| 653cbb4 | surveyed the cabin around me, the surfaces I'd painted nearly a year ago. I was promised a wall, Rhys. A pause. A long pause. I've taken you against a wall before. These walls. Another long, long pause. It's bad form to be at attention while in the birchin. My lips curved as I sent him an image. A memory. Of me on the kitchen table just a few feet away. Of him kneeling before me. My legs wrapped around his head. Cruel, wicked thing. I heard.. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 85b3721 | Manon didn't move as Glennis lifted the crown and set it again on Manon's head. Then the ancient witch knelt in the snow. "What was stolen has been restored; what was lost has come home again. I hail thee, Manon Crochan, Queen of Witches." Manon stood fast against the tremor that threatened to buckle her legs. Stood fast as the other Crochans, Bronwen with them, dropped to a knee. Dorian, standing amongst them, smiled, brighter and freer th.. | Sarah J. Maas | ||

| c8b753d | Immortality is not as much of a gift as mortals would believe. It can breed monsters that even you would be sick to learn about. Imagine the sadists you've encountered--and then imagine them with millennia to hone their craft and warped desires. | Sarah J. Maas | ||

| 5ba7b0c | en algun lugar al que nunca he viajado, gozosamente mas alla de cualquier experiencia, tus ojos tienen su silencio: en tu gesto mas fragil hay cosas que me abarcan, o que no puedo tocar porque estan demasiado cerca tu mirada mas leve me abrira facilmente aunque me haya cerrado como dedos, siempre me abres petalo tras petalo como la Primavera abre (tocando habilmente, misteriosamente) su primera rosa o si tu deseo fuera cerrarme, yo y mi vid.. | E.E.

Progress is a comfortable disease: your victim (death and life safely beyond) plays with the bigness of his littleness --- electrons deify one razorblade into a mountainrange; lenses extend unwish through curving wherewhen till unwish returns on its unself. A world of made is not a world of born --- pity poor flesh and trees, poor stars and stones, but never this fi.. | manunkind | E.E. Cummings | |

| 921c682 | Under torture you are as if under the dominion of those grasses that produce visions. Everything you have heard told, everything you have read returns to your mind, as if you were being transported, not toward heaven, but toward hell. Under torture you say not only what the inquisitor wants, but also what you imagine might please him, because a bond (this, truly, diabolical) is established between you and him ... These things I know, Uberti.. | torture truth | Umberto Eco | |

"Much better." | jerkface shane-collins | Rachel Caine | |

| e7f2088 | Claire was just coming down the stairs, humming and thinking about how nice it was to have things getting back to normal, and how she'd tell Shane about the January thing tonight, when Myrnin sent a message through the portal--well, more of a rock with a note tied to it, which rolled across the floor and scared Eve into a scream before the portal snapped shut. Eve kicked the rock resentfully with her thick black boots and glared at it, then.. | Rachel Caine | ||

| 496c9a1 | In the beginning, I was put off by the harshness of German. Someone would order a piece of cake, and it sounded as if it were an actual order, like, 'Cut the cake and lie facedown in that ditch between the cobbler and the little girl'. | humor | David Sedaris | |
