| 6e2a338 | I thought if you wore that, no matter what face you saw every morning in the mirror," he said in his deep voice, "you'll never forget who you really are." My eyes filling with tear, I held my hand out across the tabletop. He grasped my fingers, his grip strong and reassuring. "As if I ever could," I said, my voice clogged with emotion, "with you around to remind me." | sweet | Meg Cabot | |

| 86876cb | Is everything all right? Is everything all right? Hmm, hold on a minute, let me see . . . my mom is going out with my Algebra teacher, a subject I'm flunking, by the way; my best friend hates me; I'm fourteen years old and I've never been asked out; I don't have any breasts; and oh, I just found out I'm the princess of Genovia. | humor mia-thermopolis | Meg Cabot | |
| 7e83f25 | But who wants to hang aroundfrat guys ? I want to be with guys who have more on their minds than where the next keg party is. I want to be with guys who care about making this world a better place--the way Andrew does. I want to be with guys who know that what's important isn't the size of a girl's waistband but the size of her heart--like Andrew. I want to be with guys who are able to see past a girl's outward appearance, and into her soul.. | Meg Cabot | ||

| c2664df | So I guess I shouldn't have been surprised when I was applying for campus housing and overheard Andy telling my mother that the only way I was going to be safe from all the sexual assaults he'd heard about on National Public Radio was if I lived in an all-girl dorm. Never mind that I have been kicking the butts of the undead since I was in elementary school, and that almost the entire time I resided under Andy's roof, I had a hot undead guy.. | jesse-de-silva proposal susannah-simon suze-simon the-mediator | Meg Cabot | |
| c271e94 | Okay, let me state right now that I am not a coward. I'm really not. But I'm not a fool, either. I think if you recognize that you are up against a force greater than your own, it is perfectly okay to run. It's not okay to leave others behind, though. | suze-simon the-mediator | Meg Cabot | |

| fedbcd4 | Beneath it was a photo of me-my most recent school photo. "Oh, no." My heart filling with dread, I took the paper from Mr. Smith's hands. "Couldn't they have found a better picture?" Mr. Smith looked at me sharply. "Miss Oliviera," he said, his gray eyebrows lowered. "I realize it's all the rage with you young people today to toss off flippant one-liners so you can get your own reality television shows. But I highly doubt MTV will be coming.. | Meg Cabot | ||
| db6e972 | In the meantime, there are all books..." I'd seen his books. Almost all of them had been written before his birth, which had been more than a century and a half before mine. Many of them were books of love poems. He'd tried to read to me from one of them the night before, in order to cheer me up. It hadn't worked. I thought it more polite to say "Thank you, John," than "Do you have any books that aren't about love? And young couples expre.. | Meg Cabot | ||

| ff19237 | It kind of freaked me out. Because I don't know if I'm ready for that kind of thing yet." Or maybe the problem was that I wasn't prepared for ready I was... "Ready for-?" He broke off, and then frowned as if it had all become clear. "Wait." He dropped his arms from around my waist and took a step away from me. "You think I spent the night wit you?" "Didn't you?" I blinked back at him. "There's only the one bed. And...well, you were in it .. | Meg Cabot | ||
| 50a524d | We can take as slowly as you want, but you know it's too late now to change your mind, Pierce," he said, in a warning tone. "Of course," I said. I could see I had approached this all wrong. Where, when you actually needed one, was one of those annoying women's magazines with advice on how to handle your man? Although that advice probably didn't apply to death deities. "Because the Furies are after me. And I promised you that I wouldn't tr.. | Meg Cabot | ||
| ac70d88 | Why not?" I asked, letting my tears spill over. It was easy to cry. All I had to do was look at Alex's limp body, and the tears came effortlessly. "You were happy enough to do it to me." There was a beat. Then John said cautiously, "What do you mean?" "The , John?" I let out a bitter laugh. "Persephone wasn't doomed to stay in the Underworld because she ate a pomegranate.

| 0646366 | The people who are your friends before you got the crown are the people who are going to be your best friends no matter what. Because they are the ones who love you for you-in all your geekiness- and not because of what they can get out of you. Weirdly, in some instances, even the people who were your enemies before you got famous can end up being better friends to you become friends with after you become famous. And even when those friends.. | mia the-princess-diaries | Meg Cabot | |

Fragments that can be retrieved, amplified... | William Gibson | ||

| dc195fe | He HAD seen the world. It had been scary at times, but also exhilarating.

And when you stayed home, where it was safe, those parts of yourself also stayed hidden. | Elise Broach | ||

| 3187b89 | Things wabi-sabi have no need for the reassurance of status or the validation of market culture. They have no need for documentation of provenance. Wabi-sabi-ness in no way depends on knowledge of the creator's background or personality. In fact, it is best if the creator is no distinction, invisible, or anonymous. | creativity wabi-sabi | Leonard Koren | |
