| 6fc690d | With a new awareness, both painful and humorous, I begin to understand why the saints were rarely married women. I am convinced it has nothing inherently to do, as I once supposed, with chastity or children. It has to do primarily with distractions. The bearing, rearing, feeding and educating of children; the running of a house with its thousand details; human relationships with their myriad pulls--woman's normal occupations in general run .. | Anne Morrow Lindbergh | ||
| 30c251f | My life cannot implement in action the demands of all the people to whom my heart responds. I cannot marry all of them, or bear them all as children, or care for them all as I would my parents in illness or old age. Are not the here, the now, the individual and her relationships the casualties of modern life? The present is passed over in the race for the future, the here is neglected in favor of the there, and the individual is dwarfed by .. | Anne Morrow Lindbergh | ||
| c678b89 | But the bond--the bond of romantic love is something else. It has so little to do with propinquity or habit or space or time or life itself. It leaps across all of them, like a rainbow--or a glance. | Anne Morrow Lindbergh | ||
| 5b59846 | Why do progress and beauty have to be so opposed? ; 75 Also, as in war, the case, like a great bubbling cauldron of life itself, threw up both good and evil. Greed, madness, cruelty and indifference were countered by goodness, devotion, self-sacrifice, and courage. p 178 | Anne Morrow Lindbergh | ||
| 9b0805e | Eternally, woman spills herself away in driblets to the thirsty, seldom being allowed the time, the quiet, the peace, to let the pitcher fill up to the brim. | Anne Morrow Lindbergh | ||
| 8664d0c | not the life of simplicity but the life of multiplicity that the wise men warn us of. It leads not to unification but to fragmentation. It does not bring grace; it destroys the soul. | Anne Morrow Lindbergh | ||
| 497cb00 | It is hard to recognize, or even to describe, but I think this freedom is the real reason the book continues to be so well loved and so well read after all these years. I am talking about the freedom that comes from choosing to remain open, as my mother did, to life itself, whatever it may bring: joys, sorrows, triumphs, failures, suffering, comfort, and certainly, always, change. | Anne Morrow Lindbergh | ||
| f7b01d4 | Woman must come of age by herself. She must find her true center alone. --Anne Morrow Lindbergh, | Joan Anderson | ||

| 0744d94 | When the glory of God is the treasure of our lives, we will not lay up treasures on earth, but spend them for the spread of his glory. We will not covet, but overflow with liberality. We will not crave the praise of men, but forget ourselves in praising God. We will not be mastered by sinful, sensual pleasures, but sever their root by the power of a superior promise. We will not will nurse a wounded ego or cherish a grudge or nurture a veng.. | John Piper | ||
| 7ea0788 | Absolute statements of our unbelief that we make in the darkness are notoriously unreliable. | despair prospective | John Piper | |
| d2937ce | We waste our lives when we do not pray and think and dream and plan and work toward magnifying God in all spheres of life. God created us for this: to live our lives in a way that makes him look more like the greatness and the beauty and the infinite worth that he really is. | John Piper | ||
| 263e6d8 | Less extreme is the simple costliness in time and convenience and money and effort to replace excessive and addictive leisure with acts of servant love. | John Piper | ||

| ad9951c | You were cut?" "Yeah, but I'm okay. Just a little sore." Devilishness shined in Malik's eyes. "What was the weapon again? Paring knife? Melon baller?" He squeezed his thumb and forefinger together. "One of those cinnamon-flavored toothpicks?" | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| 3b94790 | Because sometimes women cry when there's good news. Tears of relief. You know, catharsis." His expression was utterly blank. "Haven't you ever cried when you, I don't know, you get a new batch of that fancy stationery you like with the watermarks on it?" He looked bewildered. "That's what you think I'd cry tears of relief about?" "You do like your office supplies." | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| 45d48c4 | My lashes shuddered, and I had to force my palm against the sword's handle until cording bit into my skin, to force her back, to keep my mind clear. But later, I promised her, she'd feed. | Chloe Neill | ||

"And now that she is," Gabriel said, standing, "we should get moving." "Where are we going, exactly?" Catcher asked. "To a land beyond space and time," Jeff said drawing an arc in the air. "Where the rules of mortals have no meaning." Gabriel looked up at the ceiling as if he might find patience there. "We're going t.. | Chloe Neill | ||

| 8d6b5b6 | I lightly grasped the edges of my shirt and dropped into a neat curtsy, batting my eyes coquettishly. "Thank you, Liege," I said, Gratefully Condescending. "You're still not in Cadogan attire, you know." I frowned, awash in the disheartening realization that I'd tried again, and failed, at playing Cadogan vampire. Was I ever going to be able to be good enough for Ethan? I doubted it, but faked a smile and cheekily offered, "You should have .. | merit | Chloe Neill | |

| 322974d | Catcher pulled out his phone,rose,and walked away from the table to make the call. "I'm going to advise Chuck of our little breakthrough. Good job, Mallocake." We all looked at Mallory.

"It's a nickname" It was also my all-time favorite snack food- a log-shaped chocolate cake with a marshmallow center. They were absolutely delectable. And t.. | Chloe Neill | ||
| c8c428d | Ethan chuckled. "It hasn't escaped my attention, Sentinel, that you cringe every time I mention our future." "I don't cringe. I only cringe when you pretend-propose." He had a penchant for going down on bended knee--and straightening a hem or helping me with a shoe. "Nobody finds that amusing." "I find it excessively amusing. You do realize, don't you, that the proposal won't always be fake?" -- | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| 0040010 | And what about us?" Catcher asked. Gabriel's eyebrows lifted. "You're part of the mystery-solving gang, aren't you?" Catcher muttered something unflattering, and Mallory nudged him. "I presume you want us to stay here tonight?" she asked. "It would make things easier," Gabe said. "So we'll sleep on the couch," Catcher said, "like we're twelve-year-olds at a slumber party." "In fairness," Ethan said, "we don't all have to sleep on the couch... | chloe neill | ||
