| 2fd6ced | I didn't know how much I could love until you were gone. Until your laughter no longer filled my home, your wicked high jinks no longer made me crazy. Until I stood in that damned club and knew, without you by side, my life was as empty as my bed was without you in it. I didn't know what love was, until I saw my refusal to admit it drown all the sweet innocence in your eyes. I love you. | love | Lora Leigh | |

| 7a7970a | No, I do not weep at the world. I'm too busy sharpening my oyster knife. | Zora Neale Hurston | ||
| 40acf20 | How inexplicable it seems. Anything else will be accepted as a better excuse. If one sets aside time for a business appointment, a trip to the hairdresser, a social engagement or a shopping expedition, that time is accepted as inviolable. But if one says: I cannot come because that is my hour to be alone, one is considered rude, egotistical or strange. | Anne Morrow Lindbergh | ||
| c5a47db | I want you to know it was no big deal...those movies showing women screaming in labor are plain bullshit....there's nothing to it...you just push and push and finally the baby pops out...to tell you the truth I don't even rember that much about it except there was a very nice guy standing over me and every time a strong contraction started he gave me a whiff of gas... | Judy Blume | ||

| 2e3d06b | What do zombies chant at a riot?" "Grrarphsnarg?" he asked, in a surprisingly well-done bit of mindless zombie imitating. "No, but that was really good. Disconcertingly good." "I was deceased for a time." "True. But anyway, the rioters get all riled up, and they chant: 'What do we want? Brains! When do we want them? Brains!'" I fell into a wave of appropriately boisterous laughter; Ethan seemed less impressed. "I truly hope the stipend we p.. | Chloe Neill | ||
| d58d6f9 | Seriously, I'm totally weirded out by the girly nature of this conversation. And yet, it's kinda like you're growing up. Do you think Judy Blume made a book about adolescent vampires? Are You There God, It's Me, Merit?" Mallory snorted, obviously pleased with herself." | friday-night-bites vampire | Chloe Neill | |
| 89590a8 | Vampires were hardly the monsters we were made out to be in fairy tales and television shows. We were hardly different from humans, but for the genetic mutation, fangs, silvering eyes, and periodic penchant for blood. What? I said hardly different. | Chloe Neill | ||
| 58422e4 | How is it that mankind can engineer condoms to prevent pregnancy and STDs and not be able to invent some sort of emotional safeguard? Is it even possible to from falling in love? | std falling-in-love | Daria Snadowsky | |
| 338a657 | God is not glorified when we keep for ourselves (no matter how thankfully) what we ought to be using to alleviate the misery of unevangelized, uneducated, unmedicated, and unfed millions. The evidence that many professing Christians have been deceived by this doctrine is how little they give and how much they own. God has prospered them. And by an almost irresistible law of consumer culture (baptized by a doctrine of health, wealth, and pro.. | compassion greed stewardship evangelism giving sharing starvation gospel hunger prosperity need | John Piper | |
| 82568dd | Taken as a whole, the story of Ruth is one of those signs. It was written to give us encouragement and hope that all the perplexing turns in our lives are going somewhere good. They do not lead off a cliff. In all the setbacks of our lives as believers, God is plotting for our joy. | John Piper | ||

| 33cfb18 | Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. | Anonymous | ||
| a288e29 | To rest was to receive all aspects of the world without judgment. A bath in the sea, a fuck with a soldier who never knew your name. Tenderness toward the unknown and anonymous, which was tenderness to the self. | rest tenderness the-self the-unknown | Michael Ondaatje | |
| 871b9a5 | Do not worry about anything, but pray and ask God for everything you need, always giving thanks. And God's peace, which is so great we cannot understand it, will keep your hearts and minds in Jesus Christ. | Anonymous | ||
| c8589b0 | Just as you can pick out the voice of a loved one in the tumult of a noisy room, or spot your child's smile in a sea of faces, intimate connection allows recognition in an all-too-often anonymous world. This sense of connection arises from a special kind of discrimination, a search image that comes from a long time spent looking and listening. Intimacy gives us a different way of seeing, when visual acuity is not enough. | Robin Wall Kimmerer | ||

| 623a8cf | Suddenly gator was framed in the doorway, grinning at them, his black unruly hair tumbling into his face and his piercing blue eyes bright with laughter. "Oh, I see you are most friendly with each other. And Lily was so worried." He turned his head. "Ian Tucker, come look at this. Our man has found himself a little kitty cat."

| 03b0bf4 | Creo que somos quienes somos por muchas razones. Y probablemente nunca las conoceremos a todas. Pero aunque asi no tenemos el poder de elegir de donde venimos, aun podemos elegir a donde vamos desde alli. Aun podemos hacer cosas. Y podemos tratar de sentirnos bien por ellas. | life | Stephen Chbosky | |

| 7e42b35 | Steve Jobs: "People think focus means saying yes to the thing you've got to focus on. But that's not what it means at all. It means saying no to the hundred other good ideas that there are. You have to pick carefully. I'm actually as proud of the things we haven't done as the things I have done. Innovation is saying no to 1,000 things." | Nassim Nicholas Taleb | ||

"I am NOT sensitive," Cale snapped, irritated by the very suggestion. "It's probably his mother's fault," Lucian said, ignoring him. "Martine named him after Caliope, the muse of poetry.

| 97d0825 | Many social justice or social activist movements have been rooted in a position. A position is usually against something. Any position will call up its opposition. If I say up, it generates down. If I say right, it really creates left. If I say good, it creates bad. So a position creates its opposition. A stand is something quite distinct from that. There are synonyms for "stand" such as "declaration" or "commitment," but let me talk for j.. | Lynne Twist |
