| 07d464a | How do we seize the past? Can we ever do so? When I was a medical student some pranksters at the end-of-the-term dance released into the hall a piglet which had been smeared with grease.

The past often seems to behave like that piglet. | Julian Barnes | ||
| 7a59a37 | And you can never prepare for this new reality in which you have been dunked. | Julian Barnes | ||
| 78acc9f | I swiftly realised how grief sorts out and realigns those around the griefstruck; how friends are tested; how some pass, some fail. Old friendships may deepen through shared sorrow; or suddenly appear lightweight. | Julian Barnes | ||

| fcea2f0 | He wrote you a poem?" Evelyn looped her hand around Georgiana's arm and led the way to the chairs lining one side of the room. "He did." Grateful to see Luxley select one of the debutantes as his next victim, Georgiana accepted a glass of Madeira from one of the footman. After three hours of quadrilles, waltzes, and country dances, her feet ached. "And you know what rhymes with Georgiana, don't you?" Evelyn wrinkled her brow, her gray eyes .. | Suzanne Enoch | ||
| b2f0486 | Has anyone ever told you that you're unbearably rude?" she returned, facing him again. "Why, yes. You have on several occasions, as I recall. If you care to apologize for that, however, I'll be happy to escort you wherever you wish to go." A flush crept up her cheeks, coloring her delicate, ivory skin. "I will never apologize to you," she snapped. "And you may go straight to Hades." He hadn't expected her to apologize, yet he couldn't help .. | couple hilarious | Suzanne Enoch | |

| 9961ba2 | Valentine lifted Rose to look her in the eye. "You are staying away from men, my sugar cake. Men are evil, wicked, and devious. I know this, because I am one." | Suzanne Enoch | ||
| 60c35b3 | Never argue Greek legends with a Greek... | greek-legends | Kate Walker | |
| 76d114e | Kate thought Yolo was of the bear spirit. The bear, according to ancient people who had known bears well, was of a loyal, generous and young-loving nature.

| e188777 | Clegane would grunt from time to time, and once Tyrion heard him mutter a curse, but otherwise he fought in a sullen silence. Not Oberyn Martell. "You raped her," he called, feinting. "You murdered her," he said, dodging a looping cut from Gregor's greatsword. "You killed her children," he shouted, slamming the spearpoint into the giant's throat, only to have it glance off the thick steel gorget with a screech." | George R.R. Martin | ||

| 90c58da | La noche se avecina, ahora empieza mi guardia. No terminara hasta el dia de mi muerte. No tomare esposa, no poseere tierras, no engendrare hijos.

| 99cb55a | Once, so tormented she could not sleep, Dany slid a hand down between her legs, and gasped when she felt how wet she was.

Still, the relief she wanted seemed to recede before her, until her dragons stirre.. | George R.R. Martin | ||
