| 2f255f7 | Conversion and zealotry, just like revelation and apostasy, are flip sides of the same coin, the currency of a political culture having more in common with religion than rational discourse. | politics reason religion christopher-hitchens conversion united-states rationality revelation zealotry | Norman G. Finkelstein | |
| c75fe9e | What do you have to forget or overlook in order to desire that this dysfunctional clan once more occupies the White House and is again in a position to rent the Lincoln Bedroom to campaign donors and to employ the Oval Office as a massage parlor? You have to be able to forget, first, what happened to those who complained, or who told the truth, last time. It's often said, by people trying to show how grown-up and unshocked they are, that al.. | rape lies sex feminism politics gennifer-flowers juanita-broaddrick kathleen-willey lincoln-bedroom monica-lewinsky oval-office perjury sleaze smear-campaign hillary-clinton united-states-elections-2008 bill-clinton white-house united-states corruption | Christopher Hitchens | |
| f5332b3 | Plainly, this unwillingness to give ground even on unimportant disagreements is the symptom of some deepseated insecurity, as was my one-time fondness for making teasing remarks (which I amended when I read Anthony Powell's matter-of-fact observation that teasing is an unfailing sign of misery within) and as is my very pronounced impatience. The struggle, therefore, is to try and cultivate the virtuous side of these shortcomings: to be a ge.. | teasing | Christopher Hitchens | |

| 73e9282 | Atheism is an idea. Most often (thank God), it is an idea lived and told with blunt jumbo-crayon clumsiness. Some child of Christianity or Judaism dons an unbelieving Zorro costume and preens about the living room. Behold, a dangerous thinker of thinks! A believer in free-from-any-and-all-goodness! Fear my brainy blade! Put candy in their bucket. Act scared. Don't tell them that they're adorable. Atheism is not an idea we want fleshed out. .. | N.D. Wilson | ||
| 0a7873e | The problem with open-mindedness is that it can become empty-mindedness | Christopher Hitchens | ||
| 779dfb9 | He knows, as all the cleverest ones do, that no human being is so interesting that he can't make himself more interesting still by acting retarded at random intervals. | Walter Kirn | ||
| 4f8402c | And I want cabana boys named Raoul to rub warm, fragrant oil all over me, from head to toe, all over my throat and chest and my legs and arms. I want--" Theo pushed the chair back on the deck and it made a loud scraping sound. He grabbed Lucy's face and kissed her hard, then rose up and placed her on her feet, taking her hand. "Where are we going, Theo?" "Shh." He stroked her hair as he led her inside. "The name's Raoul." | Susan Donovan | ||
| 8d6bcfa | I think we love who we love and there's not a damn thing that can be done about it. | Susan Donovan | ||
| 678c46f | There are always lessons. Alexandra could hear her grandmother's voice. Life would be nothing more than random acts if we didn't have the lessons. Ignoring them is what makes senseless tragedies, senseless. | Anna J. McIntyre | ||
| d111fd2 | And he recalled the ancient adage: Who must do the harsh things? He who can. | Trevanian | ||
| 1368313 | Generalization is flawed thinking only when applied to individuals. It is the most accurate way to describe the mass, the Wad. And yours is a democracy, a dictatorship of the Wad. | politics generalizations | Trevanian | |

| 06a7df6 | Harcourt sent my book to Evelyn Waugh and his comment was: "If this is really the unaided work of a young lady, it is a remarkable product." My mother was vastly insulted. She put the emphasis on if and lady. Does he suppose you're not a lady? she says." | Flannery O'Connor | ||

| 1034c8b | Watch your back, wolf. There's a pall over this place and the bears are racking up enemies faster than Wal-Mart rakes in sales. When the time comes, it's going to get bloody. (Thorn) I wouldn't have it any other way. (Fang) Don't be so arrogant. Long before I was the debonair sophisticate standing in front of you, I was a warlord. I put more blood on my blade than Madame la Guillotine. The one thing all that battle taught me is that no one .. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 70c4cd5 | You have twenty-four hours, horseguy, to kill your betrayer any way you see fit and to take your revenge. Make them count. Oh, and know that you can't let daylight touch you. If you do...Well, you don't want to die without your soul. It's highly unpleasant. Sometime in the next few days, a man named Acheron Parthenopaeus will find you and teach you everything you need to know about being a Dark-Hunter. If you're smart, you'll listen to him... | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| bd4f8bb | He went to Tory and with one more push, his son slid into his hands. For a full minute, he couldn't breathe as he stared at the tiniest, most perfect creature he'd ever seen in his life.) "Is it a smurf?" - Tory" | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 14cc091 | The strongest of metals is forged under the most violent of conditions, my lord. It is buried deep in the hottest coals and then beat and pounded until it is bent into shape.

| f570a83 | In essence, we're their servants who help them and who guard them from the public. (Leo) Oh gee, golly, goodie, Mr. Leo! Can I have my eyes gouged out, too? (Susan) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 869f22c | Disease. Filth. Waste. Crime. Brutality. What's there to like? (Solin) There's brutality on Olympus. (Arik) True. But I hate humanity as much as I hate the gods. Both groups are selfish bastards bent on destroying everything around them. They were given a perfect world and rather than enjoy it, they'd rather destroy it and each other. Excuse me if I don't look at them with love in my eyes but rather scorn in my heart. (Solin) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 9db127c | Did you miss my job description? Or were you just not paying attention the day I busted heads on Olympus? Fucking with you people is what I do. It's what I live for and I'm really tired of you now. (ZT) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| e51706d | And that would make you - (Geary) A Cro-Mag, so yeah, when you call me a barbaric caveman, I am. Literally. Hell, I even knew a couple Neanderthals who once kicked my ass all over what is now Toledo, Spain. But here's the fun part. Your boyfriend over there is even older than I am and he's considered a baby by his family. (ZT) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| f602534 | In time, you won't need it to do that. You'll be able to access that part of yourself anytime you need to. But for now, you'll require a tool to help you channel all that teenage hormonal ADD that's bouncing around and through you." - Death" | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 82ff9cc | But you helped me and Arik. Why would you do that if you really feel that way? (Geary) What can I say? It's so much more enjoyable to snatch victory from the hands of the gullible. You guys make the most delightful sound of agony when you're betrayed. (Solin) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 79d5faa | So eager to die are you? (Zakar) Not particularly, but I'd rather go down clubbing Kessar than from boredom. (Kat) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| b9c42c2 | How do you know that? (Stryker) I know everything. I feel every heartbeat in the universe. Hear every scream for mercy and feel every tear of pain. (Jared) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 0a76eeb | Yeah, but you're both offending me with all this love-dovey crap. Get a room. No wait, don't. Separate rooms. Both of you! (Jesse) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 4a538bf | You're telling me that Acheron, my boss, the really tall Atlantean pain in most of our asses, actually authorized the killing of a human?" - Sundown "I can see your confusion. It is highly out of character for him. But since she's been killing off Hunters...I guess he figures it's tit for tat. Or maybe he's just having a really bad day." - Zarek" | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| d5b8702 | You have no idea how much it bothers me to know that I was the man she meant to kill tonight and now I have to protect her." - Ren "Yeah, well, she tried to kill me, too, and I got over it." - Sundown" | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 377f5db | So, how do you kill a dragon? (Channon) With a very sharp sword. (Sebastian) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| bf0a1ec | It's been a full week since she left and all you've done is sulk like a dying cow"(Kish) Dying cows don't sulk." (sin) How do you know? Do you make it a habit to hang around dying cows?" (Kish)" | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 903cb15 | It's not the lies that hurt people. It's the willingness of everyone else to believe them..." Aiden, Upon the Midnight Clear by Sherrilyn Kenyon" | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 1f2a76f | No. He's the personification of human fear. (Leta) Oh, goody. Just what I wanted to add to my dream. Should we invite him over for tea? (Aiden) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| f410ba4 | Would you like tickets for tonight's tour? (Andrei) Like another hole in my head. (Esperetta) That's American slang for 'no thank you. (Francesca) Strange. When I was in New York it was slang for 'no fucking way.' (Andrei) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| f48ab7f | Megeara wants to find it. (Arik) And people in hell want ice water. The entire history of mankind is written by people wanting something they can't have. (Kat) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 8330e0c | Don't you have a girlfriend or family you'd rather be with? (Geary) Only Solin, and honestly, he's not this soft. Even if he was, it'd be gross. (Arik) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 437ad12 | If you can't improve the silence, you shouldn't be speaking. -Hauk | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 17d179e | I'm a gunfighter, Jim, not a demonologist." Sin moved past him so that he could burn the body o n the ground. "Nice Bones impression. Roddenberry would be proud." | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 6504c65 | Marriage and friendship were built on trust and loyalty. Not deceit and lies. Love could only be given. It could never be demanded. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| cf58b64 | I love you Tory. I know I say it a lot, but..." "I know baby. I feel the same way about you. Those words never convey what goes through my mind and heart every time I look up and see you sitting in my house. Funny thign is, I always thought my house was full and that there was nothing missing in my life. I had a job I loved. Family who loved me. Good friends to keep me sane. Everything a human could want. And t hen I met an infuriating, imp.. | love | Sherrilyn Kenyon | |
| 0fd83f1 | And you plan to do this alone? You think a lot of yourself, don't you animal? (Stone) Oh, punk, please. Believe me, when dealing with wusses like you who have to gang up on a kid to feel powerful, I don't need any help. (Fang) | Sherrilyn Kenyon |
