| 52aa686 | The Sneetches got really quite smart on that day. The day they decided that Sneetches are Sneetches. And no kind of Sneetch is the best on the beaches. That day, all the Sneetches forgot about stars and whether they had one, or not, upon thars. | Dr. Seuss | ||
| 6b9caf3 | Silence is a mirror. So faithful, and yet so unexpected, is the relection it can throw back at men that they will go to almost any length to avoid seeing themselves in it, and if ever its duplicating surface is temporarily wiped clean of modern life's ubiquitous hubbub, they will hasten to fog it over with such desperate personal noise devices as polite conversation, hummin, whistling, imaginary dialogue, schizophrenic babble, or, should it.. | Tom Robbins | ||
| 88210e0 | Love is dope, not chicken soup. | Tom Robbins | ||

| ec3ee72 | But ever since I made the decision to drop a few pounds-way less easy than it sounds, by the way-I've become obsessed with my size and in so doing I've inadvertently allowed my inner critic to have a voice. And you know what? She's a bitch. Like now when I see my underpants in the laundry, I no longer think Soft! Cotton! Sensible! Instead I hear her say Damn, girl, these panties be huge. | weightloss | Jen Lancaster | |
| a19b050 | We made bad use of immortality, and so ended up dying; Christ made good use of mortality, so that we might end up living. | Augustine of Hippo | ||
| 9e8869d | If you were offered the chance to live your own life again, would you seize the opportunity? The only real philosophical answer is automatically self-contradictory: 'Only if I did not know that I was doing so.' To go through the entire experience once more would be banal and Sisyphean--even if it did build muscle--whereas to wish to be young again and to have the benefit of one's learned and acquired existence is not at all to wish for a re.. | conundrums desire groundhog-day life money old-age opportunity parents philosophy self-contradiction tiresias wishful-thinking women youth | Christopher Hitchens | |
| 1b6ace7 | Dearest Charles-- I found a box of this paper at the back of a bureau so I must write to you as I am mourning for my lost innocence. It never looked like living. The doctors despaired of it from the start... I am never quite alone. Members of my family keep turning up and collecting luggage and going away again, but the white raspberries are ripe. I have a good mind not to take Aloysius to Venice. I don't want him to meet a lot of horrid It.. | Evelyn Waugh | ||

| e5edd6a | All you need to know is that I have an old enemy pretending to be me. (Acheron) Why? (Talon) Well, it obviously isn't to be nice to me and win over my friends, now is it? (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||

Don't forget the most important part. Those bastards are hatched full grown and it wasn't just one. It was a swarm of them. (Savitar) So you admit you had help? (Takeshi) Oh, that's it, sensei. You're tasting sand. (Savitar) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||

| 84cad3a | He won't last long, akri. Thanatos is barbecue. And I like my barbecue. Just tell me how you want him, akri, normal recipe or extra crispy. I'm partial to extra crispy myself. They crunch louder when deep-fried. Reminds me, I need some bread crumbs. (Simi) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 76db430 | My demon ate them. (Nick) What happened to the jocks? (Acheron) Riiiight. And I suppose the Big Bad Wolf will be coming in right behind you to finish up? Or is it the Gingerbread Man I need to fear? (Nick) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 782437b | Okay, gimmi a kiss and I'll go. (Simi) Not in front of the Hunter, Simi. (Acheron) The Simi wants a kiss, akri. I'll wait all century. You know I will. (Simi) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||

| 70774dd | You know, I would date if I could find a man worth shaving my legs for. But most are such a waste of time that I'd rather sit at home and watch reruns of Hee Haw. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||

| 46197b3 | Bad, or good, as it happens to be, that is what it is to exist! . . . It is as though I have been silent and fuddled with sleep all my life. In spite of all, I know now that at least it is better to go always towards the summer, towards those burning seas of light; to sit at night in the forecastle lost in an unfamiliar dream, when the spirit becomes filled with stars, instead of wounds, and good and compassionate and tender.

| 7794435 | Que significa 'amar'? Durante anios he pensado que significa conocer a la otra persona..., conocerla perfectamente, con todos sus secretos; conocer cada rincon de su cuerpo, cada reflejo; conocer a fondo su alma, cada una de sus emociones... Quizas sea eso, quizas conocer sea lo mismo que amar. Pero eso solo es una teoria. Despues de todo, que quiere decir conocer? Cuanto se puede conocer a un ser humano? Hasta donde se puede seguir a un al.. | divorcio-en-buda felicidad tiempo | Sandor Maraï | |
| b665512 | We all, like Frodo, carry a Quest, a Task: our daily duties. They come us, not from us. We are free only to accept or refuse our task- and, implicitly, our Taskmaster. None of us is a free creator or designer of his own life. "None of us lives to himself, and none of us dies to himself" (Rom 14:7). Either God, or fate, or meaningless chance has laid upon each of us a Task, a Quest, which we would not have chosen for ourselves. We are all .. | Peter Kreeft |
