| 960132c | Ah, those were the days...The Dark-Hunters hunted us, we slaughtered them. We made our homes in underground catacombs and crypts where the Hunters couldn't go without getting possessed. It was an interesting time to be Apollite or Daimon. But that was before we discovered civilization and modern conveniences. Before the human world developed enough to where we could exist at night under the pretense of being one of them. Apollites owning bu.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| aeb9e86 | Nick:"Make me immortal." Ash wasn't charmed. "Look, Nick, I don't like talking about my powers and not a lot of people know what I can do. I'm trusting you with a secret and I expect you to keep it. If you can't..." He tilted his head down as if he was looking at him over the rim of his sunglasses. "Well, I'm sure your mom's going to miss you." "Not half as much as I'd miss me if you killed me." He blinked like a girl and leaned against Ash.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 21361f7 | In the "lynching era," between 1880 to 1940, white Christians lynched nearly five thousand black men and women in a manner with obvious echoes of the Roman crucifixion of Jesus. Yet these "Christians" did not see the irony or contradiction in their actions." -- | James H. Cone | ||
| 49abaac | Somebody threw a dead dog after him down the ravine. | Malcolm Lowry | ||
| 56766e9 | He imagined them sitting somewhere, just enjoying each other's company, her head on his chest, his arm around her. And he realized how desperately lonely he had become. | lonley love wish | Tim LaHaye | |
| 379c910 | Letting go of anger and hate requires us to give up the hope for a different past, along with the hope of a fantasized future. What we gain is a life more in the present, where we are not mired in prolonged anger and resentment that doesn't serve us. | Harriet Lerner | ||
| 4070e08 | Everyone freaks out. Sometimes the best we can do with fear is befriend it. Expect it and understand that fear will always reappear. Eventually it subsides. It will return. The real culprits are our knee jerk responses to fear and the way we try to avoid feeling fear, anxiety and shame. Don't get me wrong, wanting to feel better fast is a perfectly natural human impulse. It is healthy to seek relief when you feel hopelessly mired in the emo.. | Harriet Lerner | ||
| a24d225 | But therein lies the paradox: Speaking out and being "real" are not necessarily virtues. Sometimes voicing our thoughts and feelings shuts down the lines of communication, diminishes or shames another person, or makes it less likely that two people can hear each other or even stay in the same room. Nor is talking always a solution. We know from personal experience that our best intentions to process a difficult issue can move a situation fr.. | Harriet Lerner | ||
| 112a52c | it is no wonder that it is hard for us to know, let alone admit, that we are angry. Why are angry women so threatening to others? If we are guilty, depressed, or self-doubting, we stay in place. We do not take action except against our own selves and we are unlikely to be agents of personal and social change. In contrast, angry women may change and challenge the lives of us all, as witnessed by the past decade of feminism. And change is an .. | Harriet Lerner | ||

| 7dc852f | We can never know," Simon answered slowly. "God hides the future from man's eyes. We are forced to choose, not knowing. I have chosen Jesus." | Elizabeth George Speare | ||
| 96c2370 | The feel of her body against his was exhilarating, driving all rational thought from his head. "All right, prepare yourself, Claire Brennan." She looked up at him curiously. "Prepare myself for what?" He gazed at her affectionately. "Repeat your mantra, or whatever it is you do. Because I'm about to kiss you." -- | Syrie James | ||
| e3fe83a | Oak had nothing finished and ready to say as yet, and not being able to frame love phrases which end where they begin; passionate tales----Full of sound and fury --signifying nothing--he said no word at all. | Thomas Hardy | ||

| 65de822 | Love is a possible strength in an actual weakness. Marriage transforms a distraction into a support, the power of which should be, and happily often is, in direct proportion to the degree of imbecility it supplants. | marriage | Thomas Hardy | |

| 1ab0167 | I had a neat stock of fixed opinions, but they dropped away one by one; and the further I get the less sure I am. I doubt if I have anything more for my present rule of life than following inclinations which do me and nobody else any harm, and actually give pleasure to those I love best. There, gentlemen, since you wanted to know how I was getting on, I have told you. Much good may it do you! I cannot explain further here. I perceive there .. | life plans youth | Thomas Hardy | |

| cc69e1c | He was calmly eating his soup, laughing with pleasant good-humour, as if he had come all the way to Calais for the express purpose of enjoying supper at this filthy inn, in the company of his arch-enemy. | Emmuska Orczy | ||
| 16b01f3 | I sing your restless longing for the statue, your fear of the feelings that await you in the street. I sing the small sea siren who sings to you, riding her bicycle of corals and conches. But above all I sing a common thought that joins us in the dark and golden hours. | Federico García Lorca | ||

| 029799a | It isn't. when you come to think of it a quite respectable trade, the detection of the innocent, for aren't lovers nearly always innocent? They have committed no crime, they are certain in their own minds that they have done no wrong, 'as long as no one but myself is hurt', the old tag is ready on their lips, and love, of course, excuses everything -- so they believe and so I used to believe in the days when I loved. | Graham Greene | ||
| e042137 | He knew now that at the end there was only one thing that counted - to be a saint. | Graham Greene | ||
| ae4d949 | God loves you, they say in the churches, God is everything. People who believe that don't need admiration, they don't need to sleep with a man, they feel safe. But I can't invent a belief. | Graham Greene | ||
| c4fcb34 | There are dreams which belong only partly in the unconscious; these are the dreams we remember on waking so vividly that we deliberately continue them, and so fall asleep again and wake and sleep and the dream goes on without interruption, with a thread of logic the pure dream doesn't possess. | Graham Greene | ||
| 256c2e3 | Like young men from the dawn of time, I decided to choose the risk of death over certain humiliation. | Ben Aaronovitch | ||
| 9a0f981 | What chimps don't seem capable of understanding is the state of false belief. They don't have a theory of mind that accounts for actions driven by beliefs in conflict with reality. And really, who lacking that will ever be able to navigate the human world? | Karen Joy Fowler | ||
| 025e0f3 | But a story never told is also a danger, particularly to the people in it. | Karen Joy Fowler | ||
| ec0a899 | Toby had received, though not yet digested, one of the earliest lessons of adult life: that one is never secure. At any moment one can be removed from a state of guileless serenity and plunged into its opposite, without any intermediate condition, so high about us do the waters rise of our own and other people's imperfection. | Iris Murdoch | ||
| e7b7585 | Learning is a deep human need, like mating and eating, and like all such needs it is meant to be deeply pleasurable to human beings. | James Paul Gee | ||
| 0db3f0c | As incisively pointed out in the documentary 'Food Inc.', an overwhelmingly large percentage of 'new,' 'healthy,' and 'organic' alternative food products are actually owned by the same parent companies that scared us into the organic aisle in the first place. "They got you comin' and goin'" has never been truer." | Anthony Bourdain | ||
| 438ce13 | It's very rarely a good career move to have a conscience. | Anthony Bourdain | ||
| 9705464 | The medievals loved to say that God wrote two books: nature and Scripture. And since he is the author of both books, and since this Teacher never contradicts himself, these two books never contradict each other. And since this God who never contradicts himself also gave us the two truth detectors, faith and reason, it follows that faith and reason, properly used, never contradict each other. Therefore, all heresies are contrary to reason. N.. | Peter Kreeft | ||
| 8dd27c8 | Argumentation is a human enterprise that is embedded in a larger social and psychological context. This context includes (1) the total psyches of the two persons engaged in dialogue, (2) the relationship between the two persons, (3) the immediate situation in which they find themselves and (4) the larger social, cultural and historical situation surrounding them. | culture dialogue psychology relationships sociology | Peter Kreeft | |
