| ee50855 | Couples take care of each other, Clare, that's what makes them a couple. And couples tell each other when something happens that scares them. | Nora Roberts | ||
| af2de99 | It's about us. It's about trust. | Nora Roberts | ||
| 5c11385 | It's good to be with someone when you know you matter. Not assume," she qualified, "but know. To be with someone, who even when you don't think you want or need it, will stand up for you. Someone who sends you flowers and buys you magic wands. I'm not going to look around the corner for what's next." | Nora Roberts | ||
| 9c81305 | Do you think I'd leave you alone when you're twisted up like this? I tell you I love you, and it feels like I broke your heart." "No one has ever said that to me. In my life, no one's ever said those words to me." "I'm making you a promise right here that you'll hear them from me every day." | Nora Roberts | ||
| 4029fe0 | You got used to running things on your own." "What could he do about it when he's in Iraq and the car breaks down in Kansas?" Beckett gave her a long, quiet look. "I'm not in Iraq." "No, and it has to be said, I'm not in Kansas anymore." She lifted her hands, then let them fall. "It's not that I've forgotten how to be a couple, but that my experience in being part of one is different from yours. Maybe from most people's. And I've been on.. | Nora Roberts | ||
| 3640924 | You're pretty sassy this morning, son. Is it all about Reingold's rulings?" "That didn't suck, but I've got me a fascinating, beautiful woman I'm falling for. Falling hard." "Quick work." "In the blood. My mama and daddy barely did more than look at each other, and that was that. She's got me, Russ. Right here." He tapped a fist on his heart. "Surely it's not considerably lower where she's got you?" "There, too. But, Jesus, Russ, she does i.. | Nora Roberts | ||
| b18d8b0 | He was a wild one as a lad, and there's a look about him that says he could be again." Kathy sighed. "I've always had a soft spot for a wild heart in a man. Have you no sweetheart in the States then, Jude?" "No." She thought briefly of William. Had she ever considered her husband her sweetheart? "No one special." "If they're not special, what would the point be?" | Nora Roberts | ||
| 1e40836 | Aidan to Jude: What's wrong with running away if where you were didn't suit you? Doesn't it follow you're funning to something else? Something that does suit you? | Nora Roberts | ||
| 2ebb2b5 | Laying a hand on his heart, she timed its beats to her own. And knew the truest magic was there. | nell-channing zack-todd | Nora Roberts | |
| cd6e9fa | Something creaked beneath me! A soft step on rotting wood! I jumped startled, scared, and turned, expecting to see-God knows what! Then I sighed, for it was only Chris standing in the gloom, silently staring at me. Why? Did I look prettier than usual? Was it the moonlight, shining through my airy clothes? All random doubts were cleared when he said in a voice gritty and low, "You look beautiful sitting there like that." He cleared the f.. | V.C. Andrews | ||
| 8c10915 | And thank you for saying all of that, and for loving me, for you haven't gone unloved, or unadmired, yourself. | admired incest love loving thankfulness unadmired unloved | V.C. Andrews | |

| 6001b7f | You didn't create yourself, so there is no way you can tell yourself what you were created for. | Rick Warren | ||

| 66ffa46 | Prisons are hate factories, Pastor, and society wants more and more of them. | John Grisham | ||
| 87ebe54 | She grabbed the bills. "Alright, you rat bastard, you win." She stuffed the money in her back pocket. "But I'm only taking it because I'm greedy and desperate, and because there's no door on that room so you can't get too frisky. "Fair enough." "I mean it, Dean. If you try to cop even one feel..." "Me? What about you?" His eyes slid over her like cool icing on hot spice cake. "How about this, double or nothing." "What are you taking about?.. | Susan Elizabeth Phillips | ||
| 44f1536 | No one said we had to spend every waking moment together," he said, "but at the end of the day"-he leaned and kissed each of her eyebrows, in turn-"an most of the time during, there is no one I would rather see, no one whose voice I would rather hear, and no one whose mind I would rather explore." | bridgerton-series gareth hyacinth julia-quinn romance | Julia Quinn | |
| e124f48 | Daphne felt something wild and wicked take hold. "Let's walk in the garden," she said softly. "We can't." "We must." "We can't." | daphne-bridgerton duke-of-hastings julia-quinn simon-basset the-duke-and-i | Julia Quinn | |
| a510111 | She glowered at him. 'For your information, in the past week, I have been, oh let's see, nearly raped, kidnapped, tied to a bedpost, forced to cough my voice into nothingness-" "That was your own fault." "Not to mention the fact that I embarked upon a life of crime by breaking and entering into my former home, was nearly trapped by my odious guardian-" "Don't forget your sprained ankle," he supplied. "Ooooohhhh! I could kill you!" Another b.. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 89972a1 | And your eyes . . . ," she continued, emboldened by his reaction. "Women would kill for eyes that color, did you know?" He shook his head, and something about his expression--so baffled, so overcome--made her smile with pure joy." | the-sum-of-all-kisses | Julia Quinn | |
| 896c2be | The two of you together are a menace," Penelope remarked. "My aim in life," Lady Danbury announced, "is to be a menace to as great a number of people as possible, so I shall take that as the highest of compliments, Mrs. Bridgerton." "Why is it," Penelope wondered, "that you only call me Mrs. Bridgerton when you are opining in a grand fashion?" "Sounds better that way," Lady D said, punctuating her remark with a loud thump of her cane." | Julia Quinn | ||
| a11bc67 | People will think you're courting me.' 'Nonsense, everyone knows I don't court respectable women. | hyacinth-bridgerton | Julia Quinn | |
| cc89cf6 | I love you, too," she said. He took her face in his hands and kissed her, once, deeply, on the mouth. "I mean," he said, "I really love you." She quirked a brow. "Is this a contest?" "It is anything you want," he promised. She grinned, that enchanting, perfect smile that was so quintessentially hers. "I feel I must warn you, then," she said, cocking her head to the side. "When it comes to contests and games, I always win." "Always?" Her eye.. | Julia Quinn | ||
| 2c7775e | What?" "You're so neat," she said, looking almost embarrassed. He glanced pointedly over his shoulder. "There are four hundred on the other side of this door." "But you're ruining me." "I can't do it neatly?" | Julia Quinn | ||
| ec26d8d | Society is capricious and rewards the bad as often as the good. But it never rewards the quiet. | Julia Quinn | ||
| c254443 | I wonder-maybe the key is balance. Maybe it's about living in the moment while still keeping your eye on the big picture-on all the pictures. | Sarah Mlynowski | ||
| 9adbd36 | If you challenge conventional wisdom, you will find ways to do things much better than they are currently done. Bill James | Michael Lewis | ||
| f891b61 | That was the problem with money: What people did with it had consequences, but they were so remote from the original action that the mind never connected the one with the other. | Michael Lewis | ||
| 71e95e1 | I was gonna put him on the bus...I got tired of him talking, it was time for him to go home. | Michael Lewis | ||
| 033dbac | That's what happens when you're thirty-seven years old: you do the things you always did but the result is somehow different. | baseball moneyball | michael lewis | |
| 87ba25a | Rhino-mounted Bantu shock troops could have overthrown the Roman Empire. It never happened. | Jared Diamond | ||
| 129c9c6 | Fiction can be more real to the reader than reality itself because fiction is the of life | James N. Frey | ||
| de6860f | Enemies are a given. Friends are not. | jago-tlaloc sarah-alopay | James Frey | |
| 70b4b85 | I want as much time in the darkness as I can possibly have. The darkness provides cover, the darkness provides places to hide and the darkness provides comfort. Darkness usually comes around dinner, but dinner would be too obvious. | James Frey | ||
| 4ae714a | Not at all. It's why people come. They say it's about looking smart, or beautiful, or professional, but it's not. Gray-haired ladies try to recapture their former brunette. Brunettes want to go blond. Other women go for colors that don't arise in nature. Each group thinks it's completely different than the others, but I don't see it that way. I've watched them looking at themselves in the mirror, and they're not interested in conforming or .. | hair individuality self | Antony John | |
| f4c1901 | Human knowledge is one thing, human wellbeing another. There is no predetermined harmony between the two. The examined life may not be worth living. | John Gray | ||
| 69e4f05 | In marching, in mobs, in football games, and in war, outlines become vague; real things become unreal and a fog creeps over the mind. Tension and excitement, weariness, movement--all merge in one great gray dream, so that when it is over, it is hard to remember how it was when you killed men or ordered them to be killed. Then other people who were not there tell you what it was like and you say vaguely, "yes, I guess that's how it was." | John Steinbeck | ||
| cf6bceb | Ayla, I looked for you all my life and didn't know I was looking. You are everything I ever wanted, everything I ever dreamed of in a woman, and more. You are a fascinating enigma, a paradox. You are totally honest, open; you hide nothing: yet you are the most mysterious woman I've ever met. | jondalar love | Jean M. Auel | |
| f8cd5ae | Habit will be your champion. When you train the mind to think one way and one way only, when you refuse to allow it to think in another, that will produce great strength in battle. | Steven Pressfield | ||
| a7adc59 | To yield to Resistance deforms our spirit. It stunts us and makes us less than we are and were born to be. | meant-to-be purpose resistance soul spirit | Steven Pressfield | |
| 0d231c3 | In other words, any act that rejects immediate gratification in favor of long-term grown, health, or integrity. Or, expressed another way, any act that derives from our high nature instead of our lower. Any of these will elicit Resistance. | drive instant-gratification purpose resistance | Steven Pressfield | |
| 9b38ad1 | The paradox seems to be, as Socrates demonstrated long ago, that the truly free individual is free only to the extent of his own self-mastery. While those who will not govern themselves are condemned to find masters to govern over them. | Steven Pressfield |
