| 3590b7d | Wow, it really snowed last night! Isn't it wonderful? Everything familiar has disappeared! The world looks brand new! A new year ... a fresh, clean start!

| 2ad648b | Everyone thinks you've been kidnapped," he said. "We've been scouring the ship. When Coach Hedge finds out- oh, gods, you've been here all night?" "Frank!" Annabeth's ears were as red as strawberries. "We just came down here to talk. We fell asleep. Accidentally. That's it." "Kissed a couple of times," Percy said. Annabeth glared at him. "Not helping!" | kissing funny humor oh-my-god-percy otp-foreva lol | Rick Riordan | |
| ada07a2 | It's funny how, in this journey of life, even though we may begin at different times and places, our paths cross with others so that we may share our love, compassion, observations, and hope. This is a design of God that I appreciate and cherish. | compassion motivational god hope life inspirational appreciation observation journey | Steve Maraboli | |

| 2c5f736 | It's like I'm thirteen again and he's my crush. All I'm aware of in this entire roomful of people is him. Where he is, what he's doing, who he's talking to. | love teen | Sophie Kinsella | |
| 1844e80 | When life itself seems lunatic, who knows where madness lies? Perhaps to be too practical is madness. To surrender dreams -- this may be madness. Too much sanity may be madness -- and maddest of all: to see life as it is, and not as it should be! | Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra | ||

| 2b418d4 | Do not allow me to forget you | love | Gabriel García Márquez | |
| 4b10f77 | Listen to what is being preached today. Look at everyone around us. You've wondered why they suffer, why they seek happiness and never find it. If any man stopped and asked himself whether he's ever held a truly personal desire, he'd find the answer. He'd see that all his wishes, his efforts, his dreams, his ambitions are motivated by other men. He's not really struggling even for material wealth, but for the second-hander's delusion - pres.. | happiness prestige society | Ayn Rand | |
| d4e03c4 | You fight your superficiality, your shallowness, so as to try to come at people without unreal expectations, without an overload of bias or hope or arrogance, as untanklike as you can be, sans cannon and machine guns and steel plating half a foot thick; you come at them unmenacingly on your own ten toes instead of tearing up the turf with your caterpillar treads, take them on with an open mind, as equals, man to man, as we used to say, and .. | truth | Philip Roth | |

| 2918c52 | I look up at the sky, wondering if I'll catch a glimpse of kindness there, but I don't. All I see are indifferent summer clouds drifting over the Pacific. And they have nothing to say to me. Clouds are always taciturn. I probably shouldn't be looking up at them. What I should be looking at is inside of . Like staring down into a deep well. Can I see kindness there? No, all I see is my own nature. My own individual, stubborn, uncooperative .. | fugu shoelaces geese beer cambridge | Haruki Murakami | |
| 09b45f2 | People sometimes sneer at those who run every day, claiming they'll go to any length to live longer. But I don't think that's the reason most people run. Most runners run not because they want to live longer, but because they want to live life to the fullest. If you're going to while away the years, it's far better to live them with clear goals and fully alive than in a fog, and I believe running helps you do that. Exerting yourself to the .. | meaning running | Haruki Murakami | |

| 53f0d5d | What's so unpleasant about being drunk?" "Ask a glass of water!" | humour jokes | Douglas Adams | |
| 702329f | Another thing that got forgotten was the fact that against all probability a sperm whale had suddenly been called into existence several miles above the surface of an alien planet. And since this is not a naturally tenable position for a whale, this poor innocent creature had very little time to come to terms with its identity as a whale before it then had to come to terms with not being a whale any more. This is a complete record of its th.. | sperm-whale | Douglas Adams | |
| 4bcaddf | If you reveal your secrets to the wind, you should not blame the wind for revealing them to the trees. | Kahlil Gibran | ||
| fd25e59 | I have noticed that even those who assert that everything is predestined and that we can change nothing about it still look both ways before they cross the street | death destiny life | Stephen W. Hawking | |
| 89eb2a0 | You cannot say 'no' to the people you love, not often. That's the secret. And then when you do, it has to sound like a 'yes'. Or you have to make them say 'no.' You have to take time and trouble. | Mario Puzo | ||

| 247390f | He leaned forward to inspect her closer. "Is that all hair?" ... Sudden, overwhelming panic clawed up Cress's throat.

She crouched there, skin burning hot and pulse thundering as she took in the room before her-- the room that he was now seeing too, with the rumpled bedcovers and the mustached man .. | humor cress thorne | Marissa Meyer | |
