| 24edb43 | We have been shirking too long, and that's unworthy of a great civilization. To see off the new Dark Ages will be tough and demanding. The alternative will be worse. | Mark Steyn | ||
| 93fdf6e | I can be someone's and still be my own. | Shel Silverstein | ||
| e238901 | Getting back to the issue of the child," Tina said, harshing our buzz as visual, "I really think you should reconsider. He--" The phone rang. She picked it up, glanced at the caller ID. "We're kind of busy," I said, a little sharply. The phone was a whole thing between Tina and me. "But--" "If it's important, they'll call back." "But it's your mother." I practically snarled. The phone, the fucking phone! People used it the way they used to .. | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| b38967c | I mean, not that I killed her just to get the car, or anything. | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| 90f1c7c | I can't believe your boss tried to kill you, too," Jessica said. "I mean, I know they're trying to keep the unemployment rate down, but that's ridiculous." "Most people think their bosses are out to get them. But mine really was!" | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| 71aef6d | Don't look at his groin. Don't look at his groin. Don't mention that he doesn't have a vagina, so 'we' is bullshit. This is not the time to mention your pet peeve about expectant fathers talking how 'we' are having a baby. Don't. Don't. | humor pet-peeves pregnancy | MaryJanice Davidson | |
| 124bf44 | What the hell was it about e-mail that made everybody forget the stuff they learned in second grade, like capitalizing I and proper names, and using periods? Hello? We all learned how to do this less than five years out of diapers! | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| e15fbb4 | Have you lost your teeny tiny mind, you too-tall, too-skinny, too-crazy jerk?" "Oh, look who's talking, Miss Let's Blunder Around the Time Stream and Hang the Consequences! Thanks to you, we've got a dead Marc and a live Marc in the same timeline . . . in the same house! Thanks to you, I got chomped on by a dim, blonde, undead, selfish, whorish, blood-sucking leech when I was minding my own business in the past." "Don't you call me dim!" "U.. | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| 2dce795 | What it comes down to is this, Betsy: you do what you need to, and then you haul ass out of there. Every single time. | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| a9be0aa | Somehow, when I wasn't looking, somehow because it's electronic mail, none of the basic grammar rules applied. | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| 74fb1f8 | Crying's okay while it lasts, but you can only do it for so long. And it's weird to do it when you apparently can't make tears anymore (did this mean I wouldn't pee or sweat, either?). Anyway, eventually you're done, and you have to figure out what to do next. | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| 1d6b968 | Eric came to Macy's? Did he burst into flames the moment he passed the first cash register? | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| 96b89a6 | So you're a vampire?" "Yes. But don't be scared. I'm still a nice person." | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| a8a3c7e | Death was silence, loss, guilt. And anger. But life led that way, anyway. From birth, it was a slow, long march to the grave. Who said that? She couldn't remember now. But it was true. They were born dying. If they were very lucky, the dying was called aging. They reached toward if as if they were satellites in unstable orbits. And then when they got there, they were just dead. One moment in time separated the living from the ghosts. | silence loss death guilt | Michelle Sagara West | |
| e06e491 | She had managed to go almost three weeks without being late. Admittedly on two of those days she'd perambulated around the office like someone doing a good imitation of the walking dead - but she'd been timely walking dead, damn it. | on-time tiered | Michelle Sagara West | |
| cb4af4f | Stay," he said abruptly. "Stay, feed me. Read to me, if you like. Do not talk to me of death. Do not offer me your fear. I have fear of my own to drive me, and if my own fear is not strong enough to keep me from my duty, yours will only grieve me, girl. It will give me guilt and no rest, but it won't preserve my life." | fear | Michelle Sagara West | |
| 22b0722 | Once you freeze all the way through to your soul, you will never feel warm again. | Steve Hamilton | ||
| 1eb4a39 | It was one of those rare moments where life delivers on the promises offered by Hollywood... I just stood there and watched her disappear like the pathetic, 'romantic' coward I was (and still am, I guess)... In a way, it was a perfect moment -- everything I had been waiting for... People like me probably don't want anything to actually happen to them anyway... | Daniel Clowes | ||
| bd8997c | Please allow me the honour of allowing you to bestow upon me a blowjob. | friends blowjob boy girl honour | Daniel Clowes | |
| c80cb81 | before I was going to college, my secret plan was to one day not tell anybody and just get on some bus to some random city and just move there and become this totally different person. - Then what? - ...and not come back until I had totally become this person... I used to think about it all the time... | coming-of-age | Daniel Clowes | |
| 95b3bd8 | Whoever's job it was to keep the room clean was clearly not an overachiever. | Steve Hamilton | ||
| 16692e3 | Jenks, deep into his honey drunk, gyrated wildly. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 1a56243 | Did I ever tell you about the time I was working for the I.S. to help feed my family? Matalina had just had another set of quads and things were looking ugly. I had to take a job for hazard pay to babysit this witch no one else would touch." - Jenks" | Kim Harrison | ||
| 22810f0 | Anyone ever tell you that you look like an orange in that jumpsuit? Auntie Lenore? More like Auntie Clementine. | Kim Harrison | ||
| f67938a | What did I care what some guy in brown shorts thought? Even if he wore the uniform very well. Damn, where did they go to hire these guys? The gym? | Kim Harrison | ||
| 1c63894 | Trent's expression became empty, and I pulled away, hating myself. "Please don't close up," I begged, but his hands had fallen away, and I took them in my own. "Talk to me." | Kim Harrison | ||
| b5fb848 | Come on, Rachel!" Jenks shrilled. ou're a badass, not a bad witch!" | rachl | Kim Harrison | |
| ccefeee | Rachel... I can still smell me thick on you. You're like a big chocolate-chip cookie sitting all alone on an empty table. And when you get all agitated, it's as if you just came out of the oven, all warm and gooey. I haven't had a cookie in three years. Could you just calm down so you don't smell so damn good? | rachel-morgan | Kim Harrison | |
| 62c325f | I really didn't have a choice. It wasn't as if Kotex made a pad for this kind of a thing. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 8fc289c | I can smell her all over you. You need some help taming her? Let me break her in for you. | kisten | Kim Harrison | |
| 06bd4dd | You're good with people, and all I know how to do is give good neck. | kisten | Kim Harrison | |
| 0bec541 | It smelled like sex and dog in here. But mostly it smelled like sex. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 9978abd | There might be a charm in the black arts section of the library, but black earth magic used nasty ingredients--like indispensable people parts--and I wasn't going to go there. | Kim Harrison | ||
| c823769 | Close your eyes. Take a breath. Count to three. Let it out. Count to four." "Shove it up your ass," he said, hunching into himself and starting to shake. "The last time you told me to close my eyes and count from ten, look what happened to me." | Kim Harrison | ||
| c18ee9c | He opened his mouth, then closed it, clearly struggling to find a way to touch his son without hurting him. "Jax..." he whispered, his eyes both young and old--pained and filled with joy." | Kim Harrison | ||
| c1c45e4 | Oh God. "Jenks, you aren't a carton of milk with an expiration date. You look great--" | Kim Harrison | ||
| e8a4745 | Put a scoop of ice cream on it?" she asked. "And coffee. Everyone want coffee?" She looked inquiringly at us, smiling in a way that made me decidedly nervous, especially after that "I can get us a body" remark, and I nodded.Coffee? Why not?" | Kim Harrison | ||
| daa5d94 | You think?" I snapped, jumping when Newt slammed a side kick into the barrier, her robes swirling dramatically. Great, she knew martial arts on top of everything else. Why not? She'd obviously been around a while." | Kim Harrison | ||
| e9bcc84 | Jenks) "Tink's a Disney whore," | Kim Harrison | ||
| 07ed026 | Good Lord, I thought, squinting at the bright glare of a late-July morning. No wonder I slept through this. It was noisy with shrieking birds, and already hot. | Kim Harrison | ||
| c27ed2e | Kisten probably has one in here," she muttered, then turned with a tube of what looked like lipstick. "Ta-da!" Ta-da, huh?" | Kim Harrison | ||
| 3e65f20 | He looked at me, eyebrows high and the sun glinting on his disguise-black hair. "You do the damnedest things in order to rile yourself up. Most people settle for doing it in an elevator, but not you. No, you have to make sure it's a vampire you're playing kissy-face with." Heat washed through me, pulled by anger and embarrassment. Ivy had said the same thing. "I do not!" "Rache," he cajoled, sitting up to match my posture. "Look at yours.. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 5c8d5f6 | Look at yourself right now. You're half dead from blood loss, and you're out shopping. These disguises look great, but that's all they are: thin sheets of maybe standing between you and trouble. | Kim Harrison | ||
| b5acb8e | Worried, I touched the jacket's sleeve. "You think it's too much?" I asked, working hard to keep my tone non-combative. I'd had this conversation with ex-roommates before." | Kim Harrison |
