| 05400d2 | Yeah, but you're a god of fate. Can't you change that? (Kat) You're thinking like a child, Katra. Things that appear simple very seldom are. It's like the mechanic who goes to fix the carburetor and in doing so accidentally puts a hole in the radiator and causes even more damage. Every person on this planet is connected. Sometimes those lines are easy to see, and others are more complex. You change one insignificant thing and you change the.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| e5a2618 | As she entered the main room, Syn turned around in his chair and almost fell out of it as he scanned her body. He cleared his throat and cut an appreciative look to Nykyrian.) Dayum...woman be hot. (Syn) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| ad5ca28 | And I've been your monkey ever since. (Vik) Nah. You're not my monkey, Vik. You're my bitch. (Devyn) Of course I am. And I'll remember that the next time your shower door is stuck and you want me to open it...Wait. That does make me your bitch, doesn't it? Damn, I'm whipped. (Vik) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 68f88d3 | People make their own reality, goddess. We hate and we love for reasons that are known only to us. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| a4b1eb5 | Everyone who's ever been jealous because it's my face in the magazines and not theirs. Every person who can't believe or accept that someone can reach my level of success without being a total prick. Trust me, it's not the lies that hurt people. It's the willingness of everyone else to believe them. And then there are those who come out of the woodwork to back your accuser because it gives them the spotlight for three seconds. They can't st.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| db354b5 | I tried to pick Nykyrian's pocket last year. (Jana) And you let him live? (Kiara) I have an age requirement before I kill someone. (Nykyrian) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| adcf2f7 | Desi, babe. Still playing your little games, I see. Now why don't you be a good Daimon and show yourself to me? (Kyrian) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 7c8c7ba | You know, Vik, you're amazingly human at times. (Alix) I know. But I wonder if the feelings I have are real or just electrical stimulations in my cortex that simulate human emotion. I wish I knew if they were real or imagined. (Vik) And that makes you completely human, sweetie. We all have those doubts. (Alix) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| d059224 | Wow, that was fun. Any place else you want to take me while we're here? Maybe there's a darker corner of hell than that hall of flesh-hungry demons, huh? (Sin) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 3ff563b | This is your pendulum map. It'll answer any yes or no question you ask. All you have to do is focus your mind on the question and hover the pendulum over the page. In time, you'll be able to ask more complicated questions and it'll spell out the answers." - Death "Duly awesome. Will I lose my vir-Hey!" - Nick "Stop being stupid and take this seriously." - Death "What's wrong with asking that, anyway?" - Nick "It's a stupid concern." - D.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 7ab8f98 | No, no, no. This ain't right. I finally find a woman who'll actually let me into her place and you bring her home for you? Oh, please tell me you brought her home for you and not for me. You didn't pimp me out again, Wulf, did you? I swear I'll stake you in your sleep if you did. (Chris) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| ce70e81 | Why would Acheron care about any of this? (M'Adoc) Not him, his mother. Remember her? Tall angry blond bitch who seriously spanked her whole family into oblivion over a hangnail? (Deimos) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 4df4994 | This can't be happening. It's just not possible. (Cassandra) Oh, well, let's not have reality intrude now, shall we? I mean, hey, you're a mythological being descended from mythological beings and you're in the house of an immortal guardian no human can remember five minutes after they leave his presence. Who's to say that you can't get pregnant in a dream by him? What? We're jumping into the realm of reality now? (Katra) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 1a352b6 | That would be like making a pact with Lucifer. (Zarek) Yes, but I don't smell like sulfur. And I happen to dress better. Luc always looks like a pimp. (Dionysus) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 47f99de | How did you know Cassandra was the mother? (Wulf) I know lots of things when I apply myself. (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 97d4cdd | Writers. For some reason, a lot of you reject what you hear and see in your heads. If you go too long ignoring it, it builds up and then you do all sorts of weird things. Mumble to yourself. Nightmares. Day-dreams. Total anarchy and chaos. Before you know it, the writer is either sitting in corner feverishly humming to his- or herself or on Prozac. You're not on Prozac, are you? (Esther) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 873ed29 | You? You can't believe this? I'm the one who has to go to Artemis to save your ass. She was freaking out over Zarek, now how the hell do I explain to her that Mr. Cool-Calm-and-Collected was doing his impression of Spider Man in a bar loaded with tourists and ended up as the main feature on Tokyo news as what's wrong with American culture? Question. How many rules did you break in less than a minute? (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| f65bd6f | When I was a little girl, I used to try and bring sunshine to my mother. I felt so bad that she had never really seen or felt it. So I would try and catch it in jars. When that failed, I captured jars and jars of lightening bugs and told her that if we could catch enough of them, then it would look like the sun. She'd laugh, hug me, and then set them free and tell me that nothing should have to live its life in a cage. (Cassandra) | lightning-bugs sunlight | Sherrilyn Kenyon | |
| 2baa0e7 | Leave it to you...look, the reason I'm calling is I have a colleague here in my office who has something we need you to take a look at - I personally have never seen anything like it, and I think from a historic point of view you'd be very interested in it, too. Any chance we can stop by?...Yeah, it's some really old shit - nice phraseology, by the way. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 9c7dea2 | You do know that as a small child, they actually carried me around on a pillow? I had a custom-made helmet that I had to wear until I was four. (Chris) That's because you banged your head every time you got angry. I was afraid you were going to get brain damage from it. (Wulf) The brain is fine. It's my ego and social life in the toilet. I shudder at what you're going to do to the kid. (Chris dropped his voice and imitated Wulf's lilting No.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 6461e4f | You'll survive, mu Tara. We'll make sure of it. (Nykyrian) You can't guarantee that. You said it yourself. Even you're living on borrowed time, waiting for one of them to kill you. (Kiara) And you said I was scaring her? Damn, bud. You're socially awkward to the extreme. (Syn) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 346543d | Life has a way of breaking even the strongest among us. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 6e18dfb | You stubborn bastard. Take it from someone who knows firsthand, there's a lot to be said for forgiveness. Grudges seldom hurt anyone except the one bearing them." "And there's a lot to be said for knocking enemies upside their heads and cracking skulls open." Ash & Urian" | grudge revenge stubborn violence | Sherrilyn Kenyon | |
| d755a59 | Which is why you deal with demons. (Acheron) Who are even more pathetic than humans when you think about it. Personally, I'd rather play video games. Wouldn't it be great if we could suck the souls of the people we hated into the box, shoot them down and then dance on their entrails? (Jaden) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 5c4127f | This one's easy to use. The pointy end goes into their body. (Liza) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| e7d2596 | Don't you like them? (Nykyrian) Did you see the price? (Kiara) I'm more than capable of supplying you with several wardrobes from here. (Nykyrian) But- (Kiara) But nothing, mu Tara. Start shoping. (Nykyrian) This really isn't- (Kiara) Kiara. Buy clothes or go naked. Personally, naked works for me. (Nykyrian) Fine. When you're homeless and bankrupt, remember I tried to stop you. (Kiara) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 1f18213 | Don't you have any friends you could hand with?" - Nick "I do. But the problem is when I hang out with my friends, it usually gets ugly for the rest of you. Especially when we're bored. Nothing entertains us more than plagues, famine, war, and bloody massacres." - Death "You play D&D, too, huh? Who's your DM?" - Nick "The difference between my group and yours...our toys are real." - Death" | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| b4d2790 | We all have choices. (Astrid) No we don't, princess. Only people with money and influence have choices. For the rest of us, basic necessity dictates what we have to do to survive. (Zarek) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 619cd7d | Who would guess," he teased, "that I'd ever see you on a rooftop with straw in your hair?" Kit giggled. "Are you saying I've turned into a crow?" "Not exactly." His eyes were intensely blue with merriment. "I can still see the green feathers if I look hard enough. But they've done their best to make you into a sparrow, haven't they?" | individuality spirit | Elizabeth George Speare | |
| 74839b9 | Tis a strange thing, that the only friends I have I found in the same way, lying flat in the meadows, crying as if their hearts would break. | Elizabeth George Speare | ||
| e08126f | You could sometimes see her twelfth year in her cheeks, or her ninth sparkling from her eyes; and even her fifth would flit over the curves of her mouth now and then. | description | Thomas Hardy | |
| 0b25efe | It was then that the ecstasy and the dream began, in which emotion was the matter of the universe, and matter but an adventitious intrusion likely to hinder you from spinning where you wanted to spin. | senses | Thomas Hardy | |
| 0fd81c2 | So do flux and reflux--the rhythm of change--alternate and persist in everything under the sky. | flux reflux truth wisdom | Thomas Hardy | |
| d7b0407 | He Looked and smelt like Autumn's very brother, his face being sunburnt to wheat-colour, his eyes blue as corn-flowers, his sleeves and leggings dyed with fruit-stains, his hands clammy with the sweet juice of apples, his hat sprinkled with pips, and everywhere about him the sweet atmosphere of cider which at its first return each season has such an indescribable fascination for those who have been born and bred among the orchards. | the-woodlanders thomas-hardy | Thomas Hardy | |
| 2e49795 | He had been held to her by a beautiful thread which it pained him to spoil by breaking, rather than by a chain he could not break. | classic far-from-the-madding-crowd fiction gabriel-oak romance | Thomas Hardy | |
| 455ec12 | Everybody must be managed. Queens must be managed. Kings must be managed, for men want managing almost as much as women, and that's saying a good deal. | kings men queens women | Thomas Hardy | |
| 81e5f11 | Well, what I mean is that I shouldn't mind being a bride at a wedding, if I could be one without having a husband. But since a woman can't show off in that way by herself, I shan't marry--at least not yet. | thomas-hardy | Thomas Hardy | |
| 350638a | Everyone understands the pain that accompanies death, but genuine pain doesn't live in the spirit, nor in the air, nor in our lives, nor on these terraces of billowing smoke. The genuine pain that keeps everything awake | pain | Federico García Lorca | |
| 9d9e94e | NOVIA. !Porque yo me fui con el otro, me fui! (Con angustia.) Tu tambien te hubieras ido. Yo era una mujer quemada, llena de llagas por dentro y por fuera,y tu hijo era un poquito de agua de la que yo esperaba hijos, tierra, salud; pero el otro era un rio oscuro, lleno de ramas, que acercaba a mi el rumor de sus juncos y su cantar entre dientes. Y yo corria con tu hijo que era como un ninito de agua, frio, y el otro me mandaba cientos de pa.. | desperation unrequited-love | Federico García Lorca | |
| c3d5744 | It was as though our love were a small creature caught in a trap and bleeding to death: I had to shut my eyes and wring its neck. | Graham Greene | ||
| a1a0a03 | Nobody here could ever talk about a heaven on earth. Heaven remained rigidly in its proper place on the other side of death, and on this side flourished the injustices, the cruelties, the meanness that elsewhere people so cleverly hushed up. Here you could love human beings nearly as God loved them, knowing the worst: you didn't love a pose, a pretty dress, a sentiment artfully assumed. | Graham Greene | ||
| e318954 | Louie found himself thinking of the moment at which he had woken in the sinking hull of Green Hornet, the wires that had trapped him a moment earlier now, inexplicably, gone. And he remembered the Japanese bomber swooping over the rafts, riddling them with bullets, and yet not a single bullet had struck him, Phil, or Mac. He had fallen into unbearably cruel worlds, and yet he had borne them. When he turned these memories in his mind, the on.. | Laura Hillenbrand | ||
