| d3eaac2 | Is that gallantry I smell, or just stupidity? The two scents are much alike, as I recall. | gallantry scents stupidity | George R.R. Martin | |
| 32f6124 | The Red Keep was full of cats: lazy old cats dozing in the sun, cold-eyed mousers twitching their tails, quick little kittens with claws like needles, ladies' cats all combed and trusting, ragged shadows prowling the midden heaps. One by one Arya had chased them down and snatched them up and brought them proudly to Syrio Forel ... all but this one, this one-eared black devil of a tomcat. "That's the real king of this castle right there," on.. | George R.R. Martin | ||

| 1bd49cc | I want her, he realized. I want Winterfell, yes, but I want her as well, child or woman or whatever she is. I want to comfort her. I want to hear her laugh. I want her to come to me willingly, bring me her joys and her sorrows and her lust. | George R.R. Martin | ||
| 29efe46 | So the wolfling is leaving his den to play among the lions," he said in a voice of quiet satisfaction." | a-song-of-ice-and-fire tywin-lannister | George R.R. Martin | |
| 62dc08f | There were four of them, Catelyn saw. An old man in the black of the Night's Watch, two servants ... and Tyrion Lannister, standing there small and bold as life. "My men will sleep in your stable, and as for myself, well, I do not require a large room, as you can plainly see." He flashed a mocking grin. "So long as the fire's warm and the straw reasonably free of fleas, I am a happy man." | tyrion-lannister | George R.R. Martin | |

| 25151e9 | Death should hold no fear for a man as old as me, but it does. Isn't that silly? It is always dark where I am, so why should I fear the darkness? Yet I cannot help but wonder what will follow, when the last warmth leaves my body. | George R.R. Martin | ||
| f45fcd9 | Serving men cleared away the swan, hardly touched. Cersei beckoned for the sweets. "I hope you like blackberry tarts." "I love all sorts of tarts." "Oh, I've know that for a long while. Do you know why Varys is so dangerous?" "Are we playing riddles now? No." "He doesn't have a cock." "Neither do you." And don't you just hate that, Cersei? ""Perhaps, I'm dangerous too. You, on the other hand, are as big a fool as every other man. That.. | George R.R. Martin | ||

| 869d947 | The sun will soon be setting, and corpses make poor company by night. These were dark and dangerous men, alive. I doubt that death will have improved them. | George R.R. Martin | ||
| a109d3d | Perhaps we can fly. All of us. How will we ever know unless we leap from some tall tower? No man ever truly knows what he can do unless he dares to leap. | George R.R. Martin | ||
| c954785 | A long time ago, she remembered her father saying that when the cold winds blow the lone wolf dies but the pack survives. He had it all backwards. Arya the lone wolf, still lives, but the wolves of the pack had been taken and slain and skinned. | George R.R. Martin | ||

| 36d34ef | Once a man has seen a dragon in flight, let him stay at home and tend his garden in content, for this wide world has no greater wonder. | George R.R. Martin | ||
| 260a19d | What can you say about pain? Words can trace only the shadow of the thing itself. The reality of hard, sharp physical pain is like nothing else, and it is beyond language. The world is too much with us, day and night, but when we hurt, when we really hurt, the world melts and fades and becomes a ghost, a dim memory, a silly unimportant thing. Whatever ideals, dreams, loves, fears, and thoughts we might have had become ultimately unimportant.. | George R.R. Martin | ||

| fc995e5 | Words are wind, but wind can fan a fire. My father and my uncle fought words with steel and flame. We shall fight words with words, and put out the fires before they start. | fire-and-blood flame steel wind words words-are-dangerous words-are-powerful words-as-weapons words-of-wisdom | George R.R. Martin | |
| 8108c5a | Then the shit hit the fan. | economics | John Kenneth Galbraith | |
| 0d9926f | In many ways the effect of the crash on embezzlement was more significant than on suicide. To the economist embezzlement is the most interesting of crimes. Alone among the various forms of larceny it has a time parameter. Weeks, months, or years may elapse between the commission of the crime and its discovery. (This is a period, incidentally, when the embezzler has his gain and the man who has been embezzled, oddly enough, feels no loss. Th.. | crime embezzlement finance | John Kenneth Galbraith | |
| e54fcf7 | The shortcomings of economics are not original error but uncorrected obsolescence. The obsolescence has occurred because what is convenient has become sacrosanct. Anyone who attacks such ideas must seem to be a trifle self-confident and even aggressive. The man who makes his entry by leaning against an infirm door gets an unjustified reputation for violence. Something is to be attributed to the poor state of the door. | economics obsolete | John Kenneth Galbraith | |

| aceba25 | So I got to witness firsthand how those metal links got broken. The muscles in his upper arms pumped to the size of grapefruits, and the fabric of the T-shirt tightened around them almost to tearing... Then the metal gave way with a musical twang, and the chain snaked noisily from the grate, falling to the rain-softened earth with a clunk. "By all means," John said, brushing his hands together in a self-satisfied way, "let's call Mr. Smith... | Meg Cabot | ||
| ed5afd6 | It's my own fault, really. For believing in fairy tales. Not that I ever mistook them for actual historical fact, or anything. But I did grow up believing that for every girl, there's a prince out there somewhere. All she has to do is find him. Then it's on with the happily ever after. So you can only imagine what happened when I found out. That my prince really IS one. A prince. No, I really mean it. He's an actual PRINCE. | Meg Cabot | ||
| 92a43b8 | Home. Wow. I'm already calling it home. Well, isn't that what any place is? Any place that you share with someone you love, I mean? | Meg Cabot | ||
| 8f79477 | You can't be friends with someone who's in love with you if you don't love that person back the same way... | Meg Cabot | ||
| 1e8c332 | People everywhere pray for a job where they can "work from home," so I guess, going with the gratitude theme, I should be grateful for this opportunity. I wonder how, though, when people get one of these jobs, they keep themselves from spending the entire day going on YouTube and looking at videos about baby deer that have been adopted by golden retrievers. Because that's all I've accomplished today so far." | Meg Cabot | ||
| 77ea5d5 | That's not all they ever show," John said. "They show your heart's desire...what you most want to see-or who-at the time you're looking." "Then mine must be broken," I said. It made sense. Why wouldn't mine be broken? I was broken, too. Or at least I hadn't felt normal in a long time. "Yours isn't broken," John said. "Considering it's a mobile device from earth, and no mobile device from earth has ever functioned in the Underworld before, I.. | Meg Cabot | ||
| 75b557e | No offense, but if you want to be with my niece, you should think about getting a haircut. My mother is very conservative." "No offense taken," John said mildly." | Meg Cabot | ||
| 52a16e7 | My shoulders sagged. Really, is it too much to ask that I be able to come home from a long day of work and relax? Oh, no. I have to come home and read a bunch of letters written to the love of my life by his fiancee, who, if I am correct, had him killed a hundred and fifty years ago. Then, as if that is not bad enough, he wants me to explain the Vietnam War. | Meg Cabot | ||
| 19390e9 | I hate confrontations. It's so much easier to walk away than it is to explain to someone that you never want to see them again. | Meg Cabot |
