| 042bfc2 | She didn't want Jack to be with her only because he couldn't be with the person he truly loved. | Melissa de la Cruz | ||
| 0f913f0 | He had tried so hard so many times, and she had always rejected him. He would not give her another chance, she knew. -Sky | Melissa de la Cruz | ||
| 2874209 | Do not cry for me, Azrael. Do not waste your tears. You made your decision." -Kingsley" | Melissa de la Cruz | ||
| 226d0ad | She had sacrificed her love, but he would not sacrifice his. | Melissa de la Cruz | ||
| 09c1b9a | Mimi walked out of church, knowing that if she ever saw Jack again, she would have to kill him. | Melissa de la Cruz | ||
| d0ac55d | Dylan leaned down, and she could feel his lips, soft and inviting, gently kissing hers. Then Dylan was gone. | Melissa de la Cruz | ||
| dd68037 | Schuyler grasped it tightly. She would never let go. Not in this lifetime. | Melissa de la Cruz | ||
| 3cbf5b5 | They were living exciting, crazy, queer lives full of poetry and camaraderie and heart-seizing crushes. I mean, not that night, but generally. That night they were bored. | Michelle Tea | ||
| f4abaf6 | They might all be drinking laced Kool-Aid in there, but she had a good head on her shoulders. Things like vampires and past lives and immortality just didn't exist in the real world. And Schuyler was a card-carrying member of the real world. She didn't want to check into CrazyTown any time soon. | Melissa de la Cruz | ||
| a74d793 | I love her because she has become something more to me. She has become my life. -Jack | Melissa de la Cruz | ||
| f1b3050 | It's a birthday party," sniffed Mal. "And I wasn't invited." -- | Melissa de la Cruz | ||
| 49a53f3 | She had chosen him; she had made him hers. She had done it out of love and duty. -Deming | Melissa de la Cruz | ||
| 597f71e | Altogether, the first glimpse of his bride-which should have come as no surprise to Alex, standing there looking so lean and handsome himself-nearly brought him to his knees. | historical-romance | Melissa de la Cruz | |
| 84d29a1 | When you meet the right person, it's like nothing else--nobody else. No one in your past ever mattered. | Melissa de la Cruz | ||
| 1136c62 | They were embarking on a journey into the darkness inside themselves. | Melissa de la Cruz | ||
| 55f96b2 | Don't touch me. Don't tell me how beautiful my eyes are, how soft my hair is, how you love to hear my voice. Don't. Don't pretend you are falling in love with me. I know you are lying, and every word you say hurts even more. Let us just be friends, if we can start there. Can't we? Can't we at least be friends? Get to know each other a little? Before the wedding, and the bedding, when I will have to take you as my lord and husband? | empire fiction historical-fic kingdom love marie-victoria marriage prince princess royalty teens the-ring-and-the-crown ya | melissa de la cruz | |
| ef7a946 | There would never be anything but this. Stolen moments, stolen kisses, a secret oasis. | Melissa de la Cruz | ||
| 1b3d756 | It is my turn to wait. Funny that in all these months we have been meeting, it was always she waiting for me. | Melissa de la Cruz | ||
| 4a543bc | I knew what I stood for, even if nobody else did. I knew the piece of me on the inside, truer than all the rest, that never comes out. Doesn't everyone have one? Some kind of grand inner princess waiting to toss her hair down, forever waiting at the tower window. Some jungle animal so noble and fierce you had to crawl on your belly through dangerous grasses to get a glimpse. | independence individualism individuality personhood strength strength-of-character | Michelle Tea | |
| 7699241 | Why were we tortured? We were in love and life was a fast current swarming around our ankles, threatening to topple us into the wet part of the planet. It was intense, that's why we were tortured. It was enormous and exploding like palm tree. Iris was my Yuri-G, my Delilah, my Stella Marie. Strong dark women you had to love with a strong dark heart that throbbed in gorgeous pain because love is terrible. I mean, ultimately. It would go away.. | Michelle Tea | ||
| 157567d | The worst thing about depression is how true your vision seems, like misery is the only correct perspective and everything you think when you're happy is a sham. I didn't even want to be happy anymore because I'd rather live in honest misery than fake bliss. I | Michelle Tea | ||
| ebd8125 | Oh my God, Michelle thought, I think we're making love. It was a term everyone barfed at. No one wanted to make love, people wanted to fuck, to take each other's skin apart with knives and pin it back together with needles. | love | Michelle Tea | |
| b4a8ce4 | Andrea worked to harden herself to the onslaught of feelings. The problem with feelings was, first you had one, which was generally bad enough. But then you had a feeling about your feeling, and then a feeling about how you were feeling about your feeling, and then another feeling would pop up at the sight of it all, this teetering pyramid of emotion, and all of it would look wrong to Andrea, all her feeling somehow incorrect, too much or t.. | Michelle Tea | ||
| b61985d | Although a security guard is ostensibly there to provide security, his actual role is to give the illusion of safety to suburban women. If someone wants to do something dangerous, a security guard is helpless to stop them. Most older security guards understand this. If you're a yuppie in a suit, you will never get stopped. If you're a bike messenger, they're on you in a heartbeat. Go stand in an office building lobby and watch if you don't .. | Harvey Pekar | ||
| 3dba6c2 | On the face of it, no one could have been less equipped for the job than these gently nurtured girls who walked straight out of Edwardian drawingrooms into the manifold horrors of the First World War. | world-war-1 | Lyn Macdonald | |
| 725de32 | I don't understand how an adult can write those last two sentences and not want to kill themselves for being so despicable. | Harvey Pekar | ||
| 3127b7c | I'm as big as snob as they come, but money is a terrible barometer of a person's worth. The standard I used is what a person is choosing to do with his life. So for me a struggling musician (someone dedicated to their craft, not some slacker) is much better than some lame investment banker. And the fact that she lied seemed like she was ashamed. She dismissed my anger as if I were overreacting. | Harvey Pekar | ||
| 3567103 | You do not pursue potential conflict unless you hold power over your foe. | Harvey Pekar | ||

| 020833f | Losing Sarah and my boy was the hardest thing I've ever lived through. But even then, you see, I knew that Eleanor was with me. If not here, then at least in the world, where I could find her. I could think of her living in that old house with her father, I could write to her if I chose. She was the anchor in my world, no matter how far I was from her. But if I lose ... Ian, I lose myself. I can't live. Not without Eleanor. | eleanor hart ian loss | Jennifer Ashley | |
| 2ef68b2 | Hart was surprised how much Ian's silent presence comforted him.

| d1386a9 | Daniel walked as tall and strong as Ian or Mac, even Hart. "They grow up so fast," Angelo said when he reacheed Cam. Cameron glanced at him, thinking the man joking, but Angelo's dark eyes were serious. "Chilhood is gone in the wink of an eye, and then they have to be men. You Anglos are strange, sending your sons out into the world as soon as they get tall enough. My family has been together forever." "I notice you don't live with them, A.. | cameron daniel | Jennifer Ashley | |
| 9dd02a9 | Well, I am nothing like perfection." "You're better. You're you." | Jennifer Ashley | ||
| 883051f | Algunas veces me siento sobrepasado. Intentar entender lo que dice la gente, tratar de recordar todo lo que se supone que debo hacer para parecer normal, es dificil para mi. A veces las reglas son demasiado duras. Asi que me voy por un tiempo. | Jennifer Ashley | ||
| baa43ba | Get me into the game, Izzy," Cameron said when he reached Isabella at the edge of Hart's well-groomed lawn. Pairs of ladies and gentlemen waited beyond, a few gentlemen swinging mallets and rolling shoulders to show off for the ladies. Isabella turned to Cameron in surprise. "We're playing croquet." "Yes, I know what the devil it is. Give me a damned mallet." "But you hate croquet." Isabella continued to blink green eyes at him. "I don't .. | croquet isabella | Jennifer Ashley | |
| 6f7bda1 | El, you are telling me to run away with a man to become his mistress." "I am telling you to be happy. Even if it lasts only a little while. We must snatch what we can when we have the chance. Life is so very lonely when we don't." | eleanor happiness life loneliness | Jennifer Ashley | |
| c930d09 | It was the only secret I kept from her and eventually it became impossible to fix. With a secret like that, at some point the secret becomes irrelevant. The fact that you kept it does not. | Sara Gruen | ||
