| 47c9fc1 | Do you know why you"ve found me half-naked? Do you know what this is?" I don"t know, sir. What is this?" "This is karma. This is every negative thing I"ve done, coming back to take a big bite of my ass." The tightness in her throat eased. She strove to match the light tone his response invited. "That is unfortunate. Particularly as, in my professional opinion, the consequences of your actions are worse than you imagine." "Why do you say.. | Meljean Brook | ||
| ce9dfe1 | Her hand shot to the front of his breeches, making claws of her fingers and trapping his genitals in a tight grip. He froze. As if testing, she hefted the firm weight she found. Heavy, but so very delicate. She bared her teeth. "And even in the dark, now I'll know that I'm ripping off the right cods." | Meljean Brook | ||

| 8bc87a2 | His lips covered hers swiftly, his tongue taking advantage of her gasp and sweeping in commandingly. He had asked for the caress earlier that morning, now he demanded. He conquered, he licked and stroked her tongue and gloried in her instant, if hesitant, response. She was shy. Wary. She wouldn't give in to the heat pulsing between them easily. But she was curious enough about it to allow the kiss. | Lora Leigh | ||
| c65b10b | I would die without you," he finally said. "I'd be crazy with terror if there were six of you to defend. Not to mention crazy, period." There was a vein of amusement in the final sentence. She took his hand and moved it to her abdomen. "Did I ever tell you, Dash, how much I dream of babies? Lots of babies. I wanted at least three, more if I could. And if what you say is true about your semen counteracting birth control, do you think you mig.. | little-girls-to-defend protect | Lora Leigh | |

| 570aed6 | Just try it," he murmurs, reaching over to cover my hand gently. And I think, Whoa, that's never happened before! Then: Is he just doing that because he thinks Wyatt is interested? And, finally, this: Who the hell cares?!" | vampire-romance young-adult-fiction zombies | Rusty Fischer | |
| 28b9bd2 | That fine line between bravery and stupidity is endlessly debated - the difference really doesn't matter. | Bear Grylls | ||
| 96a603e | But the winners are those who know that when things get really hard and others start to fall away, that is the time to dig deep and give that little bit extra. | Bear Grylls | ||

| 6433e20 | She knew she'd wounded him when he'd least expected it, and her satisfaction lasted until the door had closed behind him. Once he was gone, it ebbed away along with her anger, leaving her with naught but the ashes and embers of a dying hearth fire. | henry-ii | Sharon Kay Penman | |
| 1bc80e0 | At least it was never dull, my darling. And you will be remembered long after we've all turned to dust. But so will I. | Sharon Kay Penman | ||
| 37bcbbb | What followed was for him a very entertaining spectacle, with one of Edward's brothers seemingly intent upon the most subtle of seductions and the other barely able to force malmsey past the gorge rising in his throat. | Sharon Kay Penman | ||
| 489a5a4 | I would see him, Edward.' It was no request; he knew it to be an ultimatum. He shook his head violently, not trusting his voice. Time passed. She was staring at him, saying nothing, and on her face was a look of stunned disbelief, of anguished accusation he knew would haunt him for the rest of his life. But when she spoke, her voice held no hint of tears. It was not a voice to offer either understanding or absolution, spoke of no quarter gi.. | Sharon Kay Penman | ||

| 89f0f95 | Socrates' method of building an argument through gentle queries, he "dropped my abrupt contradiction" style of argument and "put on the humbler enquirer" of the Socratic method. By asking what seemed to be innocent questions, Franklin would draw people into making concessions that would gradually prove whatever point he was trying to assert." | Walter Isaacson | ||
| 844e38d | The most beautiful emotion we can experience is the mysterious. It is the fundamental emotion that stands at the cradle of all true art and science. He to whom | Walter Isaacson | ||
| ee4fcac | If you just sit and observe, you will see how restless your mind is. If you try to calm it, it only makes it worse, but over time it does calm, and when it does, there's room to hear more subtle things--that's when your intuition starts to blossom and you start to see things more clearly and be in the present more. Your mind just slows down, and you see a tremendous expanse in the moment. You see so much more than you could see before. It's.. | Walter Isaacson | ||
| a733d2c | Everything you've ever done in your life is shit," Jobs said, "so why don't you come work for me?" | Walter Isaacson | ||
| a551a27 | People know how to deal with a desktop intuitively. If you walk into an office, there are papers on the desk. The one on the top is the most important. People know how to switch priority. Part of the reason we model our computers on metaphors like the desktop is that we can leverage this experience people already have. | Walter Isaacson | ||
| e72e8f0 | We made the iPod for ourselves, and when you're doing something for yourself, or your best friend or family, you're not going to cheese out. If you don't love something, you're not going to go the extra mile, work the extra weekend, challenge the status quo as much. | Walter Isaacson | ||
| a52341e | If we want to resist the powers that threaten to suppress intellectual and individual freedom, we must be clear what is at stake," he said. "Without such freedom there would have been no Shakespeare, no Goethe, no Newton, no Faraday, no Pasteur, no Lister." Freedom was a foundation for creativity." | Walter Isaacson | ||
| bd555ad | In a letter from Einstein to Curie) Do not laugh at me for writing you without having anything sensible to say. But I am so enraged by the base manner in which the publc is presently daring to concern itself with you that I absolutely must give vent to this feeling. I am impelled to tell you how much I have come to admire your intellect, your drive, and your honesty, and that I consider myself lucky to have made your personal acquaintance i.. | Walter Isaacson | ||
| f4a790a | The sexual act of coitus and the body parts employed for it are so repulsive that, if it were not for the beauty of the faces and the adornment of the actors and the pent-up impulse, nature would lose the human species."7" -- | Walter Isaacson | ||
| e21117a | One mark of a great mind is the willingness to change it. We can see that in Leonardo. As he wrestled with his earth and water studies during the early 1500s, he ran into evidence that caused him to revise his belief in the microcosm-macrocosm analogy. It was Leonardo at his best, and we have the great fortune of being able to watch that evolution as he wrote the Codex Leicester. There he engaged in a dialogue between theories and experienc.. | Walter Isaacson | ||

| 42b4e3a | An object will display the greatest difference of light and shade when it is seen in the strongest light. . . . But this should not be much used in painting, because the works would be crude and ungraceful. An object seen in a moderate light displays little difference in its light and shade, and this is the case towards evening or when the day is cloudy; works painted then are tender, and every kind of face becomes graceful. Thus, in everyt.. | Walter Isaacson | ||
| 6d41376 | Despite being a denizen of the digital world, or maybe because he knew all too well its isolating potential, Jobs was a strong believer in face-to-face meetings. "There's a temptation in our networked age to think that ideas can be developed by email and iChat," he said. "That's crazy." | Walter Isaacson | ||
| bde3845 | In ancient Rome, when a victorious general paraded through the streets, legend has it that he was sometimes trailed by a servant whose job it was to repeat to him, " Memento Mori": Remember you will die. A reminder of mortality would help the hero keep things in perspective, instill some humility. Job's memento mori had been delivered by his doctors, but it did not instill humility. Instead he roared back after his recovery with even more p.. | passion risk | Walter Isaacson | |
| 0de5b96 | You came and fell upon me, I was sitting in the wicker chair. The wicker exclaimed as your weight fell upon me. You were light, I thought, and I thought how good it was of you to do this. We'd never touched before. | Donald Barthelme | ||
| dc3b3b5 | He was thinking that maybe love was like starting a fire with two sticks. You've always heard that it's possible, but how likely is it? | Lynne Rae Perkins | ||
| 36f8312 | You said we would never be separated, ever again. And we will not. Not ever. There is a way to be together always. | Melissa de la Cruz | ||
