| e83af55 | Time is an illusion, a construct made out of human memory. There's no such thing as the past, the present, or the future. It's all happening now. | Blake Crouch | ||
| faf5a29 | Why do people marry versions of their controlling mothers? Or absent fathers? To have a shot at righting old wrongs. Fixing things as an adult that hurt you as a child. Maybe it doesn't make sense at a surface level, but the subconscious marches to its own beat. | Blake Crouch | ||
| 684bc62 | I feel we are all islands-in a common sea. We are all, in the last analysis, alone. When one is a stranger to oneself then one is estranged from others too. If one is out of touch with oneself, then one cannot touch others. | Anne Morrow Lindbergh | ||
| c4d14f1 | Security in a relationship lies neither in looking back to what it was in nostalgia, nor forward to what it might be in dread or anticipation, but living in the present relationship and accepting it as it is now. For relationships too must be like islands. One must accept them for what they are here and now, within their limits -- islands, surrounded and interrupted by the sea, continually visited and abandoned by the tides. One must accept.. | Anne Morrow Lindbergh | ||
| ea01b7d | It is an oyster, with small shells clinging to its humped back. Sprawling and uneven, it has the irregularity of something growing. It looks rather like the house of a big family, pushing out one addition after another to hold its teeming life - here a sleeping porch for the children, and there a veranda for the play-pen; here a garage for the extra car and there a shed for the bicycles. It amuses me because it seems so much like my life at.. | family-relationships motherhood | Anne Morrow Lindbergh | |
| f786224 | All living relationships are in process of change, of expansion, and must perpetually be building themselves new forms. But there is no single fixed form to express such a changing relationship. | relationship | Anne Morrow Lindbergh | |
| 66eb487 | Margaret Mitchell won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction for Gone With the Wind in 1937. She was 37 years old at the time. Margaret Chase Smith was elected to the Senate for the first time in 1948 at the age of 49. Ruth Gordon picked up her first Oscar in 1968 for Rosemary's Baby. She was 72 years old. Billie Jean King took the battle of women's worth to a tennis court in Houston's Astrodome to outplay Bobby Riggs. She was 31 years of age. Gran.. | Erma Bombeck | ||

| f989f09 | There are those among us who have erred, deeply and significantly. Who have wounded the world and broken themselves. The worst of them lose themselves in their errors. The best of them crawl back, one foot at a time, and seek to amend their breaches. That is the way of the brave. | perseverance life-lessons life gabriel-keene chloe-neill perspective life-lesson | Chloe Neill | |
| b9660ad | I think Luc was right," he added when they were out of earshot. "I can hardly take you out anymore." "I just took out a vamp twice my weight while wearing a cocktail dress and three-inch heels. I think I deserve some credit for that." | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| 98a8ed8 | I tried to help. They were ganging up on one of the girls. I got hit in the head." "With a stiletto," Jonah helpfully threw in. "She got hit in the head with a stiletto." | merit | Chloe Neill | |

| 5b2f6ac | You're wearing your medal," he said. I grazed the gold with my fingertips. "I wasn't sure if I should, if it was dressy enough?" "You should. Consider it your dog tag." "In case I get lost?" "In case you're fried to ash and that sliver of gold is all that's left of you." Vampire tact, I thought, left something to be desired." | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| f6f9c96 | I swore an oath. I'm not happy to be a vampire. It's not the life I'd have picked. But it's mine now, and I'll honor that. | Chloe Neill | ||
| 96e4eda | Girl! I hope you did lots of nasty with Our Dear Sullivan and made us all proud. Please bring him back in a good mood. And eager to give us all raises. We need shoes. Hearts, Lindsey. | Chloe Neill | ||
| 583ebfa | We need to give you two a couple name," I said, taking a seat on the opposite side of the table. "Lucsey, perhaps?" Luc didn't bat an eyelash; he simply turned a page of the newspaper. "Call us what you want, Sentinel. We already have a name for you." That was alarming. Not that there was a way to avoid it, but I wasn't sure I wanted them discussing my relationship around the Ops Room table. "No, you don't." "Yes, we do." Lindsey stirred he.. | luc lindsey merit | Chloe Neill | |

| 277e74c | My first few weeks as a vampire had been inordinately busy. Like The Young and the Restless, but with slightly dead people. | Chloe Neill | ||

| 992801a | Procastination can be very satisfying.' He laughed ruefully, 'As you pointed out, it may be a very human emotion, but there's undoubtedly something satisfying about pretending the world is fine and you problems will keep until you're ready to deal with them. | Chloe Neill | ||
| 287bfd1 | Now that we've done the tea party," Luc said, pushing back the notepad and settling into his chair, "it's time for our annual review of Rules You Disrespectful Bastards Never Follow." | luc | Chloe Neill | |

| 76417fe | In the same way that a fiancee is a bride-to-be, I've always thought a girlfriend is a fiancee-to-be. Yes, most relationships bite the dust before things get long-term. However, that possibility of staying together forever remains the underlying force driving the relationship forward. | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| cb2231c | It's so messed up how little control we have over whether we want somebody. | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| 22c1f3d | Nothing makes you get down on yourself and worry that you're undesirable like rejection, so having someone desirable desire you is the ultimate antidote. | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| 9200202 | I'm positive I wouldn't consider having sex with Guy if I hadn't already had sex beforehand. I always knew I wanted my first time to be with someone I loved and who loved me, which it was . . . but shouldn't I want that for every time? I disagree with what Amy said about how once you go all the way, you can't go back to "everything but." But now that I have done it, it doesn't seem nearly as big a deal to do it again." | sex | Daria Snadowsky | |
| 94ddee7 | Doing things for someone else is what I love most about relationships, even more than having stuff done for me. | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| 1e3bfd0 | Blame your body. The whole biological purpose of existence is to mate, so from the time we hit puberty, our hormones are demanding us to couple up. Maybe it's basic instinct to feel inadequate if you're single." "That's what sucks. There's so many more interesting things than guys, but guys are what we spend most of our time talking about." "I think that's just the way it is, though. No matter what we do, it's always more special if there's.. | relationships friendships | Daria Snadowsky | |
| 03a1113 | The apex of glorifying God is enjoying Him with the heart. But this is empty emotionalism where that joy is not awakened and sustained by true views of God for who He really is | John Piper | ||
| 4c450d7 | The wasted life is the life without a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples. | John Piper | ||
| 863634d | Legalism is a more dangerous disease than alcoholism because it doesn't look like one. Alcoholism makes men fail; legalism helps them succeed in the world. Alcoholism makes men depend on the bottle; legalism makes them self-sufficient, depending on no one. Alcoholism destroys moral resolve; legalism gives it strength. Alcoholics don't feel welcome in the church; legalists love to hear their morality extolled in church. | John Piper | ||
| d2cce05 | The humility of wisdom is the happy consciousness that all things come from God, are sustained by God, and exist for God. This wisdom is rooted in the pride-destroying, joy-giving cross of Christ. | wisdom humility thinking | John Piper | |
| 5798f99 | God does not mean for us to be passive. He means for us to fight the fight of faith--the fight for joy. And the central strategy is to preach the gospel to yourself. This is war. Satan is preaching for sure. If we remain passive, we surrender the field to him. So Lloyd-Jones gets specific and gets tough: The main art in the matter of spiritual living is to know how to handle yourself. You have to take yourself in hand, you have to address y.. | John Piper | ||
| e0e18c7 | When everything in life is stripped away except God, and we trust him more because of it, this is gain, and he is glorified. | John Piper | ||
| ddfdf23 | In the end, the only 'good name' that matters is not how men feel about us, but how God feels about us. | John Piper | ||
| b1c7512 | It isn't the size of the window that determines how much you see. It's which way the window is facing, and how close you are, and whether the glass is clear. | John Piper | ||
| 10cc418 | Enjoying and displaying are both crucial. The wasted life is the life without a passion for the supremacy of God in all things for the joy of all peoples. | John Piper | ||
| dec3540 | God is willing and able to turn his judgements into joys . . . Don't ever think that the sin of your past means there is no hope for your future. | sorrow hardships | John Piper |
