| 77c7e3c | Sir,' said Stephen, 'I read novels with the utmost pertinacity.

| c1f047e | Youth is only being in a way like it might be an animal. No, it is not just like being an animal so much as being like one of these malenky toys you viddy being sold in the streets, like little chellovecks made out of tin and with a spring inside and then a winding handle on the outside and you wind it up grrr grrr grrr and off it itties, like walking, O my brothers.

| b40443b | The first stars tremble as if shimmering in green water. Hours must pass before their glimmer hardens into the frozen glitter of diamonds. I shall have a long wait before I witness the soundless frolic of the shooting stars. In the profound darkness of certain nights I have seen the sky streaked with so many trailing sparks that it seemed to me a great gale must be blowing through the outer heavens. | Antoine de Saint-Exupéry | ||
| 0f7156f | It is not by way of language that I shall transmit what is within me; for it is inexpressible in words. I can but signify this insofar as you may understand it through other channels than the spoken word; by love's miracle or because, born of the same God, we are akin. Else I have to drag it out, laboriously--that sunken world within me. And thus, as my clumsiness avails, I display this or that aspect alone--as in the case of my mountain, o.. | Antoine de Saint-Exupéry | ||
| eb4ee65 | She knew this man's smile, his gentle ways of love, but not his godlike fury in the storm.

| ed3334b | Why me?" I blurted out, and then closed my eyes briefly. "Okay. Don't answer that." The food arrived just thenYi thank GodYi and the conversation was deterred...for about two minutes. "I'm going to answer that question," Cam said, peering at me through his lashes. I wanted to face-plant my stuffed chicken. "You don't have to." "No, I think I do." | cam funny j-lynn jennifer-l-armentrout wait-for-you | Jennifer L. Armentrout | |
| d885bab | Luc moved to the center of the floor. "I don't have all day, guys. I have things to do. A nap I want to take this afternoon. There's a new movie out on Netflix I want to watch, and a goddamn coupon for a free Whopper Jr. that's calling my name." | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||

| 7065bc7 | Thank you," Caleb said, and hugged me once more. Part of me wanted to stay in Caleb's arms, because he'd always had this grounding effect on me. Caleb was my rational side. He was more than that; other than my mother, he was the first person I'd ever truly loved. Caleb would always be my best friend." | caleb underworld | Jennifer L. Armentrout | |
| 95d1f56 | Okay," I sighed, interrupting before a battle of wills erupted. "So we will have to scout the wall first. We can-Apollo!" The god looked up.

Every time you move the first ball, it's going to move the rest of the balls." "No." His gaze dipped to the cradle. "Gra.. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| 9ce3e68 | An hour or so ago, they were in a heated discussion over whether or not Shane would've been a better father than Rick on The Walking Dead. Somehow that had digressed into Daemon arguing that the governor, sociopathic tendencies aside, was a better father figure. The fact that Archer had never eaten at Olive Garden but knew about The Walking Dead absolutely befuddled me. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| 3b12686 | Words would ruin things. They brought logic and reality into the game. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| 9a0f330 | How in the fuck is that even possible? Was Hades sleeping on the job o something?" "Yes, Seth, he took a nap and Perses snuck in the back door and let them out. Then they skipped through the Vale of Mourning, stopped to have a pic-a-nic and then decided to leave the Underworld all slow-like, and all the while Hades was chillin' and doing nothing." That sounded probable." | apollyon hades seth titans | Jennifer L. Armentrout | |

| 3e0edd5 | There are a lot of black-hearted, mean-spirited bastards in the world. It's important that we hold them to acount.

| ad7a225 | Gods know about fading. They know about being forgotten over centuries. The idea of ceasing to exist altogether terrifies us. In fact- well, Zeus would not like me sharing this information, and if you tell anyone, I will deny I ever said it-but the truth is we gods are a little in awe of you mortals. You spend your whole lives knowing you will die. No matter how many friends and relatives you have, your puny existences will quickly be forgo.. | Rick Riordan | ||

| 67a4c6f | The driver got out smiling. He looked about seventeen or eighteen, and for a second, I had the uneasy feeling it was Luke, my old enemy. This guy had the same sandy hair and outdoorsy good looks. But it wasn't Luke. His smile was brighter and more playful. (Luke didn't do much more than scowl and sneer these days.)
