| 321aaef | Love is like the wild rose-briar; Friendship like the holly-tree. The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms, But which will bloom most constantly? The wild rose-briar is sweet in spring ,Its summer blossoms scent the air; Yet wait till winter comes again, And who will call the wild-briar fair? Then, scorn the silly rose-wreath now, And deck thee with holly's sheen, | Emily Dickinson | ||
| fc51f2d | I feel occasionally my skull will crack, fatigue is continuous - I only go from less exhausted to more exhausted & back again. | Sylvia Plath | ||
| 32c583c | When I was nineteen, pureness was the great issue. Instead of the world being divided up into Catholics and Protestants or Republicans and Democrats or white men and black men or even men and women, I saw the world divided into people who had slept with somebody and people who hadn't, and this seemed the only really significant difference between one person and another. | Sylvia Plath | ||
| 8f6300d | Nobodys life ever goes according to plan. So why do we keep on planning? Because that's how we know who we are. By what we intend to be. By what we try to become. And fail. I don't say 'fail'. I saw we aim and miss. But we still hit something. | Orson Scott Card | ||
| c0ea68f | The young mouse's eyes snapped open, clear and bright. He swung the ancient sword high and struck at the giant adder. He struck for Redwall! He struck against evil! He struck for Martin! He struck for Log-a-Log and his shrews! He struck for dead Guosim! He struck as Methuselah would have wanted him to! He struck against Cluny the Scourge and tyranny! He struck out against Captain Snow's ridicule! He struck for the world of light and freedom.. | Brian Jacques | ||
| f72774f | like a grain of sand that gets into an oyster's shell. What if the grain doesn't want to become a pearl? Is it ever asked to climb out quietly and take up its old position as a bit of ocean floor? | Robin McKinley | ||
| dc76a04 | I love you. I will love you till the stars crumble, which is a less idle threat than is usual to lovers on parting. | humor love luthe | Robin McKinley | |

| 8f37023 | Never bet your money on another man's game. | Laura Ingalls Wilder | ||
| 55a1deb | To those who care about punctuation, a sentence such as "Thank God its Friday" (without the apostrophe) rouses feelings not only of despair but of violence. The confusion of the possessive "its" (no apostrophe) with the contractive "it's" (with apostrophe) is an unequivocal signal of illiteracy and sets off a Pavlovian "kill" response in the average stickler." | humor punctuation writing | Lynne Truss | |
| ac0c3be | Every so often I would look at my women friends who were happily married and didn't cook, and I would always find myself wondering how they did it. Would anyone love me if I couldn't cook? I always thought cooking was part of the package: Step right up, it's Rachel Samstat, she's bright, she's funny and she can cook! | humor marriage | Nora Ephron | |
| be0a387 | Eat this sweetish segment or spit it out. You are free. | Anthony Burgess | ||
| 8e9f799 | The best place for discovering what a man is is the heart of the desert. Your plane has broken down, and you walk for hours, heading for the little fort at Nutchott. You wait for the mirages of thirst to gape before you. But you arrive and you find an old sergeant who has been isolated for months among the dunes, and he is so happy to be found that he weeps. And you weep, too. In the arching immensity of the night, each tells the story of h.. | connecting decency humanity | Antoine de Saint-Exupéry | |

| fac7d6e | I almost jumped when the door opened. Alex came back inside, wearing black sweatpants; I swallowed as I saw his chest bare. "Forgot my T-shirt," he said sheepishly. His bag was on the floor near the bed, and I watched the lantern light play on his skin as he crossed to it. Squatting by the bag, he pulled out a T-shirt; I sat frozen, taking in the movement of his back and shoulders. I stood up, my heart hammering. "Wait. Can I just...?" I tr.. | L.A. Weatherly | ||
| c8f4dc7 | Daemon scratched his chest, his expression doubtful. "And how are we going to get her to exert energy." Andrew grinned from across the room. "We could take her out to a field and chase her around in our cars. That sounds fun." | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||

| 90fb10d | But it was Seth's decision, and it cannot be undone. And when you go topside in six months, you should find him and thank him." I was actually going to hug and squeeze and love the dude. Then smack him. And then hug and squeeze and love him again." | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| 320f47f | But Apollo told me." The laugh that came out of me sounded incredibly bitter. "Of course he did. And where was Apollo when I was getting my ass handed to me, by the way?" A pained look crossed her face, and I immediately regretted saying that. "I'm sorry," I whispered. "He was probably off doing important god stuff." ." | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| d1fbea7 | Desire wasn't the only thing between us. There was so much more: forgiveness, acceptance, relief, and most importantly, love. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| 953c978 | But why is it still there? Why is it there at all?" I flipped my palm over several times, shook it, but the faint blue tattoo was still there. "You can see it, right? Like right now, you can see it?" "Yes. It hasn't faded." Seth leaned forward, catching my hand. "Stop shaking it like it's a damn Etch-A-Sketch. That doesn't make them disappear." | seth | Jennifer L. Armentrout | |
| 52ce5c6 | When is there ever a right time to fully give your heart to another? There are always going to be obstacles. You just have to decide which ones are worth it. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||

| 63e0a9e | But there are times when the little cloud spreads, until it obscures the sky. And those times I look around at my fellow men and I am reminded of some likeness of the beast-people, and I feel as though the animal is surging up in them. And I know they are neither wholly animal nor holy man, but an unstable combination of both. | H.G. Wells | ||
| bf7171b | Frank gave Leo a confused smile- like he couldn't decide whether to gloat or to thank Leo for being a doofus- but he cheerfully let Hazel drag him along. | Rick Riordan | ||
| fae7222 | He touched the screen as if trying to reach through with his hand. "You're a wonderful young lady. I don't tell you that often enough. You remind me so much of your mother.

| 395e3b3 | What was I thinking?" Chiron cried. " I can't let you get away without this." He pulled a pen from his coat pocket. It was an ordinary disposable ballpoint, black ink, removable cap. Probably thirty cents. Gee," I said. "Thanks." Percy, that's a gift from your father. I've kept it for years, not knowing you were who I was waiting for. But the profecy is clear to me now. You are the one. I remembered the feild trip to the Metropolitan Museum.. | percy riptide sword | Rick Riordan | |
| ed0abdc | The goddess smiled. "You are a good hero, Percy Jackson. Not too proud. I like that. But you have much to learn. When Dionysus was made a god, I gave up my throne for him. It was the only way to avoid a civil war among the gods." "It unbalanced the Council," I remembered. "Suddenly there were seven guys and five girls." Hestia shrugged.

| 7515d77 | Grilled satyr with mango chutney," Polyphemus mused. He looked back at Clarisse, still hanging over the pot of boiling water. "You a satyr too?" "No, you overgrown pile of dung!" she yelled. "I'm a girl! The daughter of Ares!Now untie me so i can rip your arms off!" "Rip my arms off," Polyphemus repeated. "And stuff them down your throat!"
