| 285c1a7 | Derek, if a boy wanted to take away a girl's power by having sex with her, what would you think about it?" "I'd break something. His leg. Maybe his arm." He squeezed the wire tighter. "Probably wouldn't kill him unless he wanted to make an issue of it." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 0cef261 | But then I didn't run from my challenges. I met them straight on and bashed my head against them, until it left me hurt, bloody, and dazed. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 159f3ed | Grigorii spared a single glance in his brother's direction. If looks were daggers, that one would've sliced straight through the volhv's heart. "Here it comes. 'My oldest son . . .'" "Is a doctor," Evdokia finished in a singsong voice. "And my daughter is an attorney." Vasiliy raised his chin. "Jealousy is bad for you. Poisons the heart." "Aha!" Evdokia slapped the table. "How about your youngest, the musician? How is he doing?" "Yes, what .. | Ilona Andrews | ||

| c44b708 | That's a well-thought out layout," Caldenia said. "But why pink marble?" She waved at the ceiling. "Pink marble, white ceiling, golden accents... With the electric lighting it will turn into this ghastly orange." "I had one chance to impress the Arbiter and I had to improvise." Caldenia arched one eyebrow. "I saw it in a movie once," I explained. "It was easy to visualize." "Was it a movie for adults?" "It had a talking candelabra who was f.. | sweep-in-peace | Ilona Andrews | |
| 432574a | You are not special. You don't get to not show up. You don't get to avoid difficult decisions. You get to climb into the muck with the rest of us. So, you want to be in charge, fine. Reach deep down, find a backbone, and handle your own shit. Otherwise, step down and make way for someone who would actually matter. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| f8a93f3 | Kate?" I have a superior reaction time. That was why although I shot out of my chair, jumped onto my desk, and attempted to stab the intruder into my office in the throat, I stopped the blade two inches before it touched Andrea's neck. Because she was my best friend, and sticking knives into your best friend's windpipe was generally considered to be a social faux pas. Andrea stared at the black blade of the throwing dagger. "That was great,.. | kate | Ilona Andrews | |

| 6d851ff | They dismissed me as a peasant, I dismissed them as shallow, and we were all happy like that. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| e9be974 | The door swung open and Kate walked in. Her jeans and T-shirt were splattered with blood and she was carrying a severed vampire head. The T-shirt has a smiley face on it. | Ilona Andrews | ||

| 40a9e04 | What is the connection between you and our handsome host? Aunt B asked. Blackberries taste much worse when they try to come back up your throat. "Uhhh..." "Uhhh is not an answer," Keira informed me. Andre must not have told her about Hugh, and I had no desire to explain who my dad was. "We never met but we were trained by the same person. Now he works for a very powerful man who will kill me if he finds me." "Why?" Keira asked. "It's a fami.. | forbidden-fruit hugh-d-ambray kate-daniels keira | Ilona Andrews | |
| 783f127 | You call that evening the odds? You demolished them." Demolished. He liked that. "I left you one." "I noticed." "I promised to share," he told her. "Manners are very important in the Weird. Lying would be quite impolite." | cerise ilona-andrews odds the-edge william | Ilona Andrews | |

| 5635b38 | Stupid. Stupid. Foaly, we are both imbeciles. I don't expect lateral thinking from the LEP, but from you..." ... "What is it?" [Holly] asked, afraid of the answer, which must surely be terrible. "Yeah," agreed Foaly, who always had time to feel insulted. "Why am I an imbecile?" | foaly holly humor | Eoin Colfer | |
| b7ce839 | Every good quality runs into a defect; economy borders on avarice, the generous are not far from the prodigal, the brave man is close to the bully; he who is very pious is slightly sanctimonious; there are just as many vices to virtue as there are holes in the mantle of Diogenes. | Victor Hugo | ||
| 08425c8 | Brothers, he who dies here dies in the radiance of the future, and we are entering a tomb all flooded with the dawn. | les-misérables | Victor Hugo | |

| d59d736 | I'll tell you truly: I value my thought and work terribly, but in essence - think about it - this whole world of ours is just a bit of mildew that grew over a tiny planet. And we think we can have something great - thoughts, deeds! They're all grains of sand | Leo Tolstoy | ||
| 58e3735 | When a man sees a dying animal, horror comes over him: that which he himself is, his essence, is obviously being annihilated before his eyes--is ceasing to be. But when the dying one is a person, and a beloved person, then, besides a sense of horror at the annihilation of life, there is a feeling of severance and a spiritual wound which, like a physical wound, sometimes kills and sometimes heals, but always hurts and fears any external, irr.. | Leo Tolstoy | ||
| e0a68b8 | And there in the middle, high above Prechistensky Boulevard, amidst a scattering of stars on every side but catching the eye through its closeness to the earth, its pure white light and the long uplift of its tail, shone the comet, the huge, brilliant comet of 1812, that popular harbinger of untold horrors and the end of the world. But this bright comet with its long, shiny tail held no fears for Pierre. Quite the reverse: Pierre's eyes gli.. | Leo Tolstoy | ||

| 9b5a6d1 | Can I see some ID?" "WE DON'T HAVE ID," said Jay, loudly. "'CAUSE WE'RE CANADIAN. WE DON'T USE ID...THERE. AND THAT'S WHY WE LOOK SO YOUNG. 'CAUSE WE'RE CANADIAN." Doug stiffened. Jay sounded crazy. Doug tried looking extra sane to even things out." | canadian crazy funny sane | Adam Rex | |
| 553d665 | I hold another creed, which no one ever taught me, and which I seldom mention, but in which I delight, and to which I cling, for it extends hope to all; it makes eternity a rest - a mighty home, not a terror and an abyss. Besides, with this creed, I can so clearly distinguish between the criminal and his crime; I can so sincerely forgive the first while I abhor the last; with this creed, revenge never worries my heart, degradation never too.. | creed | Charlotte Brontë | |
| 84acdf0 | Self abandoned, relaxed and effortless, I seemed to have laid me down in the dried-up bed of a great river; I heard a flood loosened in remote mountains, I felt the torrent come; to rise I had no will, to flee I had no strength. | god helplessness | Charlotte Brontë | |
| 58a7e20 | I soon forgot storm in music. | Charlotte Brontë | ||
| f92195c | I like the spirit of this great London which I feel around me. Who but a coward would pass his whole life in hamlets; and for ever abandon his faculties to the eating rust of obscurity? | travel | Charlotte Brontë | |
| 4726946 | Scarlett's mind went back through the years to the still hot noon at Tara when grey smoke curled above a blue-clad body and Melanie stood at the top of the stairs with Charles' sabre in her hand. Scarlett remembered that she had thought at the time: 'How silly! Melly couldn't even heft that sword!' But now she knew that had the necessity arisen, Melanie would have charged down those stairs and killed the Yankee - or been killed herself. | Margaret Mitchell | ||
| 1f1b0a5 | It's a curse - this not wanting to look on naked realities. Until the war, life was never more real to me than a shadow show on a curtain. And I preferred it so. I do not like the outlines of things to be too sharp. I like them gently blurred, a little hazy. | Margaret Mitchell | ||

| 7f14c10 | She had never understood either of the men she had loved and so she had lost them both. Now, she had a fumbling knowledge that, had she ever understood Ashley, she would never have loved him; had she ever understood Rhett, she would never have lost him. | love | Margaret Mitchell | |

| 3d3ee78 | Those dripping crumpets, I can see them now. Tiny crisp wedges of toast, and piping-hot, flaky scones. Sandwiches of unknown nature, mysteriously flavoured and quite delectable, and that very special gingerbread. Angel cake, that melted in the mouth, and his rather stodgier companion, bursting with peel and raisins. There was enough food there to keep a starving family for a week. | cake food meals sandwiches tea | Daphne du Maurier | |
| a3cf183 | We can see the film stars of yesterday in yesterday's films, hear the voices of poest and singers on a record, keep the plays of dead dramatists upon our bookshelves, but the actor who holds his audience captive for one brief moment upon a lighted stage vanishes forever when the curtain falls. | plays | Daphne du Maurier | |
| 6c77361 | Nine had heard whisperings that the secretive Bilderberg Group was effectively the World Government, undermining democracy by influencing everything from nations' political leaders to the venue for the next war. He recalled persistent rumors and confirmed media reports that the Bilderberg Group had such luminaries as Barack Obama, Prince Charles, Bill Gates, Rupert Murdoch, Tony Blair, Bill and Hillary Clinton, George Bush Sr. and George W... | amazon-com barack-obama bilderberg bill-clinton clinton conspiracy conspiracy-theories conspiracy-theory facebook george-w-bush google hillary-clinton microsoft morcan the-ninth-orphan the-orphan-trilogy thriller tony-blair | James Morcan | |
| a1e1219 | Elder mocked me for praying once, and i spent an hour berating him for that. He ended up throwing up his hands, laughing, and telling me i could believe whatever i wanted if i was going to hold onto my beliefs so hard. | beliefs faith | Beth Revis | |

| bef52c1 | There's a peculiar dichotomy in the nature of almost anyone who calls himself a historian. Such scholars all piously assure us that they're telling us the real truth about what really happened, but if you turn any competent historian over and look at his damp underside, you'll find a storyteller, and you can believe me when I tell you that no storyteller's ever going to tell a story without a few embellishments. Add to that the fact that we.. | David Eddings |
