| 1f29c6b | a dense wall of greenery bordered it, ...an impenetrable barrier of oaks, evergreen shrubs, blackberry that somehow resisted the frost, and thorns. In the defense department, the witches would make Sleeping Beauty's evil witch weep with jealousy. | kate park sleeping-beauty witches | Ilona Andrews | |

| e8b4866 | He hung up and glanced at me. "I'm sorry, I have to take care of business. It can't wait, but I'll keep it short." "Not a problem. I'll busy myself with being seen and tossing my hair. Would you like me to twirl it on my finger while biting my lip?" "Could you?" "No, sorry." I grinned at him" | hidden-legacy mad-rogan nevada-baylor | Ilona Andrews | |
| c457700 | So we have giant super-smart vipers who slithered in here, killed our people, opened the vault, stole something from it, and slithered out, undetected?" "Appears so." "Okay. Just wanted to make sure it wasn't something dangerous." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 25967e5 | I WALKED INTO my house to see the knight and the wizard sitting in my kitchen, drinking coffee. If you added in Julie's thieving skills and my sword, we almost had an adventuring party. "It's too bad we're missing a cleric," I said." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 7d5a41a | There is no such thing as privacy between a deity and his worshipper. There are no secrets, no glossed-over failures. Only promises kept and abandoned, sins committed and imagined, and raw emotion. How many of us are ready to have our lives judged? What would happen if we were found wanting? | Ilona Andrews | ||
| d0e4cf8 | The problem with all men, and werewolves in particular, was their odd perspective. Sean viewed the gash across his ribs as a scratch. I viewed it as an open wound made by a monomolecular blade able to cut through the werewolf armor and contaminate his body with extraterrestrial microorganisms and possibly poison. We agreed to meet somewhere in the middle. He allowed me to sterilize and seal the wound, and I promised to stop threatening to r.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 1d1038a | I leaned forward slightly and pulled the lower lid of my left eye down. "What the f**k?" the stocky, muscular woman behind Tremblay murmured. Not a melee fighter. She stood flat on her feet, planted like a tree, and carried no weapons. "She's asking you if you can see the care in her eye." Saiman said helpfully." | kate-daniels saiman | Ilona Andrews | |
| 73218c3 | You were right," she said softly. "I never could've killed them all by myself." "What did you say?" "I said you were right . . ." He gave her a dazzling grin. "One more time, my lady?" "You were right," she told him with a tired smile. "I don't think I'll ever get tired of hearing that." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| f2e3f52 | Ghastek, why haven't you married?" I asked. He gave me a thin-lipped smile. "Because if I were to get married, I would want to have a family. To me, marriage means children." "So what's the problem? Shooting blanks?" Desandra asked. Kill me." | ghastek kate-daniels | Ilona Andrews | |

| 5e799b7 | DID is about survival! As more people begin to appreciate this concept, individuals with DID will start to feel less as though they have to hide in shame. DID develops as a response to extreme trauma that occurs at an early age and usually over an extended period of time. | goal mental-health mental-illness mpd multiple-personality-disorder multiplicity response shame survival trauma | Deborah Bray Haddock | |

| cbef3dd | Pride is the beginning of sin. And what is pride but the craving for undue exaltation? And this is undue exaltation - when the soul abandons Him to whom it ought to cleave as its end, and becomes a kind of end to itself. | Augustine of Hippo | ||

| 87db272 | Whoever, then, thinks that he understands the Holy Scriptures, or any part of them, but puts such an interpretation upon them as does not tend to build up this twofold love of God and our neighbor, does not yet understand them as he ought. | bible-interpretation golden-rule love scriptures | Augustine of Hippo | |

| d279f49 | I know what you're going to say." "Then we can skip it and you can admit you're wrong." "I can't admit I'm wrong about two things in the same day." I brought my attention back to him, found him smirking at me. "It might bring about the apocalypse." "Then admit it tomorrow" | Penny Reid | ||
| a7f1377 | Is a chameleon a coward because it can change its color? No. It's evolved and awesome. I like to think of myself in a similar fashion. | Penny Reid | ||
| 820fc84 | Ashley, I caught a bear today in the new trap. We're taking it a hundred miles north. That's a hundred miles closer to where you are. I've decided units and measurements of distance are bullshit. With you there are only two distances that matter: Here. Not here. You are not here. - Drew | Penny Reid | ||

| 299b38b | Where I'm from," Tom tilted his head to the side, "they call your kind a hipster or a lumbersexual, with the beard and flannel and such." Without missing beat, Jethro responded, "Ah. See, where I'm from, they call my kind a man." | Penny Reid | ||
| a4a4c5e | Where are we going?" ... "Just this place I know with a waterfall and a cave. It's part of the estate, so no one uses it." "How nice," I said ... "We have a garage at my house. It holds a car and some of my dad's tools." Martin glanced at me, equal parts amused and confused. "Oh?" "Yes. And a hammock in the back yard." "Is that so..." "Yeah." "So no waterfalls?" "No. But this one time, when it rained a lot, the gutter broke. That was simila.. | Penny Reid | ||
| da019c5 | I'd learned from my mother that when someone gives you a subjective compliment--meaning one that can't be disproven and is based on opinion--but that you find to be completely false, rather than argue, it's much better to just say thank you, or I appreciate that and strive to be that compliment. Fools fight compliments, she'd said, and sometimes other people see you better than you can see yourself. | Penny Reid | ||
| 0ace8df | I would not always be joy, nor would I want inert contentment. Sorrow and struggle bring gravity to the soul and to the mind, a gravity that cannot be achieved through mere happiness. We are most awake to the world and to our own longings and desires when we suffer. | Penny Reid | ||
| 016b90c | Sometimes, a flame can be utterly extinguished. Sometimes, a flame can shrink and waver, but sometimes a flame refuses to go out. It flares up from the faintest ember to illuminate the darkness, to burn in spite of overwhelming odds. | Karen Hesse | ||
| f307885 | Many people view leadership the same way they view success, hoping to go as far as they can, to climb the ladder, to achieve the highest position possible for their talent. But contrary to conventional thinking, I believe the bottom line in leadership isn't how far we advance ourselves but how far we advance others. That is achieved by serving others and adding value to their lives. | John C. Maxwell | ||
| e87d54b | I always try to remember that I am a work in progress. When I maintain that perspective, I realize that I don't have to be perfect. I don't have to have it all together. I don't need to try to have all the answers. And I don't need to learn everything in a day. When I make a mistake, it's not because I'm a failure or worthless. I just didn't do something right because I still haven't improved enough in some part of the process. And that mot.. | John C. Maxwell | ||
| dd47327 | Let's live suddenly without thinking. Let's live like the light that kills. And let's as silence, because Whirl's after all: (after me) love, and after you. I occasionally feel vague how vague I don't know tenuous Now - | E.E. Cummings | ||

| b748225 | O sweet spontaneous earth how often have the doting fingers of prurient philosophers pinched and poked thee , has the naughty thumb of science prodded thy beauty . how often have religions taken thee upon their scraggy knees squeezing and buffeting thee that thou mightest conceive gods (but true to the incomparable couch of death thy rhythmic lover thou answerest them only with spring) | E.E.

| fbd53bb | Le regole per scrivere bene (adattate da Umberto Eco) 1. Evita le allitterazioni, anche se allettano gli allocchi. 2. Non e che il congiuntivo va evitato, anzi, che lo si usa quando necessario. 3. Evita le frasi fatte: e minestra riscaldata. 4. Esprimiti siccome ti nutri. 5. Non usare sigle commerciali & abbreviazioni etc. 6. Ricorda (sempre) che la parentesi (anche quando pare indispensabile) interrompe il filo del discorso. 7. Stai attent.. | regole scrittura scrivere | Umberto Eco | |
| 9f9fe8d | This idea comes to me that we're all grass blades on the same lawn. We've grown up together, shoulder to shoulder, under the same sun, drinking the same rain. But you know what happens to grass blades-somebody cuts them down just when they reach their prime. | Tim Tharp | ||
| 10c8dfb | By telling stories, you objectify your own experience. You separate it from yourself. You pin down certain truths. You make up others. You start sometimes with an incident that truly happened, and you carry it forward by inventing incidents that did not in fact occur but that nonetheless help to clarify and explain. | Tim O'Brien |
