| 770f916 | Her words sounded pretty, but I knew her better. She'd blinked three times in a row. | Katie McGarry | ||
| a021f01 | She launched herself at me. I closed my eyes the moment her arms slipped around my neck. I slid my hands to familiar places and reveled in her delicious smell. For three weeks I'd felt like a puzzle with missing pieces. Her body fit perfectly into mine, making me feel whole again. "I've missed you." I swore Echo clutched me tighter before stepping back. "I'm sorry. That was totally inappropriate." Begrudgingly I let go, chuckling. "I'm a.. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 4786c06 | My father was missing some very important meeting, and my stepmother from Oz? I'm sure she was missing her brain. | Katie McGarry | ||
| dd9695a | I take comfort in the stone inside of me. If I don't feel, I don't hurt. | Katie McGarry | ||
| bb455a9 | The darkness isn't so frightening with Ryan. With him I can believe that I am a princess with a wreath of flowers and ribbons crowning my head and he is my prince sworn to protect me from the evils in the night. | fantasy love | Katie McGarry | |
| 4be103b | He shoved his hands in his pockets. His hair fell into his eyes, blocking my new favorite view. | Katie McGarry | ||
| a977199 | Take pride away from a man and you might as well run a knife through his heart. | pride | Julie Garwood | |
| 5a065d2 | Everything is your fault. You made me fall in love with you, and now I'm so upset I can't think or sleep or eat. | Julie Garwood | ||
| 02fff1b | Madelyne, I would like to speak to you in private after dinner." "Speak to me about what?" Madelyne demanded with a disgruntled look. "Men and their horses," Duncan told her" | Julie Garwood | ||
| 9f3df38 | courting is for those who have not declared their love for one another- should not be considered a task. | Julie Garwood | ||
| fff0a9b | You're welcome in my house when this is over. We'll open a cask of Master al'Vere's best brandy. We'll remember those who fell, and we'll tell our children how we stood when the clouds turned black and the world started to die. We'll tell them we stood shoulder to shoulder, and there was just no space for the Shadow to squeeze through. | hope victory | Robert Jordan | |
| 9b21d95 | Maybe there would be a Tinker city someday, too. They would buy up all of the colored dye, and everyone else in the world would ave to wear brown.' -Mat | Robert Jordan | ||
| d8e8d16 | Tuon's eyes snapped open, and despite the dim light, she focused directly on Mat. She saw the knife in his hand, ready to throw. Then she looked over her shoulder. | Robert Jordan | ||
| b6da62f | He did not think anyone needed to look after Nynaeve; around Nynaeve, to his mind, other people needed someone to look after them. | Robert Jordan | ||
| f5fe4d5 | Zelda was very beautiful and was tanned a lovely gold colour and her hair was a beautiful dark gold and she was very friendly. Her hawk's eyes were clear and calm. I knew everything was all right and was going to turn out well in the end when she leaned forward and said to me, telling me her great secret, 'Ernest, don't you think Al Jolson is greater than Jesus?' Nobody thought anything of it at the time. It was only Zelda's secret that she.. | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| 5b45961 | Fuck literature. | literature | Ernest Hemingway | |
| b0f529c | God withholds blessing only in wisdom, never in spite or aloofness. | Elisabeth Elliot | ||
| d594c9a | Whoever is ashamed of marriage is also ashamed of being thought a man, or else he thinks that he can make himself better than God made him. | Elisabeth Elliot | ||
| 4b4fb75 | It was as if he had come to mistrust words somehow. Words, and the sentiments words carried. | Barack Obama | ||
| 33f66e6 | And that, I suppose, is what I'd been trying to tell my mother that day: that her faith in justice and rationality was misplaced, that we couldn't overcome after all, that all the education and good intentions in the world couldn't help you plug up the holes in the universe or give you the power to change its blind, mindless course. | Barack Obama | ||
| 4dd2c80 | There are a whole lot of religious people in America, including the majority of Democrats. When we abandon the field of religious discourse--when we ignore the debate about what it means to be a good Christian or Muslim or Jew; when we discuss religion only in the negative sense of where or how it should not be practiced, rather than in the positive sense of what it tells us about our obligations toward one another; when we shy away from re.. | Barack Obama | ||
| 6a7204a | You do not overcome the old teaching through doing less, but through doing more. Every step closer to my soul excites the scornful laughter of my devils, those cowardly ear-whisperers and poison-mixers. It was easy for them to laugh, since I had to do strange things. | C.G. Jung | ||
| d6bca0d | Man as we realize if we reflect for a moment, never perceives anything fully or comprehends anything completely. He can see, hear, touch, and taste; but how far he sees, how well he hears, what his touch tells him, and what he tastes depend upon the number and quality of his senses. These limit his perception of the world around him. By using scientific instruments he can partly compensate for the deficiencies of his senses. For example, he.. | C.G. Jung | ||
| 03b92e8 | Because we cannot discover God's throne in the sky with a radiotelescope or establish (for certain) that a beloved father or mother is still about in a more or less corporeal form, people assume that such ideas are "not true." I would rather say that they are not "true" enough, for these are conceptions of a kind that have accompanied human life from prehistoric times, and that still break through into consciousness at any provocation. Mode.. | C.G. Jung | ||
| a56b9ef | The spirit of the depths even taught me to consider my action and my decision as dependent on dreams. Dreams pave the way for life, and they determine you without you understanding their language. One would like to learn this language, but who can teach and learn it? Scholarliness alone is not enough; there is a knowledge of the heart that gives deeper insight. The knowledge of the heart is in no book and is not to be found in the mouth of .. | C.G. Jung | ||
| f0096e9 | Ultimately everything depends on the quality of the individual, but our fatally short-sighted age thinks only in terms of large numbers and mass organizations... | C.G. Jung | ||
| c5359a4 | As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light in the darkness of mere being. It may even be assumed that just as the unconscious affects us, so the increase in our consciousness affects the unconscious. | C.G. Jung | ||
| a39dbc2 | If it be true that there can be no metaphysics transcending human reason, it is no less true that there can be no empirical knowledge that is not already caught and limited by the a priori structure of cognition. | archetypes cognition metaphysics reason | C.G. Jung | |
| 242784d | Simplicity isn't just a visual style. It's not just minimalism or the absence of clutter. It involves digging through the depth of the complexity. To be truly simple, you have to go really deep. | Walter Isaacson | ||
| 7171256 | I just believed it easily, the way you might believe and in fact remember that you once had another set of teeth, now vanished but real in spite of that. Until one day, one day when I may even have been in my teens, I knew with a dim sort of hole in my insides that now I didn't believe it anymore. | Alice Munro | ||
| 7772bf3 | Why is she afraid?" he asked. "She's not Anjin-san. Just a little nervous. Please excuse her. She's never seen a foreigner close to before." "Tell her when the moon's full, barbarians sprout horns and fire comes out of our mouths like dragons." | humor | James Clavell | |
| daf02b8 | Oare ce-s nourii Daca nu o justificare a cerului? Oare ce-i viata Daca nu o amanare a mortii? | kasigi-yabu shogun | James Clavell | |
| bc1c8a3 | remember that Life's a Great Balancing Act. | Dr. Seuss | ||
| 8a5d2f8 | Of all the costs imposed on our society by the top 1 percent, perhaps the greatest is this: the erosion of our sense of identity in which fair play, equality of opportunity, and a sense of community are so important. | Joseph E. Stiglitz | ||
| d97a2dc | When you are a high school girl, there is nothing more miraculous than a high school boy. | Curtis Sittenfeld | ||
| 287218d | Ordinarily, of course, I thought it best to remain inconspicuous, but the gesture had a certain irresistable theatricaility, and an inevitablility. Sometimes you can feel the pull of what other people want from you, and you sacrifice yourself, you risk seeming odd or sunsavory, to keep them entertained. | Curtis Sittenfeld | ||
| 7b0bdab | Dogs are wonderful, and in many ways unique. But they are remarkably unremarkable in their intellectual and experiential capacities. Pigs are every bit as intelligent and feeling, by any sensible definition of the words. They can't hop into the back of a Volvo, but they can fetch, run and play, be mischievous, and reciprocate affection. So why don't they get to curl up by the fire? Why can't they at least be spared being tossed on the fire? | Jonathan Safran Foer | ||
| e7eafbd | I started carrying blank books like this one around, which I would fill with all the things I couldn't say... | Jonathan Safran Foer | ||
| 9cbfedb | What were we spending so much time doing if not getting to know each other? | Jonathan Safran Foer | ||
| 2e14b28 | Mom said, "His spirit is there," and that made me really angry. I told her, "Dad didn't have a spirit! He had cells!" "His memory is there." "His memory is here," I said, pointing at my head. "Dad had a spirit," she said, like she was rewinding a bit in our conversation. I told her, "He had cells, and now they're on rooftops, and in the river, and in the lungs of millions of people around New York, who breathe him every time they speak!" | Jonathan Safran Foer | ||
| 2197574 | He looked so much like me, I could tell that he saw it, too, we shared the smile of recognizing ourselves in each other, how many imposters do I have? DO we all make the same mistakes, or has one of us gotten it right, or even just a bit less wrong, am I the imposter? | look-alike mistakes | Jonathan Safran Foer | |
| 42483bc | Can't you even tell me if I'm on the right track?" Buckminster purred, and Dad shrugged his shoulders again. "But if you don't tell me anything, how can I ever be right?" He circled something in an article and said, "Another way of looking at it would be, how could you ever be wrong?" | Jonathan Safran Foer | ||
| 58a9b84 | The end of suffering does not justify the suffering, what a mess I am, I thought, what a fool, how foolish and narrow, how worthless, how pinched and pathetic, how helpless. | Jonathan Safran Foer | ||
| 402bff8 | I could tell that Mom was dreaming, but I didn't want to know what she was dreaming about, because I had enough of my own nightmares, and if she had been dreaming something happy, I would have been angry at her for dreaming something happy. | Jonathan Safran Foer |
