| 87dc967 | One warm night four children stood in front of a bakery. No one knew them. No one knew where they had come from. | Gertrude Chandler Warner | ||
| e7f42c1 | I was so happy that I wanted to be kind to everyone in the world. | Dodie Smith | ||
| 1e1cf74 | What I'd really hate would be the settled feeling, with nothing but happiness to look forward to. Of course no life is perfectly happy- Rose's children will probably get ill, the servants may be difficult, perhaps dear Mrs. Cotton will prove to be the teeniest fly in the ointment. (I should like to know what fly was originally in what ointment.) There are hundreds of worries and even sorrows that may come along, but- I think what I really m.. | Dodie Smith | ||
| f9ac939 | It isn't a bit of use my pretending I'm not crying, because I am... Pause to mop up. Better now. Perhaps it would really be rather dull to be married and settled for life. Liar! It would be heaven. | heaven marriage | Dodie Smith | |
| abbaee5 | All I really want to write about is what happened just before he left. But if I let myself start with that I might forget some of the things which came first. And every word he said is of deepest value to me. | euphoria excitement | Dodie Smith | |
| fbcdc0e | perhaps it is loving that counts, not the being loved in return- that perhaps true loving can never know anything but happiness. | Dodie Smith | ||
| 9853831 | We seldom notice how each day is a holy place Where the eucharist of the ordinary happens, Transforming our broken fragments Into an eternal continuity that keeps us. | John O'Donohue | ||
| 20092b2 | The earth is our origin and destination. The ancient rhythms of the earth have insinuated themselves into the rhythms of the human heart. The earth is not outside us; it is within: the clay from where the tree of the body grows. When we emerge from our offices, rooms and houses, we enter our natural element. We are children of the earth: people to whom the outdoors is home. Nothing can separate us from the vigour and vibrancy of this inheri.. | nature | John O'Donohue | |
| 1d080f3 | I arise today through the strength of heaven, light of sun, Radiance of moon, Splendor of fire, Speed of lightning, Swiftness of wind, Depth of sea, Stability of earth, Firmness of rock. | John O'Donohue | ||
| 6eafdaf | So, Noah, Echo's the coat girl." I had a nickname? Noah chuckled. "Yeah." "Echo, is your father aware of this relationship?" "Would you believe me if I told you I didn't know about it?" Her eyes laughed. "Yes." -- | Katie McGarry | ||
| b2393e2 | I understood her hrythm. That feeling of everything inside twisting to the point that if you didn't find a release you'd explode. I craved to grant her peace. I placed my hand over hers. My own heart rested when i rubbed my thumb over her smooth skin. She dropped the pen and grasped hes sleeve in her palm, her constant defense mechanism. No. If she grasped anything, it would me. My thumb worked its way between her fingers and her sleeve an.. | Katie McGarry | ||

| da916e4 | You deserve better. | Katie McGarry | ||
| da429b5 | If you want out of the box you hide in, then you need to crack open the flaps and bask in some sunlight. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 9136229 | I'm wrong. My house isn't a volcano-I am, and the past two years have created a dormant giant who no longer will tolerate being ignored. I'm tired of this. Tired of how everyone's become so obsessed with themselves, obsessed with the moment, that we've ceased caring what's going to happen next. | Katie McGarry | ||
| a06f775 | Her kiss is soft and warm-inviting. We both explore, a hesitant dance as we glide over lines neither of us imagined crossing. | Katie McGarry | ||
| e48b16a | I love you." So much that sometimes it hurts. Noah tilts his head down, and his nose skims against mine. "You're my whole world, Echo." | Katie McGarry | ||
| bbc642c | I can't think straight when you 're this close. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 066e3fd | Will you go outside on the 28th and watch the meteor shower? I know what you're thinking: 3:00am? But I think it will be beautiful. Besides, it will be cool to know that you're watching the sky at the same exact time as me. ~Lila | Katie McGarry | ||
| cf8c64e | I would never touch anyone else again without thinking about her. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 82c7ce3 | Sometimes people choose the harder path just to prove they can do it. | Katie McGarry | ||
| bb9a9d7 | You make me feel safe, Noah. Maybe if i felt safe i could sleep." "I'll sneak into your room one night and we 'll give it a shot. Sleep only, i promise." | Katie McGarry | ||
| 0d8a103 | Wow, Mrs. Collins is a freaking miracle worker. Dangerous Noah Hutchins on the straight and narrow. If you don't watch out she'll ruin your rep with the girls." I lowered my voice. "Not that it matters. I only care what one girl thinks about me." | Katie McGarry | ||
| 89dc25a | Noah didn't walk, he stalked and I loved the mischievous glint in his eye when he stalked me. He placed his hands on my hips and nuzzled my hair. "I love the way you smell." I swallowed and tried to reign in the mutant pterodactyls having a roller derby in my stomach as I dared to think about a future for the two of us. The moment Aires' car rumbled beneath me, I'd known that I needed Noah in my life. Aires' death had left a gaping hole in.. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 5f86ec9 | I LOVE YOU. Every part of me ached to say it. I gazed into those beautiful eyes and knew i loved her more than i loved myself. | Katie McGarry | ||
| a9c28ba | Her tactics are brutal. The Marines could employ her. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 84afe46 | Living is like being chained at the bottom of a shallow pond with my eyes open and no air. I can see distorted images of happiness and light, even hear muffled laughter, but everything is out of my reach as I lie in suffocating agony. If death is the opposite of living, then I hope death is like floating. | depression life sadness | Katie McGarry | |
| 3c4e309 | I won't tell anyone, Echo. I promise." Noah tucked a curl behind my ear. It had been so long since someone touched me like he did. Why did it have to be Noah Hutchins? His dark brown eyes shifted to my covered arms. "You didn't do that-did you? It was done to you?" No one ever asked that question. They stared. They whispered. They laughed. But they never asked." | Katie McGarry | ||
| 43c5e00 | I put my fingers under Emily's chin, tilting her head up. "I love you." Emily's dark eyes widen and if this moment wasn't so dire, I'd laugh at her expression. swipe a finger across her smooth cheek. "I've never said that to anyone and I don't plan on it being the last time, either. I love you, Emily, and I'm telling you we'll work ths out." -- | love-quotes lovers | Katie McGarry | |
| ab3cb1f | I'm used to people talking, saying words aloud to prove they know more than me, that they're better than me. But they're just words. Syllables strung together between breaths to fill uncomfortable silences. Meaningless words. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 5051564 | Has there ever been anything in your life you've learned that you wish you could take back knowing? | Katie McGarry | ||
| 51cddfe | I'm already half-dust, Hayley, and I'm tired of trying to hold together what's left. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 661bd20 | I understand trying to please someone you thinks loves you. To keep that love, you keep twisting and bending yourself to become who they want you to be until you eventually break. There's a hole in them, a hole they need filled, and they want you to become the circle that will fit into them to make them complete, even though you're a square. It's an awful place to be, the person responsible for someone else's happiness, because being human,.. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 4e8578b | Eli's your biological father, but I'm your dad. I'm not asking you to stay here forever. A week. Maybe two. You decide the length, no matter what Eli thinks. I'll miss you every second you're away and we'll talk as often as you want. I want you to discover your biological family, but I'm your dad and you're my little girl. Always. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 6b7226d | Her siren smile lit up my world. "Noah." "Echo. You look ..." I let my eyes wander up and down as I approached the car. "Appetizing." Her laughter tickled my soul. "I think we've had this conversation before." I settled between her legs and cradled her face with my hands. "And I think at the end of that night something like this also happened." Her lips feathered against mine and she giggled. "You ready for a new normal?" she whispered. I k.. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 7e8d3fc | He yanked off his shirt, revealing all of his six-pack glory. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 6a5eaa4 | He grabs the swing by the seat and it grinds to a halt. Oz's fingers brush along the skin of my thigh. My heart stutters. Stupid heart. Stupid short skirt. Stupid deep blue eyes and wild charcoal hair. Stupid, stupid, stupid me for licking my suddenly dry lips. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 179addf | Warriors do not speak of such feelings. I love you too, son, but I won't be telling you so. | Julie Garwood | ||
| 11f5995 | But she would never forget Brodick... or the spontaneous kiss he'd given her that had meant nothing to him and everything to her. | Julie Garwood | ||

| 3672ed7 | Isabelle is like a warrior going into battle and she needs... you said yes? You'd really choose an inexperienced squire?" she asked, her voice incredulous. He laughed. "I would." She smiled. "You're lying to me to make me feel better. It's all right. It's working. Now tell me another lie." | Julie Garwood | ||
| 93bb24d | Brenna jumped to her feet the second Father Sinclair entered the chamber. "I'm so happy to see you," she cried out. "Be happy sitting down," Jamie ordered, hovering over her patient like a mother hen." | Julie Garwood | ||
| c7eb44c | She wished she could understand her reaction to him. Why, her heart was pacing a wild beat again. Madelyne dared a quick look up and found Duncan was watching her intently. He looked so handsome. She wanted him to be ugly. | Julie Garwood | ||
| 3c04b00 | He was as naked as a wolf. Madelyne grabbed the blanket and threw it toward him. "Cover yourself, Duncan. It isn't decent to let me see your legs." | Julie Garwood |
