| ea20ff4 | To live is to love, to love is to live. | Libba Bray | ||
| 6d9feb8 | We create the illusions we need to go on. And one day, when they no longer dazzle or comfort, we tear them down, brick by glittering brick, until we are left with nothing but the bright light of honesty. The light is liberating. Necessary. Terrifying. We stand naked and emptied before it. And when it is too much for our eyes to take, we build a new illusion to shield us from its relentless truth. | Libba Bray | ||
| 9ea682b | You know that old phrase 'Those who don't remember the past are condemned to repeat it'? Well, I think those who remember the past are even worse off. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
| 26f96cc | Ask yourself: What did I eat for breakfast today? What did I eat for dinner last night? You see how fast reality fades away? | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
| 4a13dd8 | But I am greedy for life. I do too much of everything all the time. Suddenly one day my heart will fail. The Iron Crab will get me as it got my father. But I am not afraid of The Crab. At least I shall have died from an honourable disease. Perhaps they will put on my tombstone. 'This Man Died from Living Too Much'. | Ian Fleming | ||
| c340a27 | Everyone has the revolver of resignation in his pocket. | Ian Fleming | ||
| 160b6c6 | There are so many ways to be alive, but only one way to be dead. | Nicole Krauss | ||
| ed556c0 | Once upon a time there was a boy who loved a girl and her laughter was a question he wanted to spend his whole life answering. When they were ten he asked her to marry him. When they were eleven he kissed her for the first time... For her sixteenth birthday he gave her an English dictionary and together they learned the words. | Nicole Krauss | ||
| c9a7b99 | We are so used to the notion of our own inevitability as life's dominant species that it is hard to grasp that we are here only because of timely extraterrestrial bangs and other random flukes. The one thing we have in common with all other living things is that for nearly four billions years our ancestors have managed to slip through a series of closing doors every time we needed them to. | Bill Bryson | ||
| 355699a | Claudia knew that she could never pull off the old-fashioned kind of running away. That is, running away in the heat of anger with a knapsack on her pack. She didn't like discomfort; even picnics were untidy and inconvenient: all those insects and the sun melting the icing on the cupcakes. Therefore, she decided that her leaving home would not be just running from somewhere but would be running to somewhere. | E.L. Konigsburg | ||
| 8499ccf | Focus on giants - you stumble. Focus on God - Giants tumble. | max-lucado nonfiction | Max Lucado | |
| a2193b5 | The maker of the stars would rather die for you than live without you. And that is a fact. So if you need to brag, brag about that. | boast boasting christian christianity faith god god-s-love | Max Lucado | |
| e63d0d1 | A flower is not better when it blooms than when it is merely a bud; at each stage it is the same thing -- a flower in the process of expressing its potential. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 3d424f4 | They think they're normal, because they all do the same thing. Well, I'm going to pretend that I have drunk from the same well as them. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| d9aa01b | She regretted having taken his hand, she wanted to get away from there as soon as possible, to hide her shame, never again to see that man who had witnessed all that was most sordid in her, and who nevertheless continued to treat her with such tenderness. But again she remembered Mari's words: She didn't need to explain her life to anyone, not even to the young man standing before her. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 1fa330a | I'm not doing anything, and yet I'm also doing the most important thing a man can do: I'm listening to what I needed to hear from myself. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| fa1b76b | That's how love got lost ... when we started laying down rules for when love should or shouldn't appear. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| e620aa6 | If Evil exists, it's to be found in our fears | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 105ea48 | A Warrior of Light never resorts to trickery, but he knows how to distract his opponent. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 9b8275b | When God wants to drive a person insane, he grants that person's every wish. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 52c1b55 | A boy and a girl were insanely in love with each other," my mother's voice was saying. "They decided to become engaged. And that's when presents are always exchanged. The boy was poor-his only worthwhile possession was a watch he'd inherited from his grandfather. Thinking about his sweetheart's lovely hair, he decided to sell the watch in order to buy her a silver barrette. The girl had no money herself to buy him a present. She went to the.. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 5dfff1d | That is what the forest taught me. That you will never be mine, and that is why I will never lose you...." ......... "I will always remember you, and you will remember me, just as we will remember the evening, the rain on the window, and all the things we'll always have because we cannot possess them" | Paulo Coelho | ||
| b714dee | I don't hate too many guys. What I may do, I may hate them for a little while, like this guy Stradlater I knew at Pencey, and this other boy, Robert Ackley. I hate them once in a while--I admit it--but it doesn't last too long, is what I mean. After a while, if I didn't see them, if they didn't come in the room, or if I didn't see them in the dining room for a couple of meals, I sort of missed them. I mean I sort of missed them. | J.D. Salinger | ||
| c46d7b3 | You know, I'm the only one in this family who has no problems, . . . And you know why? Because any time I'm feeling blue, or , what I do, I just invite a few people to come visit me in the bathroom, and--well, we iron things out together, that's all. | J.D. Salinger | ||
| a983bf4 | If you're a poet, you do something beautiful. I mean, you're supposed to leave something beautiful after you get off the page and everything. The ones you're talking about don't leave a single, solitary thing beautiful. All that maybe the slightly better ones do is sort of get inside your head and leave something there, but just because they do, just because they know how to leave something, it doesn't have to be a poem for heaven's sake. I.. | J.D. Salinger | ||
| 582d85c | I mean most girls are so dumb and all. After you neck them for a while, you can really watch them losing their brains. You take a girl when she really gets passionate, she just hasn't any brains. | J.D. Salinger | ||
| bc053a4 | Reading enables me to maintain a sense of something substantive- my ethical integrity, my intellectual integrity. | integrity isolation reading self-knowledge social-change | Jonathan Franzen | |
| d1515df | Death and life are the same thing-like the two sides of my hand, the palm and the back. And still the palm and the back are not the same...They can be neither separated, nor mixed. | equilibrium life | Ursula K. Le Guin | |
| 545f62d | To learn a belief without the belief is to sing a song without the tune. | mind religion spirit | Ursula K. Le Guin | |
| c16bef2 | To be an atheist is to maintain God. His existence or his non existence, it amounts to much the same, on the plane of proof. Thus proof is a word not often used among the Handdarata, who have chosen not to treat God as a fact, subject either to proof or to belief: and they have broken the circle, and go free. To learn which questions are unanswerable, and not to answer them: this skill is most needful in times of stress and darkness. | Ursula K. Le Guin | ||
| 2283cf9 | And I didn't think even eternity would be long enough to fix me. | dark depressing dreary fae falling-apart immortal sad trauma wounded | Sarah J. Maas | |
| d13e860 | Her heart was raw and trembling, and the darkness faded. | throne-of-glass | Sarah J. Maas | |
| 2f4b29f | He stared at her; she stared right back. Unyielding, unbreakable. They'd been cut from the same cloth. Aedion loosed a breath and looked at their joined hands - then opened his to examine her scarred palm, crisscrossed with the marks of her vow to Nehemia and the cut she'd made the moment she and Rowan became carranam, their magic joining them in an eternal bond. 'It's hard not to think all of your scars are my fault.' Oh. Oh. | aelin-ashryver-galathynius queen-of-shadows | Sarah J. Maas | |
| 34b7226 | No, Celaena Sardothien certainly did not exist anymore. That woman--the woman he had loved ... Perhaps she'd drowned in the vast, ruthless sea between here and Wendlyn. Perhaps she'd died at the hands of the Valg princes. Or maybe he'd been a fool all this time, a fool to look at the lives she'd taken and blood she'd so irreverently spilled, and not be disgusted. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 2e599c9 | She lifted her chin. "I've been shouting for you." Sam shrugged, sauntering over to her. "I figured you could wait a few minutes, given that I saved the day and all." His brows rose high on his ash-covered face. "Some hero." She gestured to the ruin of the tower around them. "I've never seen such sloppy work" | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 7c60de7 | I think she was a god... I never learned her name. She only left a note with two lines. "For wherever you need to go - and then some. The world needs more healers." - Yrene, about Aelin" | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| bac4625 | Deep inside me, rising with every swirling flake, a sparkling, crisp power stirred. I was High Lady of the Night Court, | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| f20495a | We need hope as much as we need bread and meat," he interrupted, his eyes clear for a rare moment. "We need hope, or else we cannot endure." | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 9ed5a05 | He forgot Gavriel and Lorcan as he bolted for her--the gold and red and blue flames utterly hers, this heir of fire. Spying him at last, she smiled faintly. A queen's smile. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 37ef712 | All Rowan now had to offer his queen were the strength of his sword, the depth of his magic, and the loyalty of his heart. Such things did not win wars. | love rowan-whitethorn | Sarah J. Maas | |

| 1ffc55b | Revenge is more wild, less calculated...deeply personal. Retribution is a punishment that is morally right and fully deserved. (Mitch Rapp) | Vince Flynn | ||
| a3dd765 | If you want to understand what's most important to a society, don't examine its art or literature, simply look at its biggest buildings." In medieval societies, the biggest buildings were its churches and palaces; using Campbell's method, we can assume these were feudal cultures that revered their leaders and worshipped God. In modern Western cities, the biggest buildings are the banks--bloody great towers that dominate the docklands--and t.. | Russell Brand |
