| 91f12aa | Come, gentle night; come, loving, black-browed night; Give me my Romeo; and, when I shall die, Take him and cut him out in little stars, And he will make the face of heaven so fine That all the world will be in love with night... | romeo-and-juliet | William Shakespeare | |

| 3bc6e98 | Tell me again what we're doing here," I said, running a continuous scan of our surroundings. Fang popped some Cracker Jack into his mouth. "We're here to watch manly men do manly things."

| eb31e28 | Well, while you were in the bathroom, I sat down at this picnic table here in Bumblefug, Kentucky, and noticed that someone had carved that GOD HATES FAG, which, aside from being a grammatical nightmare, is absolutely ridiculous.

| cc5d6e0 | These people fail to realize that it is on the inside that God must be defended, not on the outside. They should direct their anger at themselves.

You are the blood in my veins, and the beating of my heart. You are my first waking thought, and my last sigh before sleeping. You are .. | sevenwaters | Juliet Marillier | |
| 923154d | A child is not a Christian child, not a Muslim child, but a child of Christian parents or a child of Muslim parents. This latter nomenclature, by the way, would be an excellent piece of consciousness-raising for the children themselves.

When Magnus and I were traveling, and I'd call from the road, Dad never asked how he was. When I get up to talk in Clave meetings, no one listens, and I don't know if that's because I'm young or if it's because of something else.
