| c07899e | The sun has blessed you," Sarita used to say. "Look how he has left his kisses on your face for all to see and be jealous." "The sun loves you more," I said, rubbing my hands over her dry arms, the color of an aged wine gourd, and she laughed. But this is not India and we are not prized for our freckles here. The sun is not allowed to show his love." | Libba Bray | ||
| 5c3b3f7 | But you've changed,' I whisper. 'Haven't you?' It is the scorpian's nature to sting. Just because he has no opportunity doesn't mean that he cannot. | Libba Bray | ||
| d5043a8 | We're all looking glasses, we girls, existing only to reflect their images back to them as they'd like to be seen.

| 5410d2b | When the world moves forward too fast for some people, they try to pull us all back with their fear. | Libba Bray | ||
| 4fd8857 | The face staring back at me isn't beautiful but she isn't something that would scare the horses, either. | Libba Bray | ||

| 2f5dbd3 | You tell yourself that noise is what defines silence. Without noise, silence would not be golden. Noise is the exception. Think of deep outer space, the incredible cold and quiet where your wife and kid wait. Silence, not heaven, would be reward enough. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
| 2317a2a | There's worse that people can steal from you than money. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
| 16b4587 | You gain power by pretending to be weak. By contrast, you make people feel strong. You save people by letting them save you. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
| 271a64c | After long enough, everyone in the world will be you enemy. | enemy life time | Chuck Palahniuk | |
| b4d1b71 | The people are immensely likable-- cheerful, extrovert, quick-witted, and unfailingly obliging. Their cities are safe and clean and nearly always built on water. They have a society that is prosperous, well ordered, and instinctively egalitarian. The food is excellent. The beer is cold. The sun nearly always shines. There is coffee on every corner. Life doesn't get much better than this. | Bill Bryson | ||
| 5db037d | 99.99 percent of all species that have ever lived are no longer with us. | Bill Bryson | ||
| 927a4ec | When cells are no longer needed, they die with what can only be called great dignity. They take down all the struts and buttresses that hold them together and quietly devour their component parts. The process is known as apoptosis or programmed cell death. Every day billions of your cells die for your benefit and billions of others clean up the mess. Cells can also die violently- for instance, when infected- but mostly they die because they.. | Bill Bryson | ||

| d7dd5e2 | Once upon a time, there was a prostitute called Maria. Wait a minute. "Once upon a time" is how all the best children's stories begin, and "prostitute" is a word for adults. How can I start a book with this apparent contradiction? But since, at every moment of our lives, we all have one foot in a fairy tale and the other in the abyss, let's keep that beginning." | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 3661421 | When I took the pills, I wanted to kill someone I hated. I didn't know that other Veronikas existed inside me, Veronikas that I could love. | decide die existence hate hospital insane kill love menthal other pill suicidal | Paulo Coelho | |
| 21abc81 | YOU don't choose your life; it chooses you. There's no point asking why life has reserved certain joys or griefs, you just accept them and carry on. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 087b2b4 | I am my own best friend and my own worst enemy. Before coming here, I was thinking I don't deserve it, that i wouldn't be able to meet your expectations, and that you had probably chosen the wrong candidate. At the same time, my heart was telling me that i was being rewarded because i hadn't given up and had fought to the end | Paulo Coelho | ||

| ac3f6d9 | I will never be yours, and you will never be mine; nevertheless, I can honestly say: I love you, I love you, I love you. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| e139fdb | The secret is here in the present. If you pay attention to the present, you can improve upon it. And, if you improve on the present, what comes later will also be better. Forget about the future, and live each day according to the teachings, confident that God loves his children. Each day, in itself, brings with it an eternity. | Paulo Coelho | ||

| 3977c85 | Night falls; the traveler must pass down village streets, between the houses with yellow- lit windows, and on out into the darkness of the fields. Each alone, they go west or north, towards the mountains. They go on. They leave Omelas, they walk ahead into the darkness, and they do not come back. The place they go towards is a place even less imaginable to most of us than the city of happiness. I cannot describe it at all. It is possible th.. | Ursula K. Le Guin | ||

| 34b9964 | Let me give you a bit of advice.' the girl said bitterly, 'from one working girl to another; life isn't easy, no matter where you are. You'll make choices you think are right and then suffer for them.' Those remarkable eyes flickered. 'So if you're going to be miserable, you might as well go to Antica and be miserable in the shadow of the Torre Cesme. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 14d167e | Why", he asked. "Why did you save her?" She dragged a hand through her hair. A white bandage around her upper arm peeked through her shirt with the movement. He hadn't even been conscious for that wound. He stifled the urge to demand to see it, assess the injury himself--and tug her close against him. "Because that golden-haired witch, Asterin...," Aelin said. "She screamed Manon's name the way I screamed yours." Rowan stilled. His queen ga.. | manon-blackbeak pg508 rowan-whitethorn | Sarah J.

| 1793e2a | I'm serious," Lucien said as I lifted the glass to my lips, my brows raised. "Remember the last time you ignored my warning?" He poked me in the neck, and I batted his hand away. "I also remember you telling me how witchberries were harmless, and the next thing I knew, I was half-delirious and falling all over myself," I said, recalling the afternoon from a few weeks ago. I'd had hallucinations for hours afterwards, and Lucien had laughed h.. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| c1eca24 | That girl that had needed to be protected, who had craved stability and comfort . . . she had died Under the Mountain. I had died, and there had been no one to protect me from those horrors before my neck snapped. So I had done it myself. And I would not, could not, yield that part of me that had awoken and transformed Under the Mountain. | feyre | Sarah J. Maas | |
| 2b21a71 | There is a better world out there. And I have seen it." Even the Thirteen looked toward her now. "I have seen witch and human and Fae dwell together in peace.

Whose love for their people is so strong that even in the face of unthinkable odds, they do the impossible." | Sarah J. Maas |
