| 8b4e7d6 | All I did was go to sleep. There shouldn't be anything safer than that. (Kiara) Spoken like a true civilian. Trust me, princess, that's the most dangerous thing anyone does...Well, that, and go to the can. (Nykyrian) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| e197989 | If you threaten Vane or his brothers again, I'm going to show you just how human I am. I will don my camouflage, hunt you down, and skin you while you scream. Do you understand me? | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| ca2892d | Our blood don't run. Sometimes we want to. Sometimes we ought to. But we don't ever run from anyone or anything. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 2836ef5 | This has been one seriously fucked-up day, huh? (Wren) You might say that. This morning it was 2005 in New Orleans, I was staring at you wondering what it would be like to have the ability to change into a tiger. Now it's the day before I enter the world in 1981 and I can turn into a tiger. Yeah, just your average day...if you're in a Ted Raimi production. (Maggie) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 31f006e | I know I'm Charonte and we defer to our females, but you have to respect the fact that I'm Charonte and we protect our females to the end. You be my female. I be protecting. (Xedrix) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 920f945 | Man, quit hugging me. You are a perv. (Fang) You're such an asshole. (Vane) Daddy said a bad word! (Trace) You tell him, pup. Keep your daddy straight. (Fang) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 55087df | Whoever had said that the hand rocked the cradle ruled the world must have has a Southern,born bred mother. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 7c3901f | I don't want you skinny, Bride. I like you as you are." His breath tickled her neck as he spoke and sent heat all over her. "My people have a saying. Meat is for the man, the bone is for the dog." "Yeah, but you're both." "And when given a choice between ribs and steak, I go for top choice every time." | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 77bfea1 | I'm telling you people; its a zombie attack. Z to the Oto the M to the B to the I,E. ZOMBIE..." -Bubba" | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| c022b01 | It's easy now - it's middle-aged lady, nobody's looking, nobody notices. I go without lipstick if I feel like it, and I always wear my comfy clothes. It's a life with fewer distractions, but should something beautiful show up, a middle-aged woman is free to stare. | Abigail Thomas | ||
| c718a58 | The Consul felt a pang. Ah, to have a horse, and gallop away, singing, to someone you loved perhaps, into the heart of all the simplicity and peace in the world; was that not like the opportunity afforded man by life itself? Of course not. Still, just for a moment, it had seemed that it was. | Malcolm Lowry | ||
| 7dc0030 | A little self-knowledge is a dangerous thing. | Malcolm Lowry | ||
| b7a6120 | But one of the hallmarks of emotional maturity is to recognize the validity of multiple realities and to understand that people think, feel, and react differently. Often we behave as if "closeness" means "sameness." | Harriet Lerner | ||
| 1928d68 | Our society doesn't promote self-acceptance and it never will. First of all, self-acceptance doesn't sell products. Capitalism would fall if we liked ourselves the way we are now. Also, people who feel shamed and inadequate themselves tend to pass it on. I'm sure you've noticed that many individuals and groups try to enhance their self-esteem by diminishing others. | Harriet Lerner | ||
| 83fca4b | We cannot make another person change his or her steps to an old dance, but if we change our own steps, the dance no longer can continue in the same predictable pattern. 4. | Harriet Lerner | ||
| 84a25d4 | She thought about how it was so simple with animals. They gave their hearts without question or fear. They had no expectations. They were so easy to love. If people could only be like that, no one would ever be hurt, she thought. No one would ever need to learn how to forgive. | forgiveness love | Elizabeth George | |
| e68beca | I hate to be what is called a clever girl--there are too many of that sort now! | Thomas Hardy | ||
| ed62172 | Misfortune is a fine opiate to personal terror. | Thomas Hardy | ||
| 0dfee4b | you are absolutely the most ethereal, least sensual woman I ever knew to exist without inhuman sexlessness. | sensual sue-bridehead woman | Thomas Hardy | |
| ad9d9bc | She heard footsteps brushing the grass, and had a consciousnesss that love was encircling her like a perfume. | Thomas Hardy | ||
| a44fbb3 | In the ill-judged execution of the well-judged plan of things the call seldom produces the comer, the man to love rarely coincides with the hour for loving | love | Thomas Hardy | |
| 17608b1 | Under the trees several pheasants lay about, their rich plumage dabbled with blood; some were dead, some feebly twitching a wing, some staring up at the sky, some pulsating quickly, some contorted, some stretched out--all of them writhing in agony except the fortunate ones whose tortures had ended during the night by the inability of nature to bear more. With the impulse of a soul who could feel for kindred sufferers as much as for herself,.. | Thomas Hardy | ||
| 0f1f47a | The weeping of the guitar begins. The goblets of dawn are smashed. The weeping of the guitar begins. Useless to silence it. Impossible to silence it. It weeps monotonously as water weeps as the wind weeps over snowfields. Impossible to silence it. It weeps for distant things. Hot southern sands yearning for white camellias. Weeps arrow without target evening without morning and the first dead bird on the branch. Oh, .. | Federico García Lorca | ||
| 942800c | To all pimps and whores a merry syphilis and a happy gonorrhea. | Graham Greene | ||
| 5bbb518 | Officially she was there to liaise with me on the case, but really she was there for the wide-screen TV, takeaways and the unresolved sexual tension. | Ben Aaronovitch | ||
| ff6a27a | So that's when I came up with the most ridiculous plan since I'd decided to take a witness statement from a ghost. It was a plan so stupid that even Baldrick would have rejected it out of hand. | peter-grant | Ben Aaronovitch | |
| 42055ff | Take away religion, take away philosophy, take away the higher aims of art, and you deprive ordinary people of the ways in which they can represent their apartness. Human nature, once something to live up to, becomes something to live down to instead. Biological reductionism nurtures this 'living down', which is why people so readily fall for it. It makes cynicism respectable and degeneracy chic. It abolishes our kind, and with it our kindn.. | Roger Scruton | ||
| 13ce9e2 | I, a product of the New Frontier and Great Society, honestly believed that the world pretty much owed me a living--all I had to do was wait around in order to live better than my parents. | expectations | Anthony Bourdain | |
| 45f46ec | My love for chaos, conspiracy and the dark side of human nature colors the behavior of my charges, most of whom are already living near the fringes of acceptable conduct. | Anthony Bourdain | ||
| b55657e | I wanted to write in Kitchenese, the secret language of cooks, instantly recognizable to anyone who has ever dunked french fries for a summer job or suffered under the despotic rule of a tyrannical chef or boobish owner. | reality | Anthony Bourdain | |
| e312900 | Socrates: So even our walks are dangerous here. But you seem to have avoided the most dangerous thing of all. Bertha: What's that? Socrates: Philosophy. Bertha: Oh, we have philosophers here. Socrates: Where are they? Bertha: In the philosophy department. Socrates: Philosophy is not department. Bertha: Well, we have philosophers. Socrates: Are they dangerous? Bertha: Of course not. Socrates: Then they are not true philosophers. | seeking truth-telling | Peter Kreeft | |

| a4abac0 | What is your name?" "Again sir, that is no concern of yours." "A mystery," he said. "I shall have to call you Clorinda." ..... "Judith! What the devil? exclaimed Peregrine. "Has there been an accident?" "Judith," repeated the gentleman of the curricle pensively. "I prefer Clorinda." | Georgette Heyer | ||
| f54ef30 | If it comes to that," retorted Frederica, with spirit, " I am continually shocked by the things you don't scruple to say to me,cousin! You are quite abominable!" He sighed. "Alas, I know it! The reflection gives me sleepless nights." | Georgette Heyer | ||
| b16a911 | Miss Trent regarded her thoughtfully. "Well, it's an odd circumstance, but I've frequently observed that whenever you boast of your beauty you seem to lose some of it. I expect it must be the change in your expression." Startled, Tiffany flew to gaze anxiously into the ornate looking-glass which hung above the fireplace. "Do I?" she asked naively. "Really do I, Ancilla?" "Yes, decidedly," replied Miss Trent, perjuring her soul without the l.. | Georgette Heyer | ||
| 58f2e0c | It is in the nature of 9 men out of 10 that what may be theirs for the picking up, they are much inclined to despise, and what seems to be out of reach, they instantly and fervently desire. | Georgette Heyer | ||

| d7b8f92 | The techno-medical model of maternity care, unlike the midwifery model, is comparatively new on the world scene, having existed for barely two centuries. This male-derived framework for care is a product of the industrial revolution. As anthropologist Robbie Davis-Floyd has described in detail, underlying the technocratic mode of care of our own time is an assumption that the human body is a machine and that the female body in particular is.. | Ina May Gaskin | ||
| 620f7e5 | And where Nyarlathotep went, rest vanished, for the small hours were rent with the screams of nightmare. | H.P. Lovecraft | ||

| a967022 | Life is a hideous thing, and from the background behind what we know of it peer daemoniacal hints of truth which make it sometimes a thousandfold more hideous. Science, already oppressive with its shocking revelations, will perhaps be the ultimate exterminator of our human species--if separate species we be--for its reserve of unguessed horrors could never be borne by mortal brains if loosed upon the world. | H.P. Lovecraft |
