| d2dd87b | After a while, when you are as ugly as I am, as ugly as women can be, then, as I say, after a while the feeling, the idiotic feeling that you are beautiful, grows slowly in one again. It grows like a cabbage. And then, when the feeling is grown, another man sees you and thinks you are beautiful and it is all to do over. Now I think I am past it, but it still might come. You are lucky, 'guapa', that you are not ugly | Ernest Hemingway | ||
| a2e8613 | That was morality ; things that made you disgusted afterwards. No, that must be immorality. That was a large statement. What a lot of bilge I could think up at night. What rot ! I could hear Brett say it. What rot ! When you were with the English you got into the habit of using English expressions in your thinking. | Ernest Hemingway | ||

| a612b7a | As I read, however, I applied much personally to my own feelings and condition. I found myself similar, yet at the same time strangely unlike to the beings concerning whom I read, and to whose conversation I was a listener. I sympathized with, and partly understood them, but I was unformed in mind, I was dependent on none, and related to none . . . and there was none to lament my annihilation . . . what did this mean? Who was I? What was I?.. | Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley | ||

| 89dd1eb | And somehow, somewhere along the track, I went numb. I couldn't say what it was & didn't dare try. How do you explain the sense of being made to feel improper ? I withdrew into a watchful rectitude, anxious to please, risking nothing. I followed the outline of my life, carefully rehearsing form without conviction, like a bishop who can't see that his faith has become an act. | Tim Winton | ||

| 654d44c | Ah, but dreams cannot be captured with promises," he said. "Like water, they elude our grasp. But water is the staff of life. I believe your dream will come true if only because you will not compromise on it and let it go too lightly." | Mary Balogh | ||
| 42813be | And so silence and ...darkness hold happiness and joy?" he said softly. "Assuredly," she said, "provided one listens to the silence and gazes deeply into the darkness. Everything is there. Everything." | joy listen silence | Mary Balogh | |
| ceabd07 | Idleness was so often despised. And yet it was on idleness, she knew, that one touched meaning and peace. | Mary Balogh | ||
| 51e4dd9 | Sometimes children do not realize by how fragile a thread their security hangs. Perhaps it is as well they do not - most of them grow up before the thread can be broken. | thread | Mary Balogh | |
| a4804fc | After you married, Crispin, she said, my heart was broken. I will not deny it. But I did not slip into a sort of suspended life that would be forever gray and meaningless if you did not somehow come back to me. I put back the pieces of my heart and kept on living. I am not the woman I was when I was in love with you and expecting to marry you. I am not the woman I was when I heard that you were married. I am the woman I have become in the f.. | love pices years | Mary Balogh | |

Nor do I believe the old saying that the devil's greatest accomplishment was to convince the majority of mankind that he does not exist.

After all, I'm five thousands years old and I've never met Satan. | Christopher Pike | ||
| 1d7a9d5 | You think I don't know what you're doing? This is a typical guy stunt. Protect the helpless female, lead the bad guy away and send her scurrying for help." He put a hand on her cheek.

| c111ea9 | Do you know what the best thing about getting my sight back will be?" he asked softly. "No," she replied, all of the bravado gone from her voice.

Feeling the air shift as she retreated, he clumsily flanked her until their positions were reversed and she was the one backing toward the door. "Some might believe it would be t.. | Teresa Medeiros |
