| 722929b | Amren," Rhys drawled, "sends her regards. And as for this one ... " I tried not to flinch away from meeting his stare. "She's mine," he said quietly, but viciously enough that Devlon and his warriors nearby heard. "And if any of you lay a hand on her, you lose that hand. And then you lose your head." I tried not to shiver, as Cassian and Mor showed no reaction at all. "And once Feyre is done killing you," Rhys smirked, "then I'll grind your.. | a-court-of-thorns-and-roses feyre funny funny-quotes rhysand | Sarah J. Maas | |
| b7ad83e | You can't reason against it. Even if it wasn't in our culture, there would still be an instinct to protest the defenseless, regardless of whether they're female or male, young or old. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| bc0f294 | Rowan lifted his eyebrows. She nodded. "That will never stop being strange," Aedion muttered. "Deal with it," she told him, carrying the suit into the bedroom. "Let's go hunt ourselves a pretty little demon." -- | aelin-galathynius pg317 rowan-whitethorn | Sarah J. Maas | |
| 49022fc | It certainly seems like it's your shop," he said at last, turning his attention back to her. Emerie had drifted a few feet away, her back straight, chin upraised. He'd seen Nesta in that particular pose, too. He called it her I Will Slay My Enemies pose." | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| a68a590 | For you to have gotten here so fast, you'd have needed to fly," he said to the messenger. "This must have been written before the battle even started this morning." The messenger smirked. "I was handed two letters. One was for victory, the other defeat." Bold--this messenger was bold, and arrogant, for someone at Darrow's beck and call. "What's your name?" "Nox Owen." The messenger bowed at the waist. "From Perranth." | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 4e9a7ab | Dorian looked down at the book. "This isn't one of the books that I sent you! I don't even own books like these!" She laughed weakly and took the tea from the servant as she approached. "Of course you don't, Dorian. I had the maids send for a copy today." "Sunset's Passions," he read, and opened the book to a random page to read aloud.

| 226f731 | Not flowers--never flowers in Terrasen. Instead, they carried small stones to graves to mark their visits, to tell the dead that they still remembered. Stones were eternal--flowers were not. | celaena-sardothien death queen-of-shadows sam-cortland sarah-j-maas throne-of-glass | Sarah J. Maas | |
| 4f0f5d5 | His throat bobbled. His kiss that time was deep and thorough, unhurried and intent. I let the dawn creep inside me, let it grow with each movement of his lips and brush of his tongue against mine. Tears pricked beneath my closed eyes. It was the happiest moment of my life. | acotar tamlin | Sarah J. Maas | |
| 513ddd5 | At dinner, she'd seen the expression flash across his face when he caught Aelin and Rowan smiling at each other. All of Arobynn's jabs and stories had failed to find their mark tonight because Aelin had been too lost in Rowan to hear. She wondered whether the queen knew. Rowan did. Aedion did. And Arobynn did. | aelin arobynn rowan | Sarah J. Maas | |

| 45a9259 | Ghislaine didn't look up from the book she was poring over. There was a stack of them on the desk before her, and another beside the narrow bed. Where the eldest and cleverest of her Thirteen had gotten them from, who she'd likely gutted to steal them, Manon didn't care. "Hello, and come right in, why don't you" was the response. Manon leaned against the door and crossed her arms. Only with books, only when reading, was Ghislaine so snappis.. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 2d37dad | You will make mistakes. You will make decisions, and sometimes you will regret those choices. Sometimes there won't be a right choice, just the best of several bad options. I don't need to tell you that you can do this-you know you can. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 8479c00 | The beauty of the universe consists not only of unity in variety, but also of variety in unity. | variety | Umberto Eco | |
| b98399d | But why do some people support [the heretics]?" "Because it serves their purposes, which concern the faith rarely, and more often the conquest of power." "Is that why the church of Rome accuses all its adversaries of heresy?" "That is why, and that is also why it recognizes as orthodoxy any heresy it can bring back under its own control or must accept because the heresy has become too strong." | heresy orthodoxy power | Umberto Eco | |
| 84a93f6 | I should be at peace. I have understood. Don't some say that peace comes when you understand? I have understood. I should be at peace. Who said that peace derives from the contemplation of order, order understood, enjoyed, realized without residuum, in joy and truimph, the end of effort? All is clear, limpid; the eye rests on the whole and on the parts and sees how the parts have conspired to make the whole; it perceives the center where th.. | Umberto Eco | ||
| bcb8063 | And why had Deb's last boyfriend dumped her? I dumped him. Maybe you didn't French-kiss him enough. I promise you that wasn't it. Tell me how many times a day you kissed, and I'll say if it was enough. Four hundred. Not enough. | sadness | Miranda July | |
| 83ef7fa | I supposed this was one reason why people got married, to make a fiction that was tellable. It wasn't just movies that couldn't contain the full cast of characters -- it was us. We had to winnow life down so we knew where to put our tenderness and attention; and that was a good, sweet thing. But together or alone, we were still embedded in a kaleidoscope, ruthlessly varied and continuous, until the end of the end. | Miranda July | ||
| 97861f4 | I was going to die and it was taking forever. | Miranda July | ||
| 27b3d0d | When you live alone people are always thinking they can stay with you, when the opposite is true: who they should stay with is a person whose situation is already messed up by other people and so one more won't matter. | Miranda July | ||
| 8231c0a | I hadn't had a chance to read an entire novel in weeks. Whatever the others might say about politics, civil war, and hunters, the real evil was lack of reading time. If they all read more they might freak out less. And if I was going to live forever I was going to have to start a reading list. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| e602616 | You're our best hope." "If you call me Obi-Wan I'm going to kick you." He grinned. "Hot. say Obi-Wan again." I laughed, shoving his shoulder. "Shut up." | connor-drake | Alyxandra Harvey | |
| db06a73 | I knew damn well if Lucy broke up with me I'd still love her until I turned to dust. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 53cbcfc | But I have noticed this about ambitious men, or men in power, that they fear even the slightest and least likely threat to it. | Mary Stewart | ||

| 67c29d8 | What do you think it is?" "It could be anything from a lawn trimmer to a bomb, for all I know." "I would never build a lawn trimmer," Myrnin said. "What did the lawn ever do to me?" | Rachel Caine | ||
| a4fb914 | Happy birthday," she said. "And next time? Eat the stupid cupcake." | claire-danvers cupcake morganville-vampires shane-collins short-story | Rachel Caine | |
| fe29391 | Morley put his hand over his heart and bowed from the waist, a gesture that somehow reminded Claire of Myrnin. It reminded her she missed him, too, which was just wrong. She should not be missing Morganville, or anyone in it. Especially not the crazy boss vampire who'd put fang marks in her neck that would never, ever go away. She was doomed to high-necked shirts because of him. But she did miss him. | Rachel Caine | ||
| b603b25 | What you know about Vampires could fit into a mosquito's ass." Eve said. Irritated. "All you know is what you grew up seeing on T.V. You ever actually meet one?" | Rachel Caine | ||
| 41de981 | I don't like this," he said. I don't like knowing you can't forgive me, Claire. Please, I said I was sorry, what do you want me to do? Beg?I will. I'll get on my knees right here if you want." -- | claire-danvers don-t-want-to-let-go leaving-home shane-collins | Rachel Caine | |

| 026513e | I wrestled futilely, then relaxed as a vine wrapped three times around my throat and squeezed. Right," I choked out, and shut my eyes. "I'll wait here, then." | rachel-caine thin-air | Rachel Caine | |
| 07e5c30 | Hope just means another world might be possible, not promise, not guaranteed. Hope calls for action; action is impossible without hope. | hope possible | Rebecca Solnit | |
| f52b302 | But explaining men still assume I am, in some sort of obscene impregnation metaphor, an empty vessel to be filled with their wisdom and knowledge. A Freudian would claim to know what they have and I lack, but intelligence is not situated in the crotch--even if you can write one of Virginia Woolf's long mellifluous musical sentences about the subtle subjugation of women in the snow with your willie. | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| 42f238f | After the trial, I watched as another female pathologist collected maggots from a spinal column found in the desert. There was a decomposed head, too, and before leaving work she planned to simmer it and study the exposed cranium for contusions. I was asked to pass this information along to the chief medical examiner, and, looking back, I perhaps should have chosen my words more carefully. 'Fire up the kettle,' I told him. 'Ol'-fashioned sk.. | David Sedaris | ||

| f10df5a | You're too visible, Albert," Hadrian explained. "Can't afford to have our favorite noble hauled to some dungeon where they cut off your eyelids or pull off your fingernails until you tell them what we're up to." "But if they torture me, and I don't know the plan, how will I save myself?" "I'm sure they'll believe you after the fourth nail or so," Royce said with a wicked grin." | Michael J. Sullivan | ||
| 8fbb1dd | I just want to say, for the record, as far as Royal protectors go, you're not very good." "It's my first day," Royce replied dryly. "And already I am trapped in a timeless prison. I shudder to think what might have happened if you had a whole week." | riyria | Michael J. Sullivan | |
| 66d1d69 | Emptiness and boredom: what an understatement. What I felt was complete desolation. Desolation, despair, and depression. | Susanna Kaysen | ||
| 2b4e09d | I taught how to be sociable with ink on paper. I told my students that when they were writing they should be good dates on blind dates, should show strangers good times. Alternatively, they should run really nice whorehouses, come one, come all, although they were in fact working in perfect solitude. I said I expected them to do this with nothing but idiosyncratic arrangements in horizontal lines of twenty-six phonetic symbols, ten numbers,.. | Kurt Vonnegut | ||
| 19e4d1c | It made me think that everything was about to arrive - the moment when you know all and everything is decided forever. | Jack Kerouac |
