, but that doesn't mean my life has to be on hold. I can't keep running after ghosts. | Simone Elkeles | ||
| ee6f21b | I can't sleep. Too many thoughts running through my useless head. | Simone Elkeles | ||
| b2e3bf6 | we look up and we hope the stars look down, we pray that there may be stars for us to follow, stars moving across the heavens and leading us to our destiny, but it's only our vanity. We look at the galaxy and fall in love, but the universe cares less about us than we do about it, and the stars stay in their courses however much we may wish upon them to do otherwise. It's true that if you watch the sky-wheel turn for a while you'll see a met.. | Salman Rushdie | ||
| 7ba7850 | Well, I spent six or seven years after high school trying to work myself up. Shipping clerk, salesman, business of one kind or another. And it's a measly manner of existence. To get on that subway on the hot mornings in summer. To devote your whole life to keeping stock, or making phone calls, or selling or buying. To suffer fifty weeks of the year for the sake of a two-week vacation, when all you really desire is to be outdoors, with your .. | Arthur Miller |
