| 0e2ce00 | The past is a script we are constantly rewriting. | Michael Moorcock | ||
| 5494dca | Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of those rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters. | Norman Maclean | ||
| 3c84e3f | Help," he said, "is giving part of yourself to somebody who comes to accept it willingly and needs it badly. "So it is," he said, using an old homiletic transition, "that we can seldom help anybody. Either we don't know what part to give or maybe we don't like to give any part of ourselves. Then, more often than not, the part that is needed is not wanted. And even more often, we do not have the part that is needed. It is like the auto-suppl.. | Norman Maclean | ||
| 7d09554 | She glared down at the pan. And then she kicked it. The first kick sent it tumbling a couple of feet; something black and gooey came out. The second kick got better distance, maybe because it wasn't as heavy now. Evidently unsatisfied, she advanced on one of the pickups and grabbed a hammer from the back. Going down on one knee, she swung the hammer for all she was worth and beat the hell out of that pan, then she got up and kicked it one m.. | Linda Howard | ||

| feec82e | Milla put her hands on his ribs, holding on as he braced his weight on one arm while with his other hand he guided his penis to her and in the same rough motion pushed deep inside. He froze in place, his breath panting between his parted lips as they stared at each other. She couldn't move; the feel of him inside her was too sharp, almost painful in its intensity. Their gazes met in the mellow lamplight, and she was mesmerized by the tensio.. | Linda Howard | ||
| d5d3d6b | We never talked about the future. We never talked about what would happen when we got out of Rancho Linda. I don't know if that's being a teenager, or being a teenager in a place like Rancho Linda, but you lived only for the day, or only for the moment. It was all about getting through whatever was happening . You didn't worry too much about what was coming later, because right now was all you could deal with. It was like you were in a ri.. | Howard Dully | ||
| 3ba4dd5 | Minor detail. I'm going to kiss you, Marlie--" "I'll bite you again," she swiftly warned. He shrugged. "I always have had more guts than sense," he said, and very gently brushed her mouth with his." | Linda Howard | ||
| 9b39607 | People who read D.H. Lawrence suspect that the forbidden is not necessarily without its virtue, and so are easily persuaded that the forbidden and the virtuous are one and the same. | Kevin Brockmeier | ||
| 1d7f2f9 | small government gives you big freedoms--and Big Government leaves you with very little freedom. The opposite of Big Government is not small government, but Big Liberty. The bailout and the stimulus and the budget and the trillion-dollar deficits are not merely massive transfers from the most dynamic and productive sector to the least dynamic and productive. When governments annex a huge chunk of the economy, they also annex a huge chunk of.. | Mark Steyn | ||
| 5b1bf98 | Somewhere along the way these countries [EU] redefined the relationship between government and citizen into something closer to pusher and addict. And, once you've done that, it's very hard to persuade the addict to cut back his habit. Thus, the general acceptance everywhere but America is that the state should run your health care. A citizen of an advanced democracy expects to be able to choose from dozens of breakfast cereals, hundreds of.. | Mark Steyn | ||
| c033bd3 | One day the UN Secretary General proposes that, in the interest of global peace and harmony, the world's soccer players should come together and form one United Nations global soccer team. "Great idea," says his deputy. "Er, but who would we play?" "Israel, of course." -- | soccer united-nations | Mark Steyn | |

| f5e8b6f | Sick" "I cannot go to school today," Said little Peggy Ann McKay. "I have the measles and the mumps, A gash, a rash and purple bumps. My mouth is wet, my throat is dry, I'm going blind in my right eye. My tonsils are as big as rocks, I've counted sixteen chicken pox And there's one more--that's seventeen, And don't you think my face looks green? My leg is cut--my eyes are blue-- It might be instamatic flu. I cough and sneeze and gasp and ch.. | Shel Silverstein | ||

| 50e7718 | Fred coughed, which caused Sam and Ellie to look over at her. "Hey, Ellie. Watch this." Mentally apologizing to her oldest friend, Fred seized Jonas by the shirt collar and heaved him out of his chair and through the (fortunately open) sliding door. Jonas was densely built ("Deliciously so," Dr. Barb might have said over the sound of Fred's retching), but no match for Fred's hybrid strength, and the air velocity he achieved was really quite.. | sundae throwing-friends-out-doors tossing | MaryJanice Davidson | |

| d10ab4e | Bellusdeo laughed. It was, for a moment, the only sound in the quiet of the fief's night, and it was warmer and deeper than the lingering night chill. When her laughter faded, she glanced at Kaylin. "I was not like this before. I thought that the Shadows had not touched me." She lowered her head a moment. Kaylin understood this, as well. "It seems so unfair," she finally said. "Life is unfair. Which part of it pains you?" "We suffer, and it.. | family-values home kaylin-neya survival | Michelle Sagara West | |
| 844e414 | The redheaded homicide detective stepped through the door at 7:30 A.M. and out into the August heat that already had reached 88 degrees. By noon the temperature would hit 100, and by two or three o'clock it would be hovering around 105. Frayed nerves would then start to snap and produce a marked increase in the detective's business. Breadknife weather, the detective thought. Breadknives in the afternoon. | Ross Thomas | ||

| a609f44 | Ivy still had her tree up in the living room, and we exchanged presents when we felt like it, not on a specific date. Usually that was about an hour after I got back from shopping. Delayed gratification was Ivy's thing, not mine. | Kim Harrison | ||
| c2b0052 | I didn't move, numb as Al sidled up alongside me and together we eyed Pierce, nervous under our combined scrutiny. "If you give him a body," he said lightly, "I will kill him." I looked at Al. His eyes didn't look strange anymore, and it scared me. "I don't know that curse," I said blandly." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 724a9a2 | I'd said thank you. And apologized. It was more than I thought I'd ever do. "You're welcome," he said, his expression lost in the shadows. "I'll see what I can do about the no lying... thing." And inclining his head, he vanished." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 103f0d4 | I'm heir to madness. Vessel of perversion. Your nightmare should you cross me." Daryl's chin lifted, trembling. "Indeed. We might be sisters then, for I'm the same." | Kim Harrison | ||
| e584be2 | Nina looked up, her eyes fixing on mine with such ferocity I could almost see the undead vampire in them. "There is something under here," she said, and I shivered. "Yeah, we know, dirt nap," Jenks said. "Rachel already told us." | jenks | Kim Harrison | |
| e24408f | Ms. Vampire Lady, you're all wet. | sharps | Kim Harrison | |
| 4eb7d0b | Trent had been ready to kill that man to protect me. I had seen it in his eyes. I was damn sure I wasn't comfortable with that--not when I knew how badly he wanted to differentiate himself from his father. | relationships-love trent | Kim Harrison | |
| 7101619 | Ivy rose to rinse the carafe. She leaned close to me, running the water to blur her words as she muttered, "What's wrong with her? She's crying over her tea." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 0e12eee | His eyes went past us to his kids as they descended upon the mouse, who had finally made a dash for the living room and found itself in its own personal hell. | Kim Harrison | ||

| 9767bf9 | Holy dust," I murmured, looking for it among the clutter. Jenks's wings hummed and he dropped to hover over the envelope that I'd gathered from the slats under my bed, the only place the pixies didn't clean. It was on sanctified ground, so I figured it was holy enough. And God knew my bed hadn't seen any action lately." | Kim Harrison | ||
| 890262d | I jumped at him with a howl, and Al grabbed me by the neck. I clawed at him, and he casually thunked my head into the wall. | Kim Harrison | ||
