| f72d906 | Creep" I said, cutting to the heart of the matter. - Stephanie "Gosh, I wonder who this could be." - Morelli "You lied to me. I knew it too. I knew right from the beginning, you jerk." Silence stretched taut between us, and I realized my accusation covered a lot of territory, so I narrowed the field. "I want to knew about this big secret case you're working on, and I want to know how it ties in to Kenny Mancuso and Moogey Bues." - Stephan.. | Janet Evanovich | ||

| 8ed5d42 | even though two decades and several years had gone by since [she] first decided to be a fairy, even though Lizabeth Kane now stood five feet six inches tall in her stocking feet, even though she was thirty two years old - she still had aspirations of growing up to be a fairy. | humor | Janet Evanovich | |

| 33e52f3 | It was so much easier when I was young. You got a boyfriend, and you married him. You had some kids, you got older, one of you died, and that was it.''Jeez. No true love?' 'There's always been true love, but in my day, you either talked yourself into thinking you had it, or you talked yourself into thinking you didn't need it. | Janet Evanovich | ||

| a9c52ca | I looked around the lot. "Is he dead anywhere nearby?" I really wanted a no on this one. I'd already had my millennium quota of dead. "You see that big bush by the Dumpster?" Jackie said. "Yeah." "You see that ugly-ass foot sticking out of that big bush?" Oh boy. She was right. There was a foot sticking out of the bush. "Shit, Jackie," I said. "You didn't kill that foot, did you?" "No, I didn't kill that foot. That's what I've been try.. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 6930fe9 | I'd call Ranger and see if he wanted to run with me. Then he'd be over here first thing tomorrow and make me go out and get some exercise. "Yo," Ranger said, answering the phone. His voice was husky, and I realized it was late and I'd probably awakened him. "It's Stephanie. I'm sorry to be calling so late." He took a slow breath. "No problem. Last time you called me late at night you were naked and chained to your shower curtain rod. I hope.. | Janet Evanovich | ||

| 9d0a81f | Ranger was waiting. He was dressed in black slacks, a form-fitting black T-shirt, and a black blazer. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 3b22f19 | Criminy, Emerson. That's even worse," Riley said. "Who asks someone he's just met if she'd like to see his thimbles? That's serial killer creepy." Emerson" | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 7910f83 | Ranger was definitely wow. He stood half a head taller than me. He was perfectly toned muscle, and he had classic Latino good looks. He always smelled great. He dressed only in black. His eyes were dark. His hair was dark. His life was dark. Ranger had lots of secrets. | ranger stephanie-plum twelve-sharp | Janet Evanovich | |

| 7357a1f | Even more bothersome was the fact that Eddie Kuntz's napkin was moving on his lap without benefit of hands. My first inclination was to shout "Snake!" and shoot, but probably that wouldn't hold up in court. Besides, as much as I disliked Eddie Kuntz, I could sort of identify with a man who got a stiffie over banana cream pie." | Janet Evanovich | ||
| c760b64 | Princeton isn't actually part of New Jersey. It's a small island of wealth and intellectual eccentricity floating in the Sea of Central Megalopolis. It's an honest-to-god town awash in the land of the strip mall. Hair is smaller, heels are shorter, asses are tighter in Princeton. | central-nj | Janet Evanovich | |
| 4b2a1d0 | Almost everything on Craigslist paid more than I was making, but my qualifications were sketchy. I had a college degree in liberal arts. That and a dollar could get me a soda. | Janet Evanovich | ||

| 38e4dd7 | The very fact that you can even wonder if you're going crazy means you very likely aren't crazy. Real nuts don't question their own nuttiness. They think they're the only normal ones. That's why they're nuts. | Jayne Ann Krentz | ||

"I will," he promised. "Joel, I love you. You know that, don't you?" For an instant he was stunned at the admission. Then elation soared in him. For the moment, at least, it blotted out all the other things he had been feeling since he'd walked into his apartment and se.. | Jayne Ann Krentz | ||
| 629c1f0 | Later we can go to dinner." "I suppose that might work," she said. She sounded so damn casual, he thought. As if the decision she had just made weren't staggering in its implications. As if it weren't going to alter destinies and change the fate of nations." | Jayne Ann Krentz | ||
| d8d6038 | We can stop waiting for life to become perfect and start working with what we've got to make it as satisfying as we can. We can accept, bless, give thanks, and get going. Today, we can begin to call forth the riches from our everyday life. Today we can move from lack to abundance. | Sarah Ban Breathnach | ||

| 290a908 | The assumption that numbers and mathematical or logical laws are mental is due to the even more widespread notion that only particular sensible entities exist in nature, and that relations abstractions, or universals cannot have any such objective existence - hence they are given a shadowy existence in the mind. | Fulton J. Sheen | ||
| 364a607 | The good repent on knowing their sin; the evil become angry when discovered. Ignorance is not the cause of evil, as Plato held; neither is education the answer to the removal of evil. These men had an intellect as well as a will; knowledge as well as intention. Truth can be known and hated; Goodness can be known and crucified. The Hour was approaching, and for the moment the fear of the people deterred the Pharisees. Violence could not be t.. | sin the-cross | Fulton J. Sheen | |
| 8a7a286 | Look at your heart! It tells the story of why you were made. It is not perfect in shape and contour, like a Valentine Heart. There seems to be a small piece missing out of the side of every human heart. That may be to symbolize a piece that was torn out of the Heart of Christ which embraced all humanity on the Cross. But I think the real meaning is that when God made your human heart, He found it so good and so lovable that He kept a small .. | Fulton J. Sheen | ||
| bc61b00 | Many a modern preacher is far less concerned with preaching Christ and Him crucified than he is with his popularity with his congregation. A want of intellectual backbone makes him straddle the ox of truth and the ass of nonsense. Bending the knee to the mob rather than God would probably make them scruple at ever playing the role of John the Baptist before a modern Herod. The acids of modernity are eating away the fossils of orthodoxy. | modern-preaching orthodoxy | Fulton J. Sheen | |
| 218e097 | The Book of Numbers relates that when the people murmured rebelliously against God, they were punished with a plague of fiery serpents, so that many lost their lives. When they repented, Moses was told by God to make a brazen serpent and set it up for a sign, and all those bitten by the serpents who looked upon that sign would be healed. Our Blessed Lord was now declaring that He was to be lifted up, as the serpent had been lifted up. As th.. | jesus old-testament repentance salvation the-cross | Fulton J. Sheen | |
| 9f5879a | It was not enough that the Son of God should come down from the heavens and appear as the Son of Man, for then He would have been only a great teacher and a great example, but not a Redeemer. It was more important for Him to fulfill the purpose of the coming, to redeem man from sin while in the likeness of human flesh. Teachers change men by their lives; Our Blessed Lord would change men by His death. The poison of hate, sensuality, and env.. | redemption salvation sin the-cross | Fulton J. Sheen | |
| 21b4b9e | Each instinct and passion of man is amoral; it is only the abuse of these passions that makes them wrong. There is nothing wrong about hunger, but there is something wrong about gluttony; there is no sin in thirst, but there is a sin in drunkenness; there is nothing wrong with a man who seeks economic security, but there is something wrong with a man who is avaricious; there is nothing to be despised in knowledge, but there is something to .. | sin | Fulton J.
