| 7fb8eda | You're a beautiful boy, Clay, but that's about it. | bret-easton-ellis life transgressive | Bret Easton Ellis | |

| 22a4043 | a flood of reality. I get an odd feeling that this is a crucial moment in my life and I'm startled by the suddenness of what I guess passes for an epiphany. There is nothing of value I can offer her. For the first time I see her as uninhibited; she seems stronger, less controllable, wanting to take me into a new and unfamiliar land - the dreaded uncertainty of a totally different world. I sense she wants to rearrange my life in a significan.. | Bret Easton Ellis | ||
| 896d956 | People can get accustomed to anything, right? Habit does things to people. | Bret Easton Ellis | ||
| f08159b | I needed something--the distraction of another life--to alleviate fear. | distraction fear life | Bret Easton Ellis | |
| 4d84607 | My nightly blood lust overflowed into my days and I had to leave the city. My mask of sanity was a victim of impending slippage. | Bret Easton Ellis | ||
| c0dd77c | So..." Kimball looks at his book helplessly. "There's nothing you can tell me about Paul Owen?" "Well." I sigh. "He led what I suppose was an orderly life, I guess. " Really stumped, I offer, "He...ate a balanced diet." | Bret Easton Ellis | ||
| aeb9c9d | The Dave Matthews Band's "Crash into Me" played over the montage, not that the lyrics had anything to do with the images the song was played over but it was "haunting", it was "moody", it was "summing things up", it gave the footage an "emotional resonance" that I guess we were incapable of capturing ourselves. At first my feelings were basically so what? But then I suggested other music: "Hurt" by Nine Inch Nails, but I was told that the r.. | soundtrack | Bret Easton Ellis | |
| a7b9f56 | From those of us who are left behind: you will be remembered, you were the one I needed, I loved you in my dreams. | Bret Easton Ellis | ||
| 3239d3f | The heroin flowing through me, I thought about the last time I saw my father alive. He was drunk and overweight in a restaurant in Beverly Hills, and curling into myself on the bed I thought: What if I had done something that day? I had just sat passively in a restaurant booth as the midday light filled the half-empty dining room, pondering a decision. The decision was: should you disarm him? That was the word I remember: disarm. Should you.. | father-and-son | Bret Easton Ellis | |
| 7f2136e | Who is this girl? Why is she alive? Wonder if I should leave right now. Get up and say, 'Goodnight fuck-ups, it's been a sheer sensation and I hope I never see any of you again,' and leave? | Bret Easton Ellis | ||
| a4591a2 | Most importantly we have to promote general social concern and less materialism in young people. | Bret Easton Ellis | ||
| c55ea82 | I want to take you away from this," I say, motioning around the kitchen, spastic. "From sushi and elves and... STUFF." | Bret Easton Ellis | ||
| 5bf6e27 | People just... disappear," he says. "The Earth just opens up and swallows people," I say, some what sadly, checking my Rolex. "Eerie." Kimball yawns, stretching. "Really eerie." "Ominous." I nod my agreement. "It's just"- he sights, exasperated- "futile." | Bret Easton Ellis | ||
| 44b559a | His tiredness hurt so much it kept him awake. | Jonathan Franzen | ||
| 78792ef | Rain Soft rain, summer rain Whispers from bushes, whispers from trees. Oh, how lovely and full of blessing To dream and be satisfied. I was so long in the outer brightness, I am not used to this upheaval: Being at home in my own soul, Never to be led elsewhere. I want nothing, I long for nothing, I hum gently the sounds of childhood, And I reach home astounded In the warm beauty of dreams. Heart, how torn you are, How blessed to plow down b.. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| d29b1e2 | There are numerous ways in which God can make us lonely and lead us back to ourselves. This is the way He dealt with me at the time. It was like a bad dream. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 203976c | Words are really a mask,' he said. 'They rarely express the true meaning; in fact they tend to hide it. If you can live in fantasy, then you don't need religion, since with fantasy you can understand that after death, man is reincorporated in the Universe. Once again I will say that it is not important to know whether there is something beyond this life. What counts is having done the right sort of work; if that is right, then everything el.. | universe | Miguel Serrano | |
| 75da91f | I come with empty hands and the desire to unbuild walls. | Ursula K. Le Guin | ||
| 53277aa | If a book were written all in numbers, it would be true. It would be just. Nothing said in words ever came out quite even. Things in words got twisted and ran together, instead of staying straight and fitting together. But underneath the words, at the center, like the center of the Square, it all came out even. Everything could change, yet nothing would be lost. If you saw the numbers you could see that, the balance, the pattern. You saw th.. | maths physics science | Ursula K. Le Guin | |
| 798dc4f | A dangerous book will always be in danger from those it threatens with the demand that they question their assumptions. They'd rather hang on to the assumptions and ban the book. | Ursula K. Le Guin | ||
| 1f396f3 | Then Manon Blackbeak whirled and brought Wind-Cleaver down upon her grandmother. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 428b29e | Sam stared at her long enough for heat to flood her cheek, as if he could see right inside of her-see everything. The fact that he didn't turn away from whatever he saw made her blood thrum through her veins. | sam | Sarah J. Maas | |
| 52cb89b | said, I see all of you, Rhys. And there is not one part that I do not love with everything that I am. His | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 0cf85b3 | The fear of loss... it can destroy you as much as the loss itself. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| fd6d130 | The girl was alluring. Like wildfire, or a summer storm swept off the Gulf of Oro. | celaena storm summer wildfire | Sarah J. Maas | |
| b020753 | Even if she hadn't slaughtered Baba Yellowlegs, Manon would have killed her just for that spell she'd used to freeze her feet. Etching some foul spell with the man's blood. And now she was going to die. Wind-Cleaver pressed against the queen's blade. But Aelin held her ground and hissed, "I'm going to rip you to shreds." | manon-blackbeak | Sarah J. Maas | |
| 9f7f30c | I knew,' it gasped, sensing my shift in thoughts. 'The tracking...I knew of it.' 'Then why come at all?' 'You...were kind. You...fought your fear. You were...kind.' I began crying. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| bba703d | Aelin, leaning against the half-decayed desk that served as the lone piece of furniture in the room, smirked at him. "I saw you from a distance-once." Galan Ashryver's eyes sparked. "I'm going to assume it was during your former profession and thank you for not killing me." | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| a5f56d9 | It was the sound of Elide's weeping-that girl of quiet steel and quick-silver wit who had not wept for herself or her sorry life, only faced it with grim determination-that made Manon snap entirely. She killed those guards in the hall. She saw what they had been laughing at: the girl gripped between two other guards, her robe tugged opened to reveal her nakedness, the full extent of that ruined leg- Her grandmother had sold them to these pe.. | manon-blackbeak | Sarah J. Maas | |
| 357fd75 | Rowan was watching Chaol as if he might be dinner. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| ab47458 | You could just marry each other," Yrene said, and Dorian whipped his head to her, incredulous. "It'd make it easier for you both, so you don't need to pretend." Chaol gaped at his wife. Yrene shrugged. "And be a strong alliance for our two kingdoms." Dorian knew his face was red when he turned to Manon, apologies and denials on his lips. But Manon smirked at Yrene, her silver-white hair lifting in the breeze, as if reaching for the united p.. | Sarah J. Maas | ||

| 5f0d412 | Lucy said, her nose pressed to the window. "Misunderstanding. No big deal." Solange quirked a half smile. "You might try complete sentences, Lucy." "Can't. Busy." I was curious despite myself. "What are you doing?" "Drooling," Solange explained fondly. "I totally am," Lucy admitted, unrepentant. "Just look at them." Lucy moved over to give me space. She was watching five of the seven Drake boys repairing the outside wall of the farmhouse, u.. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| ffa807a | I'd learned long ago you had to block out the rush of regrets that followed the adrenaline dip after a fight. Otherwise the loop of thoughts could pull you under. Did you just kill someone? Or was it a monster, plain and simple? Did that make you a monster? Was it murder if you were defending yourself? Was it a war and were we just soldiers trying to survive? I preferred the adrenaline rush. (Quinn) | Alyxandra Harvey | ||

| 71d7d65 | I'm sorry, Eve. I love you. I'm not letting you do this." She screamed and battered harder. "You love me? You asshole! Let me go!" | Rachel Caine | ||
