| c2a8601 | I can't believe I have you here with me," she whispered and turned her face into his throat, nuzzling him. Inhaling. Tasting his skin with her tongue. "My life was pain and terror. You took away his voice. You gave me hope that my daughter would survive and others wouldn't shun her. I was terrified and alone, and you changed all that. You brought beauty and hope back into my life. Thank you for that, Dragomire. I swear I will spend every mi.. | romance fantasy dark-27 dark-legacy mystery crime paranormal vampires | Christine Feehan | |

| e54bc18 | He had the impression of Shylah pouting, and that made him happy. Just talking to her made him happy. The fact that she would circle around, hunt and find the man watching from the forest, was a complete turn-on. He liked that this woman would be his partner. | romance science-fiction paranormal | Christine Feehan | |
| 2498046 | She had to know, soon or later, that he was no saint and never would be. He loved her, but if she was going to stay with him, she had to know the worst of him. He wanted honesty between them. | romance science-fiction paranormal | Christine Feehan | |
| 4553efc | I heard her voice first. She responded to something Joanna Masci said to her. That note in her voice turned the key, unlocking something deep inside of me. I felt it like a terrible wrenching inside. Everything in me reached for her. For that note she left hanging in the air. I heard the music in me answer." | Christine Feehan | ||
| 8b5372b | I detested that people who already had everything they could possibly want would step on others who had nothing. Would use them and crush them. I'd lived my life mainly in the streets and found out the hard way that people who could have helped just hurt us. | romance science-fiction paranormal | Christine Feehan | |
| e627915 | I don't think I've actually seen you smile before, " Wyatt observed. "This woman must be the real deal to teach you how to smile." | romance science-fiction paranormal | Christine Feehan | |
| 7ee8dbf | You're the first thing I've ever wanted for myself. You're the first time I've ever thought maybe I could have some kind of life. I don't want you to go, not for my leopard or yours, but for me. | Christine Feehan | ||
| 1711c5d | Come on, ghost man. You want this. You want to live. I know you do. Breathe for me. Take a breath. | Christine Feehan | ||
| 597ff98 | Holy cow, Draden. You should be outlawed. If those guards were women, you would just have to look at them like that and they'd worship at your feet. | Christine Feehan | ||
| 72cc154 | The thing most worth doing in this modern world [is to] create jobs that men can work at, and be proud of, and make money by their work. | Nevil Shute | ||
| f3988aa | The news did not trouble her particularly; all news was bad, like wage demands, strikes, or war, and the wise person paid no attention to it. What was important was that it was a bright, sunny day; her first narcissi were in bloom, and the daffodils behind them were already showing flower buds. | Nevil Shute | ||
| 52cf330 | How can you have boundaries if you fly? Those ants of yours--and the humans too--would have to stop fighting in the end, if they took to the air." "I like fighting," said the Wart. "It is knightly." "Because you're a baby." | T.H. White | ||
| a89c4a4 | Gawaine and Gareth took turns with the fat ass, one of them whacking it while the other rode bareback. | T.H. White | ||
| 920c017 | He did not himself believe in the supernatural, but the thing happened, and he proposed to tell it as simply as possible. It was stupid of him to say that it shook his faith in mundane affairs, for it was just as mundane as anything else. Indeed the really frightening part about it was the horribly tangible atmosphere in which it took place. None of the outlines wavered in the least. The creature would have been less remarkable if it had be.. | troll mundane supernatural | T.H. White | |
| 1965caf | I suppose the best way to tell the story is simply to narrate it, without an effort to carry belief. The thing did not require belief. It was not a feeling of horror in one's bones, or a misty outline, or anything that needed to be given actuality by an act of faith. It was as solid as a wardrobe. You don't have to believe in wardrobes. They are there, with corners. (The Troll) | real horror | T.H. White | |
| 1562474 | Do you think that they, with their Battles, Famine, Black Death and Serfdom, were less enlightened than we are, with our Wars, Blockade, Influenza, and Conscription. | T.H. White | ||
| 309504e | An ordinary fellow, who did not spend half his life torturing himself by trying to discover what was right so as to conquer his inclination towards what was wrong, might have cut the knot which brought their ruin. | T.H. White | ||
| 52c6c31 | The best cure for grief is learning"." | T.H. White | ||
| 6d71356 | The best thing for being sad," replied Merlyn, beginning to puff and blow, "is to learn something. That is the only thing that never fails. You may grow old and trembling in your anatomies, you may lie awake at night listening to the disorder of your veins, you may miss your only love, you may see the world about you devastated by evil lunatics, or know your honour trampled in the sewers of baser minds. There is only one thing for it then--.. | T.H. White | ||
| 866c3f8 | And in the winter, which was confined by statute to two months, the snow lay evenly, three feet thick, but never turned into slush. | T.H. White | ||
| 97cbc77 | The increasingly cynical court thought Arthur, "hypocritical, as all decent men must be if you assume decency cannot exist." | hypocrisy decency | T.H. White | |
| 7a9d9ca | True warfare is rarer in Nature than cannibalism. | T.H. White | ||
| 3778961 | There would be a day--there must be a day--when he would come back to Gramarye with a new Round Table which had no corners, just as the world had none--a table without boundaries between the nations who would sit to feast there. The hope of making it would lie in culture. If people could be persuaded to read and write, not just to eat and make love, there was still a chance that they might come to reason. BUT | T.H. White | ||
| 256cae9 | But it was no good trying to tell about the beauty. It was just that life was beautiful beyond belief, and that is a kind of joy which has to be lived. Sometimes, when they came down from the cirrus levels to catch a better wind, they would find themselves among the flocks of cumulus: huge towers of modeled vapor, looking as white as Monday's washing d as solid as meringues.

| b1db9ff | I have been thinking," said Arthur, "about Might and Right. I don't think things ought to be done because you are able to do them. I think they should be done because you ought to do them." | T.H. White | ||
| 5f0bd61 | It's the causes, not the dependent person, that must be corrected. That's why I see the United States' War on Drugs as being fought in an unrealistic manner. This war is focused on fighting drug dealers and the use of drugs here and abroad, when the effort should be primarily aimed at treating and curing that causes that compel people to reach for drugs. | depression drug-war war-on-drugs alcohol-rehab drug-rehab drug-rehab-center dependency alcohol-treatment-center passages-ventura pax-prentiss substance-abuse passages-malibu chris-prentiss drug-abuse | Chris Prentiss | |
| 946e723 | If you are surrounded by people who not only don't believe in your goals and your positive outlook on life, but who also continually try to tear you down, it will be extremely challenging for you to hold firmly in mind that you will succeed and that you can be happy. | life philosophy zen-and-the-art-of-happiness zen | Chris Prentiss | |

| 88fa3c5 | A diminished self-image causes us to slouch, to avoid looking others in the eye, to be unassertive, to be indecisive. On the other hand, a healthy self-image causes us to carry ourselves well, to speak confidently and to portray dignity. | confidence indecision wu-wei dignity self-image | Wu Wei | |
| c733ada | Again, all of life presents us with two basic ways to treat events. We can either label them "god for us" or "bad for us." The event is only an event. It's how we treat the event that determines what it becomes in our lives. The event doesn't make that determination- we do." | depression happiness life philosophy zen-and-the-art-of-happiness zen | Chris Prentiss | |
| 4d31e8f | When you need an idea about how to do anything, get quiet and relaxed and think about what it is you need to know. Then the flow of ideas will come. Be patient and let it happen. Sometimes it takes a little while, but it always works. | life new-ideas meditate meditation patience | Chris Prentiss | |

| 62432af | It isn't enough to pick a path--you must go down it. By doing so, you see things you couldn't possibly see when you started out; you may not like what you see, some of it may be confusing, but at least you will have, as we like to say, "explored the neighborhood." The key point here is that even if you decide you're in the wrong place, there is still time to head toward the right place." | fear success pathways prototyping failure | Ed Catmull | |
| 0a7e882 | The first principle was "Story Is King," by which we meant that we would let nothing--not the technology, not the merchandising possibilities--get in the way of our story." | Ed Catmull | ||
| 5ec4eb6 | Merely repeating ideas means nothing. You must act--and think--accordingly. | Ed Catmull | ||
| 11b7c4e | Not the confidence that we know exactly what to do at all times but the confidence that, together, we will figure it out. | Ed Catmull | ||
| 7e54867 | good leadership can help creative people stay on the path to excellence no matter what business they're in. | Ed Catmull | ||
| 764f60d | I'm a firm believer in the chaotic nature of the creative process needing to be chaotic. If we put too much structure on it, we will kill it. So there's a fine balance between providing some structure and safety--financial and emotional--but also letting it get messy and stay messy for a while. To do that, you need to assess each situation to see what's called for. And then you need to become what's called for. | Ed Catmull | ||
| 9500aca | There's nothing like deep breaths after laughing that hard. Nothing in the world like a sore stomach for the right reasons | Stephen Chbosky | ||
| 3a7563f | I guess we are who we are for a lot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. --Stephen Chbosky, The Perks of Being a Wallflower | Aleatha Romig | ||
| efbc563 | The air, the water, and the ground are free gifts to man, and no one has the power to portion them out in parcels. Man must drink, breath, and walk - and therefore each has a right to his share of earth. | James Fenimore Cooper | ||
| c8fd782 | I've debated many economists who claim to specialize in risk and probability: when one takes them slightly outside their narrow focus, but within the discipline of probability, they fall apart, with the disconsolate face of a gym rat in front of a gangster hit man. | Nassim Nicholas Taleb | ||
| 7500e07 | This, perhaps is true self-confidence: the ability to look at the world without the need to find signs that stroke one's ego. | Nassim Nicholas Taleb |
