| 374f324 | Can I ask you, what is your relationship to God?" "Limited," I say. "Limited with the exception of spontaneous prayer in times of distress." | god humour prayers religion | A.M. Homes | |
| bc7c3f5 | Around 2 a.m. the snow started to fall. It was quite a lovely view and I breathed it in like I only do when I truly love something, and there was a small sadness creeping in through my chest because I knew I would have to leave it, go back to my basement with no stars in sight. But I pushed it aside because those moments are rare and I'm happy because now I know this place exists and that's all you need sometimes. You need to know that love.. | home minimalism move places pretty safe simplicity solace | Charlotte Eriksson | |
| 2a300e8 | Un peu comme lorsque je rentre d'un voyage quelque part et que tout le monde me demande comment c'etait : peu a peu mes differentes reponses n'en font plus qu'une, mes impressions se resserrent sur elles-memes, ouais, c'est cool, la-bas, et tiens, une anecdote marrante... puis ce discours unique se substitue a la realite du souvenir. Du coup, j'ai franchement eu peur. J'ai ressenti cette crainte familiere, soudainement intense et sincere, q.. | Benjamin Kunkel | ||
| 2d6d292 | As you grow up, and you'll find this, you keep getting involved with larger and larger illusions that take longer and longer to fall away. The great hope is eventually to find a delusion that will outlast your life. | Benjamin Kunkel | ||
| 01ae8b1 | You Up?' What a great question! Just to be asked was to know the answer. | Benjamin Kunkel | ||
| 6f0e85a | they would have all the same stressors still in place, and they would have no means of lessening them, because, their will, if they had amassed any in their time away, was still weak and always a quick casualty. No match for the horrors of lost chances. | Norah Vincent | ||
| b6a004f | Emerson has what I believe is called a selective memory. He can recall minute details of particular excavations but is likely to forget where he left his hat. | emerson humor men | Elizabeth Peters | |
| e96cc16 | There has been an accident,' I explained to Abdullah, who was staring at Nemo's bloody sleeve. 'Please take Ali or Hassan and go at once to the ridge behind the tents. You will find a dead body there. Carry it here.' Abdullah clapped his hand to his brow. 'Not a dead man, sitt. Not another dead man ...' A flicker of reviving hope returned to his stricken face. 'Is it a mummy you mean, sitt? An old dead man?' 'I am afraid this one is rather .. | Elizabeth Peters | ||
| 5f33ec7 | I wonder where they'll go," Jake continued, frowning a little. "There's wolves out there, and all sorts of beasts." "No self-respecting wolf would dare to confront that duenna of hers, not with that umbrella she wields," Ian snapped, but he felt a little uneasy. "Oho!" said Jake with a hearty laugh. "So that's what she was? I thought they'd come to court you together. Personally, I'd be afraid to close my eyes with that gray-haired hag in b.. | Judith McNaught | ||
| 8db12e6 | Elizabeth for the whole of Edward's reign, never wore the rich jewels and clothes left her by her father. Instead, she offered a more virtuous example than the writing of Saints Peter and Paul, her maidenly apparel making the ladies of the court ashamed to be dressed and painted like peacocks. | David Starkey | ||
| 3681a38 | Have you caught cold?' 'It would appear so.' 'You could give it to Margaret,' Ramses suggested. His uncle turned the tinted spectacles toward him and then, unexpectedly, bust into laughter. 'What a charming idea. Will you aid and abet me when I catch her in a close embrace and breathe heavily on her? | ramses sarcastic-humor | Elizabeth Peters | |
| a24dc6b | So now you have it. The plot, the whole plot, and nothing but the plot. | plot sethos writing | Elizabeth Peters | |
| 93121ca | Have I mentioned to you, Peabody, that one of the reasons I adore you is that you are more inclined to beat people with your umbrella than fall weeping on your bed? | Elizabeth Peters | ||
| 1001450 | The room was so neat and tidy it made me feel quite depressed...I do not allow myself to repine about what cannot be helped; but I remembered earlier Decembers, under the cloudless blue skies and brilliant sun of Egypt. As I stood morosely contemplating the destruction of our cheerful domestic clutter, and recalling better days, I heard the sound of wheels on the gravel of the drive. The first guest had arrived. Gathering the robes of my ma.. | Elizabeth Peters | ||
| 2205c56 | he managed to create an atmosphere of sticky sentimentality that disgusted me. | Elizabeth Peters | ||
| d42219f | at the time there were moments of extreme discomfort; but the adventure, the danger, the exhilaration of doubt and peril are in retrospect something I rather regret having lost. | Elizabeth Peters | ||
| 23b2082 | that was Evelyn's weakness. She was too kind, and too truthful. Both, I have found, are inconvenient character traits. | Elizabeth Peters | ||
| 43495c0 | I believe you would square off at Satan if he came around and inconvenienced you! | Elizabeth Peters | ||
| 1334346 | In the gloomy corridor of that sepulchre I had felt Emerson's arms about me for the first time; along the rubble-strewn floor of the wadi we had raced by moonlight to save those we loved from a hideous death. Every foot of the way was familiar to me, and the spot was as fraught with romance as a garden of roses might be to one who had led a more boring life. | Elizabeth Peters | ||
| 8703384 | A woman's instinct, I always feel, supercedes logic. | Elizabeth Peters | ||
| c417806 | But there are still times that I talk to the sky, and by the sky i mean Jim. Try to explain the life i have now to the same color blue that used to flash in his eyes. | Eireann Corrigan | ||
| 293ce28 | See if he's alive." It was a messy job, and I'd have done it myself, but I trusted me more than Larry to keep the vampires away. He'd saved me once tonight, but I still trusted me more." | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| 33ed4b4 | The tears were back, stinging just behind my eyes. There was blood all over my penguins. I didn't give a damn about the walls and carpet. They could be replaced, but I'd collected those damned stuffed toys over years. | blood penguins | Laurell K. Hamilton | |
| e553895 | To deny the darkness of yourself is to deny half of who you are, and when you love, truly love, you need to love the whole person; not just the part that smiles and waves, but the part that thinks murderous thoughts and knows that pain is both pleasure and temptation...but still thinks puppies are really cute. | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| 31e1550 | Sex is one of the most personal things we do as people. To have someone who says she loves you limit how you express yourself in the bedroom is like a small death. It kills the soul. | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| d949c9f | Resulta turbador que alguien se considere mal tipo y le de igual. Atenta contra todo lo sagrado. Se nos ensena, por encima de todo, a ser amables y cultivar la amistad. Alguien que prescinde de todo eso es un individualista y un peligro en potencia | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| 6bf9e55 | It's not my fault that it's illegal to marry multiple men at the same time; that's like saying that a gay couple isn't as serious as a straight couple because the straight couple is married, at the same time you make it impossible for the gay couple to marry. | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| 057aa60 | I had to practice this line to use with people who come to signings and things: 'I'm sorry, I don't have sex with strangers.' | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| 5f98216 | Put some make-up on me and I look not unlike a china doll. Put me in a puffy pink dress and I look delicate, dainty, petite. Dammit. | appearance dresses | Laurell K. Hamilton | |
| 72c35a1 | Guarantees are for major appliances, not for murder. | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| 0838af6 | To know that everyone starts on the ground. Trees, flowers, people, even the mighty sidhe must stand upon the dirt in order to move forward. | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||

| 39a6de3 | he'd wanted to do for years while we dated--the whole princely sweep-you-off-your-feet shit. I liked to keep my feet firmly on the ground unless sex was involved, and you can't really have sex in a horse-drawn carriage; it scares the horses. | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| bfd00a5 | A lovable, cuddly bear. i didn't need a teddy bear for backup. | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| cd81f2e | Love doesn't conquer all, but it can help you conquer everything else. | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| 13ad023 | People say I'm a feminist, but in truth, I am an equalist. I believe that everyone, male and female, should be free to be whom and what they are. Not to fit into some tight cultural box. | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| 89cb1f4 | Ronnie, telefonun diger ucunda sessizdi. ''Tamam ama dikkatli ol.'' ''Dugun gecesindeki bir bakire gibi.'' Guldu.''Sen yola gelmezsin.'' ''Herkes oyle diyor,''dedim. | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| b73e29a | He held Saraid the rest of the way home, and in a way she held him right back, because sometimes and especially for a man, being able to be someone's big strong shoulder to cry on helps you not need to cry so very much yourself. | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| e47c79a | There had been a time when I'd believed my power was evil, but God didn't seem to feel that way, so until He changed His mind, I just had faith that my power came from the right side. | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| 86d6522 | I knew without doubt that if any more of the vampires tried to attack us I'd kill them, too, regardless of apparent age, race, sex, or religious affiliations. I was an equal-opportunity executioner; I killed everybody. | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| 117cd9b | A vampire victim. I'd never seen a lone kill. They were like potato chips; once a vamp tasted them, he couldn't stop at just one. | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| fa647de | I thought about it for another minute, and then said, "Okay." "Now that's an okay that really means okay, not that okay that women use when it means everything but okay." I had to laugh then, because he was absolutely right." | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| 2776016 | Can you speed this up? I want to get to bed." A slight frown appeared between his eyes. "Anita, you are not making this easy." "Hurrah," I said. The frown smoothed out as he sighed. "You would think I would give up on you ever being easy." "Yes," I said, "you would." Anita and Jean-Claude" | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| d1b80af | My answer seemed to please him, and he let it go. Matthew was teaching me not to over explain, to explain just enough to make him happy, and not dig the verbal hole deeper. Talking to children is like testifying in court, answer just what's asked, don't elaborate, and don't volunteer information. | Laurell K. Hamilton |
