| acd39c6 | Joley likes to be scared, and she can't watch them alone." "I don't know how you can make that sound perfectly logical." | Christine Feehan | ||
| a987791 | For all too many of these high-born revolutionaries, the main attraction of 'the cause' lay not so much in the satisfaction which they might derive from seeing the people's daily lives improved, as in their own romantic search for sense of 'wholeness' which might give higher meaning to their lives and to end alienation from the world. | Orlando Figes | ||
| 261ab32 | I need you right now, Shea. My body is going up in flames, and I hurt like hell. We have to be alone soon or I might die." Her laughter muffled against his chest. "No one has ever died because they wanted to make love." But she wasn't sure. Her own body was burning and begging for the connection to his. Gregori suddenly materialized, made a soft, sighing noise, and sent them a clear frown. Like guilty children they broke apart." | Christine Feehan | ||
| 6c21170 | Today's my wedding day, Mom," he said softly aloud. "I'm marrying the woman I always told you I would someday." | Christine Feehan | ||
| f0476b4 | He rarely smoked, but once in a while, like now, when his world had been shaken, his woman nearly killed in front of his eyes, and he'd watched a house consume a man and spit him out, he figured a drag or two were appropriate. | stress-relief smoking | Christine Feehan | |
| 245f37c | What does kiciciyapi mitawa mean?" He kept his head on her breasts. "What?" "You called me kicicyapi mitawa. It sounded so beautiful. It wasn't Japanese. What was it?" "It's the voice of the Lakota. It would sound silly in English." He cupped her breast, his fingers moving lightly over her skin. His breath warm on her heart. | love feehan ghostwalkers nico | Christine Feehan | |
| 71e4a3e | There was a certain feminine satisfaction in having the last word, delivering her line smartly, and breaking the connection between them quickly and decisively. | Christine Feehan | ||
| dcc1ca5 | I told you,lifemate, you're always taking off my clothes." "Then stop wearing the damn things," he responded gruffly,his hands at her tiny waist, his mouth finding her flat stomach. "Someday my child will be growing right here," he said softly, kissing her belly. His hands pinned her thighs so that he could explore easily without interruption. "A beautiful little girl with your looks and my disposition." Savannah laughed softly, her arms cr.. | Christine Feehan | ||
| be572cc | I sent a clear warning to you, Aidan." There was a hint of censure in his words, although his voice was soft. There was a hard edge to Aidan's mouth. "I received your warning. But this is my city, Gregori, and my family. I take care of my own." Savannah rolled her eyes. "You could just beat on your chests,you know. It probably works just as well." Gregori ordered. Savannah burst out laughing, then reached up to caress his shadowed jaw. "Ke.. | Christine Feehan | ||

| ef0d292 | I prefer the mountains." He said it quietly,neutrally. She suddenly grinned at him, that mischievous,impish smile he couldn't resist. "When an old geezer marries a young chick,he has to learn to get back into the swing of things. Party time. Night life.Does it ring a bell, or has it been too long?" she teased. Gregori bunched her hair in his hand and tugged."Show some respect, ,or I might have to turn you over my knee." "Kinky." One delica.. | Christine Feehan | ||
| d30c825 | Son of a bitch, you're scary," he informed Jackson. "Where the hell did you get that look? Practicing in the mirror every day?" | Christine Feehan | ||
| 2cc1394 | Jack glanced at ken. "Lily is a brilliant woman when it comes to academics, but she;'s so blind when it comes to people." It was a small warning to keep Ken's anger from boiling over. "She's struggling to accept that Whitney needs to die, but she needs more time. The pregnancy also probably makes her more emotional when it comes to her father." "When the hell did you get so smart?" Ken demanded. "I've been reading all the pregnancy books." .. | Christine Feehan | ||
| c7c2062 | For Lily, there was only her phantom lover, bold enough, arrogant enough, crazy enough to dare follow her here when he was in far more danger than she could ever be. | Christine Feehan | ||
| cee207f | You have to be more discerning, Lily, when experimenting with bondage." He wiggled his eyebrows. "I'd make a great master." | Christine Feehan | ||
| 9d098e0 | I think my vision's blurred," he murmurred. SHe responded with a hesitant laugh. "If that's all that happened, you're a heck of a better kisser than I am. I can't stand up." "I'm afraid to touch you. We might go up in flames." She sighed. "They story of my life..." | Christine Feehan | ||
| 4f5d507 | As a child he had grown up without a mother or even a grandmother. He had never really explored emotional relationships or marriage. He'd never been given advice on the matter. The closest he'd really come to seeing a relationship was watching Ryland Miller pursue Lily. The man had lost his mind. Nicholas had a feeling he'd joined the ranks of en losing their mind over women. | Christine Feehan | ||
| 5eb86cc | Baby don't do this." He whispered the words. Why did he thought if she cried she'd feel better? It was too much, too much sorrow for her. He pulled her beneath him, lying over her, somehow trying with his body to protect her from the ggrief. She came awake, her eyes wide, black. Swimming with tears. "Nicholas? What is it?" He touched his face, the lines of worry there. "You're crying, honey. I thought it would be good for you to cry, but no.. | Christine Feehan | ||
| c860c4f | You listen to me this one time, Dahlia. If something goes wrong, anything at all, you haul butt out of here fast. You have the cell phone and the number. Call Lily. The Ghost Walkers will be here as soon as possible." She caught him before he could turn away. "You listen to me this one time, Nicholas. If anything goes wrong, don't be a hero. Haul your butt out of there and in one piece. We'll call Lily, and she can send the others." | Christine Feehan | ||
| ec32af6 | Do you think anything else can go wrong tonight?" Kaden turned to look at Nicholas coming up behind her and nodded. "Yes ma'am. I'd say all kinds of things could go wrong." | Christine Feehan | ||
| cadc3e9 | I can't help it, Kate. And I'm laughing at me. I feel like one of those sappy men who run around with a big grin on his face all the time. I feel like grinning all the time around you, and it's so idiotic. | love | Christine Feehan | |
| 6f5ed52 | The best thing for being sad," replied Merlyn, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then--.. | T.H. White | ||
| b1769e5 | Lancelot and Guenever were sitting at the solar window. An observer of the present day, who knew the Arthurian legend only from Tennyson and people of that sort, would have been startled to see that the famous lovers were past their prime. We, who have learned to base our interpretation of love on the conventional boy-and-girl romance of Romeo and Juliet, would be amazed if we could step back into the Middle Ages - when the poet of chivalry.. | love guinevere lancelot | T.H. White | |
| 1ecf5b1 | I tend to flood and freeze up if I'm feeling overwhelmed. When this happens, it's usually because I feel like the world is crashing down and all is lost. One trick I've learned is to force myself to make a list of what's actually wrong. Usually, soon into making the list, I find I can group most of the issues into two or three larger all-encompassing problems. So it's really not all that bad. Having a finite list of problems is much better .. | Ed Catmull | ||
| 2c63f47 | THERE IS NOTHING quite like ignorance combined with a driving need to succeed to force rapid learning. | Ed Catmull | ||
| 0ad432c | And I want you to know that I am both happy and sad and I'm still trying to figure out how that could be. | Stephen Chbosky | ||
| b318482 | It's like he would take a photograph of Sam, and the photograph would be beautiful. And he would think that the reason the photograph was beautiful was because of how he took it. If I took it, I would know that the only reason it's beautiful is because of Sam. I just think it's bad when a boy looks at a girl and thinks that the way he sees the girl is better then the girl actually is. And I think it's bad when the most honest way a boy can .. | Stephen Chbosky | ||
| 066de72 | Charlie, we accept the love we think we deserve. | Stephen Chbosky | ||
| ddf3cd6 | My day has been too long. In the morning I saw the sons of the Unamis happy and strong; and yet, before the sun has come, have I lived to see the last warrior of the wise race of the Mohicans. | James Fenimore Cooper | ||
| f62d2e0 | Finally, when young people who "want to help mankind" come to me asking, "What should I do? I want to reduce poverty, save the world," and similar noble aspirations at the macro-level, my suggestion is: 1) Never engage in virtue signaling; 2) Never engage in rent-seeking; 3) You must start a business. Put yourself on the line, start a business." -- | Nassim Nicholas Taleb | ||
| 7fce9a8 | be. So I follow the Lindy effect as a guide in selecting what to read: books that have been around for ten years will be around for ten more; books that have been around for two millennia should be around for quite a bit of time, and so forth. | Nassim Nicholas Taleb | ||

| 40f6e1b | If the past, by bringing surprises, did not resemble the past previous to it (what I call the past's past), then why should our future resemble our current past? | past | Nassim Nicholas Taleb | |
| 9a373eb | Since the Enlightenment, in the great tension between rationalism (how we would like things to be so they make sense to us) and empiricism (how things are), we have been blaming the world for not fitting the beds of "rational" models, have tried to change humans to fit technology, fudged our ethics to fit our needs for employment, asked economic life to fit the theories of economists, and asked human life to squeeze into some narrative." | Nassim Nicholas Taleb | ||
| 45b25ce | Entrepreneurs are heroes in our society. They fail for the rest of us. | Nassim Nicholas Taleb | ||
| 4459483 | The epiphany I had in my career in randomness came when I understood that I was not intelligent enough, nor strong enough, to even try to fight my emotions. | Nassim Nicholas Taleb | ||
| 08a783c | Wind extinguishes a candle and energizes fire. Likewise with randomness, uncertainty, chaos: you want to use them, not hide from them. You want to be the fire and wish for the wind. | Nassim Nicholas Taleb | ||
| 184370d | Our human race is affected by a chronic underestimation of the possibility of the future straying from the course initially envisioned (in addition to other biases that sometimes exert a compounding effect). To take an obvious example, think about how many people divorce. Almost all of them are acquainted with the statistic that between one-third and one-half of all marriages fail, something the parties involved did not forecast while tying.. | Nassim Nicholas Taleb | ||
| 3c118f2 | Regular minds find similarities in stories (and situations); finer minds detect differences. | Nassim Nicholas Taleb | ||

| ef38db2 | Relax," Lucian said dryly. "Bricker will not leave without me. The SUV is--" "What?" Basil asked when his brother paused with his arm half raised, shock crossing his features. "The little shit just drove away without me," Lucian said with amazement." | lucian | Lynsay Sands | |
| ce462ce | Bring the luggage in, Thomas," Lucian ordered with a frown as he approached the front. "What about the girl?" Thomas asked with irritation. "That's what I meant." Lucian stepped through the open front doors of the house." | Lynsay Sands | ||
| 5adae62 | Lovely was my compliment. Could you not come up with your own?" "Lord Paen said compliment her, he did not say we had to be creative about it," the second man pointed out with a shrug" | Lynsay Sands |
