| c78ac9c | I can make some calls. There is a guy. Dagfinn Heyerdahl. He used to be with Norse Heritage Foundation." Norse Heritage Foundation wasn't so much about heritage as it was about viking, in the most cliche sense of the world. They drank huge quantities of beer, they brawled, and they wore horned helmets despite all historical evidence to the contrary. "Used to be?" Curran asked. "They kicked him out for being drunk and violent." Curran blinke.. | Ilona Andrews | ||

My life came to a standstill. I could breathe, eat, drink, and sleep, and I could not help doing these things; but there was no life, for there were no wishes the fulfillment of which I could consider reasonable. If I desired anything, I knew in advance that whether I satisfied m.. | Leo Tolstoy | ||

| 40b901c | If Gone With the Wind has a theme it is that of survival. What makes some people come through catastrophes and others, apparently just as able, strong, and brave, go under? It happens in every upheaval. Some people survive; others don't. What qualities are in those who fight their way through triumphantly that are lacking in those that go under? I only know that survivors used to call that quality 'gumption.' So I wrote about people who had.. | Margaret Mitchell | ||

| c3e9976 | I look up, and he's searching my eyes, just like he did after kissing me for the first time in the rain. "What are you looking for?" He doesn't answer. He doesn't need to. I know what he wants. And it's not fair. "Just because we're the only two teenagers on this whole ship doesn't mean I have to love you. Why can't I have a choice? Options?" Elder steps back, stung. "Look, it's not that I don't like you," I say quickly, reaching for him. H.. | Beth Revis | ||

And these values are inevitably transferred .. | literature war women | Virginia Woolf | |

| ee68ada | I have discovered in my long life that there are many words and phrases which have more power than any spell of magick. The most well-known of these is, of course, I love you.
