| 93d9154 | Nobody loses all the time. | E.E. Cummings | ||
| 2a82574 | In an ideal world, we would have been orphans. We felt like orphans and we felt deserving of the pity that orphans get, but embarrassingly enough, we had parents. | Miranda July | ||
| b9670d4 | A better man wouldn't play this 'sweethearts' game with her when he knew very well it couldn't lead to more. But he wasn't a better man. He was Colin Sandhurst, reckless, incorrigible rogue--and damn it, he couldn't resist. He wanted to amuse her, spoil her, feed her sweets and delicacies. Steal a kiss or two, when she wasn't expecting it. He wanted to be a besotted young buck squiring his girl around the fair. In other words, he wanted to .. | honesty | Tessa Dare | |
| 726c07a | It is easy to blame your lot in life on some outside force, to stop trying because you believe fate is against you. It is easy to think that where you were raised, how your parents treated you, or what school you went to is all that determines your future. Nothing could be further from the truth. The common people and the great men and women are all defined by how they deal with life's unfairness: Helen Keller, Nelson Mandela, Stephen Hawki.. | William H. McRaven | ||

| 9376c14 | Michael: 'Hey, remember when I almost didn't let you into the house that first day you came?' Claire: 'Yep' Michael: 'Well, I was dead wrong. Maybe I never said that out loud before, but I mean it, Claire. All that's happened since... we wouldn't have made it. Not me, not Shane, not Eve. Not without you.' Claire: 'It's not me. It's not!

| 425a344 | They came out in a dim, damp basement - a generic sort of place, full of moulding boxes. 'You take me to the nicest places,' Claire said, and sneezed. | claire-danvers funny humor myrnin rachel-caine | Rachel Caine | |
| 70ed1c6 | Shane said, "Don't worry. I'll protect you." Claire hit him in the shoulder. "I don't need you to protect me." "Then why am I going first?" "So you can take the first punch while I throw the second?" "So I'm bait? Ouch. You've been in Morganville way too long, girl." | claire-danvers going-first morganville protect shane-collins | Rachel Caine | |

| daf5459 | Places matter. Their rules, their scale, their design include or exclude civil society, pedestrianism, equality, diversity (economic and otherwise), understanding of where water comes from and garbage goes, consumption or conservation. They map our lives. | landscape place | Rebecca Solnit | |

| 3ae2224 | Say what you will about the south, but in North Carolina a hot dog is free to swing anyway it wishes. | David Sedaris | ||
| ec2fa27 | I should be used to the way Americans dress when traveling, yet it still manages to amaze me. It's as if the person next to you had been washing shoe polish off a pig, then suddenly threw down his sponge saying, "Fuck this. I'm going to Los Angeles!" | David Sedaris | ||
| b354d1e | This was the consequence of seeing too much and understanding the horrible truth: No one is safe. The world is not manageable. | David Sedaris | ||
| ee3e650 | Sallie Mae sounds like a naive and barefoot hillbilly girl but in fact they are a ruthless and aggressive conglomeration of bullies located in a tall brick building somewhere in Kansas.

| 1f7bff9 | Sometimes during the night I'd look at my poor sleeping mother cruelly crucified there in the American night because of no-money, no-hope-of-money, no family, no nothing, just myself the stupid son of plans all of them compacted of eventual darkness. God how right Hemingway was when he said there was no remedy for life - and to think that negative little paper-shuffling prissies should write condescending obituaries about a man who told the.. | Jack Kerouac | ||
| 3f1986d | We all agree it's too big to keep up with, that we're surrounded by life, that we'll never understand it, so we center it all in by swigging Scotch from the bottle and when it's empty I run out of the car and buy another one, period. | Jack Kerouac | ||
| 7c307ef | That's the story of my life rich or poor and mostly poor and truly poor. | Jack Kerouac | ||
| 62bc396 | I'd rather hop freights around the country and cook my food out of tin cans over wood fires, than be rich and have a home or work. | Jack Kerouac | ||

| 5b6d2bc | The sun goes down long and red. All the magic names of the valley unrolled - Manteca, Madera, all the rest. Soon it got dusk, a grapy dusk, a purple dusk over tangerine groves and long melon field; the sun the color of pressed grapes, slashed with burgundy red, the fields the color of love and Spanish mysteries. I stuck my head out the window and took deep breaths of the fragant air. It was the most beautiful of all moments. | Jack Kerouac | ||
| 0991719 | The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap And seeing that it was a soft October night Curled once about the house, and fell asleep | T.S.

| 3684f4a | Love is a dangerous thing. It comes in disguise to change our life... Lust is the deceiver. Lust wrenches our lives until nothing matters except the one we think we love, and under that deceptive spell we kill for them, give all for them, and then, when we have what we have wanted, we discover that it is all an illusion and nothing is there. Lust is a voyage to nowhere, to an empty land, but some men just love such voyages and never care ab.. | love lust | Bernard Cornwell | |
| ba491cc | Juno MacGuff: Wise move. I know this girl who had a huge crazy freakout because she took too many behavioral meds at once.

| 4b6ddab | It was my fault, she sobbed, and it was true, no one could deny it, but it is also true, if this brings her any consolation, that if, before every action, we were to begin by weighing up the consequences, thinking about them in earnest, first the immediate consequences, then the probable, then the possible, then the imaginable ones, we should never move beyond the point where our first thought brought us to a halt | José Saramago | ||
