| 404e055 | I'll see she gets them," Brodick said. Judith shook her head. "I want to meet her," she explained. She stood up and walked over to the table. "I have messages to give her from her mother." "I'll be happy to show you the way," Alex volunteered. "I'll do it," Gowrie announced in a much firmer voice. Brodick shook his head. "Isabelle is my sister-in-law," he snapped. "I'll show Judith the way." Iain had opened the door, and stood there listeni.. | lovesickness | Julie Garwood | |
| 674bca1 | An english baron wed to my daughter? I'll die first, I will." Johanna quit rubbing Claire's shoulder and stepped forward. "A very rich baron," she blurted out. The laird frowned at Johanna with what she thought was indignation. "Wealth is not an issue here," he muttered. "How rich?" They were married an hour later." | Julie Garwood | ||
| d18df2a | You wish me to tell you all of my secrets? I am grateful, but I am not in love. | Robert Jordan | ||
| 64e29f6 | We are alike in many ways, you and I. There is darkness in us. Darkness, pain, death. They radiate from us. If ever you love a woman, Rand, leave her and let her find another. It will be the best gift you can give her. | feels rand-al-thor | Robert Jordan | |
| 372ddf1 | No. Please do not name either child after me, Elayne. Let them live their own lives. My shadow will be long enough as it is.' -Rand | Robert Jordan | ||
| 7a62a53 | Kill a man who needs killing, and sometimes others pay for it. The question is, was it worth doing it anyway? There's always a balance, you know. Good and evil. Light and Shadow. We would not be human if there wasn't a balance. | Robert Jordan | ||
| b25c69c | You are as eloquent as ever, Mat," Egwene said dryly. "Do you still have your pet fox?" "I do," Mat said. "He's snuggled up nice and warm." | Robert Jordan | ||
| bc20143 | I surrender to it, and by surrendering, I control it. | Robert Jordan | ||
| 6d5bc86 | Why didn't you guess this would happen?" Elayne demanded. He looked at her, expressionless. One side of his mouth twitched up, then he pulled his hat down, shading his eyepatch. "Light," Elayne said. "You knew. You spent this whole week planning with us, and you knew the entire time you'd throw it out with the dishwater." | Robert Jordan | ||
| 2bcd2e0 | How did you ever come to like a common blacksmith?" "The word is 'love', Perrin Aybara." | perrin | Robert Jordan | |
| 5968a29 | To stand against the Shadow so long as iron is hard and stone abides. To defend the Malkieri while one drop of blood remains. To avenge what cannot be defended. | Robert Jordan | ||
| 4ec0d55 | You ride to battle?" Karede asked. "I was thinking more of a saunter," Mat said. He shook his head. "I need a feel for what Demandred is doing...I'm going out there, Karede, and putting you fellows between me and the Trollocs sounds delightful. Are you coming?" | Robert Jordan | ||
| 0de6ab7 | The Light shine on you, and the Creator shelter you. The last embrace of the mother welcome you home. | Robert Jordan | ||
| 88a1cf8 | Strange clothes you wear, Child of the Dragon. Has the Wheel turned so far? Do the People of the Dragon return to the first Covenant? But you wear a sword. That is neither now nor then. | Robert Jordan | ||
| efe4bfc | Nobody walks a difficult path without stumbling now and again. It didn't break you when you fell. That's the important part. | Robert Jordan | ||
| 10852c8 | He felt something on his neck. Warmth. He hesitated, then turned weary eyes toward the sky. Sunlight bathed his face. He gaped; it seemed so long since he'd seen pure sunlight. It shone down through a large break in the clouds, comforting, like the warmth of an oven baking a loaf of Adrinne's thick sourdough bread. Almen stood, raising a hand to shade his eyes. He took a deep, long breath, and smelled... apple blossoms? He spun with a start.. | Robert Jordan | ||
| 42b3402 | I wonder if he has any plans or if he is just as desperate as I am? | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| 110af0c | He says no in order that He may, in some way we cannot imagine, say yes. All His ways with us are merciful. His meaning is always love. | christianity | Elisabeth Elliot | |
| a5c4546 | make away out of no way | Barack Obama | ||
| 44d0424 | There's nobody to guide through the process of becoming a man... to explain to them the meaning of manhood. And that's a recipe for disaster. | Barack Obama | ||
| 2fd4842 | I thought I could start over, you see. But now I know you can never start over. Not really. You think you have control, but you are like a fly in somebody else's web. Sometimes I think that's why I like accounting. All day, you are only dealing with numbers. You add them, multiply them, and if you are careful, you will always have a solution. There's a sequence there. An order. With numbers, you can have control.... | Barack Obama | ||
| a6f92b3 | Winter came and the city [Chicago] turned monochrome -- black trees against gray sky above white earth. Night now fell in midafternoon, especially when the snowstorms rolled in, boundless prairie storms that set the sky close to the ground, the city lights reflected against the clouds | Barack Obama | ||
| 463a9c7 | So many of my friends judged potential mates from the outside in, focusing first on their looks and financial prospects. If it turned out the person they'd chosen wasn't a good communicator or was uncomfortable with being vulnerable, they seemed to think time or marriage vows would fix the problem. But Barack arrived in my life a wholly formed person. From our very first conversation, he'd shown me that he wasn't self-conscious about expres.. | Michelle Obama | ||
| 1aa66f1 | I, too, lived--which I had not done before, and which I could still do. I lived into the depths, and the depths began to speak. The depths taught me the other truth. It thus united sense and nonsense in me. I had to recognize that I am only the expression and symbol of the soul. In the sense of the spirit of the depths, I am as I am in this visible world a symbol of my soul, and I am thoroughly a serf, completely subjugated, utterly obedien.. | C.G. Jung | ||
| 8e1021b | Man becomes whole, integrated, calm, fertile, and happy when (and only when) the process of individuation is complete, when the conscious and the unconscious have learned to live at peace and to complement one another. | C.G. Jung | ||
| 7682ae8 | The real mystery does not behave mysteriously or secretively; it speaks a secret language, it adumbrates itself by a variety of images which all indicate its true nature. I am not speaking of a secret personally guarded by someone, with a content known to its possessor, but of a mystery, a matter or circumstance which is "secret," i.e., known only through vague hints but essentially unknown. The real nature of matter was unknown to the alch.. | C.G. Jung | ||
| a056d92 | Were it not for the leaping and twinkling of the soul, man would rot away in his greatest passion, idleness. | archetypes c-g-jung carl-gustav-jung carl-jung collected-works idleness | C.G. Jung | |
| 637ec48 | Christians often ask why God does not speak to them, as he is believed to have done in former days. When I hear such questions, it always makes me think of the rabbi who was asked how it could be that God often showed himself to people in the olden days while nowadays nobody ever sees him. The rabbi replied: "Nowadays there is now longer anybody who can bow low enough." This answer hits the nail on the head. We are so captivated by and enta.. | C.G. Jung | ||
| 5a72d90 | I must learn to love you. | C.G. Jung | ||
| 04160d9 | Happiness and contentment, equability of mind and meaningfulness of life - these can be experienced only by the individual and not by a State, which, on the one hand, is nothing but a convention agreed to by independent individuals, and on the other, continually threatens to paralyse and suppress the individual. | C.G. Jung | ||
| b44653c | At first we cannot see beyond the path that leads downward to dark and hateful things but no light or beauty will ever come from the man who cannot bear this sight. Light is always born of darkness, and the sun never yet stood still in heaven to satisfy man's longing or to still his fears. | C.G. Jung | ||
| 4474448 | people who believe in miracles do not make much fuss when they actually encounter one | Alice Munro | ||
| 3f16a07 | Her attitude towards sex is very comforting to those of her friends who get into terrible states of passion and jealousy, and feel cut loose from their moorings. She seems to regard sex as a wholesome, slightly silly indulgence, like dancing and nice dinners--something that shouldn't interfere with people's being kind and cheerful to each other. | Alice Munro | ||
| 393f516 | Love dies all the time, or at any rate it becomes distracted, overlaid--it might as well be dead. | Alice Munro | ||
| 6795d72 | I've developed contours for his elbows and knees and bum, and nobody else quite fits into me in quite the same way | Nick Hornby | ||
| a7416d0 | You're a cruel, cold-gutted, heartless bastard but you've got majesty, no doubt about that. | James Clavell | ||
| e47f076 | Perhaps that is why we love life so much, Anjin-san. You see, we have to. Death is part of our air and sea and earth. You should know, Anjin-san, in this Land of Tears, death is our heritage. | James Clavell | ||
| a12978d | a book is just like life and anything can change | Dr. Seuss | ||
| 20e70d0 | Say! In the dark? Here in the dark! Would you, could you, in the dark? | Dr. Seuss | ||
| 0624918 | What you don't catch a glimpse of on your wedding day- because how could you?- is that some days you will hate your spouse, that you will look at him and regret ever exhchanging a word with him, let alone a ring and bodily fluids. | Nick Hornby | ||
| a1f9214 | She was trying to say something else; she was trying to say that the inability to articulate what one feels in any satisfactory way is one of our enduring tragedies. It wouldn't have been much, and it wouldn't have been useful, but it would have been something that reflected the gravity and the sadness inside her. Instead, she had snapped at him for being a loser. It was as if she were trying to find a handhold on the boulder of her feeling.. | Nick Hornby | ||
| 13b6f46 | So this is supposed to be about the how, and when, and why, and what of reading -- about the way that, when reading is going well, one book leads to another and to another, a paper trail of theme and meaning; and how, when it's going badly, when books don't stick or take, when your mood and the mood of the book are fighting like cats, you'd rather do anything but attempt the next paragraph, or reread the last one for the tenth time. | Nick Hornby | ||
| 973e763 | This is the second Simply Red song on this tape. One's unforgivable. Two's a war crime. Can I fast-forward? | Nick Hornby | ||
