| aeea026 | In this moment, I'm yours. | Krista Ritchie | ||
| 64244f7 | I have many names, and none of them matter. Names are not important. To speak is to name names, but to speak is not important. A thing happens once that has never happened before. Seeing it, a man looks upon reality. He cannot tell others what he has seen. Others wish to know, however, so the question him saying, 'What is it like, this thing you have seen?' So he tries to tell them. Perhaps he has seen the very first fire in the world. He t.. | Roger Zelazny | ||
| 22cb7cc | Sandry: "There has to be something we can do." Lark: "We're mages. We do what we can, but some problems are too big to fix." Sandry: "Then I wish I weren't a mage. What good is magic, if you can't use it to help people." | lark magic problems sandry | Tamora Pierce | |
| ab4411c | I would apologize for my rudeness, if I had any manners. Happily, I don't. | happy manners rudeness | Tamora Pierce | |
| d50fd24 | Indeed Not. Stop kicking me, Daine. You understand, she is very important to a number of powerful nobles and mages in Tortall." Numair's voice was quiet, almost friendly; his eyes were hard. "Their majesties. Lady Alanna and her husband, the baron of Pirate's Swoop. Me. All of us would take iit amiss if we thought for a moment she was being trifled with, particularly by a young man who wasn't free to do the right thing by her." "Numair," Da.. | humor numair prince-kaddar threat | Tamora Pierce | |
| bef70d6 | Girls are always saying things like, "I'm so unhappy that I'm going to overdose on aspirin," but they'd be awfully surprised if they succeeded. They have no intention of dying. At the first sight of blood, they panic." | death depression diary-entry dying journal panic rachel-klein sad-girl self-harm suicide teen-angst the-moth-diaries unhappy | Rachel Klein | |
| 510ad3b | The secret of man's being is not only to live but to have something to live for. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 01ac3ee | In a morbid condition of the brain, dreams often have a singular actuality, vividness, and extraordinary semblance of reality. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 5f6da26 | We always imagine eternity as something beyond our conception, something vast, vast! But why must it be vast? Instead of all that, what if it's one little room, like a bath house in the country, black and grimy and spiders in every corner. and that's all eternity is? I sometimes fancy it like that. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 630d18f | Nothing could be more absurd than moral lessons at such a moment! Oh, self-satisfied people: with what proud self-satisfaction such babblers are ready to utter their pronouncements! If they only knew to what degree I myself understand all the loathsomeness of my present condition, they wouldn't have the heart to teach me. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| f600f64 | But what can a decent man speak of with most pleasure? Answer: Of himself. Well, so I will talk about myself. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 452bfd3 | Do you think it is a vain hope that one day man will find joy in noble deeds of light and mercy, rather than in the coarse pleasures he indulges in today -- gluttony, fornication, ostentation, boasting, and envious vying with his neighbor? I am certain this is not a vain hope and that the day will come soon. | gluttony good-deeds hope mercy nobility-of-spirit sin values | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| 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 | ||
| 919d83d | We live only a few conscious decades, and we fret ourselves enough for several lifetimes. | life | Christopher Hitchens | |
| c05ceab | So I close this long reflection on what I hope is a not-too-quaveringly semi-Semitic note. When I am at home, I will only enter a synagogue for the or of a friend's child, or in order to have a debate with the faithful. (When I was to be wed, I chose a rabbi named Robert Goldburg, an and a and a , who had married to and had a copy of Marilyn's conversion certificate.

| 778fe8c | We're all under the same sky and walk the same earth; we're alive together during the same moment. | Maxine Hong Kingston | ||
| 0b9e68a | Perhaps all our loves are merely hints and symbols; a hill of many invisible crests; doors that open as in a dream to reveal only a further stretch of carpet and another door; perhaps you and I are types and this sadness which sometimes falls between us springs from disappointment in our search, each straining through and beyond the other, snatching a glimpse now and then of the shadow which turns the corner always a pace or two ahead of us.. | Evelyn Waugh | ||
| a70e290 | Are you mad? (Artemis) Yes, I am. Mad at this world where we are nothing to the gods. Mad at the Fates who put us here for no purpose except to toy with us for their petty amusement. I wish all of the gods were dead and gone. (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 757dc71 | Take this. (Jericho) (He slid the ring off his finger and handed it to him.) I'm not about to marry your ugly ass, boy. No offense, but you ain't my type. I like my dates with less body hair...and with female parts attached by nature. (Asmodeus) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 7380eb3 | Beat him until there's no skin left on his back. If he passes out, wake him and beat him again. (Father) Love you, too, Father. (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 91c5b19 | Nick cleared his throat. "Do not ... and I mean do ... not ... take this the wrong way, okay?" He wrapped his arms around Ash and hugged him. "I will always be your brother," he whispered in Ash's ear. "And I won't ever hate you." | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| cfe1463 | So how many women have you visited in their dreams? (Geary) Is this one of those questions that if I don't answer it correctly, you get angry at me? (Arik) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 3a5cfff | Where I come from, family's defined as those who don't screw you over a paycheck. Blood makes no difference. If you can trust them with your life and know that they'll be there come whatever hell rains down, then they're your family. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 4b03b10 | Be glad you have a mother who loves you." He was glad of that. A lot, since she was basically the only person on earth who did. But now that he was a full head taller than her, it was weird when she tried to cuddle him like he was a baby. He could be almost seven feet tall like Acheron, and she'd probably still try to pull him into her lap." | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 2b9e870 | Have you been drinking this morning? How did you miss me? I swear I've fought old women with better reflexes. (Takeshi) The fact you fight old women tells me just how rusty you've become. What? Your ego needed the boost and they were the only ones you could find you could beat? (Savitar) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 35b35d2 | How wonderful. An Atlantean to eat. (Female Gallu) How wonderful. A bitch to declaw. (Kat) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 4c84d42 | I can't believe this night. I was supposed to be applauded and instead, I'm ruined. I swear to God in heaven if I ever see that man again, I will commit murder. (Tory) Well, if you need help moving the body, you know where Kim and I live. (Pam) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 59979d2 | I wish I had left him as he was. I wish you had told me this would happen. (Amanda) Told you what, Amanda? That the two of you would spend the rest of your lives loving each other? Raising your kis? Neither one of you have any idea how miraculous your life is. How many people would gladly sell their souls for what you have. Forget Artemis and immortality. What you have is infinitely more previous and rare. (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 763e88e | Right, and the definition of basic stupidity is to keep doing the same thing over and over again while expecting a different result. I'm not stupid. (Xypher) I didn't say to keep doing it. Move forward with purpose. Examine what went wrong and correct that one mistake. (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 954323a | My kingdom for a gun. (Geary) You don't have a kingdom. (Brian) And I don't have a gun- looks like I'm shit out of luck all the way around, huh? (Geary) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 3d42a73 | By the time I finish with the two of you, you will be begging me to let you die. (Desiderius) Desi dearest, I have never begged a day in my life, and the sun will surely splinter before I ever plead for anything from the likes of you. (Kyrian) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 4f94b45 | So if the punks come here, they're going to dance with the devil and get the short end of the horn. (Zarek) No one better than my Zarek to rip someone's head off. You two should get along famously. (Astrid) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 891e4c7 | I know you are hurting. Believe me, I know how it feels to get your emotional teeth kicked down your throat so far that it makes you choke on the last shred of your dignity. That sick feeling in your gut that tells you, you can't take it anymore. That life sucks hard and it won't ever get better. That you're walking on the tightrope, trying to hang on with your toes 'cause you ain't got no safety net, and you're barely one sneeze away from .. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 85fcf7a | That an old Charonte custom that go back forever 'casue we a really old race of demons who go back even before forever." She looked over to where Danger's shade glittered in the opposite corner while the former Dark-Huntress was assisting Pam and Kim with the birth, and explained the custom to her. "When a new baby is born you kill off an old annoying family member who gets on everyone's nerves which for all of us would be the heifer-godde.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 1322b5f | We can't change what we've done, but we can always change what we're going to do. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 13fe3f1 | Yeah, but I don't want to be in pain, and I definitely don't want to suffer." - Nick "Well...The only way to avoid them is to die." - Death "Okay, let's change the topic now. Oh, look! A chicken." - Nick" | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| ea5a687 | Je suis ce que je suis." - Death "Is that a spell?" - Nick "It's French, Nick. Means 'I am what I am.' Sheez, kid. Get educated. Read a book. I promise you it's not painful." - Death "I would definitely argue that. Have you seen my summer reading list? It's nothing but girl books about them getting body parts and girl things I don't want to discuss in class with my female English teacher. Maybe in the boys' locker room and maybe with a coa.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| b8c6cd4 | You see, you're doing it again. Telling me nothing. (Tory) You know, trust is always a good idea...for someone else. Every time I've ever made the mistake of trusting someone...it was a mistake that I regretted and paid for dearly. I'm really happy that no one has ever hurt you badly. I haven't been so lucky, okay? (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 1006804 | To quote the Tsalagi, you should never allow your yesterday to use up too much of today. The past is gone and tomorrow is at best a maybe. Live for this moment because it may be all you'll ever have. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| fde7dd3 | Why did Acheron tell you not to talk to Zarek? (Astrid) I don't know. That redheaded bitch-goddess got all angry when he told me to come protect you. It went like this. (She flashed to Acheron's form.) Protect Zarek and Astrid. Now. (She flashed to Artemis's form.) No! You can't let her go, she'll tell Zarek everything. (Simi, looking like Artemis, put her hand against her cheek and whispered loudly to Astrid.) This the part where the redhe.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 167c606 | Living was okay, but it wasn't the breaths people took that measured a life. It was the moments that took those breaths away that mattered the most. And Dev did that every time he looked at her. Naked or not. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| a7c9b95 | You know, the thing about life and love is that they are both ever-changing while people seldom are. (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon |
