| ecdaa09 | So you must learn to follow your destiny, whatever it may be, with joy. As flowers grow, they show off their beauty and are appreciated by all; then, after they die, they leave their seeds so that others may continue God's work. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| a7684f8 | When I had nothing to lose, I had everything. When I stopped being who I am, I found myself. | paulo-coelho | Paulo Coelho's | |
| 384e91d | It is easy to suffer for a cause or for a mission; this ennobles the heart of the person suffering. But how to explain suffering because of a man? It's not explainable. With that kind of suffering, a person feels as if they're in hell, because there is no nobility, no greatness - only misery. | man suffering | Paulo Coelho | |
| 2429d68 | You have to take risks. We will only understand the miracle of life fully when we allow the unexpected to happen. Every day, God gives us the sun - and also one moment when we have the ability to change everything that makes us unhappy. Every day, we try to pretend that we haven't perceived that moment, that it doesn't exist - that today is the same as yesterday and will be the same as tomorrow. But if people really pay attention to their e.. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 5ba384a | There isn't anyone anywhere who isn't Seymour's Fat Lady. Don't you know that? Don't you know that goddam secret yet? And don't you know -- listen to me, now -- don't you know who that Fat Lady really is? . . . Ah, buddy. Ah, buddy. It's Christ Himself. Christ Himself, buddy. | J.D. Salinger | ||
| 10834d5 | I thought the two ugly ones were sisters, but they got very insulted when I asked them. You could tell neither one of them wanted to look like the other one, and you couldn't blame them, but it was very amusing anyway. | ugliness | J.D. Salinger | |
| c776058 | His eldest sister (who modestly prefers to be identified here as a Tuckahoe homemaker) has asked me to describe him as looking like 'the blue-eyed Jewish-Irish Mohican scout who died in your arms at the roulette table at Monte Carlo. | J.D. Salinger | ||
| 2d559c8 | I've never seen such a bunch of apple-eaters. | apple sin teddy | J.D. Salinger | |
| 92d8f64 | Sometimes you get tired of riding in taxicabs the same way you get tired riding in elevators. All of a sudden, you have to walk, no matter how far or how high up. | J.D. Salinger | ||
| 44200c0 | It isn't just Wally. It could be a girl, for goodness' sake. I mean if he were a girl - somebody in my dorm, for example, - he'd have been painting scenery in some stock company all summer. Or bicycled through wales. Or taken an apartment in New York and worked for a magazine or an advertising company. It's everybody, I mean. Everything everybody does is so - I don't know, not wrong, or even mean, or even stupid, necessarily. But just so ti.. | zooey | J.D. Salinger | |
| f4ca6a4 | Keep everything young and soft, keep everything on the surface, even with the knowledge that the surface fades and can't be held together forever - take advantage before the expiration date appears in the nearing distance. | Bret Easton Ellis | ||
| cff9439 | In the movie I was played by an actor who actually looked more like me than the character the author portrayed in the book: I wasn't blond, I wasn't tan, and neither was the actor. I also suddenly became the movie's moral compass, spouting AA jargon, castigating everyone's drug use and trying to save Julian. (I'll sell my car," I warn the actor playing Julian's dealer. "Whatever it takes.") This was slightly less true of Blair's character, .. | movies | Bret Easton Ellis | |
| 22e3ceb | Maybe it's true what Thomas Moore said: "It is only through mystery and madness that the soul is revealed." | Susannah Cahalan | ||
| 0f211f8 | I called the world of phenomena an illusion, I called my eyes and my tongue and accident, valueless phenomena. No, that is all over; I have awakened, I have really awakened and have just been born today. | inspiration | Hermann Hesse | |
| ffe3a75 | Einsamkeit ist Unabhangigkeit, ich hatte sie mir gewunscht und mir erworben in langen Jahren. Sie war kalt, o ja, sie war aber auch still, wunderbar still und gross wie der kalte stille Raum, in dem die Sterne sich drehen. | unabhängigkeit | Hermann Hesse | |
| 34cbf0d | The realms of day and night. Two different worlds coming from two opposite poles mingled during this time. | Hermann Hesse | ||
| 598dcd3 | I have told the story I was asked to tell. I have closed it, as so many stories close, with a joining of two people. What is one man's and one woman's love and desire, against the history of two worlds, the great revolutions of our lifetimes, the hope, the unending cruelty of our species? A little thing. But a key is a little thing, next to the door it opens. If you lose the key, the door may never be unlocked. It is in our bodies that we l.. | love slavery | Ursula K. Le Guin | |

| eacbe7e | He explained to Atro that he now understood why the army was organized as it was. It was indeed quite necessary. No rational form of organization would serve the purpose. He simply had not understood that the purpose was to enable men with machine guns to kill unarmed men and women easily and in great quantities when told to do so. Only he still could not see where courage, or manliness, or fitness entered in. | Ursula K. Le Guin | ||
| 2fba8c2 | And in the distance, so faint I thought I might have imagined it, a beast's roar cleaved the land. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 0292331 | She wriggled the demon's fingers a bit more. "It'd make a good back-scratcher." Rowan only frowned. "Killjoy," she said, and chucked the arm onto the torso of the Wyrdhound." -- | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 665e402 | And now, the very thing that had earned her the right to call herself Adarlan's Assassin would be what sealed her doom. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 7da35e9 | For the first time in a damn long while, Lorcan had no words for what he saw. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 9dd6bac | Tell the others," Aelin breathed, trying to find the right words. "Tell the others that I am sorry. Tell Lysandra to remember her promise, and that I will never stop being grateful. Tell Aedion ... Tell him it is not his fault, and that ..." Her voice cracked. "I wish he'd been able to take the oath, but Terrasen will look to him now, and the lines must not break." Elide nodded, tears sliding down her blood-splattered face. "And tell Rowan .. | Sarah J. Maas | ||

| 51b7f4e | It is not such a thing, is it - to die for your friends. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 433e040 | Fleetfoot just zoomed on by, a blur of gold. A moment later, when the little librarian came waddling into view and asked if they'd seen a dog, Celaena only shook her head and said that she heard something--from the opposite direction. And she told him to keep his voice down, because this was a . His eyes shooting daggers at her, the man huffed and scuttled away, his shouting a bit softer. When he was gone, Dorian turned to her, brows h.. | crown-of-midnight dorian-havilliard | Sarah J. Maas | |
| 80b8b25 | I know it's not much--" "No one has ever done anything like this for me." He shook his head in awe, looking back at the greenhouse. "No one." "It's just a dinner," she said, rubbing her neck and walking to the table, if only because the urge to go to him was so strong that she needed a table between them." | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| fb67e11 | Do not mistake my silence for lack of feeling. I have good reason to keep my thoughts to myself | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 017bb0e | Did you mean it? What you said." He held her stare. Let some inner wall within him come crumbling down. Only for her. For this sharp-eyed, cunning little liar who had slipped through every defense and ironclad rule he'd ever made for himself. He let her see that in his face. Let her see all of it, as no one had ever done before. "Yes." Her mouth tightened, but not in displeasure. So Lorcan said softly, "I meant every word." | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| b76f5b9 | Sam was gone. Reality opened wide and swallowed her whole. She didn't move from the bed. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 36f0787 | After another moment of quietness, he asked, "Why did you do it?" Arobynn's attention drifted back to the wagon, already a small dot in the rolling foothills above Rifthold. "Because I don't like sharing my belongings," was his only response." | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 64ee6fa | But here- tonight... the benefits outweighed the costs." "Is that also what you told yourself when you went into my mind? What was the benefit then?" Rhys pushed off the door, crossing to where I sat on the bed. "There are parts of your mind I left undisturbed, things that belong solely to you, and always will. And as for the rest ...." His jaw clenched. "You scared the shit out of me for long while, Feyre. Checking in that way.... I couldn.. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 1f932a3 | I was merely observing; I have no agenda." He looked at his hand, still touching hers. "Where did you get that ring?" She contracted her hand into a fist as she pulled it away from him. The amethyst in her ring glowed in the firelight. "It was a gift." "From whom?" "That's none of your concern." He shrugged, though she knew betterthan to tell him who'd really given it to her - rather, she knew Chaol wouldn't want Dorian to know. "I'd like .. | crush dorian-havilliard flirting hands jealousy | Sarah J. Maas | |
| 73086ce | She had always been drawn to the untamed, wild things of the world. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 666fe2d | See?" She fell into step beside him as they aimed not for their room and ravishment, but for the hallway where food had been laid out. "You're starting to like the notoriety." Rowan arched a brow. "You think that everywhere I've gone for the past three hundred years, whispers haven't followed me?" She rolled her eyes, but he chuckled. "This is far better than Cold-hearted bastard or I heard he killed someone with a table leg." "You did kill.. | Sarah J. Maas | ||

| 0e2b98d | Celaena." He stopped a few feet from the guards. His eyes were rich, molten brown. "Yes?" Her heartbeat steadied. "You look rather pretty today," was all he said before the doors opened and they walked forward." | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 8ba6161 | We wait for the Queen of the Valg," the spider purred, rubbing against the carving. "Who in this world calls herself Maeve." | Sarah J. Maas | ||

| acc3ecf | Oamenii sunt de doua feluri, unii sunt asemeni unor oglinzi, daca iti reflecti iubirea in ei, o vei primi inapoi. Exact cum faci tu cand te privesti in oglinda, ii oferi o imagine si ea te rasplateste cu alta la fel. Sunt insa si oameni care nu pot oglindi, e ca si cum ai incerca sa-ti privesti chipul in perete. Poti sta acolo mult si bine, nu-ti va oferi nimic. Doar daca vor dori, se vor putea transforma in oglinzi. | Moise D. (Naivul) | ||

| e1582c1 | That's the problem with this whole country. Fucking vast prosperity. No one has any real problems anymore. Ninety percent of the damn politicians in this town either think there's no war on terror, or if we'd just be nice to these zealots they'll leave us alone. Well, that ain't going to fucking happen. The Huns are circling, and we're sitting around arguing about gay rights and prayer and guns and global warming and all kinds of bullshit. .. | rant stan-hurley terrorism | Vince Flynn |
