| 8308477 | Grown-ups like numbers. When you tell them about a new friend, they never ask questions about what really matters. They never ask: 'What does his voice sound like?' 'What games does he like best?' 'Does he collect butterflies?' They ask: 'How old is he?' 'How many brothers does he have?' 'How much does he weigh?' 'How much money does he have?' Only then do they think they know him. If you tell grown-ups, 'I saw a beautiful red brick house, .. | Antoine de Saint-Exupéry | ||
| 6a62663 | Nobody grasped you by the shoulder while there was still time. Now the clay of which you were shaped has dried and hardened, and naught in you will ever awaken the sleeping musician, the poet, the asronomer that possibly inhabited you in the beginning. | Antoine de Saint-Exupéry | ||
| f3b07bd | One day I saw the sun set forty-four times!' And a little later you added, 'You know, when you're feeling very sad, sunsets are wonderful...' 'On the day of the forty-four times, were you feeling very sad?' But the little prince didn't answer. | Antoine de Saint-Exupéry | ||
| dc2666f | Once upon a time there was a little prince who lived on a planet scarcely bigger than himself and who had need for a friend. | Antoine de Saint-Exupéry | ||
| 2e020c1 | I was sad, but I told them: "I am tired." | Antoine de Saint-Exupéry | ||
| ffaadb6 | Don't even know why, but I got to that part, and I...God, it hit me, you know? The truth of those damn words the Skin Horse spoke. Being real could hurt. That's what...what living is all about and the opposite is unimaginable. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| 2ed7dcf | Pretty much all women who wear pantsuits are evil. Kat's head tipped to the side. Okay. I do have to agree with that. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| fb07356 | there was only one set of eyes I saw when I closed mine at night and when I reopened them in the morning. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| 887393f | I remembered all the little things. Oh, yuck. I wanted to scrub my brain with detergent. And those things I'd yelled when I fought aiden - actually fought Scrub my brain? Add mouth and soul to that laundry list. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| fd22afc | Maybe I just needed to fuck her out of my system. That sounded like the best plan ever. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| 32df5d0 | Deacon looked up from under the mop of curls. "I'm becoming a fire bug." The humour was lost on Aiden. "I know what you're thinking." | deacon | Jennifer L. Armentrout | |
| db167fa | Yes?" Came the thin and reedy voice. I winced as I pushed the door open. Beth sounded terrible. And when I got an eyeful of her, she looked just as bad. Sitting up against the headboard with a mountain of blankets piled around her, she had dark circles under her eyes. Her pale, waiflike features were sharp, and her hair was an unwashed, tangled mess. I tried not to breathe too deeply, because the room smelled of vomit and sweat. I halted at.. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| ae2537f | Holy smokes, Kat whispered. The kid's like Damien from The Omen. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| a6b19d1 | Nothing lasts forever, Mouse. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| 01b57bf | Room is outfitted with onyx as a security precaution," he continued, his dark brown eyes focused on mine again. "In case you somehow are able to tap into the Source or attack any member of my staff. With hybrids, we never know the extent of your abilities." Right now I didn't think I'd be able to sit up without assistance, let alone go ninja on anyone." | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| c6cd125 | Don't ask me to give her up before I even really get to know her ... Because you're not going to like my response. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| c75d327 | What are you afraid of?" I asked again. "I thought you said I was afraid of nothing once," he threw back. "I did." Aiden shifted slightly and his thumb caressed the curve of my cheek. "I'm afraid of something." "What?" I whispered. He drew in a deep, shuddering breath. "I'm afraid of never being allowed to feel what I do." | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| bf356ab | It's the human condition, Kitten. The unknown isn't something that sits well. They'd rather push it away-not completely, but just enough that it's not always shadowing their every thought and action. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| d10210a | And I also know that although she wasn't mine now, she would be one day. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| 52da6be | Hunter smirked. "Nice to see you, too, Paris." Paris? All I could think of was Orlando Bloom and Brad Pitt." | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||

| a4698fa | You're brother is all excitable this morning," Daemon said. "For school. There's something inherently wrong with that." Dawson smirked. "There's something inherently wrong with the fact that Dee and I have to stand here and talk to you while you're in your boxers." | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| d061f0f | I knew right then I would burn down the whole universe for her if I had to. I would do anything to keep her safe. Kill. Heal. Die. Anything. Because she was my everything. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| d6ddf92 | You're beautiful, too. I mean, you're hot," I blurted out. "But I always knew you would be." my eyes widened as I realize what just streamed out of my mouth, and his grin to turn into a smile. "Oh my God, I did not just say... any of that out loud." "you did" "Ugh." | the-problem-with-forever | Jennifer L. Armentrout | |
| 73213cb | Irony was such a bitch. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| f96e666 | So grieve what you to do. Mourn it, but never, ever blame yourself for things that are beyond your control. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| a346764 | It's alright. I mean, sex can be messy sometimes and these things happen and... I really need to stop talking." Kyler chuckled deeply and then he kissed the tip of my nose. "Have I told you how adorable you are?" Adorable? I'd been aiming for sexy or hot. I shrugged one shoulder. "You're fucking adorable." | j-lynn jennifer-l-armentrout | Jennifer L. Armentrout | |
| 40b23f6 | I was forced to fall back upon the unsatisfactory conclusion, that while, beyond doubt, there are combinations of very simple natural objects which have the power of thus affecting us, still the analysis of this power lies among considerations beyond our depth. It was possible, I reflected, that a mere different arrangement of the particulars of the scene, of the details of the picture, would be sufficient to modify, or perhaps to annihilat.. | Edgar Allan Poe | ||
| 2979999 | And if I died, at least I died For thee! for thee | Edgar Allan Poe | ||
| 6714c74 | And then there stole into my fancy, like a rich musical note, the thought of what sweet rest there must be in the grave. | Edgar Allan Poe | ||
| f9176f3 | Now this is the point. You fancy me mad. Madmen know nothing. But you should have seen me. You should have seen how wisely I proceeded -with what caution -with what foresight -with what dissimulation I went to work! I was never kinder to the old man than during the whole week before I killed him. And every night, about midnight, I turned the latch of his door and opened it -oh so gently! And then, when I had made an opening sufficient for m.. | Edgar Allan Poe | ||
| 17dd90e | Can you ever "solve" disease, unemployment, war, or any other societal herpes? Hell no. All you can hope for is to make them manageable enough to allow people to get on with their lives. That's not cynicism, that's maturity." | maturity | Max Brooks | |
| 79ac1c1 | The official report was a collection of cold, hard data, an objective "after-action report" that would allow future generations to study the events of that apocalyptic decade without being influenced by the "human factor." But isn't the human factor what connects us so deeply to our past? Will future generations care as much for chronologies and casualty statistics as they would for the personal accounts of individuals not so different from.. | Max Brooks | ||
| 7b358fd | The highest distinction is service to others. | helping-hand service | Max Brooks | |
| bcc6965 | What, unless biological science is a mass of errors, is the cause of human intelligence and vigour? Hardship and freedom: conditions under which the active, strong, and subtle survive and the weaker go to the wall; conditions that put a premium upon the loyal alliance of capable men, upon self-restraint, patience, and decision. And the institution of the family, and the emotions that arise therein, the fierce jealousy, the tenderness for of.. | H.G. Wells | ||
| b57aee7 | The art of ignoring is one of the accomplishments of every well-bred girl, so carefully instilled that at last she can even ignore her own thoughts and her own knowledge. | H.G. Wells | ||
