| 76d2f9f | I felt as if the Milky Way, hovering above our heads like a celestial pitcher, had suddenly overturned, pouring suns and planets down my throat. Stars seemed to be shooting out of my finger and toes, the ends of my hair. | stars love | Meg Cabot | |
| b0efbf5 | I remembered lying there in my wet panties, going, "What do I do now?" Jason was asleep, but even if he hadn't been, I wouldn't have told him what had happened. I was convinced I'd never have heard the end of it. "Wet the bed like a baby!" he'd cry. Well, knowing Jason, he probably wouldn't have said any such thing. But in my feverish four-year-old brain, I was convinced he wouldn't want to be my friend anymore if he knew I was a bed wetter.. | Meg Cabot | ||

| 6dca0e6 | God, sit by the freak, why don't you." "Excuse me, do you have Tourette's?" "What?" "Tourette's Syndrome. It's a neurological disorder that causes people to say things they don't really mean. Do you have it?" "No." "Oh, so you were being purposely rude." "I wasn't calling YOU a freak." "I'm aware of that. That's why I'm only going to break ONE of your fingers after school, instead of all of them." -- | Meg Cabot | ||
| 1673dc9 | All men are pigs and I hope they die and monkeys take over, then things would be way better. | Meg Cabot | ||
| 4d89cff | It wasn't until Hope fluttered over and landed at Alex's feet, peering questioningly up at him, that he finally tore his hands away from his eyes. "Oh, my God," he said, sounding disgusted. "Why is there a looking at me?" "That's Miss Oliviera's bird," Henry volunteered cheerfully. "The captain gave it to her as a present." Kayla punched me in the arm. "John's got his captain's license?" she whispered. "You are so lucky. Frank says he jus.. | Meg Cabot | ||
| 5091e8f | Michael and I are an anomaly. Hardly anyone stays together forever with their first significant other, except maybe in YA novels. And usually when they do, it's because he's a vampire or a werewolf or owns a beautiful estate called Pemberley or something. | Meg Cabot | ||
| 953fb14 | One of the many advantages of having a boyfriend who is half French is that his culinary repertoire extends beyond mac and cheese. Plus, there's the kissing. | french | Meg Cabot | |
| 61f587b | Leola Mae Harmon. I saw a movie about her on the Lifetime channel. Leola was an air force nurse who was in a car accident and the lower part of her face got all mangled, but then Armand Assante, who plays a plastic surgeon, said he could fix her. Leola had to endure hours of painful reconstructive surgery, during which her husband left her because she didn't have any lips (which I guess is why the movie is called Why Me?). Armand Assante sa.. | Meg Cabot | ||

| f32ced0 | I thought there was something weird with all of you, I just couldn't figure out what it was. But now I know. It all makes sense." Her dark, tear-filled eyes sparkled as her accusatory gaze traveled from one of us to the other. "I can tell you battle on the side of good, and I want to join you." She turned to Frank, brushed her curly hair away from her throat, and closed her eyes. "Go ahead. Do it." There was a long silence as everyone stare.. | meg-cabot underworld | Meg Cabot | |
| 921aa3a | Marcus's appearance the day before had been discussed, dissected, analyzed, and--by Lady Sarah Pleinsworth, Honoria's cousin and one of her closest friends --rendered into poetry. "He came in the rain," Sarah intoned. "The day had been plain." Honoria nearly spit out her tea. "It was muddy, this lane--" Cecily Royle smiled slyly over her teacup. "Have you considered free verse?" "--our heroine, in pain--" "I was cold," Honoria put in. Iris .. | Julia Quinn | ||

| dda0c10 | Are you - are you sad?" - No. "But your - your songs are sad." - My songs are of time and distance. The sadness is in you. Watch my arms. There is only the dance. These things you treasure are shells." | William Gibson | ||
| adbcc56 | And in the bloodlit dark behind his eyes, silver phosphenes boiled in from the edge of space, hypnagogic images jerking past like a film compiled of random frames. Symbols, figures, faces, a blurred, fragmented mandala of visual information. | William Gibson | ||
| e4d5535 | Paranoia, he said, was fundamentally egocentric, and every conspiracy theory served in some way to aggrandize the believer. But he was also fond of saying, at other times, that even paranoid schizophrenics have enemies. | paranoia | William Gibson | |

| 2b48d44 | Ronald Spiers: The only hope you have is to accept the fact that you're already dead. The sooner you accept that, the sooner you'll be able to function as a soldier is supposed to function: without mercy, without compassion, without remorse. All war depends upon it. | war | Stephen E. Ambrose | |

| 0e2b269 | Sometimes I closed my eyes hard to avoid thinking, but the eye of the mind refused to be closed and continued to plague me with images. | images thinking | Ishmael Beah | |
| cdca268 | Every time people come at us with the intention of killing us, I close my eyes and wait for death. Even thought I am still alive, I feel like each time I accept death, part of me dies. Very soon I will completely die and all that will be left is my empty body walking with you. It will be quieter than I am. | lose-of-hope | Ishmael Beah | |
| 199e211 | The only way to make a library safe is to lock people out of it. As long as they are allowed to read the books 'any old time they have a mind to,' libraries will remain the nurseries of heresy and independence of thought. They will, in fact, preserve that freedom which is a far more important part of our lives than any ideology or orthodoxy, the freedom that dissolves orthodoxies and inspires solutions to the ever-changing challenges of the.. | libraries freedom ideas thought | Edmund S. Morgan | |

| ca23559 | How did he get his ideas? "I'm enough of an artist to draw freely on my imagination. Imagination is more important than knowledge. Knowledge is limited. Imagination encircles the world." | Walter Isaacson | ||
| 34c5d47 | If we want to be more like Leonardo, we have to be fearless about changing our minds based on new information. | Walter Isaacson | ||
| 9399ce1 | men who desire nothing but material riches and are absolutely devoid of the desire for wisdom, which is the sustenance and truly dependable wealth of the mind. | Walter Isaacson | ||
| 6ea110e | But the main lesson to draw from the birth of computers is that innovation is usually a group effort, involving collaboration between visionaries and engineers, and that creativity comes from drawing on many sources. Only in storybooks do inventions come like a thunderbolt, or a lightbulb popping out of the head of a lone individual in a basement or garret or garage. | Walter Isaacson | ||
| 639d452 | For a moment she was truly terrified. This was Abbadon the Cruel. The Angel of Destruction. He could and would destroy her if he had to. If he felt like it. He had destroyed worlds before. He had decimated Paradise in the name of the Morningstar. She trembled in his grasp. All his gentleness, all his kindness, all the bright shining gorgeousness of his love, he had always given to someone else. He had adored Gabrielle, had worshiped her, ha.. | melissa de la cruz | ||

| b612e1d | And if we had learned anything from this story it was to be cautious of paper--to be mindful of its fragile construction and sharp edges, but mostly to be cautious of what is written on it. | Salvador Plascencia | ||
| 37516c7 | Like all stories of creators who bring life from the dead, his story began with a struggling butcher, who chased a gray cat, caught it, took off its studded collar, and slit its throat. | story imagination | Salvador Plascencia | |
| eaf2e8a | Kim sat up. "You all sound like you don't take this seriously, like you don't want me to get Brian free. Brian's mother is barely holding it together. You and Sean had to do the comforting sandwich with her, remember?" | Jennifer Ashley | ||
| 1c70a48 | She heard the echoes of Ian's screams in her head. Beth pressed her forehead to his hands, her heart wrenching. Ian's hands were large, sinews hard under his kid-leather gloves. Yes, he was strong. In the Tuileres Gardens, it had taken both Mac and Curry to pull him away from Fellows. That didn't mean others could try to tear at that strength, try to defeat him. The doctors in the horrible asylum had done it, and now Fellows was trying to. .. | Jennifer Ashley | ||

| ed271d3 | The inside of my head is out of control. It is on fire. It is snowing. It is a wild jungle. It is an Arctic wilderness. It is everything that has ever happened and everything that ever will happen, all at once. | Emily Barr | ||
| 29266a9 | When I first submerged my feet into frigid water, they hurt so badly I yanked them out again. I persisted, dunking them for longer and longer periods, until the cold finally blistered. | Sara Gruen | ||
| cf60fcc | To be sure, I'm not perfect wife material: I'm neurotic. I'm compulsive. I speak before I think and can't cook worth a damn. I'm messy and germaphobic all at once, and it's not entirely unheard of for me to get hold of the wrong end of the stick and then hang there like a pitbull. | Sara Gruen | ||
