| 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 | magic-bleeds ilona-andrews kate | 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. | magic-bleeds kate 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.. | lorelei kate-daniels | Ilona Andrews | |
| 0989bc6 | Women themselves are so happy, and so beautiful, when they're strong, that they naturally choose powerful men, even if that power's so enermous there's a real risk it could shatter them. | Honoré de Balzac | ||
| 7a4c047 | O Lord my God, tell me what you are to me. Say to my soul, . Say it so that I can hear it. My heart is listening, Lord; open the ears of my heard and say to my soul, . Let me run toward this voice and seize hold of you. Do not hide your face from me: let me die so that I may see it, for not to see it would be death to me indeed. | Augustine of Hippo | ||
| 6bbceae | I hadn't seen Jennifer in a week. Absence doesn't make the heart grow fonder. Whoever said that was a damn fool. Absence makes the heart suicidal. Take my heart for example. It hadn't stopped hurling itself against my ribs--at odd times, day or night--for a week. | Penny Reid | ||
| 394fd6a | Faith is not believing in my own unshakable belief. Faith is believing an unshakable God when everything in me trembles and quakes. | Beth Moore | ||
| a9860b6 | we had once called out hello into the cauldron of the world and then run away before anyone could respond. | Miranda July | ||
| e55ce70 | People are always breaking through, like in the Doors song 'Break on Through (To the Other Side)'. But I really had. I had broken through twice now, and my feeling about the universe was that it was porous and radical and you could turn it on, you could even fuck around with the universe. | Miranda July | ||
| 4784ac0 | It was the first time I could actually understand the seduction and the allure of baring your throat to a predator. It had always seemed like madness to me, or the result of reading too many novels. It still did. But there was the barest sway of my body toward him. His hair swung out to briefly curtain our faces. There was something in his expression that I couldn't entirely decipher. And then he stepped back abruptly, his familiar smirk er.. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| d7719af | I couldn't convince her that if I had a book with me, I wasn't lonely. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| a49729f | Perhaps I won't marry then. Instead, you and I shall live as spinsters in a cottage by the sea. We'll burn our corsets, eat chocolate morning, noon and night and grow fat as hedgehogs. | marriage humor | Alyxandra Harvey | |
| 157c91e | All truths wait in all things, They neither hasten their own delivery nor resist it, They do not need the obstetric forceps of the surgeon, | Walt Whitman | ||
| dcb2173 | All music is what awakes within us when we are reminded by the instruments; It is not the violins or the clarinets - It is not the beating of the drums - Nor the score of the baritone singing his sweet romanza; not that of the men's chorus, Nor that of the women's chorus - It is nearer and farther than they | Walt Whitman | ||
| ab2d1c4 | Once I passed through a populous city imprinting my brain for future use with its shows, architecture, customs, traditions, Yet now of all that city I remember only a woman I Casually met there who detained me for love of me, Day by day and night by night we were together--all else Has long been forgotten by me, I remember I say only that woman who passionately clung To me, Again we wander, we love, we separate again, Again she holds me by .. | Walt Whitman | ||
| bd039e6 | The last scud of day holds back for me, It flings my likeness after the rest and true as any on the shadow'd wilds, It coaxes me to the vapor and the dusk. I depart as air, I shake my white locks at the runaway sun, I effuse my flesh in eddies, and drift it in lacy jags. I bequeath myself to the dirt to grow from the grass I love, If you want me again look for me under your boot-soles. You will hardly know who I am or what I mean, But I s.. | spiritual mystic | Walt Whitman | |
| 1e39f84 | I am larger, better than I thought; I did not know I held so much goodness. | Walt Whitman | ||
| e3860b0 | You're not seriously going out again, are you?" "Seriously, yeah. Bowling. Her name's Laura. If you want more details, you're gonna have to download the video like everybody else." | Rachel Caine | ||
| 36258b8 | Bracelets with white symbols?" Michael made the question casual; in fact, he bent his head and concentrated on tuning his guitar, not that it needed it. Every note sounded perfect as it whispered out of the strings. "Do you remember?" "No." She felt a pure burst of something that wasn't quite panic, wasn't quite excitement. "Does that mean they have Protection?" He hesitated for about a second, just long enough for her to know he was surpri.. | Rachel Caine | ||
| 790f36a | Hello! Your dear father is unfortunately very dead," he called. "And you said my dispersal system would never work!" | myrnin | Rachel Caine | |
| e728f98 | Who's Myrnin?" Claire controlled an urge to roll her eyes. "Badass crazy vampire scientist who's my boss." "You realize no part of that sentence made sense, right?" | Rachel Caine | ||
| 48070e6 | Shane's dad stopped the van," Claire said. "He took Monica as a hostage." For a second, neither one of them moved, and then Eve whooped and held up her hand for a high five. Claire just stared at her, and Eve compensated by clapping both hands over her head. "Yesssss!" she said, and did a totally geeky victory dance. "Couldn't have happened to a nicer psycho!" "Hey!" Claire yelled, and Eve froze in midcelebration. It was stupid, but Claire .. | Rachel Caine | ||
| 01c5da0 | He swallowed and shifted his weight a little uneasily, and then said, very quietly, his lips almost touching hers, 'Promise me you'll marry me. Not now. Someday. Because I need to know." Claier felt a flutter inside, like a bird trying to fly, and a ruch of heat that made her dizzy. And something else, something fragile as a soap bubble, and just as beautiful. Joy, in the middle of all this horror and heartbreak. 'Yes,' she whispered back... | Rachel Caine | ||
| 61105ea | I'd always thought that I understood this, but lately I realize that what I call "understanding" is basically just fantasizing." | David Sedaris | ||
| 3950695 | The word phobic has its place when properly used, but lately it's been declawed by the pompous insistence that most animosity is based upon fear rather than loathing.... I hate computers. My hatred is entrenched, and I nourish it daily. I'm comfortable with it, and no community outreach program will change my mind. | psychology | David Sedaris | |
| e34eb82 | You're not going to charge us for the tower, I hope," Hadrian said. "But if you are, it was Royce's fault and should come out of his share." | Michael J. Sullivan | ||
| b18da85 | How's your foot?" Hadrian asked. "It hurts." "He had a good hold." "Bit right through my boot." "Yeah, that looked painful." "So why exactly didn't you help?" Hadrian shrugged. "It was a dog, Royce. A cute, little dog. What did you want me to do, kill an innocent little animal?" Royce tilted his head, squinting into the light of the late evening sun to focus on his friend. "Is that a joke?" "It was a puppy." "It was not a puppy, and it was .. | Michael J. Sullivan | ||
| ec441df | Royce turned to Hadrian. "It's supposed to make them look tough, but all it really does is make it easy to identify them as thieves for the rest of their lives. Painting a red hand on everyone is pretty stupid when you think about it." "That tattoo is supposed to be a hand?" Hadrian asked. "I thought it was a little red chicken. But now that you mention it, a hand does make more sense." Royce looked back at Will and tilted his head to one s.. | Michael J. Sullivan | ||
| 526594a | Smile and the world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone. | Susanna Kaysen | ||
| eddcc20 | Farid had brought an invisible guest with him. Fear. | Cornelia Funke | ||
| 9f00cdd | Memories, so sweet and bitter.. they had both nourished and devoured him for so many years. Until a time came when they began to fade, turning faint and blurred, only an ache to be quickly pushed away because it went to your heart. For what was the use of remembering all you had lost? | Cornelia Funke | ||
| a171a13 | She brooded and bit her rich lips: my soul began its first sink into her, deep, heady, lost; like drowning in a witches' brew, Keltic, sorcerous, starlike. | women | Jack Kerouac |
