| 8fc0f50 | For life is experience, and longevity is, in the end, measured by memory, and those with a thousand tales to tell have indeed lived longer than any who embrace the mundane." -Drizzt Do'Urden" | phylosiphical | R.A. Salvatore | |
| 7d88103 | Time to hunt?" Cattie-brie cried, satisfied that she had gotten her point across. She rose beside Wulfgar and headed for the door, but she turned her head over her shoulder to face Drizzt one final time, giving him a look that told him that perhaps he should have asked for more from Cattie-brie back in Icewind Dale, before Wulfgar had entered her life." | love missed-opportunities | R.A. Salvatore | |
| 06c36a2 | Nostalgia is possibly the greatest of the lies that we all tell ourselves. It is the glossing of the past to fit the sensibilities of the present.

(p36) | Edward De Bono | ||
| 89fbe1b | Critical thinking does seem a superior sort of thinking because it seems as though the critic is actually going beyond the scope of what is being criticized in order to criticize it.

| ab4c026 | In real-life situations apparently logical lines of argument are often (not always) based on an inability to see alternative possibilities. In a similar way the ability to think of an alternative explanation is by far the best way of destroying the arrogance of an apparently logical line of argument. | Edward De Bono | ||
| 3aaaafd | I had learned how it felt to want more than the sweet touch of hand to cheek or lips to palm, more than a kiss, more than an embrace. I was starting to discover that it is not only the mind that understands love, but also the body. | kiss love sweet | Juliet Marillier | |

| 8a03d40 | But then, if you forget what's bad, cruel, unjust, you might not care anymore about setting things to rights. You might stop standing up against the folk who do evil deeds. And someone's got to. | Juliet Marillier | ||
| bebcd58 | Look forward, not back," the Hag said. "All is change. Do not regret. Instead, learn." | regrets | Juliet Marillier | |

| 6661d47 | It is the aloneness within us made manifest, and it destroys not only connection to others but also the ability to be peacefully alone with oneself. | Andrew Solomon | ||
| ebd0193 | Parents' early responses to and interactions with a child determine how that child comes to view himself. These parents are also profoundly changed by their experiences. If you have a child with a disability, you are forever the parent of a disabled child; it is one of the primary facts about you, fundamental to the way other people perceive and decipher you. Such parents tend to view aberrance as illness until habituation and love enable t.. | Andrew Solomon | ||
| 4b01b89 | While people argue with one another about the specifics of Freud's work and blame him for the prejudices of his time, they overlook the fundamental truth of his writing, his grand humility: that we frequently do not know our own motivations in life and are prisoners to what we cannot understand. | Andrew Solomon | ||

| 46e1e72 | I'm consumed with curiosity because if I know Dirk, he probably sent his family a two-tine note--"I'm getting married. I'll be there in a week,"--and no further explanation whatsoever."

| 371ff0c | Priests confine broad truths into narrow doctrines, because more rules mean that they have more power. Priests mistake their own prejudice for conscience and mistake what they personally fear for what should universally be feared. Priests look inward to their own small souls and try to impress that smallness on the world, when they should be looking at the greatness of the universe and trying to impress that upon their souls. Priests forget.. | Mercedes Lackey | ||
| 387bbea | Ree-" Grey barked into the icy silence. "Lax!" The word spat so unexpectedly into her ear had precisely the effect Grey must have intended.
