| bf3f042 | The most important thing we can pray about for others is that they will know God better and that He will help them understand His will, grow in spiritual wisdom, and live lives that honor Him. We can pray that they will become more like Him and bear the fruit of His Spirit. | bible-study inspirational prayer | Stormie Omartian | |
| d1f2b77 | and she was so simply his love, his girl, watching him approach as if she were memorizing him and his walk and those flowers and this moment, and he wanted to ask her what sound a heart made when it broke from pleasure, when just the sight of someone filled you the way food, blood, and air never could... | Dennis Lehane | ||
| ce7420a | I didn't mind the quiet stretches. It was like we were trying out the idea of being side by side. | Aimee Bender | ||
| ed0e171 | I am your enemy, the first one you've ever had who was smarter than you. There is no teacher but the enemy. No one but the enemy will tell you what the enemy is going to do. No one but the enemy will ever teach you how to destroy and conquer. Only the enemy shows you where you are weak. Only the enemy tells you where he is strong. And the only rules of the game are what you can do to him and what you can stop him from doing to you. I am you.. | Orson Scott Card | ||
| 47e38f2 | There was no doubt now in Ender's mind. There was no help for him. Whatever he faced, now and forever, no on ewould save him from it. Peter might be scum, but Peter had been right, always right; the power to cause pain is the only power that matters, the power to kill and destroy, because if you can't kill then you are always subject to those who can, and nothing and no one will ever save you. | ender-wiggin helplessness pain peter-wiggin power will-to-power | Orson Scott Card | |
| 81c9528 | We've devoted our lives to learning about them!" Miro said. Ender stopped. "Not from them." -- | Orson Scott Card | ||
| ff10724 | Gilbert took from his desk a little pink candy heart with a gold motto on it, "You are sweet," and slipped it under the curve of Anne's arm. Whereupon Anne arose, took the pink heart gingerly between the tips of her fingers, dropped it on the floor, ground it to powder beneath her heel, and resumed her position without deigning to bestow a glance on Gilbert." -- | L. M. Montgomery | ||
| 88fbc8f | All the luck in the world has to come every year, in every part of every year, or there is not a harvest and then the luck, the bad luck will come and everything we are, all that we can ever be, all the Einsteins and babies and love and hate, all the joy and sadness and sex and wanting and liking and disliking, all the soft summer breezes on cheeks and first snowflakes, all the Van Goghs and Rembrandts and Mozarts and Mahlers and Thomas Jef.. | Gary Paulsen | ||
| 36ce54f | Nevertheless, (Jefferson) believed that the habit of skepticism is an essential prerequisite for responsible citizenship. He argued that the cost of education is trivial compared to the cost of ignorance, of leaving government to the wolves. He taught that the country is safe only when the people rule. | ignorance skepticism thomas-jefferson | Carl Sagan | |
| ee9c1c5 | For any true stickler, you see, the sight of the plural word "Book's" with an apostrophe in it will trigger a ghastly private emotional process similar to the stages of bereavement, though greatly accelerated. First there is shock. Within seconds, shock gives way to disbelief, disbelief to pain, and pain to anger. Finally (and this is where the analogy breaks down), anger gives way to a righteous urge to perpetrate an act of criminal damage.. | Lynne Truss | ||

| 8a23ae8 | I am living in the Google years, no question of that. And there are advantages to it. When you forget something, you can whip out your iPhone and go to Google. The Senior Moment has become the Google moment, and it has a much nicer, hipper, younger, more contemporary sound, doesn't it? By handling the obligations of the search mechanism, you almost prove you can keep up.... You can't retrieve you life (unless you're on Wikipedia, in which c.. | Nora Ephron | ||

| 8110043 | From the essay "Twenty-five Things People Have a Shocking Capacity to Be Surprised by Over and Over Again" 1. Journalists sometimes make things up. 2. Journalists sometimes get things wrong. 3. Almost all books that are published as memoirs were initially written as novels, and then the agent/editor said, This might work better as a memoir. 6. Freedom of the press belongs to the man who owns one." | Nora Ephron | ||

| 4939107 | You're a demigod," he said hoarsely. It was the first thing he said. "Yeah," I replied, my voice breathy. "Is that...um, okay with you?" His gaze flicked up to mine, and he arched a brow. "Do I need to kiss you again?" My lips twitched. "Maybe." | seth-diodoros the-return | Jennifer L. Armentrout | |
| f617406 | I'm a lot of things, but today I'm your fucking saving grace. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| 4a7e0c7 | Kat had a thing for dandelions. She couldn't keep her fingers off them when we'd been training with the onyx. From the moment those yellow weeds started poking through the ground, she'd snap them up and pop their heads off. A wry grin tugged at my lips as I skidded to a stop in front of the windowless door. Demented Kitten. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| ef7a9e1 | This is not your problem." "You are my problem." Now she stared at me like I asked to hump her leg. Perhaps I was saying the wrong things and should shut the fuck up." | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| 55c65a9 | I've never had apple pie," I blurted out. ... "You've never had apple pie?" "No." His brows rose. "Why?" "I don't know. Just never tried it." "That's so...so un-American," he said, and I rolled my eyes. "Are you a terrorist?" | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| aa9cdbc | We stared at each other for several moments, neither of us speaking or moving, and then I was in front of her, pulling her to my chest, breathing in her scent as I went down on my knees, bring her with me. Her arms went around me and she held on just as tightly as I held her. It was then when I realized I was still in my true form. She was light against my darkness. Serena hadn't backed away or hesitated. She accepted me, all of me. She alw.. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||

| eb5a8df | What about the presents?" "Yeah, I don't think that's what Christmas is about," he commented. Andrea huffed. "That is what Christmas is about. Anyone who says differently is trying to make themselves look all spiritual and shit. I keep it real." | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| 06f5f0a | In death - no! even in the grave all is not lost. Else there is no immortality for man. Arousing from the most profound slumbers, we break the gossamer web of some dream. Yet in a second afterward, (so frail may that web have been) we remember not that we have dreamed. | immortality life-after-death the-pit-and-the-pendulum | Edgar Allan Poe | |
| bcda3d6 | That pleasure which is at once the most pure, the most elevating and the most intense, is derived, I maintain, from the contemplation of the beautiful. | pleasure | Edgar Allan Poe | |

| aec979f | If your Soviet neighbor is trying to set fire to your house, you can't be worrying about the Arab down the block. If suddenly it's the Arab in your backyard , you can't be worrying about the People's Republic of China and if one day the ChiComs show up at your front door with an eviction notice in one hand and a Molotov cocktail in the other, then the last thing you're going do is look over his shoulder for a walking corpse. | zedhead | Max Brooks | |

| 425559f | Oh, I believe you. It's too ridiculous not to be true. It's just that each time my world gets stranger, I think: Right. We're at maximum oddness now. At least I know the full extent of it. First, I find out my brother and I are descended from the pharaohs and have magic powers. All right. No problem. Then I find out my dead father has merged his soul with Osiris and Why not? Then my uncle takes over the House of Life and oversees hundreds o.. | Rick Riordan | ||

| db9c457 | Hello, Olympus! Aeolus, master of the winds here, with weather every twelve! We'll have a low-pressure system moving over Florida today, so expect milder temperatures since Demeter wishes to spare the citrus farmers!|| He gestured at the blue screen, but when Jason checked the monitors, he saw that a digital image was being projected behind Aeolus, so it looked like he was standing in front of a U.S. map with animated smiley suns and frowny.. | poseidon zeus | Rick Riordan | |

| a1f368f | Jason took me by the shoulders--not out of anger, or in a clinging way, but as a brother. "Promise me one thing. Whatever happens, when you get back to Olympus, when you're a god again, remember. Remember what it's like to be human." A few weeks ago, I would have scoffed. Why would I want to remember any of this? At best, if I were lucky enough to reclaim my divine throne, I would recall this wretched experience like a scary B-movie that ha.. | human-life jason | Rick Riordan | |

'--including one incident where you were to kill with magic,' Disturber said. Setne shrugged. 'That was self-defense for my employer. | Rick Riordan | ||
| 811b47d | Wonderful, Annabeth thought. Her own mother, the most levelheaded Olympian, was reduced to a raving, vicious scatterbrain in a subway station. And, of all the gods who might help them, the only ones not affected by the Greek-Roman schism seemed to be Aphrodite, Nemesis and Dionysus. Love, revenge, wine. Very helpful. | Rick Riordan |
