| 450cafc | So bitter is it, death is little more; | Dante Alighieri | ||
| 326c91b | your soul has been assailed by cowardice, which often weighs so heavily on a man-- distracting him from honorable trials-- as phantoms frighten beasts when shadows fall. | encouragement-quotes inferno | Dante Alighieri | |
| 1ec3f15 | He was distracted at that moment by a black lace bra that was reclining provocatively but somewhat casually on top of the dryer. He gazed at it and realized that the number and cup size that popped into his head the night he'd taken her to Harbour Sixty for dinner were absolutely correct. Gabriel silently congratulated himself. | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| 169f793 | Like they'd never seen a hot professor before. You made quite an impression in your turtleneck." "Ah, yes, the turtleneck. Turtles have that effect on people." | humor julianne-emerson | Sylvain Reynard | |
| e5b9df8 | Now that we know that Spring Roll is a girl, we should probably think about setting up her room. Gabriel kept his eyes on the road as he drove the Volvo one Saturday morning in May. We should also talk about names. That sounds good. Maybe you should think about what you want and we can go shopping. Julia turned to look at him. Now? I said I'd take you to lunch, and we can do that. But afterward, we need to start thinking about Spring Roll's.. | Sylvain Reynard | ||

| 73ca4e5 | If ever he had a moment's doubt that he would love and admire her forever, no matter whether she chose him or not, that doubt faded away like a wisp of smoke. | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| 1d5face | Entonces, ?por que eliges este momento para creer que te quiero? --Porque estabas dispuesto a dejarme salir de tu vida si yo elegia a otra persona. Dos gruesas lagrimas rodaron por sus mejillas y Gabriel las detuvo con los dedos. --Eso es lo que pasa cuando quieres a alguien. Quieres que ese alguien sea feliz. | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| f24289f | Love creates; it doesn't destroy. | Sylvain Reynard | ||

| ca1fb09 | Put another way, I love all of you dog lovers, but I have to spoil your fun a little with a fundamental truth. There is, in an important evolutionary sense, no such thing as a specific breed of dog. If a Great Dane has sex with a dachshund, you get a dog. If a Standard Poodle has sex with a Jack Russell terrier, you get a dog. If a mutt has sex with a so-called purebred, you get a dog. | Bill Nye | ||
| 295f9e9 | If the argument is, "Well, that was all part of the plan," then I have to ask: How can you take the lack of evidence of a plan as evidence of a plan? That makes no sense." | Bill Nye | ||

| 8a5f417 | Yours is a race whose imagination is limited to its own small appetites. Greed, lust, envy - these are the motivating forces of humankind. What redeems you is that in every man and woman there is a seed that can grow to encompass love, joy and compassion. But this seed is never allowed to prosper in fertile ground. It struggles for life among the rocks of your human soul. | good humanity love motivation | David Gemmell | |
| 28707d6 | Our lives are spent sailing in the mist, hoping for a burst of sunlight that can make sense of who we are. | David Gemmell | ||
| 884e1d2 | Like light and shadow, love and hate were inseparable. One could not exist without the other. | love | David Gemmell | |
| 9bd444b | I am aware these little books don't last long even if they are a success. | peter-rabbit | Beatrix Potter | |
| 49375e2 | All of us are creatures of a day; the rememberer and the remembered alike. All is ephemeral--both memory and the object of memory. The time is at hand when you will have forgotten everything; and the time is at hand when all will have forgotten you. Always reflect that soon you will be no one, and nowhere. | Irvin D. Yalom | ||
| 0e55845 | Our reality is influenced by our notions about reality, regardless of the nature of those notions | Joseph Chilton Pearce | ||
| 890d3f6 | If the empire had been afflicted by any recent calamity, by a plague, a famine, or an unsuccessful war; if the Tiber had, or if the Nile had not, risen beyond its banks; if the earth had shaken, or if the temperate order of the seasons had been interrupted, the superstitious Pagans were convinced that the crimes and the impiety of the Christians, who were spared by the excessive lenity of the government, had at length provoked the divine ju.. | Edward Gibbon | ||

| 13ba13c | Perhaps Germany will serve as a warning," said Arvid. "May they learn from us to snuff out fascism in America when the first sparks arise and not delay until democracy goes up in flames all around them." "This could never happen in America. A nation that elected Franklin Delano Roosevelt would never elect a madman populist." | Jennifer Chiaverini | ||
| 3e42562 | I had not said anything about what had happened the day before--about being scared down to my very bones when I thought they had left me. I don't know what came over me. Ever since my mother left us that April day, I suspected that everyone was going to leave, one by one. | change fear lonliness | Sharon Creech | |
| df14ff6 | Can I just say that dying sucks? All that bullshit about seeing the light and having this inner peace, blah, blah, blah. It's crap. | Julie Kenner | ||
| 3be7f27 | I have no beliefs," said her mother. "Only hopes." | Caroline B. Cooney | ||
| 0135fe2 | Psychotherapy is a demanding vocation, and the successful therapist must be able to tolerate the isolation, anxiety, and frustration that are inevitable in the work. | Irvin D. Yalom | ||

| 8fa2b54 | Why were the other kids doing better than me? Because they were better, that's why That's what I knew every time I sat down online or got on the subway to Aaron's house. Other people weren't smoking or jerking off, and those that were were gifted-able to live and compete at the same time. I wasn't gifted. Mom was wrong. I was just smart and I worked hard. I had fooled myself into thinking that was something important to the rest of the worl.. | Ned Vizzini | ||
| 5343c23 | It's a talent I've developed-one thing I've learned recently. How to think nothing. Here's the trick: don't have any interest in the world around you, don't have any hope for the future, and be warm | Ned Vizzini | ||
| 8735e32 | I lie there thinking about how everything I've done is a failure, death and failure, and there's no hope for me except being homeless, because I'm never going to be able to hold a job because everyone else is so much smarter. | Ned Vizzini | ||
| c6dc90d | Sometimes we call those girls sluts. Do you think she had a boyfriend when she was eight? | Ned Vizzini | ||

| d595295 | You want to write a book? Make a song? Direct a movie? Decorate pottery? Learn a dance? Explore a new land? You want to draw a penis on your wall? Do it. Who cares? It's your birthright as a human being, so do it with a cheerful heart. (I mean, take it seriously, sure--but don't take it seriously.) Let inspiration lead you wherever it wants to lead you. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| dce6597 | I tried so hard to fight the endless sobbing. I remember asking myself one night, while I was curled up in the same old corner of my same old couch in tears yet again over the same old repetition of sorrowful thoughts, "Is there anything about this scene you can change, Liz?" And all I could think to do was stand up, while still sobbing, and try to balance on one foot in the middle of my living room. Just to prove that - while I couldn't st.. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||

| 9e8e275 | the patron god of children born on Thursdays is Shiva the Destroyer, and that the day has two guiding animal spirits--the lion and the tiger. The official tree of children born on Thursday is the banyan. The official bird is the peacock. A person born on Thursday is always talking first, interrupting everyone else, can be a little aggressive, tends to be handsome ("a playboy or playgirl," in Ketut's words) but has a decent overall character.. | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||

| 73248f9 | The little fishing boat anchors right off the shore of Gili Meno. There are no docks here on this island. You have to roll up your pants, jump off the boat and wade in through the surf on your own power. There's absolutely no way to do this without getting soaking wet or even banged up on the coral, but it's worth all the trouble because the beach here is so beautiful, so special | Elizabeth Gilbert | ||
| 831e8d1 | My hypersensitive awareness of time's speed led me to push myself to experience life at a maximum pace. If I were going to have such a short visit on earth, I had to do everything possible to experience it now. | Elizabeth Gilbert |
