| e2e681a | People's clothes ought to be buried with them. | Dodie Smith | ||
| 9162f57 | So much of me longs to run after him and cry, 'Yes, yes, yes!' A few hours ago, when I wrote I could never mean anything to him, such a chance would have seemed heaven on earth. And surely I could give him - a sort of contentment? That isn't enough to give. Not for the giver. | Dodie Smith | ||
| c1329ba | Simon: You always were wise beyond your years. Cassandra: No I wasn't. I used to be consciously naive. | Dodie Smith | ||
| 7b4b3f0 | Now, paper and pencils," said Miss Marcy, clapping her hands. Writing paper is scarce in this house, and I had no intention of tearing sheets out of this exercise book, which is a superb sixpenny one the Vicar gave me. In the end, Miss Marcy took the middle pages out of her library record, which gave us a pleasant feeling that we were stealing from the government, and then we sat round the table and elected her chairman." | humor | Dodie Smith | |
| 21e0e7d | Did you think of anything when Miss Marcy said Scoatney Hall was being re-opened? I thought of the beginning of Pride and Prejudice - where Mrs. Bennet says 'Netherfield Park is let a last.' And then Mr. Bennet goes over to call on the rich new owner. | literature pride-and-prejudice | Dodie Smith | |
| 67c9a3d | Your pain and anger will pass, but the guilt would remain with you for always. | Dodie Smith | ||
| 4c19a95 | Down in the valley, leaves fall from trees, the branches are bare. All the flowers have faded, their blossoms once so beautiful. The frost attacks many herbs and kills them. I grieve. But if the winter is so cold, there must be new joys. Help me sing a joy of a hundred thousand times greater than the buds of May. I will sing of roses on the red cheeks of my lady. Could I win her favor, this lovely lady would give me such joy I would need no.. | Kinley MacGregor | ||
| 883afe9 | 1 Somewhere, out at the edges, the night Is turning and the waves of darkness Begin to brighten the shore of dawn The heavy dark falls back to earth And the freed air goes wild with light, The heart fills with fresh, bright breath And thoughts stir to give birth to color. 2 I arise today In the name of Silence Womb of the Word, In the name of Stillness Home of Belonging, In the name of the Solitude Of the Soul and the Earth. I arise today B.. | John O'Donohue | ||
| b7ef0ea | One of the reasons so many people are suffering from stress is not that they are doing stressful things but that they allow so little time for silence. | John O'Donohue | ||
| 8563f2f | When you really love someone, you shine the light of your soul on the beloved. We know from nature that sunlight brings everything to growth. If you look at flowers early on a spring morning, they are all closed. When the light of the sun catches them, they trustingly open out and give themselves to the new light. | John O'Donohue | ||
| 8261fd3 | All the animals and creatures of this earth are our former brothers and sisters but because we believe that we have "dominion" over them, we have become cruel little emperors." | John O'Donohue | ||
| 73c6348 | FOR SUFFERING May you be blessed in the holy names of those Who, without you knowing it, Help to carry and lighten your pain. May you know serenity When you are called To enter the house of suffering. May a window of light always surprise you. May you be granted the wisdom To avoid false resistance; When suffering knocks on the door of your life, May you glimpse its eventual gifts. May you be able to receive the fruits of suffering. May mem.. | John O'Donohue | ||
| 4592830 | I reclaimed his lips and hooked a leg around his as we moved in rhythm with each other. In between frantic kisses, i whispered the words, "I love you". Because i did. Noah listened to me. He made me laugh and he made me feel special. He was strong and warm and caring and...everything. I loved him. I loved him more than i'd ever loved another person in my life." | Katie McGarry | ||
| fdeea3d | Do you think people can change?" I ask Rick "Yes." he answers plainly. "There are those who can." That grabs my attention. "So you believe it's possible?" "Miss Stella."He gives me his teacher-to-pupil stare. "Its boils down to choice." | choice possible | Katie McGarry | |
| d6b25b2 | She relaxed, fitting perfectly into my body. In the crisp, cold February air, we swayed together, moving to our own personal beat. For one moment, we escaped hell. No teachers, no therapist, no well-meaning friends, no nightmares-just the two of us, dancing. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 2b4509a | The world is made of multiple pieces.All of them moving alongside each other,sometimes never touching.Coexisting,yet not.How many of us live our entire lives inside a single bubble? Maneuvering in what we believe is a forward direction when it's only in a circle among the same type of people. | Katie McGarry | ||
| bae9634 | Once upon a time, my world revolved around you. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 0028308 | All of us prayed for normal. But so far, normal only meant more misery. | Katie McGarry | ||
| f2aece9 | Throughout the movie, we moved to eat popcorn, shifted to get comfortable, only to end up uncomfortable; an awkward dance of keeping my hands and parts from familiar and unfamiliar areas of Echo's divine body. I was capable of being a gentleman for the length of one movie, at least. The credits roled and my left hand, which I'd placed behind my head to avoid her tempting tummy, tingled with numbness. My patience finaly snapped. "This is rid.. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 0fa074d | Sleep, Echo. I'm right here and i swear i'll never let anyone hurt you again. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 0a04bdb | The question isn't what I would have done. The question is what do you want to do? | Katie McGarry | ||
| a73a017 | This girl owned my soul and stole my heart. She'd opened her self to me, giving me love and never asked anything in return. I deepened our kiss, the words i love you stuck in my mind. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 3be0a65 | I met you soon after and i could never think of touching anyone else. | Katie McGarry | ||
| c7ad453 | I rubbed my hand over my face before glancing at Echo. A hint of her cleavage peeked from her shirt. Damn, she was sexy as hell. I wanted her, badly. Would one night be enough, even if she gave it to me? Echo already felt like a heavy drug. The kind I avoided on purpose--crack, heroin, meth. The ones that screwed with your mind, crept into your blood and left you powerless, helpless. If she gave her body to me, would i be able to let go or .. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 1f77b79 | Her nails tickled my chest, driving me insane. Kissing her became my single reason for breathing. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 0a796a9 | I moaned and he moaned and my mind and soul and body stood on the edge of pure ecstasy. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 79b161d | My arms and legs were wrapped like tentacles around Echo, my nymph who lay sleeping with her back against me. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 4dd615f | I held on to his warm hand simply because i wanted to. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 11f404a | You can live life to please everyone or please yourself. | Katie McGarry | ||
| e6af670 | We all started off this way - small little bundles of joy. Me, Aires, Noah, Lila, Isaiah and even Beth. At some point, someone held us and loved us, but somewhere along the way, it all got screwed up. | life love | Katie McGarry | |
| 0f2ec64 | I did. I understood all too well, as much as I hated it. This was why we ignored each other. When she walked away the first time, my damn heart ruptured and I swore I'd never let it happen again. Like an idiot, here I was setting off explosives. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 5faedc3 | I rested my forehead against hers. "I want you to be happy." "You, too," she whispered." | Katie McGarry | ||
| 5faf338 | I'd spent countless hours on the couch in the basement, staring at the ceiling wondering what she was doing. Her laughter, her smile, the feel of her body next to mine, and the regret that I let her walk away too easily haunted me. Taking the risk, I entwined my fingers with hers. Odds were I'd never get the chance to be this close again. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 267088f | My damned little siren laughed at me. "I see your language has improved." Poof--like magic, the anger disappeared." | Katie McGarry | ||
| becc919 | I'm right and wrong, moral and immoral, good and bad, a hero and a villain, and I've been just as capable of truth as I have been lies. | bad chasing-impossible good good-and-bad hero hero-and-villain immoral katie-mcgarry lies moral moral-and-immoral pushing-the-limits right right-and-wrong truth truth-and-lies villain wrong | Katie McGarry | |
| f62c5b4 | The moment Aires' car rumbled beneath me, I'd known that I needed Noah in my life. Aires' death had left a gaping hole in my heart. I thought all I needed was that car to run. Wrong. A car would never fill the emptiness, but love could. | Katie McGarry | ||
| d6e7f18 | I hope your future includes me. I mean, someone has to continue to kick your butt in pool." Noah laughed as he snagged his fingers around my belt loops and dragged me closer. "I was letting you win." "Please." His eyes had about fallen out of his head when I'd sunk a couple of balls off the break. "You were losing. Badly." I wondered if he also reveled in the warmth of being this close again. "Then I guess I'll have to keep you around. F.. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 6dab10c | Her sweet smell drove my body higher as I nibbled on the edge of her earlobe. "I'm not stopping you. You plan. I'll kiss." | Katie McGarry | ||
| c0efb98 | Ashley waddled back into the room and dropped into the seat next to me. "What did i miss?" I'd honestly forgotten she existed. Oh, if only dad would, too." | Katie McGarry | ||
| af0ba7c | Craving more of her touch, i shifted on the floor so my arm touched her shoulder. Echo's lips never moved, but my siren sang nonetheless. Her song seared my skin and my nose burned from her sugar and cinnamon scent. | Katie McGarry | ||
| e68bd81 | Isaiah runs his hand through my hair, and every cell in my body vibrates with the gentle pull. It's hard to breathe. Isaiah doesn't wait for my answer. Instead his lips meet mine and his arms wrap around my body. All the hesitancy I felt the first night we kissed evaporates like mist on the heels of a summer storm. Within seconds, our mouths open, and Isaiah slips his tongue against mine. I get lost, liking the way my body curves around h.. | isaiah kiss rachel-young | Katie McGarry | |
| 53d2f5c | She looks happy to me when she's beside you." I laugh bitterly. "She looked real happy when she left." "She looked hurt. Hurt means she cares. It's indifference that should scare you. The same look foster parents give you when you come and go." | Katie McGarry | ||
| 04b43cc | Our fears are what stifle us and we're only scared of what we don't understand. | Katie McGarry | ||
| 380e107 | I've finally found what I've been searching for...a family. | Katie McGarry |
