| 3c8b0e1 | fist bump* *high five* *bottom pat* ... too far? | Penny Reid | ||
| b4ec527 | Take romance for instance. Fictional women in romance novels never get their period. They never have morning breath. They orgasm seventeen times a day. And they never seem to have jobs with bosses. | Penny Reid | ||
| 60cf75b | When I was younger, I wanted plenty of things, plenty of people, until I realized there was no point in wanting. Since then, I've never had something I wanted, not really. Not 'til you. | Penny Reid | ||
| 7bf4dd7 | I will die happy here, today, in this spot," she sighed. "In your puddle of lust." "Leave my puddle of lust alone. Get your own puddle." | Penny Reid | ||
| 3f6231d | My heart keeps finding new ways to love you. | Penny Reid | ||
| 8d3db7d | Just because you don't feel calm, doesn't mean you can't be calm. | Penny Reid | ||
| 3b372d9 | I'm not letting you leave this car until we make it to second base. At least." "Jess, you know how good I am at baseball, right?" | Penny Reid | ||
| a1b39c0 | Because if it's possible to have a partner who gives all of themselves without reservation, who looks forward to working and sacrificing for me just as I look forward to doing the same for her, who can't help but love ferociously, brutally, and unconditionally--and even perhaps without reason or sound judgment--that's what I want. Because that's how I plan to love in return. | Penny Reid | ||
| 5fb28a0 | There's no reason to be uncomfortable." "I'm not uncomfortable. I'm just feeling weird, and I don't know how to un-weird myself." "Well, don't un-weird yourself on my account. I like you weird." | Penny Reid | ||
| 041cf89 | Love, I decided, is being a sidekick. | Penny Reid | ||
| 781fbac | That's right. You seize that woman, Cletus. You make her yours. And then after," still grinning, Duane dropped his hand on my shoulder and gave me a little shake, "you give that woman your sausage." | Penny Reid | ||
| 92d9cc4 | The thing is, if you can't tell how a person feels about you, then you probably don't want to know. | Penny Reid | ||
| fcd1b58 | Ideas have a short shelf life. You must act on them before the expiration date. | John C. Maxwell | ||
| b948a67 | Comparing yourself to others is really just a needless distraction. The only one you should compare yourself to is you. Your mission is to become better today than you were yesterday. You do that by focusing on what you can do today to improve and grow. | John C. Maxwell | ||
| ddb9387 | Great people talk about ideas, average people talk about themselves, and small people talk about others | great-people small-people talking-too-much | John C. Maxwell | |
| 95422d9 | my blood approves, and kisses are a far better fate than wisdom | E.E. Cummings | ||
| 9182b01 | We're often intimidated in battle because we are uncertain of our faith. We must remember we don't stand in victory because of our faith. We stand in victory because of our God. Faith in faith is pointless. Faith in a living, active God moves mountains. | Beth Moore | ||
| 78c2f67 | if God teaches us victory in Christ Jesus day by day, we live in the constant awareness of His greatness and His sufficiency. Hard lessons are often long-lasting lessons. Never forget that God is far more interested in our getting to know the Deliverer than simply being delivered. | prayer strongholds victory | Beth Moore | |
| 777744c | Underestimating one's enemy was a classic tactical mistake --- one that was usually born out of stupidity or arrogance or both. (Harry Smith) | Vince Flynn | ||
| 6fb2544 | It hurt. It hurt like hell. But it didn't matter, if no one knew. | Nella Larsen | ||
| 4006907 | Thus Milton refines the question down to a matter of faith," said Coleridge, bringing the lecture to a close, "and a kind of faith more independent, autonomous - more truly strong, as a matter of fact - than the Puritans really sought. Faith, he tells us, is not an exotic bloom to be laboriously maintained by the exclusion of most aspects of the day to day world, nor a useful delusion to be supported by sophistries and half-truths like a ch.. | clarification faith father-christmas god john-milton mosaic pattern-recognition puritans religion samuel-taylor-coleridge | Tim Powers | |
| 2985218 | As if I feared that the scope of what I could feel and imagine was being quietly limited by the world within a world, the internet. The things outside of the web were becoming further from me, and everything inside it seemed piercingly relevant. The blogs of strangers had to be read daily, and people nearby who had no web presence were becoming almost cartoonlike, as if they were missing a dimension. It was just happening, like time, like .. | internet life need | Miranda July | |
| e85b740 | Did you ever really love her? Not really no. But me? Yes. Even though I have no pizzazz? | Miranda July | ||
| e3ef5a9 | Eloise," Penelope said, somewhat breathless from trying to shake off Hyacinth. "Penelope." But Eloise's voice sounded curious. Which did not surprise Penelope; Eloise was no fool, and she was well aware that her brother's normal modes of behavior did not include beatific smiles in her direction. "Eloise," Hyacinth said, for no reason Penelope could deduce. "Hyacinth." Penelope turned to her husband. "Colin." He looked amused. "Penelope. Hya.. | Julia Quinn | ||
| b28c11a | Are you serious about leaving?" I touched my aching face. "Yes.But I don't know how." "I'd go with you," Colin said quietly. "Really?" "You know I would." "If you could do anything, what would you do? Would you go back to Ireland?" "Maybe," he said. "I've no family left there but I miss the green hills. I'd love to show them to you, show you Tara and the Cliffs of Moher.We could live in a thatched cottage and keep sheep." I grinned at him. .. | Alyxandra Harvey | ||
| 383f9b5 | You were at the party on Friday night, weren't you?" I didn't mentioned I'd followed him into the woods. He leaned back in his chair, his legs sprawled out. His boots nudged the bottom ruffle of my skirt. "Aye." Aye? Seriously? Could he be any hotter? Unless he had been looking for his girlfriend at the party. Not hot. "I was supposed to meet my cousin," he elaborated, "but I didn't find her," Hot again." | jo lol rock-guy stolen-away | Alyxandra Harvey | |
| 540ff7b | No, no, don't touch your mother just before the baby is born. Now it will be a girl child, because you are one. Run along now. Take your evil eye with you." "Ghias, we must be careful not to teach the girls too much. How will they ever find husbands if they are too learned? The less they know, the less they will want of the outside world." -- | Indu Sundaresan | ||
| 098a980 | Believe this difficult truth. Showing respect in the face of disrespect, love in the face of hate, trust in the face of betrayal, and serenity in the face of turmoil, will teach your children more than all the moral lectures by all the preachers since the dawn of time. | William Martin | ||
| faddddd | Most striking about the traditional societies of the Congo was their remarkable artwork: baskets, mats, pottery, copper and ironwork, and, above all, woodcarving. It would be two decades before Europeans really noticed this art. Its discovery then had a strong influence on Braque, Matisse, and Picasso -- who subsequently kept African art objects in his studio until his death. Cubism was new only for Europeans, for it was partly inspired by .. | art congo europe | Adam Hochschild | |
| 784da8d | all his longings came out as a kind of disdain for what he longed for. | Alan Hollinghurst | ||
| fdfcb8c | Never talk yourself out of knowing you're in love or into thinking that you are. | Julia Glass | ||
| b883bd4 | When things seem calmest, that is the time you should fear the most, it's when you have the most to lose. | myrnin | Rachel Caine | |
| 9616bd6 | Is it arrogance if one is truly superior? | Rachel Caine | ||
| e69fb66 | Jess had never imagined that someone would be so empty that they'd need to destroy something that precious to feel full. | Rachel Caine | ||
| 1bf39d3 | I paused in the act of opening the door and looked at him with what were probably cartoon-wide eyes. "Wait a second," I said. "So, you're best friends with a hot vampire chick who likes leather." "Yeah." "And together, you fight crime?" I couldn't help it. I cracked up." | humor shane-collins | Rachel Caine | |
| 7b8cbd1 | Myrnin: "I think your ghost girl's afraid I'll try to bite her. I believe she may have, you know, ..." | Rachel Caine | ||
| 31fba48 | Pics or it didn't happen." "Dude, little busy for pics. You know, throwing flame." | black-dawn flame-throwers michael-glass shane-collins | Rachel Caine | |
| 35eabed | No matter what any of you have done, you haven't all done it. Because it's not right to judge a class of people by the actions of one, or a few. That's not justice. It's prejudice, and I don't like it. Justice means judging each person individually." Jesse's lips slowly curled into a smile, and her eyes warmed as well. "High-minded," she said. "I'm not sure you'll find a lot of people living up to your standard." Claire shrugged. "Doesn't m.. | Rachel Caine | ||
| 82d7e27 | Geek cred points for trying to stump me, but sorry, you'll have to do better than that. Would you like to try anime for a hundred?" When she looked blank, he sighed. "What took it down, anime, or the Jeopardy reference?" | claire-danvers jeopardy reference | Rachel Caine | |
| 799f2db | Meaning,you do nothing, Claire. That's an order.'" She gave him a cocked mock salute. "Yes, sir, sorry, sir.'" He sighed. "I liked you better when you were this timid little kid. What happened?'" "I started living with you guys.'" "Oh, right." | Rachel Caine | ||
| 7487102 | Shane's dad said, "I should have left you in the damn cage to fry, you ungrateful little bastard. You're no son of mine." "Hallelujah," Shane said softly. Free at last." | the-dead-girls-dance | Rachel Caine | |
| 727bc83 | Myrnin: "I shall name him Bob, Bob the spider" Claire: "You're insane." Myrnin: "Why Claire, I thought that was part of my charm." (something like that)" | Rachel Caine | ||
| e959214 | Great," Shane said. "Look i'd rather not be on janitorial duty. I have allergies to cleaners." | funny morganville-vampires | Rachel Caine Black Dawn | |
| 8d9c296 | Nice " Shane said. "I'm warming up to this bloodsucking thing Mikey." "No you're not." "Okay no I'm not but right now let's pretend I am." | Rachel Caine |
