| 399747d | West Young. My West Young. The guy who fought for me when Conner and his friend tried to jump me. The guy who took on a fight to help save my family. The guy who held me while I mourned my own losses. That's West Young. The man I'm falling for. | west | Katie McGarry | |
| 16035f7 | I'm in love with you" Finally, the girl looks at me. "What?" "I don't know." I gesture to the house, the yard, the dirt surrounding us. "I'm not sure what suggested romance. Maybe it was the screaming match or the way my girlfriend kicked my ass to the ground, but I love you." Her mouth gapes. "I...I..." "I don't want you to say it back now. One of us should have some class." | romance love | Katie McGarry | |
| 8b745b7 | I'm sorry I'm slow." He brushes my hair over my shoulder. "You're not slow." I raise an eyebrow. "I'm serious." When he sees I'm unconvinced, he rubs at his stubble and starts again. "I don't want you to give any more than you want. What makes this special is that you're into it. The moment you aren't, that's where I become a bastard for asking for more. I'm telling you, I've got no problem taking it slow." | Katie McGarry | ||
| 93c5abd | Wait." I began to pull off his jacket. "You forgot this." "Keep it," he said without looking back. "I'll get it from you on Monday. When we discuss tutoring." And Noah Hutchins - girl-using stoner boy and jacket-loaning savior - faded into the shadows." | echo-and-noah katie-mcgarry echo-emerson noah-hutchins pushing-the-limits sweet | Katie McGarry | |
| 4d604a2 | Juilin," she asked hesitantly, "what were you going to do with the salt and cooking oil? Not exactly," she added more quickly. "Just a general idea." He looked at her for a moment. "I do not know. But they did not, either. That is the trick of it; their minds made up worse then I ever could. I have seen a tough man break when I sent for a basket of figs and some mice." | Robert Jordan | ||
| e7b48ff | I have lived for four centures," he said. "Perhaps I am still a youth, in that all of us are, compared to the timeless age of the Wheel itself. That said, I am one of the oldest people in existence." Moiraine smiled. "Very nice. Does that work on the others?" He hesitated. Then, oddly, he found himself grinning. "It worked pretty well on Cadsuane." Moiraine sniffed. "That one...Well, knowing her, I doubt you fooled her as well as you assume.. | Robert Jordan | ||
| 2c5d844 | When you saw me with a dagger in hand - as if to throw at you - you didn't call for your guards. You didn't fear I was here to kill you. You looked over your shoulder to see what I was aiming at. That's the most loving gesture I think a man could receive from a woman. Unless you'd like to sit on my knee for a while... | Robert Jordan | ||
| 4c626d2 | But it was an ending. | Robert Jordan | ||
| 25f6771 | Until the will and the affections are brought under the authority of Christ, we have not begun to understand, let alone accept, His Lordship. The Cross, as it enters the love life, will reveal the heart's truth. | jesus god love inspirational lordship lord christian christ will | Elisabeth Elliot | |
| d3321af | One does not surrender a life in an instant. That which is lifelong can only be surrendered in a lifetime. Nor is surrender to the will of God (per se) adequate to fullness of power in Christ. Maturity is the accomplishment of years, and I can only surrender to the will of God as I know what that will is. | sanctification salvation | Elisabeth Elliot | |
| f6cb8a1 | Women still dream and hope, pin their emotions on some man who doesn't reciprocate, and end up in confusion. | Elisabeth Elliot | ||
| e9b15aa | Great loves have legs and wings. They are substantial. They do not dissapate so easily... Great loves have staying power. Or so I told myself. | Erica Jong | ||
| 70573f8 | Women are their own worst enemies. And guilt is the main weapon of self-torture...Show me a woman who doesn't feel guilty and I'll show you a man. | Erica Jong | ||
| 47623ba | But the fact is, she [the muse] won't be summoned. She alights when it damn well pleases her. She falls in love with one artist, then deserts him for another. She's a real bitch! | Erica Jong | ||
| 11894d3 | Each path to knowledge involves different rules and these rules are not interchangeable. | Barack Obama | ||
| 0d9b0e3 | The meaning of my existence is that life has addressed a question to me. Or, conversely, I myself am a question which is addressed to the world, and I must communicate my answer, for otherwise I am dependent upon the world's answer. | C.G. Jung | ||
| 2c66ad6 | You open the gates of the soul to let the dark flood of chaos flow into your order and meaning. If you marry the ordered to the chaos you produce the divine child, the supreme meaning beyond meaning and meaninglessness. | C.G. Jung | ||
| 416e226 | Man, as we realize if we reflect for a moment, never perceives anything fully or comprehends anything completely. | C.G. Jung | ||

| d86f792 | I loved taking off. In my own house, I seemed to be often looking for a place to hide - sometimes from the children but more often from the jobs to be done and the phone ringing and the sociability of the neighborhood. I wanted to hide so that I could get busy at my real work, which was a sort of wooing of distant parts of myself. | Alice Munro | ||
| 47c45af | What can I do to help thee?" he asked. "Believe there is a tomorrow." | James Clavell | ||
| 8a73161 | This possibility was not flattering to me; it was terrifying. There were other things a guy could think I was, and he wouldn't be entirely wrong - nice, or loyal, or maybe interesting. Not that I was always any of those thing, but in certain situations, it was conceivable. But to be seen as pretty was to be fundamentally misunderstood. First of all, I wasn't pretty, and on top of that I didn't take care of myself like a pretty girl did; I w.. | Curtis Sittenfeld | ||
| 8dcdb72 | Being raised in an unstable household makes you understand that the world doesn't exist to accommodate you, which... is something a lot of people struggle to understand well into their adulthood. It makes you realize how quickly a situation can shift, how danger really is everywhere. But crises when the occur, do not catch you off guard; you have never believed you lived under a shelter of some essential benevolence. And an unstable childho.. | Curtis Sittenfeld | ||

| 43b033f | She was a genius of sadness, immersing herself in it, separating its numerous strands, appreciating its subtle nuances. | Jonathan Safran Foer | ||
| caff76d | It would be possible, in theory, for life and art to be reversed. | Jonathan Safran Foer | ||
| 7c661f0 | I'm so afraid of losing something I love that I refuse to love anything,' maybe that would have made the impossible possible. Maybe, but I couldn't do it, I had buried too much too deeply inside me. And here I am, instead of there. | love | Jonathan Safran Foer | |
| 84af0a8 | Pessimism is too easy, even delicious, the badge and plume of intellectuals everywhere. It absolves the thinking classes of solutions. We excite ourselves with dark thoughts in plays, poems, novels, movies. | Ian McEwan | ||
| 002eb99 | I'm holding back, delaying the information. I'm lingering in the prior moment because it was a time when other outcomes were still possible. | Ian McEwan | ||
| 97cfeee | Don't despair, not even over the fact that you don't despair. Just when everything seems over with, new forces come marching up, and precisely that means that you are alive. And if they don't, then everything is over with here, once and for all. | Franz Kafka | ||
| 8e966ac | All this time he was sitting up in bed and looking at the woman who was lying beside him and holding his hand in her sleep. He felt an ineffable love for her. Her sleep must have been very light at the moment because she opened her eyes and gazed up at him questioningly. "What are you looking at?" she asked. He knew that instead of waking her he should lull her back to sleep, so he tried to come up with an answer that would plant the image.. | Milan Kundera | ||

| 920f35b | Revolution in Love'. Can you tell me what you mean by that? Do you want free love as against bourgeois marriage, or monogamy as against bourgeois promiscuity? | marriage love promiscuity monogamy | Milan Kundera | |
| c1d8f01 | Man reckons with immortality, and forgets to reckon with death. | Milan Kundera | ||
| d9c5d4f | She was aware that in love even the most passionate idealism will not rid the body's surface of its terrible, basic importance. | sex relationships love image | Milan Kundera | |
| 4634245 | Speed is the form of ecstasy the technical revolution has bestowed on man. As opposed to a motorcyclist, the runner is always present in his body, forever required to think about his blisters, his exhaustion; when he runs he feels his weight, his age, more conscious than ever of himself and of his time of life. This all changes when man delegates the faculty of speed to a machine: from then on, his own body is outside the process, and he gi.. | Milan Kundera | ||
| c68da8b | For how can we condemn something that is ephemeral, in transit? In the sunset of dissolution, everything is illuminated by the aura of nostalgia, even the guillotine. | Milan Kundera | ||

| 933f25c | Where would David Copperfield be if Dickens had gone to writing classes? Probably about seventy minor characters short, is where.
