Chaol chuckled at her agitation and pointed his sword at the rack, allowing her to get to her feet. "Pick another--something different. Make it interesting, too. Something that will make me sweat, please." "You'll be sweating when I skin you alive and squish your eyeballs beneath my feet," she muttere.. | Sarah J. Maas | ||

| 0d39655 | Do you know what I would answer to someone who asked me for a description of myself, in a hurry? This: ?? !! For indeed my life is a perpetual question mark--my thirst for books, my observations of people, all tend to satisfy a great, overwhelming desire to know, to understand, to find an answer to a million questions.

Will raised his hand. "I'm his doctor." | solangelo will-solace | Rick Riordan | |

And this weak and idle theme, No more yielding but a dream, Gentles, do not reprehend: If you pardon, we will mend: And, as I am an honest Puck, If we have unearned luck Now to 'scape the serpent's tongue, We will make amends ere long; Else the Puck a liar call; So, good night unto you all.

I still won." | katy sweet | Jennifer L. Armentrout | |
| b4aa5bf | Perhaps it's true that things can change in a day. That a few dozen hours can affect the outcome of whole lifetimes. And that when they do, those few dozen hours, like the salvaged remains of a burned house--the charred clock, the singed photograph, the scorched furniture--must be resurrected from the ruins and examined. Preserved. Accounted for. Little events, ordinary things, smashed and reconstituted. Imbued with new meaning. Suddenly th.. | Arundhati Roy | ||

| 795f9a7 | The true secret in being a hero lies in knowing the order of things.
