| 0a35f2a | while toasting] To blow jobs we want back | Meg Cabot | ||
| e81124e | Everyone knows you only want to look at the sinkhole because you love a good disaster. Get back to work, Fuller. I don't pay you for your looks. | Meg Cabot | ||
| 4103df4 | Only a couple of people have figured out what a weirdo super freak I am on the inside. And those people all have a reason to keep my secret, because...well, I've helped them resolve their own secrets. One person especially. Miraculously, he fell in love with me. Don't ask me why. I think I'm fabulous, but I'm not entirely sure what he sees in me (except the fact that I've saved his life a few times. But he's returned the favor). | proposal susannah-simon suze-simon the-mediator | Meg Cabot | |
| 3aad147 | Cementerio El Encinal meant Cemetery of Many Oaks (I'm taking Spanish so that when Jesse and I have kids, I'll understand what he's saying when he yells at them in his mother tongue). | proposal susannah-simon suze-simon the-mediator | Meg Cabot | |
| 724ad7e | Okay, okay, already," I said, holding up both hands in an I-surrender sort of gesture. "I'll try it your way from now on. I'll do the touchy-feely stuff. Jeez. You West Coasters. It's all backrubs and avocado sandwiches with you guys, isn't it?" | susannah-simon suze-simon the-mediator | Meg Cabot | |
| e6ead8a | My intention, of course, had been to wake up early and call Father Dominic to warn him about Heather. But intentions are only as good as the people who hold them, and I guess I must be worthless because I didn't wake up until my mother shook me awake, and by then it was 7:30, and my ride was leaving without me. | suze-simon the-mediator | Meg Cabot | |
| 88b297b | If your head is constantly stuck in a book, you're going to miss a lot. | Meg Cabot | ||
| d7051b7 | Ode to Algebra Thrust into this dingy classroom we die like lampless moths locked into the desolation of fluorescent lights and metal desks. Ten minutes until the bell rings. What use is the quadratic formula in our daily lives? Can we use it to unlock the secrets in the hearts of those we love? Five minutes until the bell rings. Cruel Algebra teacher, won't you let us go? | i-hate-math ode-to-algebra the-princess-diaries meg-cabot | Meg Cabot | |
| 9e70cdc | Reader, I married him. Ha! I've always wanted to write that! | Meg Cabot | ||
| 5edd53d | This," Alaric explained to Sarah in what he thought was a kindly voice, "isn't love you're feeling. Only dopamine. Because Felix isn't like anyone else you know. Being a creature of the night, he's new and exciting and activates a neurotransmitter in your brain that releases feelings of euphoria when you're around him...especially because you know you can never actually be together, and he seems complicated, and perhaps even sensitive and v.. | humor love dopamine vampires | Meg Cabot | |
| 0df2d88 | I don't understand why you are so unhappy about it," Jesse said. He had stretched out across the tiles, contented as I'd ever seen him. "I like it much better this way." "What way?" I groused. I couldn't get quite as comfortable. I kept finding prickly pine needles beneath my butt. "Just the two of us," he said with a shrug. "Like it's always been." | susannah-simon suze-simon the-mediator reunion | Meg Cabot | |
| c27f6af | Jesse, you're not going to lose me. I had the situation totally under control." Sort of. "But I have to say that after so many years of you keeping your feelings for me hidden out of propriety, it's really nice to hear you say all those things. Plus, it's emotionally healthy that you're letting them out this way. Keep unburdening yourself." I wrapped my arms around his neck. "What is it exactly, that you find so irresistible about me? Is it.. | proposal susannah-simon suze-simon the-mediator | Meg Cabot | |
| d2efd14 | The way things are going, I wouldn't be surprised if pretty soon I start wearing ripped-up fishnet stockings and dyeing my hair black. Maybe I'll even start smoking and get my ears double-pierced or something. And then they'll make a TV movie about me and call it Royal Scandal. It will show me going up to Prince William and saying,'Who's the most popular young royal now, huh, punk?' and then headbutting him or something. | mia-thermopolis | Meg Cabot | |
| 9d2441d | Did Gran go to a gynecologist? That is totally weird. I never thought about my grandmother's vagina before. I don't want to be thinking about my grandmother's vagina. Not here, at her funeral. In a church. While i'm doing a reading from the Bible. | Meg Cabot | ||
| 5b16f69 | KM: Yes. Mrs. Lopez, she's human. And you know, clearly, she'd like people to show some appreciation for her hard work. But if people just, you know, take her pie and don't even say, "Hey, nice pie," they just scarf it down or whatever- MH: I could see how that would get to be annoying. I mean, if you're constantly providing...pie. And getting no positive feedback- KM: Right! And what about your future? I mean, how do you know people are st.. | relationships romance love | Meg Cabot | |
| 845e620 | I found it after the soldiers came and I kept it. I don't know why because at that point I wasn't sure I'd ever see you again. But then when I uncovered it this morning, I knew... that is..." She reached out and flipped the pages of the notebook until the last page lay open in his hands. She'd written something there. He bent and read. I love you, Beast. I love you, Caliban. I love you, Apollo. I love you, Romeo. I love you, Smith. I love y.. | Elizabeth Hoyt | ||
| 01b54df | Wintermute was a simple cube of white light, that very simplicity suggesting extreme complexity. | William Gibson | ||
| a992cd6 | She's right, Kate's right, I'm right and you're wrong. If you drive her away from here it will be over my dead-- chair, has it never occurred to you at on one occasion you might be consummately wrong? | independence wrong-and-right james-keller | William Gibson | |
| e49977f | Hitler had had entirely too brilliant a graphics department, and had understood the power of branding all too well. | nazis marketing | William Gibson | |
| d626c1d | Laney felt the pills he'd taken, the ones that were supposed to cushion the jet lag, drop out from under him like some kind of rotten pharmacological scaffolding. | William Gibson | ||
| 0b270c8 | So now, in her day, he said, they were headed into androgenic, systemic, multiplex, seriously bad shit, like she sort of already knew, figured everybody did, except for people who still said it wasn't happening, and those people were mostly expecting the Second Coming, anyway. | William Gibson | ||
| b54c1a0 | Be quiet, darling. Let pattern recognition have its way. | William Gibson | ||
| 16f0ceb | Yeah, it's so popular it's almost legal. The customers are torn between needing someone and wanting to be alone at the same time, which has probably always been the name of that particular game, even before we had the neuroelectronics to enable them to have it both ways. | William Gibson | ||
| b0d8e55 | Now the deer moved through snow, snow that blew sideways, frosting the perfectly upright walls of Detroit's dead and monumental heart, vast black tines of brick reaching up to vanish in the white sky. They made a lot of nature shows there. | William Gibson | ||
| 25ef440 | In living organisms, nucleic acid molecules are the only indefinite hereditary replicators, or at least they were until the invention of language and music. | John Maynard Smith | ||
| 157dd9a | DUMBLEDORE conjures NICOLAS FLAMEL'S card from thin air and offers it to NEWT, who eyes it with suspicion. NEWT: What's that? DUMBLEDORE: It's an address of a very old acquaintance of mine. A safe house in Paris, reinforced with enchantments. NEWT: Safe house? Why would I need a safe house in Paris? DUMBLEDORE: One hopes you won't, but should things at some point go terribly wrong, it's good to have a place to go. You know, for a cup of tea.. | nicholas-flamel newt-scamander | J.K. Rowling | |
| 77213f1 | Desejava uma verdadeira livraria tal como um viciado deseja uma dose. Nao havia mesmo nada melhor do que aquele maravilhoso cheiro a livros novos, tocar nas capas e folhear um livro, cujas paginas, se calhar, nunca tinham sido folheadas. (...) Ha pessoas obececadas e apaixonadas por sapatos. Os sapatos eram bonitos, mas nao se podia ficar a noite toda acordade a ler um par, pois nao? | Jill Mansell | ||
| 41ca79b | The thing is, I was so bursting for the loo that I thought my bladder was going to explode. I could hardly speak, let alone make it up your stairs. When you threw the key down and I had to bend over to pick it up, I thought that was it, I was going to flood the road! And I'm not even exaggerating. I've never been so desperate in my life. | Jill Mansell | ||
| ae13fc5 | How was it possible to be with someone and yet feel so utterly alone? How was it possible to be with someone as wonderful, warm and kind as Andrew and yet still wonder if love would ever find you? | loneliness | Chris Manby | |

| ada1795 | Und Rasmus bohrt seine Nase in Nickes Backe und flustert: >>Denn ich hab' dich so lieb ...<< Da weint Nicke. Seit er ein Kind war, hat er nicht mehr geweint. Aber jetzt weint er. Weil er so mude ist und weil das erstemal in seinem Leben ein Mensch so etwas zu ihm sagt. | Astrid Lindgren | ||

| 89956a6 | In Boston one day, she had an unusual experience. While Papa and Auntie Hoyt waited out of sight somewhere, she had to go by herself into a large room in a department store and listen to someone dressed like Santa Claus read a Christmas story and "Twas the Night Before Christmas. This seemed odd to her for at Thanksgiving time, she was not ready for Santa Claus. In Cranbury they got through the turkeys and the pumpkins and the Pilgrims befo.. | Eleanor Estes | ||

| a1454cc | At the hangars, each jumpmaster was given two packs of papers, containing an order of the day from Eisenhower and a message from Colonel Sink, to pass around to the men. "Tonight is the night of nights," said Sink's. "May God be with" | Stephen E. Ambrose | ||
