| 6f1d22d | At his best, man is the noblest of all animals; separated from law and justice he is the worst. --Aristotle | Greg Iles | ||
| cd44ade | Whenever life gets too good, whenever fate hands you something wonderful, something else gets taken away. | Greg Iles | ||
| a4c0403 | Don't let the opinions of the average man sway you. Dream and he thinks you're crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you're lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you're greedy. Pay no attention. He simply doesn't understand." -- Robert Allen" -- | Steve Siebold | ||
| 255428e | In God's scheme what is a few billion years here and there. Perhaps there have come and gone a dozen human civilizations in the past billion years that we know nothing about. And after this civilization we are living in destroys itself, it will all start up again in a million years when the planet has all its messes cleaned up. Then, finally, one of these civilizations, say five billion years from now, will last because people treat each ot.. | kindness humanity inspirational | Leon Uris | |
| 4da2338 | With so much utter insanity all about, a man had to keep a clear head. Clement reckoned a scientist could actually chart the course of human events as one would chart the tides and waves of the sea. There were waves of emotion and hate and waves of complete unreason. They'd reach a peak and fall to nothingness. All mankind lived in this sea except for a few who perched on islands so high and dry they remained always out of the reach of the .. | Leon Uris | ||

| a164a4e | She's mine." "Fuck that." Ryland strode across the earth right toward Kane, ignoring Kane's growl of warning. "How in hell's name did a bastard like you find an angel?" | Stephanie Rowe | ||
| f3b7fc4 | She felt the truck tip again, and she sucked in her breath. We're going to die right now, aren't we? You might, but we're immortal. She glared at Gideon. What kind of comfort is that? | lily-davenport | Stephanie Rowe | |
| b9908f9 | I am definitely insulted that you don't remember me. I gave you some of my best stuff - Ian Fitzgerald | Stephanie Rowe | ||
| 87e2a63 | She's not trying to get herself killed", Ry replied. "She's on a mission. I admire that. And the fact she thinks you're a pain in the ass she doesn't want around? She's a smart woman, seems to me." -Ryland Samuels" | Stephanie Rowe | ||
| bf2171d | Apparently, I'm a senstive guy. You didn't notice that about me right away?" He moved closer, carefully, slowly encroaching on her space. "I cry at chick flicks and weddings." | Stephanie Rowe | ||
| ab3ff26 | See what happens when you have sex with a guy and blow him off? It never ends well to break a guy's heart. | Stephanie Rowe | ||
| a2a3eb0 | I swear, there's nothing like saving a woman from death twice to make it easy to manipulate her. | Stephanie Rowe | ||
| ba69fcf | Kane was stunned by the raw emotion of Ryland's words, of the depth of reverence in his voice. Ryland was a cold killing machine, who cared only about following his own path, about revenge, about his own brand of justice. He was a warrior who felt nothing, who saw no beauty, who had no depth to his soul other than death, pain and anger, and yet his sincerity about his mother was so evident that Kane could feel the other warrior's emotion.

| d3abe16 | It ain't bragging if you've done it. There's nothing wrong with being proud of doing something well. In fact, if you intend to do something creative for a living, it's absolutely essential. [check for wording] Proper pride says, "I'm good at this." Improper pride says, "I'm better than you." | proud skill pride creativity | James A. Owen | |
| 7975ad7 | ACIM states that you will be appalled when you realize what you are truly here for (T-17.V.5:6). You thought you were here to get stuff, prove yourself, and find people to love you. Instead you are here get peace, be yourself, and find people to love. You thought you were here to fix the world. Instead you are here to appreciate what is before you and see the world through new eyes. | Alan Cohen | ||
| d7db224 | Work is not your enemy but your friend. How you work, not what you do, determines the course of your life. You may work grudgingly or you may work gratefully; you may work as a human or you may work as a robot. There is no work so rude that you may not exalt in it; no work so demeaning that you cannot breathe soul into it; no work so dull that you may not enliven it. | work-ethic | Og Mandino | |
| 2814b02 | for when an act becomes easy through constant repetition it becomes a pleasure to perform and if it is a pleasure to perform it is man's nature to perform it often. When I perform it often it becomes a habit and I become its slave and since it is a good habit this is my will. Today I begin a new life. | Og Mandino | ||

| 7f02a5c | Now and then a pair of eyes would burn at us out of the dark ahead. I knew that they were the eyes of a cow-a poor dear stoic old cow with a cud, standing on the highway shoulder, for there wasn't any stock law-but her eyes burned at us out of the dark as though her skull were full of blazing molten metal like blood and we could see inside the skull into that bloody hot brightness in that moment when the reflection was right before we picke.. | cow | Robert Penn Warren | |
| e03846f | An hour later, thoroughly appalled with the state of the cabin now that she had given it a thorough assessment, Camilla sailed into the shed. She was armed with a long list. "You need supplies." "Hand me that damn wrench." She picked up the tool and considered herself beyond civilized for not simply bashing him over the head with it. "Your home is an abomination. I'll require cleaning supplies - preferably industrial strength. And if you wa.. | Nora Roberts | ||
| e06a51c | You'll make a good First Lady, Shelby Campbell." Shelby's fingers tightened on her wineglass, an involuntary gesture noticed only by Alan and his mother. "Perhaps," she returned calmly. "if it were one of my ambitions." "Ambitions or not,it's fate when you're paired with this one," Daniel stabbed his fork toward Alan. "You're a little premature." Alan cut cleanly through his meat, swearing fluidly in his mind only. "I haven't decided to run.. | Nora Roberts | ||
| f8c061c | It is a sore thing to have laboured along and scaled the arduous hilltops, and when all is done, find humanity indifferent to your achievement. Hence physicists condemn the unphysical; financiers have only a superficial toleration for those who know little of stocks; literary persons despise the unlettered; and people of all pursuits combine to disparage those who have none. But though this is one difficulty of the subject, it is not the gr.. | Robert Louis Stevenson | ||
| d986ac7 | Nobody paid attention; they walked around or stepped over - except one woman carrying a baby, who stopped, kicked him carefully in face, then went down ramp. | Robert A. Heinlein | ||
| 8a04e4f | It was all very puzzling--both that Jill could smell still more like Jill... and that Dorcas should wish to smell like Jill when she already smelled like herself... and that Jubal would say that Dorcas smelled like a cat when she did not. There was a cat who lived on the place (not as a pet, but as co-owner); on rare occasions it came to the house and deigned to accept a handout. The cat and Mike had grokked each other at once, and Mike had.. | martian grok smell | Robert A. Heinlein | |

| da4025d | Mmm, one does have to learn to look at art. But it's up to the artist to use language that can be understood. Most of these jokers don't want to use language you and I can learn; they would rather sneer because we 'fail' to see what they are driving at. If anything. Obscurity is the refuge of incompetence. | Robert A. Heinlein |
