| f91623b | I want you forever, Kate. I want to grow old and have you here in my arms. I want children. I've wanted you for so long. I don't think that's about to change. | Christine Feehan | ||
| 72bb448 | Kane to Rose] I'll never forget the way you looked walking toward me. I never thought that I'd have a woman like you in my life. It's all there etched in my brain. And now, the way the light pours over our hair, the way all that silk shines, so black it's nearly blue. The world disappears when I'm holding you. | Christine Feehan | ||
| 9e5c518 | He found a stuffed animal, a fluffy wolf with bright blue eyes, and was immediately drawn to it. "I want to get this for her. It is telling me it needs to go home with us." Francesca laughed at him." | stuffed-animal wolf | Christine Feehan | |
| bd505c8 | I can't be anything but what I am, Elle. If you want a man who is going to treat you like a broken doll, you sure as hell come to the wrong place. And if you expect me to step aside and let you make decisions that are ultimately going to harm you, then baby, you definitely have the wrong man because I protect my woman. Right or wrong, politically correct or not, I stand in front of her when there's need. | Christine Feehan | ||
| 59193a0 | Men sometimes have to leave their ladies alone, and ladies are not responsible for the bad manners of fools. | Charlaine Harris | ||
| 1179ad8 | Long ago, when I had my Merlyn to help, he tried to teach me to think. He knew he would have to leave in the end, so he forced me to think for myself. Don't ever let anybody teach you to think, Lance: it is the curse of the world. | T.H. White | ||
| db5f0cb | it is not the manager's job to prevent risks. It is the manager's job to make it safe to take them. | Ed Catmull | ||
| c1d7c27 | I wish I knew. It might make me miss him more clearly. It might have made sad sense. | Stephen Chbosky | ||
| 247f24a | So I started shoveling Bob's driveway, which is a strange thing to do at a New Years Eve Party | snow strange | Stephen Chbosky | |
| 5959863 | I guess when you see somebody in the hallway or on the field or something, it's nice to know that they are a real person. | Stephen Chbosky | ||
| d791d4a | But at one point, Craig was talking about something, and Sam turned to me and smiled. It was a movie smile in slow motion, and then everything was okay. | Stephen Chbosky | ||
| c035f60 | My dad said I did the right thing. I hope I did, but it's hard to tell sometimes. | Stephen Chbosky | ||
| 091f328 | I spent all night working on it, and I hope Patrick likes it as much as I do. Especially the second side. I hope it's the kind of second side that he can listen to whenever he drives alone and feel like he belongs to something whenever he's sad. I hope it can be that for him. | Stephen Chbosky | ||
| 35fa7dd | Every trail has its end, and every calamity brings its lesson! | lessons mistakes | James Fenimore Cooper | |
| d2780a2 | Many people keep deploring the low level of formal education in the United states (as defined by, say, math grades). Yet these fail to realize that the new comes from here and gets imitated elsewhere. And it is not thanks to universities, which obviously claim a lot more credit than their accomplishments warrant. Like Britain in the Industrial Revolution, America's asset is, simply, risk taking and the use of optionality, this remarkable ab.. | Nassim Nicholas Taleb | ||
| 8d1fa69 | much of what other people know isn't worth knowing. | Nassim Nicholas Taleb | ||

| df371ec | if you've never been cussed out by a Siamese, you don't know what profanity is all about! | profanity swearing | Lilian Jackson Braun | |
| 8667702 | I've lost my mind," Alex muttered, grabbing her knives again and stomping back across the kitchen. "I woke up this morning a boring little chef on planet earth, and somehow ended up in the Twilight Zone as a third-rate stand-in for Buffy the Vampire Slayer"." | Lynsay Sands | ||
| 4bbab05 | For me, marriage should be about partnership. How can you love someone you have to take care of like a child all the time? A wife is supposed to be a partner, and yes partners help each other when they need it, but they are supposed to be together because they want to in my book, not because one needs the other. | love marriage partnership | Lynsay Sands | |

| 90052ff | And in every one of us, there's a war going on. It's a civil war. I don't care who you are, I don't care where you live, there is a civil war going on in your life. And every time you set out to be good, there's something pulling on you, telling you to be evil. It's going on in your life. Every time you set out to love, something keeps pulling on you, trying to get you to hate. Every time you set out to be kind and say nice things about peo.. | Martin Luther King Jr. | ||
| a96c82c | I have consistently preached that nonviolence demands that the means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek. I have tried to make clear that it is wrong to use immoral means to attain moral ends. But now I must affirm that it is just as wrong, or perhaps even more so, to use moral means to preserve immoral ends. | Martin Luther King Jr. | ||
| 4ef95ba | In a quip that makes the rounds, Jesus preached the coming of the kingdom, but it was the church that came. All these years later, the way many of us are doing church is broken and we know it, even if we do not know what to do about it. We proclaim the priesthood of all believers while we continue with hierarchical clergy, liturgy, and architecture. We follow a Lord who challenged the religious and political institutions of his time while w.. | Barbara Brown Taylor | ||

| 605dd05 | Oh. No wonder I'd been sick. I hadn't eaten anything since then. I'm a girl who likes her meals, so it hadn't been a weight-loss tactic. I'd just been too busy bumping from crisis to crisis. Go on the Sookie Stackhouse Narrow Avoidance of Death Diet! Run for your life, and miss meals, too! Exercise plus starvation. | Charlaine Harris | ||
| eecb359 | The security light made me feel safe, though I knew that was an illusion. If there's light, you can just see what's coming for you a little more clearly. | sookie-stackhouse | Charlaine Harris | |
| f164218 | I so seldom had to dispose of a human body myself, I was at a loss. Fairies turned into dust, and vampires flaked away. Demons had to be burned. Humans were very troublesome. | Charlaine Harris | ||
| 0506867 | Eric followed Vlad Tepes's stubby finger, identifying me as the future Happy Meal. Then he stared at Dracula, looking up from his kneeling position. I couldn't read his face at all, and I felt a stirring of fear. What would Charlie Brown have done if the Great Pumpkin wanted to eat the little red-haired girl? | Charlaine Harris | ||
| 89fa7a3 | It's hard not to respond when a master of the art of kissing is laying one on you. | kissing sookie-stackhouse | Charlaine Harris | |
| e425dbf | He was admired for never being at a loss for words and never wasting any either. | garrison keillor | ||
| 237d8d5 | Lies are infinite in number, and the truth so small and singular. | Barbara Kingsolver | ||
| 59a1f38 | I can think of no honorable answer. Why must some of us deliberate between brands of toothpaste, while others deliberate between damp dirt and bone dust to quiet the fire of an empty stomach lining? There is nothing about the United States I can really explain to this child of another world. | Barbara Kingsolver | ||
| ede553a | We are our injuries, as much as we are our successes. | Barbara Kingsolver | ||

| 4197b97 | A flower is a plant's way of making love. | Barbara Kingsolver | ||
| e51dd78 | To people who think of themselves as God's houseguests, American enterprise must seem arrogant beyond belief. Or stupid. A nation of amnesiacs, proceeding as if there were no other day but today. Assuming the land could also forget what had been done to it. | Barbara Kingsolver | ||
| e0e8239 | The thing is, it's my own fault. I just can't put up with a person that won't go out of his way for me. And that's what a man is. Somebody that won't go out of his way for you. I bet it says that in the dictionary. | Barbara Kingsolver | ||
| 8fd789c | Most of the girls my age, or even younger, have babies. They appear way too young to be married, till you look in their eyes. Then you'll see it. Their eyes look happy and sad at the same time, but unexcited by anything, shifting easily off to the side as if they've already seen most of what there is. Married eyes. | Barbara Kingsolver | ||
| 94336f0 | Love is to people what water is to plants. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 557344d | There is, inside all our heads, the ego's rabid attack dog. It is purely vicious toward others and toward ourselves as well. Learning to control that dog, and ultimately to end its life, is the process and purpose of enlightened relationships. | forgiveness | Marianne Williamson | |
| f21dbf5 | Why does the social order feel the need to defend itself by evading the fact of real women, our faces and voices and bodies, and reducing the meaning of women to these formulaic and endlessly reproduced "beautiful" images? Though unconscious personal anxieties can be a powerful force in the creation of a vital lie, economic necessity practically guarantees it. An economy that depends on slavery needs to promote images of slaves that "justif.. | aging beauty body-image cosmetic-surgery cosmetics culture diet-industry double-standards eating-disorders equality fashion-industry feminism images magazines marketing mass-culture objectification plastic-surgery pornography self-esteem sexuality society | Naomi Wolf |
