| 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.

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.

| 683bdbf | On Monday they went out for a private picnic. On Tuesday they went for a carriage drive. On Wednesday they went to pick bluebells. On Thursday they fished at the lake, returning with damp clothes and sun-glazed complexions, laughing together at a joke they didn't share with anyone else.

| 12044c4 | He was so far from the gallant knights in her romantic fantasies ... He was tarnished, scarred, imperfect.

| c21c1b7 | How many of us have gazed at a man and thought, 'yes, him,' only to have him pay his attentions to someone else?
