| 6b5f9d7 | As Lorcan stared down at Lysandra, his blood-splattered face impassive. "Out of the way, shifter." Lysandra had held up a slender hand- and Lorcan paused. The shape-shifter pressed her other hand against her stomach, her face blanching. But then she smiled and said, "You forgot to say 'please.' " Lorcan's dark brows flattened. "I don't have time for this." He made to step around her, shove her aside. Lysandra vomited black blood all over hi.. | lysandra rowan-whitethorn vomit | Sarah J. Maas | |

| b83302a | I dared, for the first and last time in my life, to express a theological conclusion: "But how can a necessary being exist totally polluted with the possible? What difference is there, then, between God and primogenial chaos? Isn't affirming God's absolute omnipotence and His absolute freedom with regard to His own choices tantamount to demonstrating that God does not exist?" | chaos creation divine-will omnipotence theology | Umberto Eco | |
| af31952 | I lacked the courage to investigate the weaknesses of the wicked, because I discovered they are the same as the weaknesses of the saintly. | weakness | Umberto Eco | |
| 363e936 | I nodded. "Where's your hunter?" She flinched. "He went home. We thought it would be best." Her eyes went from worried to warning. "He's under Drake protection." "So am I, or so I've been led to understand." "Of course you are," Lucy said, her nose pressed to the window. "Misunderstanding. No big deal." Solange quirked a half smile. "You might try complete sentences, Lucy." "Can't. Busy." I was curious despite myself. "What are you d.. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| fc8e36a | Why should I wish to see God better than this day? I see something of God each hour of the twenty-four, and each moment then, In the faces of men and women I see God, and in my own face in the glass; I find letters from God dropped in the street, and every one is signed by God's name, And I leave them where they are, for I know that others will punctually come forever and ever. | Walt Whitman | ||
| ed306b3 | Eve rose stiffly when he strode out of the house. In silence, she watched Julia look after him. "The male ego," Eve murmured as she crossed the room to put an arm around Julia's shoulders. "It's a huge and fragile thing. I always envision it as an enormous penis made of thin glass." | Nora Roberts | ||

| 9ec5ea3 | That thing the nature of which is totally unknown to you is usually what you need to find, and finding it is a matter of getting lost. The word 'lost' comes from the old Norse 'los' meaning the disbanding of an army...I worry now that people never disband their armies, never go beyond what they know. Advertising, alarmist news, technology, incessant busyness, and the design of public and private life conspire to make it so. A recent article.. | play wanderlust | Rebecca Solnit | |
| 2430f3e | Women in the online gaming community have been harassed, threatened, and driven out. Anita Sarkeesian, a feminist media critic who documented such incidents, received support for her work, but also, in the words of a journalist, 'another wave of really aggressive, you know, violent personal threats, her accounts attempted to be hacked.

| bac9f01 | La unica gente que me interesa es la que esta loca, la gente que esta loca por vivir, loca por hablar, loca por salvarse, con ganas de todo al mismo tiempo, la gente que nunca bosteza ni habla de lugares comunes, sino que arde, arde como fabulosos cohetes amarillos explotando igual que aranas entre las estrellas. | Jack Kerouac | ||
| 6503248 | After all this kind of fanfare, and even more, I came to a point where I needed solitude and to just stop the machine of 'thinking' and 'enjoying' what they call 'living,' I just wanted to lie in the grass and look at the clouds... | living living-life solitude | Jack Kerouac | |

| a0a745c | Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd planned to speak to you tonight to report on the state of the Union, but the events of earlier today have led me to change those plans. Today is a day for mourning and remembering. Nancy and I are pained to the core by the tragedy of the shuttle Challenger. We know we share this pain with all of the people of our country.

| 4f9a5c6 | People think of education as something that they can finish. And what's more, when they finish, it's a rite of passage. You're finished with school. You're no more a child, and therefore anything that reminds you of school - reading books, having ideas, asking questions - that's kid's stuff. Now you're an adult, you don't do that sort of thing any more. | learning lifetime | Isaac Asimov | |

| 05ea449 | There were no more choices, no more options, no more clever ways out of a tough situation. And the rush, I realized in a brutal wash of despair, is a false god I've chased my entire life.

| 8b7112e | When had we reached the point where the answer to Rei's question had become yes without hesitation? When Zane had sat by my bedside for hours while I was drifting in and out of consciousness?

Or when I had first seen him cry and had wanted nothing but to comfort him? | Amelia Atwater-Rhodes | ||
