| c66a4d2 | A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. A water logged stick will do just fine. A dog doesn't care if you're rich or poor, clever or dull, smart or dumb. Give him your heart and he'll give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare and pure and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary? | John Grogan | ||
| 6ca2601 | The fight unfolded like background noise. White noise. In the foreground, even with his ghastly pale face looking dead in my hands, my fingers clenching his ragged hair, all I could see was random images of Fang, Fang telling me stupid fart jokes from the dog crate next to mine at the school, trying to make me laugh. Fang asleep at Jeb's old house, and me jumping wildly on his bed to wake him up. Him pretending to be asleep. Me laughing wh.. | James Patterson | ||
| d004a42 | and At the core of this desire is the belief that everything can be perfect. | David Levithan | ||
| b6f308c | Now, I don't believe in doing hugs halfway. I can't stand people who try to hug without touching. A hug should be a full embrace - as I wrap my arms around Tony, I am not just holding him, but also trying to lift off his troubles for a moment so that the only thing he can feel is my presence, my support. | David Levithan | ||
| 3127a91 | I pretend to understand because I don't want anybody to be hurt | Charles Bukowski | ||

| 359fad3 | He lunged for the maps. I grabbed the chair and hit him with it. He went down. I hit him again to make sure he stayed that way, stepped over him, and picked up the maps. "I win." | ilona-andrews kate kate-daniels magic-burns maps | Ilona Andrews | |
| f5d9ee6 | Where would you like to go, what would you really like to do with your life? See Istanbul, Port Said, Nairobi, Budapest. Write a book. Smoke too many cigarettes. Fall off a cliff but get caught in a tree halfway down. Get shot at a few times in a dark alley on a Morrocan midnight. Love a beautiful woman. | Ray Bradbury | ||
| 707cc35 | In your life there are a few places, or maybe only the one place, where something happened, and then there are all the other places. | Alice Munro | ||
| 104b7a9 | I used to think--and given the way we ended up, maybe I still do--that all relationships need the kind of violent shove that a crush brings, just to get you started and to push you over the humps. And then, when the energy from that shove has gone and you come to something approaching a halt, you have to look around and see what you've got. It could be something completely different, it could be something roughly the same, but gentler and c.. | Nick Hornby | ||
| f542932 | Pet names are a persistant remnant of childhood, a reminder that life is not always so serious, so formal, so complicated. They are a reminder, too, that one is not all things to all people. | inspirational | Jhumpa Lahiri | |
| 025e39a | It's like when you put instant rice pudding mix in a bowl in the microwave and push the button, and you take the cover off when it rings, and there you've got ricing pudding. I mean, what happens in between the time when you push the switch and when the microwave rings? You can't tell what's going on under the cover. Maybe the instant rice pudding first turns into macaroni gratin in the darkness when nobody's looking and only then turns bac.. | Haruki Murakami | ||
| b170294 | My chest feels full of glitter and helium, the way it used to when I was little and riding my father's shoulders at twilight, when I knew that if I held up my hands and spread my fingers like a net, I could catch the coming stars. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| bfd8df4 | This was bad grammar of course, but that is how beavers talk when they are excited; I mean, in Narnia--in our world they usually don't talk at all. - The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe | C.S. Lewis | ||
| b69ffb1 | There have been men before ... who got so interested in proving the existence of God that they came to care nothing for God himself... as if the good Lord had nothing to do but to exist. There have been some who were so preoccupied with spreading Christianity that they never gave a thought to Christ. | C.S. Lewis | ||
| 34ab4f2 | There's a long road of suffering ahead of you. But don't lose courage. You've already escaped the gravest danger: selection. So now, muster your strength, and don't lose heart. We shall all see the day of liberation. Have faith in life. Above all else, have faith. Drive out despair, and you will keep death away from yourselves. Hell is not for eternity. And now, a prayer - or rather, a piece of advice: let there be comradeship among you. We.. | holocaust | Elie Wiesel | |

| b42a012 | So many things to see, people to do. | paraphrased | Neil Gaiman | |
| accad73 | Stories are like spiders, with all they long legs, and stories are like spiderwebs, which man gets himself all tangled up in but which look pretty when you see them under a leaf in the morning dew, and in the elegant way that they connect to one another, each to each. | story | Neil Gaiman | |
| e197cdc | Richard did not believe in angels, he never had. He was damned if he was going to start now. Still, it was much easier not to believe in something when it was not actually looking directly at you and saying your name. | Neil Gaiman | ||

| 34a4aeb | She hated that will had this effect on her. Hated it. She knew better. She knew what he thought of her. That she was worth nothing. And still a look from him could make her tremble with mingled hatred and longing. It was like poison in her blood, to which Jem was the only antidote. | grey herondale james jem tessa will william | Cassandra Clare | |
| 92e38bd | I've mastered many thing's in my life. Navigating the streets of London, dancing the quadrille, the Japanese art of flower arranging, lying at charades, concealing a highly intoxicated state, delighting young women with my charms..." Tessa stared. "Alas," he went on, "no one has ever actually referred to me as 'the master' or 'the magister', either. More's the pity..."

Don't you think so?" "I don't know," Will said, eyeing her. "I'm afraid to answer that. I've heard th.. | will-herondale | Cassandra Clare | |
| c59e8f1 | We work through this together, remember? No shutting me out. No epic sulks." "I was figuring I could sulk for Idris in the next Olympics," Jace said... "You and Alec could go for pair sulking," said Clary with a smile. "You'd get the gold." | Cassandra Clare | ||
| 2f9f63f | We spoke of how to say good-bye," Jem said. "When Jonathan bid farewell to David, he said, 'Go in peace, for as much as we have sworn, both of us, saying the Lord be between me and thee, forever.' They did not see each other again, but they did not forget. So it will be with us. When I am Brother Zachariah, when I no longer see the world with my human eyes, I will still be in some part the Jem you knew, and I will see you with the eyes of m.. | Cassandra Clare | ||
| 2c2ce44 | Will tossed the bloody cloth aside. "And you wonder why we aren't friends." "I just wondered," Gabriel said, in more subdued voice, "if perhaps you have ever had enough." "Enough of what?" "Enough of behaving as you do." Will crossed his arms over his chest. His eyes glistening dangerously. "Oh, I can never get enough," he said. "Which, incidentally, is what your sister said to me when-" The carriage door flew open. A hand shot out, gr.. | gabriel-lightwood will-herondale | Cassandra Clare | |
