| 9b960b9 | Dead men are heavier than broken hearts. | noir | Raymond Chandler | |
| 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.. | lds way-to-be | Thomas S. Monson | |
| 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. | euphemisms humor max maximum-ride maxride | James Patterson | |
| e924c81 | It is far better to endure patiently a smart which nobody feels but yourself, than to commit a hasty action whose evil consequences will extend to all connected with you. | love patience | Charlotte Brontë | |

| c3eaba1 | A first child is your own best foot forward, and how you do cheer those little feet as they strike out. You examine every turn of flesh for precocity, and crow it to the world. But the last one: the baby who trails her scent like a flag of surrender through your life when there will be no more coming after--oh, that' s love by a different name. | children love motherhood | Barbara Kingsolver | |

| 1b59894 | In the world we live in, what we and what we are like Siamese twins, inseparable, existing in a state of confusion. | Haruki Murakami | ||
| f56ed0f | The point is, not to resist the flow. You go up when you're supposed to go up and down when you're supposed to go down. When you're supposed to go up, find the highest tower and climb to the top. When you're supposed to go down, find the deepest well and go down to the bottom. When there's no flow, stay still. If you resist the flow, everything dries up. If everything dries up, the world is darkness. | Haruki Murakami | ||
| eef1ede | I wasn't in love with her. And she didn't love me. For me the question of love was irrelevant. What I sought was the sense of being tossed about by some raging, savage force, in the midst of which lay something absolutely crucial. I had no idea what that was. But I wanted to thrust my hand right inside her body and touch it, whatever it was. | sex | Haruki Murakami | |
| 6807784 | She knew that he loved her above all else, more than anything in the world, but only for his own sake. | Gabriel García Márquez | ||
| b413d3d | When angels go bad they are worse than anyone else. Remember Lucifer used to be an angel. | Neil Gaiman | ||
| b7827fc | I am a greaser. I am a JD and a hood. I blacken the name of our fair city. I beat up people. I rob gas stations. I am a menace to society. Man do I have fun! | S.E. Hinton | ||

| 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. | fault in our stars | 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 | |
| 7657165 | It's not often real that you encounter the real person behind a good-natured mask, the darkest part of someone. It's not comfortable what you do. | divergent insurgent tris | Veronica Roth | |
| 642c1b9 | Evil depends on where you're standing. | Veronica Roth | ||
| 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. But now I know I am like the blade and he is like the whetstone-- I am too strong to break so easily, and I become better, sharper, every time I touch him. | Veronica Roth | ||
| f08ad38 | We should go straight west. The prophecy said west." "Oh, like your tracking skills are better?" Thalia growled. Zoe stepped toward her. "You challenge my skills, you scullion? You know of being a Hunter!" "Oh, . You're calling a scullion? What the heck is a scullion?" | zoe-nightshade | Rick Riordan | |
| 5ac7327 | 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." -- | percy-jackson persephone | Rick Riordan | |
| 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.. | inspirational spiritual | Sakyong Mipham Rinpoche | |

| 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 | ||

| b465631 | I'm like everyone else in this stupid, bloody, amazing world. I'm flawed. Impossibly so. But hopeful. I'm still me. | Libba Bray | ||
| 5a2c917 | I received the fundamentals of my education in school, but that was not enough. My real education, the superstructure, the details, the true architecture, I got out of the public library. For an impoverished child whose family could not afford to buy books, the library was the open door to wonder and achievement, and I can never be sufficiently grateful that I had the wit to charge through that door and make the most of it. Now, when I read.. | library | Isaac Asimov | |
