| 35db359 | At sunrise, everything is luminous but not clear | clear light luminous sun sunrise | Norman Maclean | |
| b6f48f0 | Luna was remote and ladylike. The only time anyone had ever seen Luna angry was when someone referred to her as 'African-American'. "I'm an American," she had snapped, whirling on the offender. "I've never even been to Africa. I was born in California, my father was a major in the Marine Corps, and I'm not a hyphenated anything. I have a black heritage, but I also have a white one." She had held out one slim arm and studied the color of it... | Linda Howard | ||
| 6f309ca | Don't you want it?" "Want what?" "The engagement ring." "Oh, is that what's in the box? You threw my engagement ring at me?" Boy, this was such a big transgression I would have to write it in block letters on its own page, and show it to our children when they grew up as an example of how not to do something." | Linda Howard | ||
| 3b3260d | I have a rule: Walk out, crawl back. If a man does the first, then he has to do the second to get back on good terms with me. | Linda Howard | ||
| a294f7f | Before you know it, you'll be smiling at her across the breakfast table." "I don't smile," Cahill said, though he was having to fight his amusement. "So you'll be scowling at her across the breakfast table. That isn't my point." | linda-howard | Linda Howard | |
| 8146a8c | Man African societies divide humans into 3 categories: those still alive on the earth, the sasha, and the zamani. The recently departed whose time on earth overlapped with people still here are the sasha, the living-dead. They are not wholly dead, for they still live in the memories of the living, who can call them to mind, create their likeness in art, and bring them to life in anecdote. When the last person to know an ancestor dies, that .. | Kevin Brockmeier | ||
| 1861075 | The state of our civilization manifests itself both in the non-problems that terrify us beyond all reason - rising sea levels - and in the real problems we pay no heed to [population decline]...In reality, much of the planet will be uninhabited long before it's uninhabitable | Mark Steyn | ||
| 30876d0 | There may be many things wrong with the United States but only a blind fool who hasn't been paying attention for the last twenty years would hold up Europe as the alternative. | Mark Steyn | ||
| 0b67908 | You simply cannot pay the debts that come along with believing you are unworthy. | Iyanla Vanzant | ||
| 8089332 | Where the Sidewalk Ends Shel Silverstein There is a place where the sidewalk ends And before the street begins, And there the grass grows soft and white, And there the sun burns crimson bright, And there the moon-bird rests from his flight To cool in the peppermint wind. Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black And the dark street winds and bends. Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow We shall walk with a walk that is meas.. | Shel Silverstein | ||
| dfddad2 | If we were a rock 'n' roll band, We'd travel all over the land. We'd play and we'd sing and wear spangly things, If we were a rock 'n' roll band. If we were a rock 'n' roll band, And we were up there on the stand, The people would hear us and love us and cheer us, Hurray for that rock 'n' roll band. If we were a rock 'n' roll band Then we'd have a million fans. We'd goggle and laugh and sign autographs, If we were a rock 'n' roll band. If w.. | Shel Silverstein | ||
| 1fc624a | Kissing Sinclair was like making out with a sexy timber wolf-- he was licking my fangs and nipping me lightly and growling under his breath and it was...oh, it was really something. | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| 28544ef | You'll pay," she said stonily. "You won't be like this by this time tomorrow." "Bored and pissed off? God, I hope not." | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| 6a63a7a | Leon, no offense, but you don't exactly look like a hockey player." "I told 'em I was a goalie. That's where they put the guy who can't skate, right? Just like in baseball when they put the worst player at catcher." | Steve Hamilton | ||
| 9c86a65 | Edden called the church first," she said by way of greeting, her thin eyebrows high as she spotted Ford's arm linked in mine. "Hi, Ford." The man reddened at the lilt she'd put in her last words, but I wouldn't let him take his arm back. I liked being needed. "He's having trouble with the background emotion," I said. "And he'd rather be abused by yours?" Nice. (Ivy, Rachel and Ford)" | Kim Harrison | ||
| 48d194a | Jenks shook his head. "Rache, I really feel bad for her, but Ivy's right. She can't stay here. She needs professional help." "Really?" I said belligerently, feeling myself warm. "I haven't heard of any group therapy sessions for retired demon familiars, have you?" | Kim Harrison | ||
| 3721b45 | I jerked to a stop at the door to my room. "What's wrong with my boots?" I said, thinking they were the only thing that I was going to keep on. Ah...the only thing from this outfit, not the only thing total." | Kim Harrison | ||
| d1e3537 | Al brought his attention back down from the ceiling. "You really don't want to have sex with him? Why? What's wrong with him?" | Kim Harrison | ||
| 964bdb6 | Witches married outside their species all the time, especially before the Turn. There were perfectly acceptable options: adoption, artificial insemination, borrowing your best friend's boyfriend for a night. Issues of what was morally right and wrong tended not to matter when you found yourself in love with a man you couldn't tell you weren't human. It sort of went with the whole hiding-among-humans-for-the-last-five-thousand-years thing. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 4b2d99b | Together we made our way from the service entrances in back to the front, Jenks shedding clothes and handing them to me to stuff in my bag every few yards. It was terribly distracting, but I managed to avoid running into the Dumpsters and recycling bins. | Kim Harrison | ||
| f7ba392 | Okay, I like him," I admitted. "But it takes more than a nice body, Jenks. Jeez, I do have a little depth. You've got a great body, and you don't see me trying to get into your Fruit of the Looms." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 2ca0716 | Glenn... I wasn't expecting this. He's not after my blood, and we like the same stuff." From the rearview mirror, Jenks snickered. "Guns, violence, crime scene photos, leather, sex, and women. Yeah, I can see that." (Ivy and Jenks)" | Kim Harrison | ||
| 9cd9e1b | In a smooth, unhurried motion, Jenks reached out and slapped him. "Seems to me you should pull the brains out of your ass." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 27b31d7 | Ivy and I will deal with the uncomfortable situation like we always have...by ignoring it. It was something we were both good at. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 455e13c | A devious spark lit through Al, making me smile. One way. It costs too much, he said. "There's no inflation in the ever-after, Al." Call it a recession then. One way." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 78c9c6a | I didn't want to go to jail. Unlike Takata, I looked awful in orange. | Kim Harrison | ||
| e6431fb | Elves apparently had a short childhood. Not like witches, who seemed to take forever to grow up, according to Jenks. | Kim Harrison | ||
| a1d95af | She's not much of a team player, more of a team yeller. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 6243da9 | In a few hours, I'm going to be banished to the surface, my belongings raffled off as novelty items and my living space given to someone else--my reputation destroyed. I'd rather have your head than your soul at this point in my illustrious career." - Al" | Kim Harrison | ||
| c04bcd1 | Apparently their numerous tattoos gave them protection against the cold as they had no coats. | Kim Harrison | ||
| da56f41 | Al pulled me into him, and numb, I felt his arm curve possessively about my waist. "Too late," he whispered, his breath shifting the hair about my ear, and we jumped." | Kim Harrison | ||
| a22fd0f | The small gargoyle had gone entirely white to match the ceiling, and only the rims of his ears, his long clawlike nails, and a thick stripe down his whip-like tail were still gray. He was crawling along the ceiling like a bat, wings held to make sharp angles and claws extended. It just about broke my creepy meter. | Kim Harrison | ||
| a3a5d56 | I have to save the world tomorrow, and I don't even know what I'm going to wear yet. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 4a28314 | You're big enough to bite now, mosquito, so shut up. | Kim Harrison | ||
| f63b5e9 | Rachel, we've been over this. This is what I do," he said, crumbs of whiten cheese falling from the knife. "Find a way for your lofty, unrealistic ideals to deal with it." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 02c5910 | I opine you wouldn't know help if it smacked you in the face. Stubborn, bullheaded, wild fey thing of a woman." - Pierce" | Kim Harrison | ||
| 451b330 | Ku'Sox was indeed a demon. In. The. Sun. I needed answers, but I wanted them from Al, not...Cute Socks here. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 4644ef4 | I didn't kill Francis," I said. "He managed that all by himself. And Lee was dragged off by a demon he summoned. Nick went over a bridge." Mrs. Sarong's smile widened, and she patted my hand again. "Very well done on the last one," she said, glancing at her daughter. "Leaving an old boyfriend to clutter future relationships is investing in trouble." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 3eeec21 | I felt sick. Buying Kisten's and my safety from Piscary was so wrong. But it was either that or deal with a demon, and I'd rather keep my soul clean and let my morals get dingy. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 11c588c | He didn't want Lucy to grow up feeling alone, surrounded by everything and having nothing. | into-the-woods lucy sentimental trent-kalamack | Kim Harrison | |
| 1378789 | And I can't read your mind either, just your face. | Kim Harrison | ||
| b9abc68 | Rache," he said, trying to get into my line of sight. "What more do you need? God to send a telegram?" (Jenks)" | Kim Harrison | ||
| 3b88813 | I thought Trent should get over his pixy paranoia and admit he had an eerie attraction to them, like every other pure-blood elf I'd met. So he liked pixies. I liked double-crunch ice cream, but you didn't see me avoiding it in the grocery store. | Kim Harrison | ||
| c7f0b85 | I pushed him back with a finger. "Your accent stinks. Go away until you get it right." | Kim Harrison |
