| baf8ab0 | I never wanted to see half the things I've seen, and I've never seen half the things I wanted to. I don't think wanting comes into it. You'd best go all the same. | George R.R. Martin | ||

| 9b3da5e | Never trust a man who doesn't like ice cream. If that's not a saying, it should be. | Christopher Farnsworth | ||

| 1cd4470 | Some people can seem perfect... everything about them can, on paper, be just right. Until you get to know them. Really know them. Then you find out, in the end, while they might be perfect to every one else, they just aren't right for you. | Meg Cabot | ||

| e0b7409 | But things were different now. I finally had my head -pun intended- on straight. | pun | Meg Cabot | |
| f9f83dc | I lay there in my black slip dress and wondered if I ought to have worn pants. I mean, who knew what I was going to find up there? What if I had to do some climbing? People might see my underwear. | humor | Meg Cabot | |

| d6ff522 | A year here and he still dreamed of cyberspace, hope fading nightly. All the speed he took, all the turns he'd taken and the corners he cut in Night City, and he'd still see the matrix in his dreams, bright lattices of logic unfolding across that colourless void... The Sprawl was a long, strange way home now over the Pacific, and he was no Console Man, no cyberspace cowboy. Just another hustler, trying to make it through. But the dreams cam.. | William Gibson | ||

| 05102e1 | Part of life is a quest to find that one essential person who will understand our story. But we choose wrongly so often.

And he will love me forever. | mariah p-s-i-love-you paul-strobe | Barbara Conklin | |

Obviously, leading the simple wabi-sabi life requires some effort and will and also some tough decisions... | Leonard Koren | ||

| 6bfab8e | I am so tired of the girl in the infirmary, I am so sick of the girl who cries wolf all the time - even though not one of those cries was ever a false alarm.
