| 9c0e9fa | There's a price for not taking care of yourself as you claim you do so well." His eyes lift to mine and there is mischief in their depths. "I'll have to punish you." I glower at his reference to how well I take care of myself. "Don't be a smart-ass. I can take care of myself." "So you say." His lips quirk, his eyes twinkle, and his dark mood has lightened in a flash as it often does. "I'm just looking out for us both. I need you alive and w.. | Lisa Renee Jones | ||

| d4ffb70 | Darkness surrounded me, a complete absence of light that left me shaking inside. No. It wasn't the darkness that had me shaking. It was him. I could feel him, even if I could not see him. Oh yes, I could feel him. In every pore of my body, every nerve ending I owned, I could feel him. | Lisa Renee Jones | ||

| aa94888 | A woman must continually watch herself. She is almost continually accompanied by her own image of herself. Whilst she is walking across a room or whilst she is weeping at the death of her father, she can scarcely avoid envisaging herself walking or weeping. From earliest childhood she has been taught and persuaded to survey herself continually. ... ... Every woman's presence regulates what is and is not 'permissible' within her presence.

| 5a85f27 | What is most appealing about young folks, after all, is the changes, not the still photograph of finished character but the movie, the soul in flux. | Thomas Pynchon | ||
| 86eafec | He had decided long ago that no Situation had any objective reality: it only existed in the minds of those who happened to be in on it at any specific moment. Since these several minds tended to form a sum total or complex more mongrel than homogeneous, The Situation must necessarily appear to a single observer much like a diagram in four dimensions to an eye conditioned to seeing its world in only three. | Thomas Pynchon | ||
| 78497b6 | To those of us who survived [...], it also means that we have learned to stand outside our history and watch it, without feeling too much. A little schizoid. | Thomas Pynchon | ||
| 42f131a | If there is something comforting-religious , if you want-about paranoia-there is still also anti-paranoia, where nothing is connected to anything, a condition not many of us can bear for long. | Thomas Pynchon | ||
| b4cfd5f | One summer afternoon Mrs Oedipa Maas came home from a Tupperware party whose hostess had put perhaps too much kirsch in the fondue to find that she, Oedipa, had been named executor, or she supposed executrix, of the estate of one Pierce Inverarity, a California real estate mogul who had once lost two million dollars in his spare time but still had assets numerous and tangled enough to make the job of sorting it all out more than honorary. | Thomas Pynchon | ||

| 3101ac6 | Oh, why must you make me look at unpleasant things when there are so many delightful ones to see?" Again Mrs Which's voice reverberated through the cave.

| abb742e | Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (October 15, 1844 - August 25, 1900) was a German philosopher. His writing included critiques of religion, morality, contemporary culture, philosophy, and science, using a distinctive style and displaying a fondness for aphorism. Nietzsche's influence remains substantial within and beyond philosophy, notably in existentialism and postmodernism. Nietzsche began his career as a philologist before turning to philoso.. | Friedrich Nietzsche | ||

Toda esa historia de Jesus es realmente interesante, ?no te parece? --?Que quieres decir? --Toda aquella gente que quiso matarle sin que el les hubiera hecho nada. Vacilo.

| bbe2219 | Gee, I'm really glad I came." Jess turned to Leslie in unbelief. "It was better than a movie." "You're kidding." "No, I'm not." And she wasn't. He could tell by her face. "That whole Jesus thing is really interesting, isn't it?" "What d'you mean?" "All those people wanting to kill him when he hadn't done anything to hurt them." She hesitated. "It's really kind of a beautiful story--like Abraham Lincoln or Socrates--or Aslan." | Katherine Paterson | ||

| 392f33e | As he took possession of it, he was overcome by a sense of something like sacred awe. He carefully spread his horse blanket on the ground as if dressing an altar and lay down on it. He felt blessedly wonderful. He was lying a hundred and fifty feet below the earth, inside the loneliest mountain in France - as if in his own grave. Never in his life had he felt so secure, certainly not in his mother's belly. The world could go up on flames ou.. | Patrick Süskind | ||

| 2fc9d1b | If we want to discuss love, which after all we believe is something very special, it is not much help for someone to explain that it represents a universal basic principle governing the tides and the digestive system alike. He might as well tell us that death is a thermodynamic phenomenon affecting both the amoeba and a black hole in the constellation of Pegasus - and he would still have told us nothing. | love | Patrick Süskind | |
