| 7a1737d | I've a sense for these things. Tonight you're aching for a man." At that, she glanced away. "You might be right, Scot," she said casually, then faced him once more. Her voice a purr, she said, "But are the man I await...where I ache?" -- | Kresley Cole | ||
| cce42a9 | I want Holly to experience life. To take away the blinders she has so assiduously relied on. I think you're just the type of person to show her what she doesn't know and doesn't want to know. My niece is innocent in so many ways, and there comes a time in a woman's life when innocence is merely a euphemism for ignorance. | Kresley Cole | ||
| b91a18b | Enough. You're going to make yourself sick." He clasped her hand to help her up. She reluctantly let him. "But I haven't eaten more than a regular meal." "Lass, there's more where that came from. You doona have to behave like it's your last meal." She laughed without humor. "Spoken like a man who's never missed one." -Maddy" | Kresley Cole | ||

| e022591 | Why couldn't I be down there having fun like a normal teenage girl? Why did I always have to feel threatened? Under fire? | Kresley Cole | ||
| 3168816 | We've found his lair in a mortal city called York--" "It's York," Stelian said with a roll of his eyes, as if he'd explained this before." | Kresley Cole | ||
| 5928be4 | Lachlain and Emma: 'So you expect us to sit in this enclosed compartment the entire way in silence?' 'Of course not.' She clicked on the radio. | kresley-cole lachlain-macrieve | Kresley Cole | |
| ef5ab35 | Kill first and then say, "Gosh, were you actually good? My duh!" | Kresley Cole | ||
| 8719574 | He opened his mouth to speak, closed it, then tried again: "That wild storm was a tiny fraction of what was going on inside me. I look at you . . . and I soar. I make love to you, and everything is new; I feel . . . so much. I'm certain my chest will explode from it. . . . Gods, I make no sense, do I?" | Kresley Cole | ||
| 0973bb9 | Earlier, I'd found Lark in the gym, telling her, "I'm giving Cyclops a bath." Her response: "Your funeral." | Kresley Cole | ||

| 6083b0d | She'd always pitied the plight of genies until once when she'd freed one from a young beserker. Instead of thanks, the chit had laid into her, screaming, | Kresley Cole | ||

| a61b8f8 | Greedy for more?"Grinding his hardness against her hip,he nuzzled her neck,her ear,murmuring words in Russian.His warn breaths against her made her shiver wildly."Wh-what did you say?" "I talked filth in your ear."Voice gone ragged,he said,"I told you that you've got the prettiest little pussy I've ever seen,and then I told you what I'm going to do with it." | Kresley Cole | ||

| 0982676 | When you see someone, all you see is what they let you see. | Robert Crais | ||
| c850dff | Some of us find our way with a single light to guide us; others lose themselves even when the star field is as sharp as a neon ceiling. Ethics may not be situational, but feelings are. We learn to adjust, and, over time, the stars we use to guide ourselves come to reside within rather than without. | robert-crais | Robert Crais | |
| 37da6c7 | Perhaps there is a philosophical as well as a clinical lesson here: that in Korsakov's, or dementia, or other such catastrophes, however great the organic damage and Humean dissolution, there remains the undiminished possibility of reintegration by art, by communion, by touching the human spirit: and this can be preserved in what seems at first a hopeless state of neurological devastation. | Oliver Sacks | ||
| 88e771c | The 'secret' of Shostakovich, it was suggested--by a Chinese neurologist, Dr Dajue Wang--was the presence of a metallic splinter, a mobile shell-fragment, in his brain, in the temporal horn of the left ventricle. Shostakovich was very reluctant, apparently, to have this removed: Since the fragment had been there, he said, each time he leaned his head to one side he could hear music. His head was filled with melodies--different each time--wh.. | Oliver Sacks | ||
| d06c9db | The act of writing, when it goes well, gives me a pleasure, a joy, unlike any other. It takes me to another place--irrespective of my subject--where I am totally absorbed and oblivious to distracting thoughts, worries, preoccupations, or indeed the passage of time. In those rare, heavenly states of mind, I may write nonstop until I can no longer see the paper. Only then do I realize that evening has come and that I have been writing all day.. | Oliver Sacks | ||
| b91a3e9 | If vampires ever spend less time playing theatrics and living down to their stereotypes, they might actually take over the world someday | Carrie Vaughn | ||
| f29fc9a | Just so you know, I'm straight. Totally straight. As an arrow." Her voice held a smile. "So am I" | Carrie Vaughn | ||

| 0ae7433 | Faculty X is simply that latent power in human beings possess to reach beyond the present. After all, we know perfectly well that the past is as real as the present, and that New York and Singapore and Lhasa and Stepney Green are all as real as the place I happen to be in at the moment. Yet my senses do not agree. They assure me that this place, here and now, is far more real than any other place or any other time. Only in certain moments o.. | human-being past present reality | Colin Wilson | |
| d8fb6d3 | In the glare, the great and terrible light of this happening, God seems to signal that the story of the rest of us need not end, and that the new light can prove a troubled dawn. For the rest of us, perhaps. Not for the dead, not for the more than fifty million real dead in the world's worst catastrophe: victors and vanquished, combatants and civilians, people of so many nations, men, women, and children, all cut down. For them there can be.. | Herman Wouk | ||

| dd00a3f | When I asked Robert Spitzer about the possibility that he'd inadvertently created a world in which ordinary behaviours were being labelled mental disorders, he fell silent. I waited for him to answer. But the silence lasted three minutes. Finally he said, 'I don't know. | Jon Ronson | ||
| 3b57910 | L.A. kills people.' Jacaranda said. 'You're lucky you're leaving. You'll be able to write.' She looked paler, going through another depression, smoking in bed in her lilac room. The walls were the color of her veins. She was getting too thin, even for the modeling. . .Jacaranda died last winter when the flowering trees were bare. You couldn't even tell which ones once cried the purple blossoms she named herself after. | friendship winter | Francesca Lia Block | |

| 0ccedd5 | When they first kiss, there on the beach, they will kneel at the edge of the Pacific and say a prayer of thanks, sending all the stories of love inside them out in a fleet of bottles all across the oceans of the world. | Francesca Lia Block | ||
| 6b19cf8 | However brief our time in the sun, if we waste a second of it, or complain that it is dull or barren or (like a child) boring, couldn't this be seen as a callous insult to those unborn trillions who will never even be offered life in the first place? | life religion science | Richard Dawkins | |
| 0255b06 | there are no natural borderlines in evolution. The illusion of a borderline is created by the fact that the evolutionary intermediates happen to be extinct. | Richard Dawkins | ||
| afef8b0 | Evolution sceptic: Professor Haldane, even given the billions of years that you say were available for evolution, I simply cannot believe it is possible to go from a single cell to a complicated human body, with its trillions of cells organized into bones and muscles and nerves, a heart that pumps without ceasing for decades, miles and miles of blood vessels and kidney tubules, and a brain capable of thinking and talking and feeling.

| b170a15 | I believe that an orderly universe, one indifferent to human preoccupations, in which everything has an expla nation even if we still have a long way to go before we find it, is a more beautiful, more wonderful place than a universe tricked out with capricious, ad hoc magic. | reason | Richard Dawkins | |
| df280fb | We need a name for the new replicator, a noun that conveys the idea of a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation. 'Mimeme' comes from a suitable Greek root, but I want a monosyllable that sounds a bit like 'gene'. I hope my classicist friends will forgive me if I abbreviate mimeme to meme. If it is any consolation, it could alternatively be thought of as being related to 'memory', or to the French word meme. It should be prono.. | Richard Dawkins | ||
| 80b4e6d | I have found it an amusing strategy, when asked whether I am an atheist, to point out that the questioner is also an atheist when considering Zeus, Apollo, Amon Ra, Mithras, Baal, Thor, Wotan, the Golden Calf and the Flying Spaghetti Monster. I just go one god further. | flying-spaghetti-monster god religion skepticism theology | Richard Dawkins | |
| 20c3d1d | There is bound to be variation in the population of males in their predisposition to be faithful husbands. If females could recognize such qualities in advance, they could benefit themselves by choosing males possessing them. One way for a female to do this is to play hard to get for a long time, to be coy. Any male who is not patient enough to wait until the female eventually consents to copulate is not likely to be a good bet as a faithfu.. | Richard Dawkins | ||
| cbe5798 | Shouldn't children be taught critical, sceptical thinking from an early age? Shouldn't we all be taught to doubt, to weigh up plausibility, to demand evidence? | Richard Dawkins |
