| 998e0a8 | He fell in love with Manhattan's skyline, like a first-time brothel guest falling for a seasoned professional. He mused over her reflections in the black East River at dusk, dawn, or darkest night, and each haloed light-in a tower or strung along the jeweled and sprawling spider legs of the Brooklyn Bridge's spans-hinted at some meaning, which could be understood only when made audible by music and encoded in lyrics. | Arthur Phillips | ||
| 49cd085 | As a teenager, I began to question the Great Christian Sorting System. My gay friends in high school were kind and funny and loved me, so I suspected that my church had placed them in the wrong category... Injustices in the world needed to be addressed and not ignored. Christians weren't good; people who fought for peace and justice were good. I had been lied to, and in my anger at being lied to about the containers, I left the church.

| 8d0b54c | There is a world out there, so new, so random and disassociated that it puts us all in danger. We talk online, we 'friend' each other when we don't know who we are really talking to - we fuck strangers. We mistake almost anything for a relationship, a community of sorts, and yet, when we are with our families, in our communities, we are clueless, we short-circuit and immediately dive back into the digitized version - it is easier, because w.. | technology | A.M.

| e98a150 | The secret of happiness is to enjoy the moment, without allowing unhappy memories or fear of the future to shadow the shining present. | Elizabeth Peters | ||
| 9f0ed10 | I spent the next fifteen minutes convincing a crying werewolf that I wasn't going to hurt her. My life was getting too strange, even for me. | humor | Laurell K. Hamilton | |
| 40b629c | How do you introduce boyfriend C to boyfriend A after boyfriend A has been such a good sport, of late, about boyfriend B, who is no longer in the picture? | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| e40a2e3 | My least favorite thing was a man who had severe white-man's ass, where the jeans just bagged over the butt. I wanted something to hold on to, something to sink my teeth into. When I said I liked meat on my men I didn't just mean one thing. | humor | Laurell K. Hamilton | |

| 869335a | Twenty-three stories up and all I could see out the windows was grey smog. They could call it the City of the Angels if they wanted to, but if there were angels out there, they had to be flying blind. | oxymoron sarcasm | Laurell K. Hamilton | |
| c154ebb | He didn't look the least bit tired. A morning person, even after no sleep at all. It was disgusting. | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| 1484d95 | He doesn't pretend," the punk pixie said. He nodded toward Doyle. "Nice rings. You got anything else pierced?" "Yes," Doyle said. The boy smiled, making the rings in the edge of his nose and his bottom lip curl cheerfully with it. "Me too," he said." | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||

| 7d90451 | Therapy can get you only so far with exorcising your childhood nightmares; after that it's willpower, and you, and people you can trust to hold your hand along the way. | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| 2d70ecd | How we pay attention to the present moment largely determines the character of our experience and, therefore, the quality of our lives. Mystics and contemplatives have made this claim for ages--but a growing body of scientific research now bears it out. | Sam Harris | ||
| 69b0290 | Everyone who has eyes to see can see that if the God of Abraham exists, He is an utter psychopath--and the God of Nature too. If you can't see these things just by looking, you have simply closed your eyes to the realities of our world. | Sam Harris | ||

| f7711e3 | Once a person believes - really believes - that certain ideas can lead to eternal happiness, or to its antithesis, he cannot tolerate the possibility that the people he loves might be led astray by the blandishments of unbelievers.

| 9d9e38d | But sometimes, very occasionally, songs and books and films and pictures express who you are perfectly.

I remember arriving in the city for the first time, passing with my parents through the First World's Club bouncers at Immigration, getting into a massive cab that didn't have a moment to waste, and falling in love as soon as we shot onto the bridge and I saw Manhattan rise up through the looks of parental terror reflected in the window.
