| dcf85c6 | I don't know any more about the future than you do. I hope that it will be full of work, because I have come to know by experience that work is the nearest thing to happiness that I can find. . . I want a busy life, a just mind and a timely death. | Zora Neale Hurston | ||
| a12186b | Mystery is the essence of divinity | Zora Neale Hurston | ||
| 679470d | There is two things everybody got to find out for theirselves. They got to find out about love and they got to find out about living. | Zora Neale Hurston | ||
| a1d02a0 | Allowances can always be made for your friends to disagree with you. Disagreement, vehement disagreement, is healthy. Debate is impossible without it. Evil does not question itself, only hope questions itself. Even the incorruptible are corruptible if they cannot accept the possibility of being mistaken. Infallibility is a sin in any man. All laws can be broken and are. Often. Like when a bumblebee flies or an ancient regime is toppled. | life-lessons | Craig Ferguson | |
| a429d3c | Every breath I breathe is because of you.' His eyes flickered, still peering into mine. 'Even when you weren't there to save me, you were my reason to breathe. And for that I will always love you. Always. | evan-mathews | Rebecca Donovan | |

| df36e37 | Merit. Have you finally decided to ditch the zero and get with the hero?" Ethan cleared his throat--loudly--while I bit back a smile. I didn't see anything wrong with reminding Ethan that I had other options. Even if they were slightly goofy options I'd never actually take advantage of." | Chloe Neill | ||
| 91c9cb5 | Vamps are really only like ten percent fun at any given time. The other ninety percent is largely fretting. And bloodletting. | Chloe Neill | ||
| ae9b1ff | I stood Sentinel of Cadogan House, by God. He was mine, and he knew it, and I would claim what was mine. | Chloe Neill | ||
| b74df99 | It was a chef's knife," I said, holding my hands about a foot apart. "And a very large one." "That's what she said," Ethan murmured." | Chloe Neill | ||
| f4590cc | Official Washington cannot tell the American people that the real purpose of its gargantuan military expenditures and belligerent interventions is to make the world safe for General Motors, General Electric, General Dynamics, and all the other generals. | militarism corporatism imperialism united-states | Michael Parenti | |
| e41fcc8 | Not to abide in Jesus' love would mean that we stop believing that we are loved by Jesus. We look at our circumstances - perhaps persecution or disease or abandonment - and we conclude that we are not loved by Jesus anymore. That's the opposite of abiding in the love of Jesus. So abiding in his love means continuing to believe, moment by moment, that we are loved. | John Piper | ||
| e81d453 | God seldom calls us for an easier life, but always calls us to know more of him and drink more deeply of His sustaining grace. | John Piper | ||

| 2e634dc | Endurance: It is the spirit which can bear things, not simply with resignation, but with blazing hope. It is the quality which keeps a man on his feet with his face to the wind. It is the virtue which can transmute the hardest trial into glory because beyond the pain it sees the goal. | Anonymous | ||
| 2cb3af7 | But behold, the Lord hath redeemed my soul from hell; I have beheld his glory, and I am encircled about eternally in the arms of his love. | religious | Anonymous | |
| 198ae39 | Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the Kingdom of Heaven. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God. Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the ch.. | Anonymous | ||
| d311de3 | To know who I am is a species of knowing where I stand. My identity is defined by the commitments and identifications which provide the frame or horizon within which I can try to determine from case to case what is good, or valuable, or what ought to be done, or what I endorse or oppose. In other words, it is the horizon within which I am capable of taking a stand. | self-identity self | Charles Taylor | |

| 528d789 | She didn't want soft and gentle. She needed his rough possession, claiming her, branding her, taking her in a firestorm of heat and flame that would end the world around them, leaving them nothing but ashes, clean and fierce and forever welded together. | sex romance rough-sex sexy | Christine Feehan | |
| 23dc6cb | Music burst through him, perfect notes he hear rarely. Fire and ice, wind and calm, sky and earth, water and rock all fused together. Joley seemed as wild and turbulent s the sea, yet beneath her fiery passion, at the very core of her, she was as forceful and strong and as constant as the deepest ocean currents. Ilya seemed as calm as a windless sea, yet beneath the surface smoldered a volcano of such explosive magnitude, his power could ea.. | wind perfect harmony sea | Christine Feehan | |
| d3261ba | I know you so well, dragon king, you only get that particular look on your face when you're burning to give me one of your lectures." "Do I give you lectures ?" "Oh, I don't mind. I think you're kind of cute when you do, and I don't really listen anyway." | Christine Feehan | ||
| a406d2d | Cute? You think he's cute? What's cute about him? ... Well, yes. He's got that smile, that really bad boy smile, and a great backside. On page eighty of the relationship manual, it clearly states, you cannot look at another man's backside, especially if you think it's great. | Christine Feehan | ||
| 95308c9 | And Ken said I can't marry you." Jack felt his heart jump in his chest. He glanced at his sleeping brother. "Did he say why?" "Yes." She kept her voice sober. "He said you have to ask me properly." Relief made him weak. His pulse beat at his temples, throbbed in his neck. For one moment his fingers closed in her hair in a tight fist. "Properly? If I ask, you might say no, so I'm thinking we'll just start off right and I'll tell you and we'l.. | Christine Feehan | ||
| bd917e7 | And I could see this boy doing his homework and thinking about my sister naked. And I could see them holding hands at football games that they do not watch. And I could see this boy throwing up in the bushes at a party house. And I could see my sister putting up with it. And I felt very bad for both of them. | Stephen Chbosky | ||

| 7eb723d | I don't run for trains." Snub your destiny. I have taught myself to resist running to keep on schedule. This may seem a very small piece of advice, but it registered. In refusing to run to catch trains, I have felt the true value of elegance and aesthetics in behavior, a sense of being in control of my time, my schedule, and my life. Missing a train is only painful if you run after it! Likewise, not matching the idea of success others expec.. | Nassim Nicholas Taleb | ||
| 791bf0c | I propose that if you want a simple step to a higher form of life, as distant from the animal as you can get, then you may have to denarrate, that is, shut down the television set, minimize time spent reading newspapers, ignore the blogs. Train your reasoning abilities to control your decisions; nudge System 1 (the heuristic or experiential system) out of the important ones. Train yourself to spot the difference between the sensational and .. | Nassim Nicholas Taleb | ||

| 8ad7f75 | I'm supposed to be a christian, but most days I don't feel like I can even presume to say that about myself any longer. I have a lot of mad left over. When I can't sleep, I think about the other people who didn't care how much pain and trouble they caused me. And I think about how good I'd feel if they died. | sookie-stackhouse | Charlaine Harris | |
| 5b1206b | Let's be shameless. Be greedy. Pursue pleasure. Avoid pain. Wear and touch and eat and drink what we feel like. Tolerate other women's choices. Seek out the sex we want and fight fiercely against the sex we do not want. Choose our own causes And once we break through and change the rules so our sense of our own beauty cannot be shaken, sing that beauty and dress it up and flaunt it and revel in it. | Naomi Wolf |
