| 75286ce | I've come to believe errors, especially written errors, are often the only markers left by a solitary life: to sacrifice them is to lose the angles of personality, the riddle of a soul. In this case a very old soul. A very old riddle. | Mark Z. Danielewski | ||
| 4979065 | Sometimes just being still is the best thing you can do for yourself. | Silas House | ||
| 3c9b729 | I've never understood why people run to get out of the rain in the summertime... People will drive miles and miles to go jump in a cool swimming hole, but when it rains, they scatter. | Silas House | ||
| 8432807 | Who is Alice?" asked mother. "Alice is somebody that nobody can see," said Frances. "And that is why she does not have a birthday. So I am singing Happy Thursday to her." - Frances the badger" -- | Russell Hoban | ||
| a5b98d8 | employers sense in me a denial of their values...they fear me. i suspect that they can see that i am forced to function in a century which i loathe. | John Kennedy Toole | ||
| c5bf010 | If we go on to cast a look at the fate of world historical personalities... we shall find it to have been no happy one. They attained no calm enjoyment; their whole life was labor and trouble; their whole nature was nothing but their master passion. When their object is attained they fall off like empty hulls from the kernel. They die early, like Alexander; they are murdered, like Casear; transported to St. Helena, like Napoleon. | Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel | ||
| 5999e19 | I had killed a man, for money and a woman. I didn't have the money and I didn't have the woman. | money murder noir women | James M. Cain | |
| 505a67a | In reality of everyday occurrences I've had to submit to people in order not to lose them. It's less the submission that bothers me, I guess, than how it makes my life miserable. And what happens if I can't forgive myself for making that choice? And what if, in order to keep on living, I have to continue to accept myself? What am I supposed to do? Conclusion: It'd be best if I'm destroyed. The best thing is for me just to vanish. | regret submission suicide | Natsuo Kirino | |
| 816a19d | I have never allowed a gentleman to dictate to me, or to interfere with anything I do. | women | Henry James | |
| d410e89 | Mature love is union under the condition of preserving one's integrity, one's individuality; a power which breaks through the walls which separate man from his fellow men, which unites him with others; love makes him overcome the sense of isolation and separateness, yet it permits him to be himself, to retain his integrity. | Erich Fromm | ||
| a489706 | The pleasure in complete domination over another person (or other animate creature) is the very essence of the sadistic drive. Another way of formulating the same thought is to say that the aim of sadism is to transform man into a thing, something animate into something inanimate, since by complete and absolute control the living loses one essential quality of life - freedom. | Erich Fromm | ||
| 93d6712 | There is no meaning to life except the meaning man gives his life by the unfolding of his powers. | Erich Fromm | ||
| d27f3c3 | I did try to found a little heresy of my own; and when I had put the last touches to it, I discovered that it was orthodoxy. | G.K. Chesterton | ||
| ab9e174 | Suppose, my dear Chadd, suppose it is we who are the idiots because we are not afraid of devils in the dark? | G.K. Chesterton | ||
| e2d1b70 | The Christian religion is a very powerful and convincing mistake. | Philip Pullman | ||
| 02f9d30 | It does not make sense. It cannot exist. It's impossible, and if it isn't impossible, it's irrelevant, and if it isn't either of those things, it's embarrassing. | Philip Pullman | ||
| f59b416 | And just when I thought the pain had dulled, my mind would betray me and bring Dad back to life in my dreams. Sometimes I didn't realize that he was dead until I awoke and then it was like a punch in the stomach. And sometimes I knew in my dream that I was dreaming, and I woke up crying. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 37724ed | You're crazy, you know that?" "Yes. But I'm a demon in the sack." I laughed. "Okay then. That fixes everything." "That's right, it does." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 361c53c | He grabbed the nearest lizard, twisted it with a loud snap, and tossed it aside. "Hey, baby." "Hi." I beheaded a lizard. "Where are the kids?" "With the MSDU." He disemboweled a beast with a quick swipe of his claws. "You're having all this fun without me." "I'm not doing much. Just having tea and cookies." I cut at another lizard. "Thinking deep thoughts." "Then I'll join you." He loved me, too." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| f256bd8 | I reached over and squeezed Curran's hand. "Come on, you, me, a platter of barely seared meat, it will be great. If we see the navigators, we can make fun of the way they hold their forks." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| c3d4d2e | You don't have the touching rights." "How do I get those?" Stop being a self-absorbed spoiled baby. "You get those if I fall in love with you." He stopped. "In love. You're serious?" "Yes." That would shut him up. "What is this, the sixteenth century? Should I write you a sonnet next?" "Is it going to be a good sonnet?" | nevada-baylor | Ilona Andrews | |
| 56080af | She'd dropped to her knees and put her head on his chest, and when she'd heard the strong, even heartbeat, she'd cried and then kissed his lips gently, because he was asleep and he would never know. He'd scared her so much. Stupid wolf. Her stupid, stupid wolf. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 35f6686 | Just so you know: if a rakshasa shows up, I left my sword in the car. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| bf930e9 | Are you waiting for a clue to fall on your head?" Derek asked. "Yep. Tell me if you see one coming." "Nope." "My super mental powers must be getting rusty." | kate-daniels | Ilona Andrews | |
| a536ed9 | There was something very comforting about him, and I was not sure if it was his easy manner or his complete immunity to my scowling. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| d520ff2 | He'd laugh in my face, then I'd slice him to ribbons and then he'd break my neck | ilona-andrews kate magic-bleeds | Ilona Andrews | |
| 745eb2c | You do realize you just insulted me, right?" "How so?" "You implied that I can't protect her or my people." I looked at him. "That's not at all what I meant." "Apologize and I'll let it go." I kept my hands firmly on the iron rail before me. Grabbing the weight bar and walloping the Beast Lord upside the head wouldn't be the best diplomatic move. "I'm sorry, Your Majesty." There. I was civil. It almost killed me." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 43018b8 | Well, check this out. Mine is bigger. | kate magic-bleeds sword | Ilona Andrews | |
| 75ae661 | Cough clenched, and vomited something chunky into the grass. Terrific. The big dog sat on his haunches and looked at William with a perplexed expression on his face. "Well, eat it back up," William hissed. "Don't waste it." Cough gave a tiny whine. "I'm not eating your puke." Cough panted at him. "No." | william | Ilona Andrews | |
| f4c389e | It must be very tiring for the Consort," Lorelei said next to me. [...] "Perhaps a mount could be brought...?" Lorelei suggested. Out of a corner I saw both Barabas and George freeze. "Thank you for your concern. I can manage." "Please, it's no trouble at all. You could hurt yourself. I know that even something minor like a twisted ankle would present a big problem for a human..." "We wouldn't want you to struggle to keep up." Okay, she w.. | kate-daniels lorelei | Ilona Andrews | |

| fb12b25 | Everything has to be taken on trust; truth is only that what is taken to be true. It's the currency df living. There may be nothing behind it, but it doesn't make any difference so long as it is honoured. One acts on assumptions. What do you assume? | Tom Stoppard | ||

| 8900030 | Here's another way to put it: You're here to be light, bringing out the God-colors in the world. God is not a secret to be kept. We're going public with this, as public as a city on a hill. If I make you light-bearers, you don't think I'm going to hide you under a bucket, do you? I'm putting you on a light stand.

| 2451a45 | Let us never fear robbers or murderers. They are dangers from without, petty dangers. Let us fear ourselves. Prejudices are the real robbers; vices are the real murderers. The great dangers lie within ourselves. What matters it if something threatens are head or our purse! Let us think only of that which threatens the soul. | les-mis les-misérables quotes-by-the-bishop-in-les-mis religion-christianity victor-hugo | Victor Hugo |
