| 1c63b32 | I admit that twice two makes four is an excellent thing, but if we are to give everything its due, twice two makes five is sometimes a very charming thing too. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 3e9b03a | In every idea emanating from genius, or even in every serious human idea -- born in the human brain -- there always remains something -- some sediment -- which cannot be expressed to others, though one wrote volumes and lectured upon it for five-and-thirty years. There is always a something, a remnant, which will never come out from your brain, but will remain there with you, and you alone, for ever and ever, and you will die, perhaps, with.. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| a0a94ef | Full freedom will come only when it makes no difference whether to live or not to live. That's the goal for everyone. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| 6401f7f | Man is unhappy because he doesn't know he's happy; only because of that. | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | ||
| e38894a | Il ya toute une vie dans une heure d'amour. | Honoré de Balzac | ||
| 61330e3 | Mais Paris est un veritable ocean. Jetez-y la sonde, vous n'en connaitrez jamais la profondeur. Parcourez-le, decrivez-le : quelque soin que vous mettiez a le parcourir, a le decrire ; quelques nombreux et interesses que soient les explorateurs de cette mer, il s'y rencontrera toujours un lieu vierge, un antre inconnu, des fleurs, des perles, des monstres, quelque chose d'inoui, oublie par les plongeurs litteraires. | Honoré de Balzac | ||
| a7f6852 | A thousand times today I've started to open my mouth, started to squeak out, "Can you tell me...? But then I'd look into the front seat, at my mother's silent shaking, my father's grim profile, the mournful bags under his eyes, and all the questions I might ask seemed abusive. Assault and battery, a question mark used like a club. My parents are old and fragile. I'd have to heartless to want to hurt them." | crying discomfort fear feelings parents protectiveness silence suppress | Margaret Peterson Haddix | |
| c48a8ca | We fought over the bill when it came. By fought I mean: I insisted loudly on paying half and he responded with beleaguered silence. Instead of discussing it or attempting to engage in my one-sided conversation, he wordlessly put his credit card in the holder; he kept it carefully out of my reach as I continued to list all the reasons we should split the check, not the least of which was that we'd agreed earlier that this was not a date, the.. | Penny Reid | ||
| 983512d | When the leader lacks confidence, the followers lack commitment. | John C. Maxwell | ||
| 8e8ecca | Life would be so much easier if, when we hit a snag in a relationship, any relationship, we would stop, address it, and move ahead smoothly. The truth is, in most cases, we could do just that. The reality is, we don't do it! We keep moving. We allow little insults to become raging angers, little arguments to become festering feuds, little pains to become deep wounds, and we keep moving. In many cases, we keep hurting. When the relationship .. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| 6b8bd8c | Oh. It's Fraser. James Alexander Malcolm MacKenzie Fraser." He pronounced it formally, each name slow and distinct. Completely flustered, I said "Claire Elizabeth Beauchamp," and stuck out my hand idiotically. Apparently taking this as a plea for support, he took the hand and tucked it firmly into the crook of his elbow. Thus inescapably pinioned, I squelched up the path to my wedding." | Diana Gabaldon | ||
| 4241f5c | In an average day, you may well be confronted with some species of bullying or bigotry, or some ill-phrased appeal to the general will, or some petty abuse of authority. If you have a political loyalty, you may be offered a shady reason for agreeing to a lie or a half-truth that serves some short-term purpose. Everybody devises tactics for getting through such moments; try behaving "as if" they need not be tolerated and are not inevitable." | freethought philosophy | Christopher Hitchens | |
| 6d2bd54 | Cheap booze is a false economy. | economy value wisdom | Christopher Hitchens | |
| 147ff1f | People can numb themselves, get used to anything. | Craig Clevenger | ||

| 09dd12a | Those who have no absolute values cannot let the relative remain merely relative; they are always raising it to the level of the absolute. | Flannery O'Connor | ||
| 8e01829 | Show no fear to your enemies. Only contempt. Never let anyone look down on you. You're just as good as any of them. I don't care who they are. Better in fact. In our world, Dagans are royalty and you, my son, are a prince. | no-fear | Sherrilyn Kenyon | |
| d857cdd | No Daimon gets out of here alive. (They hit the invisible wall and rebounded off it.) Man. It really makes you feel for the bug on the windshield, doesn't it? (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| f0f3621 | Looks like I'm going to ruin your day, Big Boy. I choose to live my crappy life a little longer. (Susan) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 7c7e8a3 | I'm a goddess of destruction. Tell me honestly that you find nothing exciting about the idea of a billion people screaming out for mercy when there's no one left who cares what befalls them. Of the entire earth being rained on by all manner of demons bent on ultimate torture and sacrifice. Them ripping and shredding human flesh as they claw in a drunken frenzy fueled by their hatred of everything. Drinking blood in an orgy of terror...ahhh,.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| cc5b108 | To protect the world as we know it, there were three races of hunters created to police and destroy the Daimons. We are called the Pyramid of Protection. Dark-Hunters pursue those who feed on humans, blood, and souls. Dream-Hunters go after the energy- and dreamsuckers, and Were-Hunters stalk the slayers. (Talon) I guess what I don't understand is why you don't have one group that does it all. (Amanda) Because we can't. If one person or gro.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 2f0197a | You're a slave? (Eleni) I was. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come here. (Acheron) Take your cloak off and sit, Acheron. You've done nothing to apologize for. I admire you all the more for stopping to help us. It's nothing for a nobleman to do so, yet they seldom bother to help those less fortunate. For a freedman to speak up in defense of another takes great courage and character. What you did is all the more noble and kind, and I would be ho.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| efb4a1e | Beautiful. You can be taught. Makes my job so much easier when you're actually intelligent. You'd be amazed at the idiots I've come across." - Death "I try to keep my stupid to a bare minimum, since my mom's always telling me it can be fatal in large doses." - Nick "Oh, she's right. Believe me, I know. For that matter, it can be fatal even in small measures. Remind me sometime to tell you about the woman I claimed who was vacuuming her cat.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 9f0c632 | For a woman who can handle herself so well in a fight, I can't believe you got taken out by a defenseless doorjamb. (Ravyn) Given the size of my goose egg, I would argue the defenseless part. That doorjamb has a mean left hook.(Susan) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 37b66cb | You freaking, flippin', moronic frat boy! | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 407527d | Here we are. Maybe I should warn you before we enter...(Asmodeus) (Jericho stepped past him and threw open the door.) Or maybe not. Let's just barge in and be surprised, shall we? (Asmodeus) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 46ecd82 | This is where Wulf's people would get drunk and party for a week. All hail the Vikings, forerunners to the frat boys! (Chris) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 15745dc | You can party, but I better not catch you drunk. (Wulf) (Chris rolled his eyes, then bent down to said to Cassandra's stomach...) Be wise, little guy, stay in there where Lord King Neurotic can't kill all your fun. (Chris) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| d376dd7 | Goodnight baby, sleep in peace. After you kill that bitch!" "Goodnight mom!" | scifi | Sherrilyn Kenyon | |
| f930fe6 | Rule One, boy: shoot first then ask questions Rulw Two, Double tap just for good measure. Better safe then sorry. -Bubba | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| eeefd45 | You have a lot of faith in luck, don't you? (Shahara) Not at all. She's a vicious bitch who seldom knocks on my door. (Syn) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 70f6303 | The point is, Sin is now going to try to overthrow me again and take my place. Do you know what that means? (Artemis) There will be much rejoicing? (Kat) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 4ccd515 | Kitten, when did you get so tall? (Ravyn) I grew while you were in the bathroom. (Erika) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 92965c5 | Thank you, Shay. (Syn) For what? (Shahara) For looking into the eyes of nothing and seeing a man you could love. (Syn) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 5751824 | He was Death, and he'd ridden in on a pale horse... | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 501c0aa | Akri hides from no one. He don't need to. Anyone hurt my akri, I eat them. (Simi) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 3bd938e | That is the beauty of memory, isn't it? Our reality is always clouded by our perceptions of truth. (Mnimi) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 4278497 | You want me here. (Artemis) Yeah, like an alien rectal probe up my sphincter.' (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| b0b0ac8 | No offense, but I'm getting stir-crazy. Can we please go downstairs and hang in the bar or do anything that keeps me from sitting here bored out of my mind while the three of you watch me grow eyebrow hair? I mean really, I am fine. I'm not going to spontaneously combust or do anything else freaky. Promise. (Tory) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 50dc3b1 | Where did you find an Andarion? I've never seen one on Gouran before. Aren't you afraid to be with him? (Sales woman) Why no, I'm not afraid. He's already had his daily feeding. (Kiara) What do you feed him? (Sales woman) Babies. Lots and lots of babies. (Kiara) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| ee73c6b | What fools these mortals be. (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 0c48697 | I never lied to you. (Kiara) Of course you did -you said you could see the real us- that we weren't as bad as we claimed. But you didn't and, just like everyone else, so long as we risk our lives to protect and save you, we're okay. But the moment we have to make a choice not ours, the moment you see what our pasts have made us, you're horrified by the truth and hate us for it like we had some kind of choice in what we are. (Syn) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 30f9566 | Every life, no matter how isolated, touches hundred of others. It's up to us to decide if those micro connections are positive or negative. But whichever we decide, it does impact the ones we deal with. | Sherrilyn Kenyon |
