| 21f5da6 | AFTER THEIR FALL INTO TARTARUS, jumping three hundred feet to the Mansion of Night should have felt quick. Instead, Annabeth's heart seemed to slow down. Between the beats she had ample time to write her own obituary. Annabeth Chase, died age 17. BA-BOOM. (Assuming her birthday, July 12, had passed while she was in Tartarus; but honestly, she had no idea.) BA-BOOM. Died of massive injuries while leaping like an idiot into the abyss of Chaos.. | Rick Riordan | ||

| eb2c16a | Otis barreled towards them empty-handed, before apparently realizing that a) he was empty-handed and b) charging towards a large body of water to fight a son of Poseidon was maybe not a good idea. | Rick Riordan | ||
| 54da22b | Just curious how much I'm going for these days," Leo said. "I mean, I can understand not being as pricey as Percy or Jason, maybe...but am I worth, like, two Franks, or three Franks?" | Rick Riordan | ||
| bde0378 | It isn't easy being a brilliant inventor, always alone. Always misunderstood. Easy to turn bitter, make horrible mistakes. People are more difficult to work with than machines. And when you break a person, he can't be fixed. -Hephaestus | inventor olympus percy-jackson-and-the-olympians rick-riordan | Rick Riordan | |
| ffe70ae | I pressed PLAY and started up Chiron's favorite--the All-Time Greatest Hits of Dean Martin. Suddenly the air was filled with violins and a bunch of guys moaning in Italian. The demon pigeons went nuts. They started flying in circles, running into each other like they wanted to bash their own brains out. | humor pigeons | Rick Riordan | |
| 5f6c384 | That Chippendale is a coffee table, Lieutenant, not a footstool." "How do you walk with that stick up your ass?" She left her feet where they were, propped comfortably on the table. "Does it hurt, or does it give you a nice little rush?" "Your dinner guests," he said, curling his lip, "have arrived." "Thank you, Summerset." Roarke got to his feet. "We'll have the hors d'oeuvres in here." He held out a hand to Eve. She waited, deliberately, .. | J.D. Robb | ||
| 2bf32a4 | Assaulting an officer will earn you one to five, Roarke. That's in a cage, not cushy home detention." "You're not wearing your badge. Or anything else, for that matter." He gave her a friendly nip on the chin. "Be sure to put that in your report." | roarke roarke-humor | J.D. Robb | |
| 1f05d9b | For a moment, she let herself forget about the business at hand and smiled at him. "You know, Roarke, you're kind of cute." She realized it was the first time she'd really surprised him. His head came up, and his eyes were startled--for perhaps two heartbeats. Then that sly smile came into them. The one that made her own pulse jitter. "You're going to have to do better than that, lieutenant. I've got you in." "No shit?" Excitement floode.. | J.D. Robb | ||
| f8013f9 | Maybe they're out doing the tango and drinking tequila shots." He sent Eve a grin. "As we will be when we reach their age. After which we'll come home and have mad sex." "For God's sake. This is on the record." "Yes, I know." He stepped off with her on Var's floor. "I wanted those future plans to be official as well." | future-plans on-record roarke | J.D. Robb | |

| 63827fb | She came before she could stop herself, a small pop of release. Panting, she ripped the goggles off and found Peabody gaping at her. "It wasn't a walk on a quiet beach," Eve managed. "I could see that. What was it, exactly?" "A couple of mostly naked guys and a big satin bed." Eve blew out a breath, set the goggles down. "Who'd have thought she relaxed with sex fantasies?" "Ah, Lieutenant. Sir. As your aide, I believe it's my responsibility.. | J.D. Robb | ||

| 15fbb75 | Miss Bingley was very deeply mortified by Darcy's marriage; but as she thought it advisable to retain the right of visiting at Pemberley, she dropt all her resentment; was fonder than ever of Georgiana, almost as attentive to Darcy as heretofore, and paid off every arrear of civility to Elizabeth. Pemberley was now Georgiana's home; and the attachment of the sisters was exactly what Darcy had hoped to see. They were able to love each other.. | Jane Austen | ||
| 3601fe9 | We burn bright, and we burn out. That's what it means to be human. | Elizabeth May | ||
| de2dcd5 | God! I hated this business of being grown-up. I hated having to make decisions where I didn't know what was behind the door. I wanted a world where heroes and villains were clearly labeled. Where ominous music comes on-screen so you can't possibly mistake him. Where someone asks you to choose between playing with the beautiful princess in the fragrant garden and being eaten by the hideous monster in the foul-smelling pit. Not exactly a diff.. | Marian Keyes | ||
| 0efecc3 | You fall in and out of love, but when you really love someone...it's forever. | Sophie Kinsella | ||
| 3b96bf2 | Youth is still where you left it, and that's where it should stay. Anything that was worth taking on life's journey, you'll already have taken with you. | Sophie Kinsella | ||
| 0f05a97 | She had no images of this love. She could offer no anecdotes. It was a belief rather than a memory. | Margaret Atwood | ||
| 91f96af | I sink down into my body as into a swamp, fenland, where only I know the footing.... I'm a cloud, congealed around a central object, the shape of a pear, which is hard and more real than I am and glows red within its translucent wrapping. Inside it is a space, huge as the sky at night and dark and curved like that, though black-red rather than black. | feminist | Margaret Atwood | |
| c0e13e3 | I walk away from him. It's enormously pleasing to me, this walking away. It's like being able to make people appear and vanish, at will. | Margaret Atwood | ||
| d8101fc | The animals have no need for speech, why talk when you are a word. | Margaret Atwood | ||
| 67139ef | TO COME HOME TO YOURSELF May all that is unforgiven in you Be released. May your fears yield Their deepest tranquillities. May all that is unlived in you Blossom into a future Graced with love. | John O'Donohue | ||
| 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." | love romance | 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."

| 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. | christ christian god inspirational jesus lord lordship love 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. | salvation sanctification | 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 | ||

| 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 | ||
| 4bc2158 | For {she} had adopted the standard of the young: what there was in the moment was everything. And moments followed one another without necessarily belonging to one another. | D.H. Lawrence |
