| 92a9927 | ness-that Morrie was looking at life from some very different place than anyone else I knew. A healthier place. A more sensible place. And he was about to die. But it was also becoming clear to me- through his courage, his humor, his patience, and his openIf some mystical clarity of thought came when you looked death in the eye, then I knew Morrie wanted to share it. | Mitch Albom | ||
| d7eb06f | When I give my time, when I can make someone smile after they were feeling sad, it's as close to healthy as I ever feel. Do the kinds of things that come from the heart. When you do, you won't be dissatisfied, you won't be envious, you won't be longing for somebody else's things. On the contrary, you'll be overwhelmed with what comes back. | Mitch Albom | ||
| 4de8717 | The story is about a little wave, bobbing along in the ocean, having a grand old time. He's enjoying the wind and the fresh air--until he notices the other waves in front of him, crashing against the shore. "'My God, this is terrible,' the wave says. 'Look what's going to happen to me!' "Then along comes another wave. It sees the first wave, looking grim, and it says to him, 'Why do you look so sad?' "The first wave says, 'You don't underst.. | Mitch Albom | ||
| ded148a | It's very simple. As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed at twenty-two, you'd always be as ignorant as you were at twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative that you're going to die, it's also the positive that you understand you're going to die, and that you live a better life because of it." Yes, I said, but if aging were so valuable, why do people always say, "Oh, if I were young again." .. | Mitch Albom | ||
| d1d5f77 | with a little faith, people can fix things, and they truly can change, because at that moment, you could not believe otherwise. | Mitch Albom | ||
| a06e6b1 | You're not getting it," Eddie gently replied. "I needed to save you. It let me make up for the life I took. That's how salvation works. The wrongs we do open doors to do right." | Mitch Albom | ||
| 031e9b3 | Sunflowers waiting for the sunshine. Violets just waiting for dew. Bees just waiting for honey And honey, I'm just waiting for you! | Mitch Albom | ||
| ea24b3b | Why humans kill each other is beyond my comprehension, but I can testify that you have been doing it since your inception. Only the weapons change. | Mitch Albom | ||
| d76c5e8 | The secret is not to make your music louder. But to make the world quieter. | music | Mitch Albom | |
| f91fa52 | One must indeed test the strings to this life, bounce the bow, wet the mouthpiece, prepare for the deeper music that follows. | life music | Mitch Albom | |
| 9e3fce3 | You're never in love with anyone the way you are when you're eighteen, on a beach, at night, with your shoes off. I still can't believe he's gone. | Mitch Albom | ||
| 7535451 | The Monster's crimes were so horrific that a mere man could not possibly have committed them. Satan, in the end, had to be invoked. | Douglas Preston | ||
| 9a2d76c | The mandalas were meant to be objects of contemplation, aids to meditation, their proportions magically balanced to purify and calm the mind. To stare at a mandala was to experience, if only briefly, the nothingness that is at the heart of enlightenment. | Douglas Preston | ||
| 6630ab5 | What the hell was your pal Bertin demanding?" he asked. "Sipping syrup?" "It's a cocktail he prefers when he gets, ah, overly excited." "A cocktail?" "Of sorts. Lemon-lime soda, vodka, codeine in solution, and a Jolly Rancher candy." "A what?" "Bertin prefers the watermelon-flavored variety." D'Agosta shook his head. "Christ. Only in Louisiana." "Actually, I understand the concoction originated in Houston." | humor | Douglas Preston | |
| f698df1 | So many times you will see people wringing their hands and saying 'I want to know what my mission in life is,' all the while they are cutting people off on the highway, refusing to give time to people, punishing their mate for having hurt their feelings or lying about what they did. | Richard Nelson Bolles | ||
| 55f306e | durante su ninez Tita no diferenciaba bien las lagrimas de la risa de las del llanto. Para ella reir era una manera de llorar. De igual forma confundia el gozo del vivir con el de comer. No era facil para una persona que conocio la vida a traves de la cocina entender el mundo exterior. | Laura Esquivel | ||
| c9d5e81 | Generalmente, esa es la manera en que se escribe la historia, a traves de las versiones de los testigos presenciales, que no siempre corresponden a la realidad. | Laura Esquivel | ||
| 8bb6d97 | Decidio darle utilidad al estambre en lugar de desperdiciarlo y rabiosamente tejio y lloro, y lloro y tejio, hasta que en la madrugada termino la colcha y se la echo encima. De nada sirvio. Ni esa noche ni muchas otras mientras vivio logro controlar el fri | Laura Esquivel | ||
| e80367e | Maldita decencia! !Maldito manual de Carreno! Por su culpa su cuerpo quedaba destinado a marchitarse poco a poco, sin remedio alguno. !Y maldito Pedro tan decente, tan correcto, tan varonil, tan... tan amado! -Tita | Laura Esquivel | ||
| 52828af | You must of course take care to light the matches one at a time. If a powerful emotion should ignite them all at once they would produce a splendor so dazzling that it would illuminate far beyond what we can normally see; and then a brilliant tunnel would appear before our eyes, revealing the path we forgot the moment we were born, and summoning us to regain the divine origin we had lost. The soul ever longs to return to the place from whic.. | Laura Esquivel | ||
| 45399c6 | being able to listen to unrepeatable secrets, wishes, and desires wasn't as wonderful as it seemed...being aware of what other people felt at every moment would come to cause him a lot of headaches, and huge disappointments in love. | love thoughts | Laura Esquivel | |
| 14df8d5 | Y juro ante su tumba que ella nunca renunciaria al amor, | Laura Esquivel | ||
| 790fa99 | Who among us is free? Only those who see their chains know what freedom means.-pg. 123 Welland Hevington, A Memoir "The Demon's Daughter" | Emma Holly | ||
| a0ef50b | Strength comes from giving yourself to another. It comes from deep in your heart, the very thing you share with that other person. It comes from knowing that fear isn't an option where a future is so certain. | Emma Hart | ||
| f0caee4 | Good things have to fall apart sometimes, if only to make way for the even better things to fall together. | Emma Hart | ||
| a30f124 | Love is how the other person likes their coffee on a morning. How long they put their toast in the toaster for. How they like their throw pillows on the sofa to be arranged. How hot they have their shower water. How many bubbles in the bath. How they always leave empty glasses on the bar in the kitchen, and how they know exactly how you take your coffee. How they know how many candles to light around a bathtub before you get in, and how chi.. | Emma Hart | ||
| 156bcf0 | No. There are no second chances in life, no rewind button. You don't get a do-over, so if you want something you have to run, smash into it and grab it with everything you have. You have to take it and hold onto it tightly before it's too late. | Emma Hart | ||
| b0c61c1 | Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs. | Charles J. Sykes | ||

| 5e28d08 | So in that dark and tangled night, the chaw of chaws rose to flight, with talons bloodied, feathers singed. A battle won - a war begins! | Kathryn Lasky | ||
| ed7755f | For Twilight, it was like the echo of a song- a song from long ago. He could almost remember some of the words, but had no clue as to where they had come from. There had been a wonderful voice singing it, singing this song just for him. A voice like silk? Satin? Like liquid moonlight, it flowed, it curled around him and suffused him with a glowing warmth. | Kathryn Lasky | ||
| 2b7cd7c | We never realise how transparent we are. | Alexander McCall Smith | ||
| 29cc20f | What a strange,old-fashioned thing to think. Bless you. But what other way was there of saying that you wanted only good for somebody, that you wanted the world to be kind to her, to cherish her?Only old-fashioned words would do for that. | Alexander McCall Smith | ||
| 9f5af68 | In bed that night, in the darkness, with the illuminated dial of her alarm clock glowing from the bedside table, she asked herself whether one could force oneself to like somebody, or whether one could merely create conditions for affection to come into existence and hope that it did, spontaneously. Open then our hearts - these words came into her mind, dredged from somewhere in her memory, from some unknown context. If one opened one's hea.. | Alexander McCall Smith | ||
| 28ad918 | It was curious how some people had a highly developed sense of guilt, she thought, while others had none. Some people would agonise over minor slips or mistakes on their part, while others would feel quite unmoved by their own gross acts of betrayal or dishonesty. | Alexander McCall Smith | ||
| 9be84d9 | She had been tied to an incubus, the memory of a love that had been rejected and had had nowhere to go; she had been locked into a dead relationship and now the last dried skin of it had fallen away, like the scab on a wound, and she was free. | Alexander McCall Smith | ||
| 2361b1e | I think that the measure of whether a life has been a good one is how much love there has been in that life--love both given and received. | Alexander McCall Smith | ||
| 7daf455 | That's the curious thing about love, isn't it? It makes very ordinary things seem special. It makes them seem so much more valuable than they really are. | Alexander McCall Smith | ||
| 07262cb | And yet,' he went on, 'who talks about forgiveness these days, other than the people who come to this place, or to places like this? What politician, what public person, do we hear standing up and saying that we must forgive? The message we are more likely to hear is one of blame, of how this person or that person must be held to account for something bad that has happened. It is a message of retribution - that is all it is - a message of p.. | Alexander McCall Smith | ||
| 3d29338 | The doctor drummed the fingers of his left hand on the edge of the table, a strange gesture which suggested, Isabel thought, an impatient temperment. Perhaps he had been obliged to listen too long to those whom he did not consider his intellectual equal, exhausted patients with long-running complaints, unable to put their views succinctly. Some doctors could become like that, she thought, just as some lawyers could; prolonged exposure to fl.. | Alexander McCall Smith |
