| 75f97d6 | Cast me into a dungeon;, burn me at the state, crown me king of kings, I can 'pursue happiness' as long as my brain lives -- but neither gods nor saints, wise men nor subtle drugs, can insure that I will catch it. | Robert A. Heinlein | ||

| ffd66c1 | Because we would not wear any clothes because it was so hot and the windows open and the swallows flying over the roofs of the houses and when it was dark afterward and you went to the window very small bats hunting over the houses and close down over the trees and we would drink capri and the door locked and it hot and only a sheet and the whole night and we would both love each other all night in the hot night in Milan.

| b8db76b | Falling in love was as much about receiving as it was giving, was it? It seemed selfish. It was not, though. It was the opposite. Keeping oneself from being loved was to refuse the ultimate gift. He had thought himself done with romantic love. He had thought himself an incurable cynic. He was not, though.

| 6ed2bb8 | Mary frowned. A vampire doctor. Talk about exploring your alternative therapies. | J.R. Ward | ||

Then they start and tremble, they call us by our name, and as soon as we have.. | past | Marcel Proust | |

| f7d31a5 | In this single galaxy of ours there are eighty-seven thousand million suns. [...] In challenging it, you would be like ants attempting to label and classify all the grains of sand in all the deserts of the world. [...] It is a bitter thought, but you must face it.

| f76ca92 | The way young people speak about one another's bodies says a great deal about our society. In today's world, boys are much more likely to objectify girl's bodies than the other way around.

This has the effect of turning girls into mere objects, while boys are.. | lara maxx | John Green | |
