| cb7770c | Ansel smiled, a winning grin. "Half of them are on their way there now. Ready to join with Terrasen. The country of my friend Celaena Sardothien, who did not forget it, even when she was in the Red Desert; and who did not stop looking north every night that we could see the stars. There was no greater gift I could offer to repay her than saving the kingdom she did not forget. And that was before I got her letter months ago, telling me who s.. | pg558 | Sarah J. Maas | |
| 0218b6d | She brought her mouth close to his ear. "My name is Celaena Sardothien," she whispered. "But it makes no difference if my name's Celaena or Lillian or Bitch, because I'd still beat you, no matter what you call me." She smiled at him as she stood. He just stared up at her, his bloody nose leaking down the side of his cheek. She took the handkerchief from her pocket and dropped it on his chest. "You can keep that," she said before she walked .. | throne-of-glass | Sarah J. Maas | |
| d58c16b | But she'd also promised Ansel that she had twenty minutes to get out of range. Celaena had fired after twenty-one. | Sarah J. Maas | ||

| 70cfd13 | He stole credit for my research. And he was after the code I'm working on now." Cade went still, fury spiking through him. "Holly, I'm going to give you his throat for this." "Aw, you say the sweetest things, demon." She stood on tiptoe and pressed a gentle kiss to his lips. Deciding he'd kill Tim for her anyway, he relaxed and said, "I know how to play those heartstrings, yeah?" She unbuckled Cade's belt. "I called him a fuckwit tosser." ".. | Kresley Cole | ||
| eb9b498 | I blinked, pushing myself up into a sitting position. I felt less like a truck had run over me and then backed up to make sure the job was done properly. Now it felt as if the truck had hit me only once. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 905ed63 | Your eyes." "What? What?" I scrubbed at them violently, horrified at the thought they might have those gross goopy things at the edges. Or were they even more bloodshot? I'd heard of that happening, where the whites ran with blood. "I think . . . the color's changing." He paused. "Is that even possible?" "Is that all? Now you're the one scaring the crap out of me." | solange | Alyxandra Harvey | |
| 5d9726d | The very second the door closed behind them, Nicholas started shouting. I guess I shouldn't have been surprised. 'I can't believe you did that!' he railed. 'After the field party, the vamps in the garden. Didn't you hear a single word I said?' 'No why don't you yell a little louder?' 'This isn't funny, Lucy. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 6df1072 | He's supposed to look out for you." "I do!" Kieran sounded offended. "You should be proud of her. Hart requested her presence personally at the Drake coronation." I closed my eyes briefly. We were doomed. "You went to a vampire ceremony?" Grandpa asked evenly. "He didn't know?" Kieran asked. "No, he didn't." "Sorry." Grandpa vibrated with rage. "I will not tolerate this kind of behavior in my family!" "It's different now," Kieran tried to a.. | grandpa kieran | Alyxandra Harvey | |

| 39e476a | The abbot told me once that lying was a betrayal to one's self. It's evidence of self-loathing. You see, when you are so ashamed of your actions, thoughts, or intentions, you lie to hide it rather than accept yourself for who you really are. The idea of how others see you becomes more important than the reality of you. It's like when a man would rather die than be thought of as a coward. His life is not as important to him as his reputation.. | Michael J. Sullivan | ||
| acee60a | You can go back to blacksmithing in Hintindar and live a quiet happy life. Do me a favor and marry some pretty farm girl and train your son to beat the crap out of imperial knights."

| 1c481d2 | Why?" he whispered as he leaned over her, supported on one arm. "Why must ye be the one that haunts me dreams? I've seen ye weepin' night after bloody night since the day I sent ye from me palace with yer dress half undone. If I had it to do over again, I'd cut me own right hand off rather than hurt ye so. Will ye never be able to forgive me, Silence love?" "I already have," she replied, cradling his cheek in her hand. "Long, long ago." | mickey scandalous-desires silence | Elizabeth Hoyt | |
| bbb46ec | You see," I explained to Joshua, "what Joy is doing is ironic, yet that's not her intent. That's the difference between irony and sarcasm. Irony can be spontaneous, while sarcasm requires volition. You have to create sarcasm." "No kidding?" said Josh. "Why do I waste my time with you?" | Christopher Moore | ||

| 020ea2c | Losing a belief in free will has not made me fatalistic--in fact, it has increased my feelings of freedom. My hopes, fears, and neuroses seem less personal and indelible. There is no telling how much I might change in the future. Just as one wouldn't draw a lasting conclusion about oneself on the basis of a brief experience of indigestion, one needn't do so on the basis of how one has thought or behaved for vast stretches of time in the pas.. | determinism free-will inspiration philosophy self-improvement | Sam Harris | |

| 02dc879 | We have an odd relationship with words. We learn a few when we are small, throughout our lives we collect others through education, conversation, our contact with books, and yet, in comparison, there are only a tiny number about whose meaning, sense, and denotation we would have absolutely no doubts, if one day, we were to ask ourselves seriously what they meant. Thus we affirm and deny, thus we convince and are convinced, thus we argue, de.. | words | José Saramago | |

| 33d210f | Sully,for shame!" Jonathan said in reproach, " and don't be foolish! What are we trying to practice everyday? If our friendship depends on things like space and time, we've destroyed our own brotherhood! But overcome space, and all we have left is Here. Overcome time, and all we have left is Now. And in the middle of Here and Now, don't you think that we might see each other once or twice?" | Richard Bach | ||
