| b815813 | He's like a drug for you, Bella. I see that you can't live without him now. It's too late. But I would have been healthier for you. Not a drug; I would have been the air, the sun. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 8dd204f | You've got a bit of a temper, don't you? | Stephenie Meyer | ||

| 7e596f3 | You don't get a lot of suicidal vampires. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 1ccba33 | I was tired enough to sleep, but I fought against the weariness. I wasn't going to miss a second of the time I had with him. Now and then, as he talked with Alice, he would lean down suddenly and kiss me--his glass-smooth lips brushing against my hair, my forehead, the tip of my nose. Each time it was like an electric shock to my long dormant heart. The sound of its beating seemed to fill the entire room. It was heaven--right smack in the m.. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 45a4769 | And then, as the room went black, I was suddenly hyperaware that Edward was sitting less than an inch from me. I was stunned by the unexpected electricity that flowed through me, amazed that it was possible to be more aware of him than I already was. A crazy impulse to reach over and touch him, to stroke his perfect face just once in the darkness, nearly overwhelmed me. I crossed my arms tightly across my chest, my hands balling into fists... | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| cf6f02d | Mike's eyes narrowed shrewdly. "Don't kid yourself, Bella. The guy's head over heels for you." "I know," I sighed. "Life is complicated." "And girls are cruel," Mike said under his breath." | Stephenie Meyer | ||

| 515e9cb | Be honest, how hideous do I look?" He took another step back and pursed his lips. "That bad, huh?" I muttered. No, no Bella. Actually. . ." He seemed to be struggling for the right word. "You look. . .sexy." I laughed out loud. "Right." Very sexy, really." | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 585fc4a | One never took the time to savour the details; one said: another day, but always with the hidden knowledge that each day was unique and fatal, that there never would be a return, another time. | Paul Bowles | ||
| aaa20a2 | Someone once had said to her that the sky hides the night behind it, shelters the person beneath from the horror that lies above. Unblinking, she fixed the solid emptiness, and the anguish began to move in her. At any moment the rip can occur, the edges fly back, and the giant maw will be revealed. | Paul Bowles | ||
| 3aa2397 | Put a man in the wrong atmosphere and nothing will function as it should. He will seem unhealthy in every part. Put him back into his proper element and everything will blossom and look healthy. But if he is not in his right element, what then? Well, then he just has to make the best of appearing before the world as a cripple. | atmosphere environment society world | Ludwig Wittgenstein | |
| 51ceaca | This is the autumn of wonders, yet every day, every single day, I go back to that burned afternoon in August when T. Ray left. I go back to that one moment when I stood in the driveway with small rocks and clumps of dirt around my feet and looked back at the porch. And there they were. All these mothers. I have more mothers than any eight girls off the street. They are the moons shining over me. | Sue Monk Kidd | ||
| 9d6f83a | With winter the feeling had deepened. I would see a neighbor running along the sidewalk in front of the house, training, I imagined, for a climb up Kilimanjaro. Or a friend at my book club giving a blow-by-blow of her bungee jump from a bridge in Australia. Or - and this was the worst of all - a TV show about some intrepid woman traveling alone in the blueness of Greece, and I'd be overcome by the little sparks that seemed to run beneath al.. | Sue Monk Kidd | ||
| a6a9d57 | Every living creature on the earth is special. You want to be the one that puts an end to one of them? | morals | Sue Monk Kidd | |
| b8036d3 | I realize I'm trying to work out the boundaries. How to love her without interfering. How to step back and let her have her private world and yet still be an intimate part of it. When she talks about her feelings, I have to consciously tell myself she wants me to receive them, not fix them. | Sue Monk Kidd | ||
| 80103a2 | What is, is what must be. | Richard Adams | ||
| 9adb328 | When the man was disgraced and told to go away, he was allowed to ask all the animals whether any of them would come with him and share his fortunes and his life. There were only two who agreed to come entirely of their own accord, and they were the dog and the cat. And ever since then, those two have been jealous of each other, and each is for ever trying to make man choose which one he likes best. Every man prefers one or the other. | cats companions dogs pets | Richard Adams | |
| ee2f1d5 | We are liable to miss the best of life if we do not know how to tingle, if we do not learn to hoist ourselves just a little higher than we generally are in order to sample the rarest and ripest fruit of art which human thought has to offer. | books growth literature meaning reading words | Vladimir Nabokov | |
| 076f58c | Comme un fou se croit Dieu, nous nous croyons mortels. | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| e41d0fd | I got out of the car and slammed its door. How matter-of-fact, how square that slam sounded in the void of the sunless day! Woof, commented the dog perfunctorily. I pressed the bell button, it vibrated through my whole system. Personne. Je resonne. Repersonne. From what depth this re-nonsense? Woof, said the dog. A rush and a shuffle, and woosh-woosh went the door. Couple of inches taller. Pink-rimmed glasses. New, heaped-up hairdo, new ear.. | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| 5fe2a83 | I recall the scent of some kind of toilet powder - I believe she stole it from her mother's Spanish maid - a sweetish, lowly, musky perfume. It mingled with her own biscuity odor, and my senses were suddenly filled to the brim; a sudden commotion in a nearby bush prevented them from overflowing - and as we drew away from each other, and with aching veins attended to what was probably a prowling cat, there came from the house her mother's v.. | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| f064302 | Why not leave their private sorrows to people? Is sorrow not, one asks, the only thing in the world people really possess? | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| ee35cc9 | Just like a man grieving because he has recently lost in his dreams some thing that he had never had in reality, or hoping that tomorrow he would dream that he found it again. That is how mathematics is created; it has its fatal flaw. | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| 1bc83a0 | Even while writing his book, he had become painfully aware how little he knew his own planet while attempting to piece together another one from jagged bits filched from deranged brains. | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| e5bbb4c | I have the European urge to use my feet when a drive can be dispensed with | Vladimir Nabokov | ||

| 314226f | Woe to the man whose heart has not learned while young to hope, to love - and to put it's trust in life! | Joseph Conrad | ||
| 0a4ae51 | There is no peace and no rest in the development of material interests. They have their law, and their justice. But it is founded on expediency, and is inhuman; it is without rectitude, without the continuity and the force that can be found only in a moral principle. | Joseph Conrad | ||
| 209b078 | O youth! The strenght of it, the faith of it, the imagination of it! (...) I think of her with pleasure, with affection, with regret - as you would think of some one dead you have loved. I shall never forget her.... Pass the bottle. | Joseph Conrad | ||
| f5ae4f5 | No fear can stand up to hunger, no patience can wear it out, disgust simply does not exist where hunger is; and as to superstition, beliefs, and what you may call principles, they are less than chaff in a breeze. Don't you know the devilry of lingering starvation, its exasperating torment, its black thoughts, its sombre and brooding ferocity? Well, I do. It takes a man all is inborn strength to fight hunger properly. It's really easier to f.. | Joseph Conrad | ||
| 49760ae | It made you feel very small, very lost, and yet it was not altogether depressing, that feeling. After all, if you were small, the grimy beetle crawled on - which was just what you wanted it to do. | Joseph Conrad | ||
| cd9d552 | With my friends, the sad truth is that our best "best friend" days are behind us. In college, we used to be able to meet each other in the common area of our off-campus housing, excited about our evening ahead, which consisted of someone making an enormous tureen of pasta and drinking wine from a box while we took turns regaling each other with details of our terrible love lives." | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 41f72b7 | I can't for the life of me not eat something that I want to eat. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| c86fd26 | There are not many relationships more powerful than that of two women who fall fast and deep into a friendship. It was heartbreaking to be loved and left. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| 964513f | 1) There is no sunrise so beautiful that it is worth waking me up to see it. (2) I would like to be friends with Beyonce Knowles. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| fce32ea | What? I have a cold. Don't get a look of terror on your face. The worst that could happen is that you'll get a cold, too. You don't have to theatrically Purell a thousand times a day and look all panicky every time I come into the room. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| b382db9 | Sometimes a story just needs an ending, and I used to not be a creative enough person to think of an ending to a romantic story that isn't a wedding or a death. This story didn't end in fireworks, because the truth is, fireworks are something from my twenties. I could have made fireworks, but I chose to make a nuanced memory of a person who is neither a hero nor a villain in my life. All I had to do now was move on. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| d0eb8ec | What is the knocking? What is the knocking at the door in the night? It is somebody who wants to do us harm. No, no, it is the three strange angels. Admit them, admit them. | D.H. Lawrence | ||
| 8124f80 | For to desire is better than to possess, the finality of the end was dreaded as deeply as it was desired. | D.H. Lawrence | ||
