| 2e75b82 | Was there much damage done to your ship? (Nykyrian) No, not really. Just enough to seriously piss me off and ruin my suckass day. (Syn) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 8e86a42 | I'm not ogling him for myself. I'm ogling him for you. It was, after all, your sex life we were discussing. (Selena) Well, my sex life is just hunky-dory, and not the business of the people in this restaurant. (Grace) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| d409db9 | I know what you think of me, O Great Acheron. I know how much you pity me and I don't need it. Do you honestly think I could ever forget the way you looked at me the first night we met? You stood there with horror in your eyes as you tried not to show it to me. Well, you achieved your good deed. You cleaned up your little foundling and made him all pretty and healthy. But don't even think that means I have to lick your boots or kiss your as.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 90a6304 | Fuck you, human. (Phoenix) Wow, boys and girls, they're just so inviting, aren't they. Martha Stewart would be proud. (Susan) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| da631c7 | Lying on his back, Jess kicked furiously at the windshield. "Damn. It. Break. Already. You. Sorry. Son. Of. A. Biscuit. Eating. Cat." | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 7e180d0 | If you muster that courage to stand under fire and not go down, you will amass an inner strength that no one can touch. You won't be another faceless, nameless, forgotten human in a long historical line of the defeated. You will be a steeled warrior, and a force to be forever reckoned with. And beneath the pain that lingers, you will have the comfort of knowing that you are strongest of all. That when others caved and broke, you kept fighti.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| e9c064c | You owe me this. You made me get rid of my assassin and now I have no control over those creatures that--" That you created," he added, interrupting her angry tirade. "Don't forget the important part here. The Dark-Hunters wouldn't exist at all had someone, and for the sake of your missing intellect let me clarify that, you, not stolen powers from me that could bring back the dead. I didn't need the Dark-Hunters to help me fight against the.. | pms | Sherrilyn Kenyon | |
| 7725aaa | Are you out of your fucking mind? I just got back and I can barely stand on my own. What do you want me to do? Bleed on them? (Fang) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||

| c555407 | Since when do Daimons fight their own kind? (Zarek) I was never a Daimon, Roman. (Spawn) And I was never a fucking Roman. (Zarek) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| eaeb352 | Vik? You ready? (Devyn) Your stupidity is what I live for, Captain. (Vik) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 4ba3d37 | Power without control is worthless." Acheron's favorite saying. At least it was Ash's pet phrase any time Nick got behind the wheel and laid into the accelerator. "Damn it, Nick! You've got to learn to go slow and not rush off into traffic at warp ten, especially not when it's heading straight for you!" Acheron's oth favorite rant where he was concerned." | ash driving-lessons nick-gautier | Sherrilyn Kenyon | |
| 7c08cfc | Can't you nudge her into submission? (Taryn) Are you kidding? As stubborn as she is? I'd fry my brain trying. (Sphinx) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| fdbf1c9 | It must stink to know everyone's future but your own. (Danger) You've no idea. It's actually cruel in my opinion. But then maybe it doesn't matter after all since futures can and do change. Something as simple as you're supposed to turn right down a street one day...and in your bones you know it, and yet for reasons no one understands, you decide to debunk fate and go left. Now instead of meeting the spouse of your dreams and having a hous.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| fbe8701 | To say nothing of what you lose, lose, lose, are losing, man. You fool, you stupid fool ... You've even been insulated from the responsibility of genuine suffering ... Even the suffering you do endure is largely unnecessary. Actually spurious. It lacks the very basis you require of it for its tragic nature. You deceive yourself. | Malcolm Lowry | ||
| a2a6e2d | We should be used to it," Tatiana reasons. "There have always been lines separating us from the rest of the world, whether they were satin ribbons or iron rails." | romanovs royalty russia russian-revolution tsar-nicholas | Sarah Miller | |
| f31fe4d | Maybe that's what Hell is, in the end. All of your wrongful shit played out there in front of you while you're being pumped from behind by someone you've hurt. That you've screwed over in life. Or worse, worse still...some person who doesn't really love you anymore. No one to ever look at again, make contact with. Just you being fucked as your life splashes out across this big headboard in the Devil's bedroom. Maybe. Even if that's not it, .. | Neil LaBute | ||
| 38aa6c2 | So why do we worry? Why do we worry about food and clothing About finances and money? About security and the needs of life? We have Jehovah-Rohi! We have the Lord as our caring Shepherd. When fears regarding the cares of this world set in, we need to confidently lean on God's promise to care for us. Then we can declare to God, "Whenever I am afraid, I will trust in You" (Psalm 56:3)" | spiritual-life | Elizabeth George | |
| 4493aeb | From that first moment, in a way she could never explain, the Meadows claimed her and made her their own. | Elizabeth George Speare | ||

| 3f8a06c | The impression of strength came from an extraordinary vitality that seemed to pulse in the very air around him | Elizabeth George Speare | ||
| e9d6a31 | Theirs was that substantial affection which arises (if any arises at all) when the two who are thrown together begin first by knowing the rougher sides of each other's character, and not the best till further on, the romance growing up in the interstices of a mass of hard prosaic reality. This good-fellowship--camaraderie--usually occurring through similarity of pursuits, is unfortunately seldom superadded to love between the sexes, because.. | Thomas Hardy | ||
| ab6cab9 | The most vigorous expression of a resolution does not always coincide with the greatest vigour of the resolution itself. It is often flung out as a sort of prop to support a decaying conviction which, whilst strong, required no enunciation to prove it so. | Thomas Hardy | ||
| a15bfaa | So that, whatever the stars were made for, they were not made to please our eyes. It is just the same in everything; nothing is made for man. | Thomas Hardy | ||
| 0cf2992 | You would hardly think, at first, that horrid monsters lie up there waiting to be discovered by any moderately penetrating mind--monsters to which those of the oceans bear no sort of comparison." What monsters may they be?" Impersonal monsters, namely, Immensities. Until a person has thought out the stars and their inter-spaces, he has hardly learnt that there are things much more terrible than monsters of shape, namely, monsters of magnitu.. | cosmic horror monsters science size universe | Thomas Hardy | |
| eb41847 | It is a difficult question, my friends, for any young man-- that question I had to grapple with, and which thousands are weighing at the present moment in these uprising times-- whether to follow uncritically the track he finds himself in, without considering his aptness for it, or to consider what his aptness or bent may be, and re-shape his course accordingly. I tried to do the latter, and I failed. But I don't admit that my failure prove.. | society young-men | Thomas Hardy | |
| 7c443f1 | O, you have torn my life all to pieces... made me be what I prayed you in pity not to make me be again! | Thomas Hardy | ||

| 4f69f4c | At five in the afternoon. It was exactly five in the afternoon. A boy brought the white sheet at five in the afternoon. A frail of lime ready prepared | Federico García-Lorca | ||
| 86673c1 | Callar y quemarse es el castigo mas grande que nos podemos echar encima | Federico García Lorca | ||
| fb6d270 | As soon as we stopped sleeping with our cousins and build walls, temples and a few decent nightclubs, society became too complex for any one person to grasp all at once, and thus bureaucracy was born. A bureaucracy breaks the complexity down into a series of interlocking systems. You don't need to know how the systems fit together, or even what function your bit of the system has, you just perform your bit and the whole machine creaks on. | ugly-truths | Ben Aaronovitch | |
| 8dd2484 | good-Samaritanism in London is considered an extreme sport - like base-jumping or crocodile-wrestling. | Ben Aaronovitch | ||
| 77969d6 | I'd been too intent on the room to hear her coming up the stairs. Leslie said that the capacity not to notice a traditional Dutch folk dancing band walk up behind you was not a survival characteristic in the complex, fast-paced world of the modern policing environment. I'd like to point out that I trying to give directions to a slightly deaf tourist at the time, and it was a Swedish dance troupe. | Ben Aaronovitch | ||
| 1d2f087 | My mum translated this in her head to "witchfinder," which was good because like most West Africans, she considered witchfinding a more respectable profession than policeman." | west-african witches | Ben Aaronovitch | |
| b2c69e2 | As I stepped onto the gloomy landing a word formed in my mind: two syllables, starts with a V and rhymes with dire. I froze in place. Nightingale said that everything was true, after a fashion, and that had to include vampires, didn't it? I doubted they were anything like they were in books and on TV, and one thing was for certain -- they absolutely weren't going to sparkle in the sunlight. | funny humour sparkle vampires | Ben Aaronovitch | |
| 47467e6 | It's a sad fact of modern life that if you drive long enough, sooner or later you must leave London behind. | humour london | Ben Aaronovitch | |

| c297153 | I ate and drank slowly as one should (cook fast, eat slowly) and without distractions such as (thank heavens) conversation or reading. Indeed eating is so pleasant one should even try to suppress thought. Of course reading and thinking are important but, my God, food is important too. How fortunate we are to be food-consuming animals. Every meal should be a treat and one ought to bless every day which brings with it a good digestion and the.. | Iris Murdoch | ||
| 1523a91 | I preferred an artist who transformed his time, not mirrored it." - reference to Andy Warhol" | Patti Smith | ||
| 67c74cc | Richard Dawkins and his followers have recycled the theory of evolution not as a biological theory but as a theory of everything - of what the human being is, what human communities are, what our problems are and how they're not really our problems, but the problems of our genes: we're simply answers that our genes have come up with, and it's rather awful to be the answer to someone else's question, especially when that thing is not a perso.. | Roger Scruton | ||
| bf0cc17 | It is not the truth of Marxism that explains the willingness of intellectuals to believe it, but the power that it confers on intellectuals, in their attempts to control the world. And since...it is futile to reason someone out of a thing that he was not reasoned into, we can conclude that Marxism owes its remarkable power to survive every criticism to the fact that it is not a truth-directed but a power-directed system of thought. | Roger Scruton |
