| 2e23fa1 | Yes, I have patterns of love addiction. But I'm a woman. Of course I do. | love love-addiction women | Emma Forrest | |
| 2d27870 | They think in terms of a sentimental ballad. And that's what terrifies you about them. It isn't their cruelty, it isn't even their shrewdness - it's their extraordinary naivete. Everything in their whole bloody world is a cliche. Everything is born out of a cliche, rests on a cliche, survives by a cliche. And they believe in the cliches - there's no hope | Jean Rhys | ||
| d3b524d | I am empty of everything. I am empty of everything but the thin, frail ghosts in my room. | ghosts | Jean Rhys | |

| 17f39f7 | If the work comes to the artist and says, 'Here I am, serve me,' then the job of the artist, great or small, is to serve. The amount of the artist's talent is not what it is about. Jean Rhys said to an interviewer in the , 'Listen to me. All of writing is a huge lake. There are great rivers that feed the lake, like Tolstoy and Dostoyevsky. And there are mere trickles, like Jean Rhys. All that matters is feeding the lake. I don't matter. Th.. | Madeleine L'Engle | ||

| 7d2c310 | Not that I lack confidence in the outcome," Ferrin said, "but would you consider entrusting the piece of my neck to somebody who is not about to confront one of the most deadly beings in the world?" | brandon humor mull rebellion seeds | Brandon Mull | |
| 49ac5ff | And you came back to Lyrian?" Galloran said in disbelief. "Believe it or not, I came through the same hippopotamus that brought me here the first time. Jumped into the tank on purpose. I wanted to keep others from wasting their time pursuing the Word. And I couldn't ditch Rachel." Galloran smiled. "Truly, you are possessed by that species of madness that begets heroism." | brandon heroes heroism mull rebellion seeds | Brandon Mull | |
| 171c885 | Do us all a favor and toss your mouth overboard. | Brandon Mull | ||
| 1902023 | Why are all these masks winking?" Jason pointed around the room with his fork. The loremaster dabbed at his mouth with a frilled purple napkin. "One eye is open to all truth, the other closed to all deception." | Brandon Mull | ||

| 9a1277d | We walk through so many myths of each other and ourselves; we are so thankful when someone sees us for who we are and accepts us. | gratitude love perception relationships | Natalie Goldberg | |
| 21ea60f | Happiness is an illusion, Natalie. It doesn't actually exist." "Of course it does," I said. "It's what you feel when you're not sad." "That's unconsciousness. And I'm pretty sure that I'm miserable when I am unconscious, too." | happiness lee miserable monk mr-monk natalie sad unconsciousness | Lee Goldberg | |
| 09d58c3 | It is not enough to do, one must also become. I wish to be wiser, stronger, better. This--" I held out my hands "--this thing that is me is incomplete. It is only the raw material with which I have to work. I want to make it better than I received it." | Louis L'Amour | ||
| 8db47b6 | One thing has always been true: That book or that person who can give me an idea or a new slant on an old idea is my friend. | Louis L'Amour | ||
| 05af55e | In the United States we have concentrated tremendous sums of money on the educational plant, seemingly with the idea that the right number of buildings will turn out the right number of graduates. Yet the teachers who actually instruct the future citizens of our country are more often than not miserably paid. If in the future we find ourselves with a lot of fourth-rate citizens, we have only ourselves to blame. | Louis L'Amour | ||
| f948654 | I have told many, yet when I go down that last trail, I know there will be a thousand stories hammering at my skull, demanding to be told. | Louis L'Amour | ||
| 2d3772c | Without books we should very likely be a still-primitive people living in the shadow of traditions that faded with years until only a blur remained, and different memories would remember the past in different ways. A parent or a teacher has only his lifetime; a good book can teach forever. | education life-lessons literacy literate-culture reading teachers teaching | Louis L'Amour | |

| 409f8e5 | And the places she turns up in Jamaica are all the more curious. I remember being at sound-system dances and hearing everyone from Bob Marley Kenny Rogers (yes, Kenny Rogers) to Sade to Yellowman to Beenie Man being blasted at top volume while the crowd danced and drank up a storm. But once the selector (DJ in American parlance) began to play a Celine Dion song, the crowd went buck wild and some people started firing shots in the air.... I .. | Carl Wilson | ||

| bcbafe4 | You say you cannot love God; but it strikes me that if you rightly consider who and what He is, you cannot help it. He is your father, your best friend: every blessing, everything good, pleasant, or useful, comes from Him; and everything evil, everything you have reason to hate, to shun, or to fear, comes from Satan- HIS enemy as well as ours. And for this cause was God manifest in the flesh, that He might destroy the works of the Devil: in.. | Anne Brontë | ||
| 23594ea | I cannot get him to write or speak in real, solid earnest. I don't much mind it now, but if it be always so, what shall I do with the serious part of myself? | Anne Brontë | ||
| 1d2477e | I was almost annoyed at her for spoiling my perfectly good sulk. | Robin Hobb | ||
| 6be0ae7 | You always chose to be bound by who you are. Now choose to be freed by who you are. | Robin Hobb | ||
| a6a7fd6 | To finally confront the worst there is, to look it squarely in the face and say, "I know you. You have hurt me, almost to death, but still I live. And I will go on living." | Robin Hobb | ||
| 8ff123d | You have been with me, as close as the tips of my fingers, even when we were years and seas apart. Your being was like the hum of a plucked string at the edge of my hearing, or a scent carried on a breeze. Did not you feel it so? | Robin Hobb | ||
| 8cee5ba | Fishing and ear scratching the two reasons men were given hands. | night-eyes wolf | Robin Hobb | |
| ca5e07c | Do you do this because you live such short lives? Tell yourselves wild tales of what might happen tomorrow, and feel all the feelings of events that will never happen? Perhaps to make up for the pasts you cannot recall, you invent futures that will not exist. | Robin Hobb | ||
| 35f1057 | No being gets to decide what his life is 'supposed to be.' " She lifted her eyes and her gaze stabbed him. "Be a man. Discover where you are now, and go on from there, making the best of things. Accept your life, and you might survive it. If you hold back from it, insisting this is not your life, not where you are meant to be, life will pass you by. You may not die from such foolishness, but you might as well be dead for all the good your l.. | Robin Hobb | ||
| d4ba6f5 | If a few students come reluctantly to their studies, then let them go. If all students come reluctantly to their studies, then let your scribe be dismissed and find another. For once students have been taught that learning is tedious, difficult, and useless, they will never learn another lesson. | Robin Hobb | ||

| b2e7d56 | I loved that man as I have loved no one else. I do not say I loved him more than I love your mother. But that the way I loved him was different. But if you have heard there was anything improper in our bond, there was not. That was not what we were to one another. What we had went beyond that. | love | Robin Hobb | |
| d99afc9 | What you are born to be, you will be, whether it be priest or sailor. So step up and be it. Let them do nothing to you. Be the one who shapes yourself. Be who you are, and eventually all will have to recognize who you are, whether they are willing to admit it or not. | Robin Hobb | ||
| c4f5716 | The truth is dark under your eyelids. What are you going to do about it? The birds are silent; there's no one to ask. All day long you'll squint at the gray sky. When the wind blows you'll shiver like straw. A meek little lamb you grew your wool Till they came after you with huge shears. Flies hovered over open mouth, Then they, too, flew off like the leaves, The bare branches reached after them in vain. Winter coming. Like the last heroic.. | Charles Simic | ||
| 130118a | There is no hard and fast line that can be drawn that says: Up to here there was no love; from here on there is now love. Love is a gradual thing, it may take a moment, a month, or a year to come on, and in each two its gradations are different. With some it comes fast, with some it comes slowly. Sometimes one kindles from the other, sometimes both kindle spontaneously. And once in a tragic while one kindles only after the other has already.. | unrequited-love | Cornell Woolrich | |

| 6fd91cc | The only reason you say that race was not an issue is because you wish it was not. We all wish it was not. But it's a lie. I came from a country where race was not an issue; I did not think of myself as black and I only became black when I came to America. When you are black and fall in love with a white person, race doesn't matter when you're alone together because it's just you and your love. But the minute you step outside, race matters... | Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie | ||
| 4a5e901 | Gender and class are different. Poor men still have the privileges of being men, even if they do not have the privileges of being wealthy. | Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie | ||
| e6b726f | La literatura me ha permitido siempre comprender la vida. Pero precisamente por eso me deja fuera de ella. | Enrique Vila-Matas | ||
| 8a35dd9 | You kids were all in college, and I suddenly saw that I was stuck alone with a man who, all those years later, was still wanting me to be someone I wasn't. | Barbara Delinsky | ||
| f59ff26 | A true warrior," she said, "does not fight because he wishes to but because he has to. A man who yearns for war, a man who enjoys his killing, he is a brute and a monster. No matter how much glory he wins on the battlefield, that cannot erase the fact that he is no better than a rabid wolf who will turn on his friends and family as soon as his foes." | war warrior | Christopher Paolini | |
| 684fff1 | Better to see widely than to see too closely and allow some feature of place or situation to catch you unawares. Do you understand? | Christopher Paolini |
