| dff8324 | It was only later that I realised that I had experienced extended close contact with another human without feeling uncomfortable. I attributed it to my concentration on correctly executing the dance steps. | Graeme Simsion | ||
| d32d2a9 | I thought you were happy about having a baby.' I was happy in the way that I would be happy if the captain of an aircraft in which I was travelling announced that he had succeeded in restarting one engine after both had failed. Pleased that I would now probably survive, but shocked that the situation had arisen in the first place, and expecting a thorough investigation into the circumstances. | Graeme Simsion | ||
| ee50327 | Just show him that I didn't need his apology, I guess. Show him that I was okay. Better than okay. I was happy, in spite of everything he'd done to me, and no, I didn't forgive him. God help me, I would not forgive him. | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 88b8b0d | Yes, you're sleeping in my apartment," I said. "On my sofa. It was an exciting night, but not that exciting. I'd really hope you'd remember if it had been." | gabriel olivia sex-joke sleepover | Kelley Armstrong | |
| c35ceee | Night was her time. The Keeper. Bond-mate of the cat. Protector of the night. Daughter of the moon. | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 439e6a9 | Got something!" one of the men yelled. "Is it Mike?" another called, rushing from our sides. As everyone converged on the scene, Nick's voice rang out, choked with barely contained laughter. "Forget it. It's--uh--nothing important." "What the hell do you mean?" the first man said. "Maybe this is all a joke to you, son, but. . ." The rest of the sentence trailed off as we burst into the clearing to find one of the searchers bending over a ri.. | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 8af045f | And the bad guys love to pick on the defenseless necromancer. This time, though, I swear I won't get kidnapped or possessed. ~Jaime Vegas | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| dedaeba | Headache, hmm?" His expression went serious. "Do you know what's the best cure for that?" "What?" "Orgasm." He said it so matter-of-factly I had to sputter a laugh. "Multiple, if possible," he continued. "It's a proven medical fact that one physiologic event, like orgasm, can cancel out the effects of another physiological process, such as a headache." His expression was perfectly serious, but I said, "You're full of shit." "Perhaps. If so,.. | jamie-vegas jeremy orgasm | Kelley Armstrong | |
| 1b83444 | Curiosity is what lets a young mind grow and keeps an old mind young. | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| de03005 | I love you. I'm not sure if it's the way you want me to. I think it might be. But I know that I love you. I absolutely love you. | maya-delaney thought-s-on-love | Kelley Armstrong | |
| 56d874d | Demons are a very human creation. You look for ways to explain evil, and instead of seeing it in yourselves, you offload the responsibility onto monsters. The monstrous exists in the mirror, not in the sulfurous depths of some fantasy world. | monstrous | Kelley Armstrong | |
| ef23693 | We got out. I glanced at Daniel. He sighed. "Go on." "You sound like you're giving a five-year old permission to play with an unsuitable friend." "If the shoe fits..." I flipped off. "Watch it or I won't marry you," he said. "Truck or no truck." I laughed and jogged over to Rafe. "Did he just say..." Rafe began. "Yes. And don't ask" | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 6e8a22b | The tune was wailing and mournful, almost flagrantly so, and the total effect was of a heartbroken piccolo being parted forever from its bagpipe lover. | humor music | Peter S. Beagle | |
| d781a8e | Why did they go away, do you think? If there ever were such things." "Who knows? Times change. Would you call this age a good one for unicorns?" "No, but I wonder if any man before us ever thought his time a good time for unicorns." | changes time unicorn | Peter S. Beagle | |
| a8e4886 | I will miss it so," she said beside him. "This hell of a place, I will miss it so much. This fat body, walking mud puddle, deceived by everything, this impossible, ruinous accident of a world, these people who would truly rather hurt one another than eat--oh, there is nothing, nothing, nothing I would not do to stay here ten minutes longer. Oh, I will leave claw marks, I will drag mountains and forests away under my fingernails when I am dr.. | Peter S. Beagle | ||
| dd8448c | The great thing about refusing to feel feelings is that, once you've denied them, you don't have to take responsibility for them. Your feelings will be someone else's problem - your mother's problem, your girlfriend's problem, your wife's problem. If it has to come out at all, let it come out as anger. You're allowed to be angry. It's boyish and man-like to be angry. | Robert Webb | ||
| 9551984 | No me atreveria a decir que te equivocas, aunque tampoco podria darte la razon. | novela-negra | Jim Thompson | |
| 9e3f035 | In life you hoped to do what you could but mostly you did what you were told and that was the end of it. | life wants | Iain M. Banks | |
| 7bad0ec | I bit a pillow. Or two. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| f04bc41 | The clouds I can handle, but I can't fight with an eclipse. | eclipse jacob-black stephenie-meyer | Stephenie Meyer | |
| d316d84 | I could really appreciate him now - could properly see every beautiful line of his perfect face, of his long, flawless body with my strong new eyes, every angle and every plane of him. I could taste his pure, vivid scent on my tongue and feel the unbelievable silkiness of his marble skin under my sensitive fingertips. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| fd61098 | Dazed and disoriented, I looked up from the bright red blood pulsing out of my arm--into the fevered eyes of the six suddenly ravenous vampires. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| db433ad | No one could be still like Edward. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| de03ee8 | The irresponsible mother helped explain bella's maturity. She'd had to grow up early, to become the caretaker. That's why she didn't like being cared for- she felt it was her job. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| ff6ad8f | Alice was scrutinizing my boring jeans-and-a-T-shirt outfit in a way that made me self-conscious. Probably plotting another makeover. I sighed. My indifferent attitude to fashion was a constant thorn in her side. If I'd allow it, she'd love to dress me everyday--perhaps several times a day--like some oversized three-dimensional paper doll. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 28479f1 | For some reason, my temper was hardwired to my tear ducts. I usually cried when I was angry, a humiliating tendency. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 5e8a774 | I don't like to lie - so there'd better be a good reason why I'm doing it. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| ab01267 | Alice: "I'll play you for it. Rock, paper, scissors." Edward: "Why don't you just tell me who wins?" Alice: "I do. Excellent." | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 5fc00bf | He wished he hadn't pulled me from the path of Tyler's van - there was no other conclusion I could come to. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 1d02bf6 | I hope you end up caring about Bree as much as I do, though that's kind of a cruel wish. You know this: it doesn't end well for her. But at least you will know the whole story. And that no perspective is every really trivial. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 983f7d6 | It felt almost rude to ignore toe pretty white bed, but we just weren't going to make it that far. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| e4fe1a0 | Of course, I still saw Edward at school, because there wasn't anything Charlie [her dad] could do about that. And then, Edward spent almost every night in my room, too, but Charlie wasn't precisely aware of that. Edward's ability to climb easily and silently through my second-story window was almost as useful as his ability to read Charlie's mind. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 8dce173 | Maybe, if I were very, very, lucky, I would somehow be able to save Edward. But I wasn't so stupid as to think that saving him would mean that I could stay with him. I was no different, no more special than I'd been before. There would be no new reason for him to want me now. Seeing him and losing him again . . . I fought back against the pain. This was the price I had to pay to save his life. I would pay it. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| d641fbd | My dad mumbled something unintelligible. "Woo!" Emmett suddenly boomed in his deep bass. "Go Gators!" Jacob and Charlie jumped. The rest of us froze. Charlie recovered, then looked at Emmett over his shoulder. "Florida winning?" "Just scored the first touchdown," Emmett confirmed. He shot a look in my direction, wagging his eyebrows like a villain in vaudeville. "'Bout time somebody scored around here." | charlie emmett humor | Stephenie Meyer | |
| a060bd8 | Funny how it kept hitting me, like each new thing was a surprise. When was I going to stop being surprised? | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| b82016a | I didn't want to be the monster! I didn't want to kill this room full of harmless children! I didn't want to lose everything I'd gained in a lifetime of sacrifice and denial! | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| c9530c4 | Our relationship couldn't continue to balance, as it did, on the point of a knife. We would fall off one edge or the other, depending entirely upon his decision, or his instincts. My decision was made, made before I'd ever consciously chosen, and I was committed to seeing it through. Because there was nothing more terrifying to me, more excruciating, than the thought of turning away from him. It was an impossibility. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 08b1422 | I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 976d27f | Now you know. No one's ever loved anyone as much as I love you. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 855c913 | Love didn't work that way, I decided. Once you cared about a person, it was impossible to be logical about them anymore. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 8ac226c | Buckets,' said Cimorene. 'Lots of buckets, and soap, and lemon juice. Where do you keep your buckets, Mendanbar?' 'Around somewhere,' Mendanbar said vaguely. | humor mendanbar | Patricia C. Wrede | |
| 3ef0e59 | He wasn't a medical doctor, just educated all the way up as far as you can get. | Patricia C. Wrede | ||

| aa235bd | Cecy, I do think it is unfair. People in novels are fainting all the time, and I never can, no matter how badly I need to. | novels | Patricia C. Wrede |
