| 3e1bc66 | So," Simon said. "Looks like you and Derek are getting along again. What happened? Did he give you the look?" "Look?" "You know. The one that makes him look like a whipped puppy, and makes you feel like a jerk for doing the whipping." "Ah, that one. So it works on you, too?" He snorted. "It even works on Dad. We give in, we tell him it's okay, and the next thing you know, he's chewing up slippers again." I laughed." | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 302cf6b | Remember that day I made you the elevator?" he suddenly asks. I give him a faint smile. "How could I forget?" "That was the day I had my first kiss." My smile fades. "I'm better now," He sets the apple beside me. "At kissing, just so you know." -- | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| f67b5f0 | Some kids get called 'bundles of joy' or 'slices of heaven' or 'dreams come true.' We got 'the fifty-fourth generation of DNA experiments.' Doesn't have the same warm and fuzzy feel. But maybe I'm oversensitive. | humor euphemisms maxride maximum-ride max | James Patterson | |

| 93561db | No sense of the irony of human experience, that we are the highest form of life on earth, and yet ineffably sad because we know what no other animal knows, that we must die. | Don DeLillo | ||
| a939d3b | Lieutenant Chatrand: I don't understand this omnipotent-benevolent thing. Camerlengo Carlo Ventresca: You are confused because the Bible describes God as an omnipotent and benevolent deity. Lieutenant Chatrand: Exactly. Camerlengo Carlo Ventresca: Omnipotent-benevolent simply means that God is all-powerful and well-meaning. Lieutenant Chatrand: I understand the concept. It's just... there seems to be a contradiction. Camerlengo Carlo Ventre.. | Dan Brown | ||
| b26260f | Happiness is a gift and the trick is not to expect it, but to delight in it when it comes. | Charles Dickens | ||
| b304f6c | Our opportunities to give of ourselves are indeed limitless, but they are also perishable. There are hearts to gladden. There are kind words to say. There are gifts to be given. There are deeds to be done. There are souls to be saved. As we remember that "when ye are in the service of your fellow beings ye are only in the service of your God," (Mosiah 2:17) we will not find ourselves in the unenviable position of Jacob Marley's ghost, who s.. | way-to-be lds | Thomas S. Monson | |
| 3f2bfbc | It is easy to overlook this thought that life just is. As humans we are inclined to feel that life must have a point. We have plans and aspirations and desires. We want to take constant advantage of the intoxicating existence we've been endowed with. But what's life to a lichen? Yet its impulse to exist, to be , is every bit as strong as ours-arguably even stronger. If I were told that I had to spend decades being a furry growth on a rock i.. | Bill Bryson | ||
| 5a74f20 | I think, even, if I ever die, and they stick me in a cemetery, and I have a tombstone and all, it'll say 'Holden Caulfield' on it, and then what year I was born and what year I died, and then right under that it'll say 'Fuck you.' I'm positive, in fact. | J.D. Salinger | ||
| 773f8d3 | Aelin Galathynius, Queen of Terrasen, knew the time would soon come to prove just how much she'd bleed for Erilea. | Sarah J. Maas | ||

| 85a17f9 | Husband, we talked about this," Persephone chided. "You can't go around incinerating every hero. Besides, he's brave. I like that." Hades rolled his eyes. "You liked that Orpheus fellow too. Look how well that turned out." | persephone percy-jackson | Rick Riordan | |
| 673603e | Could you do a glamour and turn into something smaller?" I asked it. "Preferably not a chain, since it's no longer the 1990s?" The sword didn't reply (duh), but I imagined it was humming at a more interrogative pitch, like, Such as what? "I dunno. Something pocket-size and innocuous. A pen, maybe?" The sword pulsed, almost like it was laughing. I imagined it saying, A pen sword. That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard." -- | Rick Riordan | ||

| c64ab84 | We live in a universe devoted to the creation, and eradication, of awareness. Augustus Waters did not die after a lengthy battle with cancer. He died after a lengthy battle with human consciousness, a victim - as you will be - of the universe's need to make and unmake all that is possible. | stars in our fault | John Green | |
| 81f5d11 | And when the universe has finished exploding all the stars will slow down, like a ball that has been thrown into the air, and they will come to a halt and they will all begin to fall towards the centre of the universe again. And then there will be nothing to stop us seeing all the stars in the world because they will all be moving towards us, gradually faster and faster, and we will know that the world is going to end soon because when we l.. | incorrect | Mark Haddon | |

| c5e0a98 | I was so afraid that we would just keep colliding over and over again if we stayed together, and that eventually the impact would break me.

| f049995 | Many of us are slaves to our minds. Our own mind is our worst enemy. We try to focus, and our mind wanders off. We try to keep stress at bay, but anxiety keeps us awake at night. We try to be good to the people we love, but then we forget them and put ourselves first. And when we want to change our life, we dive into spiritual practice and expect quick results, only to lose focus after the honeymoon has worn off. We return to our state of b.. | spiritual inspirational | Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche | |

| e7c7681 | How could I have been so ignorant? she thinks. So stupid, so unseeing, so given over to carelessness. But without such ignorance, such carelessness, how could we live? If you knew what was going to happen, if you knew everything that was going to happen next--if you knew in advance the consequences of your own actions--you'd be doomed. You'd be as ruined as God. You'd be a stone. You'd never eat or drink or laugh or get out of bed in the mo.. | loneliness sorrow love wisdom ignorance despair insight | Margaret Atwood | |
| 795bc66 | You think I'm not a goddess? Try me. | Margaret Atwood | ||
| 4df9a42 | Wasn't writing a kind of soaring, an achievable form of flight, of fancy, of the imagination? | Ian McEwan | ||
| b29b6e1 | You never know how much you really believe anything until its truth of falsehood becomes a matter of life and death to you. It is easy to say you believe a rope to be strong and sound as long as you are merely using it to cord a box. But suppose you had to hang by that rope over a precipice. Wouldn't you then first discover how much you really trusted it? | confidence trust | C.S. Lewis | |

| 38aebec | I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me. Like the bodiless heads you see sometimes in circus sideshows, it is as though I have been surrounded by mirrors of hard, distorting glass. When they approach me they see only my surroundings, themselves or figments of their imagination, indeed, everything and anything except me. | Ralph Ellison | ||
| 40f0310 | Say you'll marry me when I come back or, before God, I won't go. I'll stay around here and play a guitar under your window every night and sing at the top of my voice and compromise you, so you'll have to marry me to save your reputation. | marriage love proposals rhett-butler | Margaret Mitchell |
