| 4553b33 | As she took a deep breath, all she smelled was him, the scent going in her nose and blooming all over her body. Bastard, she thought. Irresistible bastard | marissa lover-revealed butch | J.R. Ward | |
| 0271ff8 | Jim finished his beer and wondered how in the hell he'd found himself in the role of Cupid. Man, if those four lads even thought about getting him to wear the wings and a diaper while he nocked his arrow, he was so renegotiating his employee contract. And not with words. | J.R. Ward | ||
| 3fcb2e8 | Conservatism is the cousin of cowardice. | J.R. Ward | ||
| b93816d | Last fight I had with the bitch ended way too soon." Eddie rolled his eyes and glanced at Jim. "It was in the Middle Ages and he still hasn't gotten over it." | J.R. Ward | ||
| aeebc6e | Taking a couple of deep breaths, he knew he had to choose his words carefully--in spite of the fact that his adrenal gland had opened up full-bore and was pumping enough OMG into his system that he was drowning in terror. | J.R. Ward | ||

| b87f18b | The good parts are more luminous because you can trust them. And the bad parts can't get any more tragic for precisely the same reason. The past is safe because it is indelible. | J.R. Ward | ||

| 7feb7d6 | The door to Blay's room opened wide without a knock, a hello, a hey-are-you-decent. Qhuinn stood in between the jambs, breathing hard, like he'd run down the hall of statues. Sh**, had Layla lost the pregnancy after all? Those mismatched eyes searched around. "You by yourself?" Why the hell would-- Oh, Saxton. Right. "Yes--" The male took three strides forward, reached up . . . and kissed the ever-loving crap out of Blay. The kiss was the k.. | J.R Ward | ||
| 44206bb | As she began rattling off a number of multi-syllabic Latin-derived medical terms, he had to rearrange himself in his leathers. Something about her getting all professional made him want to get all up in her. Probably had to do with the bonding thing--he wanted to mark this spectacular person as his, so the whole world knew they needed to back the fuck off. Jane was the only female who had ever gotten his attention and held it. And yeah, if .. | J.R. Ward | ||

| 38eb78c | But the Elves were not so lightly to be caught. As soon as Sauron set the One Ring upon his finger they were aware of him; and they knew him, and perceived that he would be master of them, and of an that they wrought. Then in anger and fear they took off their rings. But he, finding that he was betrayed and that the Elves were not deceived, was filled with wrath; and he came against them with open war, demanding that all the rings should be.. | sauron three-rings | J.R.R. Tolkien | |

| 69233a7 | Is it my turn yet?" Lassiter asked over the earpiece. "I was born ready for this." "Of all the people who could be immortal," V muttered, "why are you one of them?" "Because I'm awwwwwesome," the fallen angel sang. "And I'm part of your team--" "No, you're not--" "--living your dream!" Butch's head started thumping even worse. "Shut up, Lass. I can't do singing right now." "It's from Despicable Me," the angel commented. Like he was being he.. | J.R. Ward | ||

| f7025e7 | You know Balbec so well - do you have friends in the area?' I have friends wherever there are companies of trees, wounded but not vanquished, which huddle together with touching obstinacy to implore an inclement and pitiless sky.' That is not what I meant,' interrupted my father, as obstinate as the trees and as pitiless as the sky. | nature | Marcel Proust | |
| 850d588 | Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners | Marcel Proust | ||
| ad15177 | in all countries fools outnumber the rest; | Marcel Proust | ||
| 8befdf7 | Each of us is indeed alone. | Marcel Proust | ||
| 6880b97 | We passionately long that there may be another life in which we shall be similar to what we are here below. But we do not pause to reflect that, even without waiting for that other life, in this life, after a few years we are unfaithful to what we have been, to what we wished to remain immortally. | Marcel Proust | ||
| 62325a2 | when the heartstrings, which contentment has silenced, like a harp laid by, yearn to be plucked and sounded again by some hand, however rough, even if it should break them; | Marcel Proust | ||

| 6f36d29 | Illness is the most heeded of doctors: to kindness and wisdom we make promises only; pain we obey. | Marcel Proust | ||
| 59f801f | The idea of popular art, like that of a patriotic art, if not actually dangerous seemed to me ridiculous. If the intention was to make art accessible to the people by sacrificing refinements of form, on the ground that they are "all right for the idle rich" but not for anybody else, I had seen enough of fashionable society to know that it is there that one finds real illiteracy and not, let us say, among electricians." | Marcel Proust | ||
| 3d5a751 | But to ask pity of our body is like discoursing in front of an octopus, for which our words can have no more meaning than the sound of the tides, and with which we should be appalled to find ourselves condemned to live. | Marcel Proust | ||
| e0318d4 | It is not because other people are dead that our affection for them grows faint, it is because we ourselves are dying. | Marcel Proust | ||
| c5da983 | Whether it is because the faith which creates has ceased to exist in me, or because reality takes shape in the memory alone, the flowers that people show me nowadays for the first time never seem to me to be true flowers. | Marcel Proust | ||

| 7f9804f | We find that whole communities suddenly fix their minds upon one object, and go mad in its pursuit; that millions of people become simultaneously impressed with one delusion, and run after it, till their attention is caught by some new folly more captivating than the first. | Charles MacKay | ||
| dc126fc | Problems seldom go away if they're ignored. | Arthur C. Clarke | ||
| 745d7dc | Have you ever heard of Arthur C. Clarke's third law of prediction? It states that any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. Take a smart phone and hand it to an ancient Roman. He'll think it's a magic window into the world of the gods and that the Beyonce video playing on it is showing him Venus. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 36b5535 | The world's now placid, featureless, and culturally dead: nothing really new has been created since the Overlords came. The reason's obvious. There's nothing left to struggle for, and there are too many distractions and entertainments. Do you realize that every day something like five hundred hours of radio and TV pour out over the various channels? If you went without sleep and did nothing else, you could follow less than a twentieth of th.. | Arthur C. Clarke | ||

| 2c7fe51 | It is a bitter thought, but you must face it. The planets you may one day possess. But the stars are not for man. | Arthur C. Clarke | ||
| 2ecccd0 | no on of intelligence resents the inevitable. | rationality | Arthur C. Clarke | |
| cdc3cde | How long can a man live on the outside before he loses his ability to love? How long before there's no more hope? | Elizabeth Lowell | ||
| e0a9fa0 | those at the very top of the class--are going to face a burden that they would not face in a less competitive atmosphere. Citizens of happy countries have higher suicide rates than citizens of unhappy countries, because they look at the smiling faces around them and the contrast is too great. Students at "great" schools look at the brilliant students around them, and how do you think they feel? The phenomenon of relative deprivation applied.. | Malcolm Gladwell | ||
| 049606d | as it may be--matters. How you feel about your abilities--your academic "self-concept"--in the context of your classroom shapes your willingness to tackle challenges and finish difficult tasks. It's a crucial element in your motivation and confidence." | Malcolm Gladwell |
