| 4983596 | I cannot expiate my sin, yet I am compelled to try. My mind will not let me rest. There must be something I could have done, some way I could have acted, something I could have changed to snatch victory from bitter defeat. | Juliet Marillier | ||
| 5674c3c | Our family has survived a long time. We've weathered battles and transformations, enchantments and floods and fires. We've endured being sent away, and we've coped with evildoers in our midst. If I were telling a story of Sevenwaters - and it would be a grand epic told over all the nights of a long winter - I would surely end it with a triumph. A happy ending, all well, puzzles solved, enemies defeated, the future stretching ahead bright an.. | Juliet Marillier | ||
| 1f90c61 | Some broken things you can't mend. Some you have to put together very slowly, piece by fragile piece, waiting until the last bit of work is strong enough before you try the next. It takes a lot of patience. | Juliet Marillier | ||
| e39190a | A tale can start in many ways. Thus, it is many tales, and at the same time each of these is but one way of telling the same story. | Juliet Marillier | ||
| 5e5f876 | Even when I was young and content and thought life would bring good things for me and mine, I didn't believe in miracles. | Juliet Marillier | ||
| 4b638bd | Quem e esta mulher? De cabelo cor de fogo Olhos sabios como os de uma coruja Maos fortes como as de um guerreiro Delicadas como as de uma mae, Toda ela e guerra por fora E bondade por dentro Segue o seu rumo O seu nome e Blackthorn" "Quem e este homem? Forca nas maos Verdade nos olhos Amor no coracao Honra no seu espirito O nome dele e Grim" | grim | Juliet Marillier | |
| 64a3f85 | The threads of many beliefs can run side by side; from time to time they tangle, and mesh into a stronger rope. | Juliet Marillier | ||
| 160ffcb | Love...it complicates our games, old friend, it insinuates itself, disrupting the most carefully laid plans and unmanning the most disciplined heart. | Juliet Marillier | ||
| d5b1035 | The day before you died was the longest, slowest day ever. It gave you more time than you could possibly want to contemplate all the things you'd got wrong, the chances you'd missed, the errors you'd made. It was long enough to convince the most hopeful person that there was no point in anything. | Juliet Marillier | ||
| 2886e78 | Now he understood what it was to be a man: that it was to be weak as well as strong, to be foolish sometimes and wise sometimes, to know love as well as to kill. And he had learned that there were other paths for him, other gods who called in the deep places of the earth, in the lap of wavelets on the shore, in the breath of the wind. He had learned that there were other kinds of courage. He knew, with deep certainty, that the islands held .. | juliet-marillier norse-mythology orkney picts | Juliet Marillier | |
| 6df434c | Some people have more highly activated left prefrontal cortexes and some people have more highly activated right prefrontal cortexes. (This has nothing to do with the question of hemispheric dominance that determines whether you are right-handed or left-handed, which occurs in other areas of the brain.) The majority of people have higher left-side activation. People with higher right-side activation tend to experience more negative emotion .. | Andrew Solomon | ||
| 81923ca | La depressione e un'incrinatura dell'amore. Per essere capaci di amare dobbiamo essere capaci di disperarci per cio che perdiamo e la depressione e il meccanismo con cui esprimiamo questa disperazione. Quando sopravviene, distrugge il nostro se e finisce per annullare la capacita di donare e di ricevere affetto. E la solitudine interiore, che si manifesta e annienta non solo il legame con gli altri, ma anche la capacita di restare serenamen.. | Andrew Solomon | ||
| 0343f6b | L'opposto della depressione non e la felicita, ma la vitalita, e la mia vita, mentre scrivo, e pregna di vitalita anche quando e triste. Un giorno o l'altro, il prossimo anno, mi capitera di svegliarmi nuovamente privo di senno: e improbabile che mi mantenga stabile per sempre. Nel frattempo, pero, ho scoperto quella che si chiama anima, una parte di me che non avrei mai immaginato esistesse prima che, un giorno di sette anni fa, l'inferno .. | vitalità | Andrew Solomon | |

| 7c10781 | Perhaps depression can best be described as emotional pain that forces itself on us against our will, and then breaks free of its externals. | Andrew Solomon | ||
| ddeb9f3 | Depression frequently destroys the power of mind over mood. | Andrew Solomon | ||
| 7a8d9d4 | It is too often the quality of happiness that you feel at every moment its fragility, while depression seems when you are in it to be a state that will never pass. | Andrew Solomon | ||

| 3865b36 | I still remember the moment. I ordered a chicken salad and it tasted like chalk. I knew I was depressed. And I went downhill so fast. That's when I really started drinking. I just did everything to fuck myself up to the bitter end. I would just black out and drink and black out and drink and black out and drink. I always left suicide notes: if I don't wake up, call my mother. I was using alcohol to kill myself. It was the easiest drug I kne.. | Andrew Solomon | ||
| e8f6300 | If you attach better services to a diagnostic category, some doctors will apply that diagnosis to children from whom it is not entirely appropriate in order to access those services. | Andrew Solomon | ||
| 572ce01 | Almost every day I feel momentary flashes of hopelessness and wonder every time whether I am slipping. For a petrifying instant here and there, a lightning-quick flash, I want a car to run me over and I have to grit my teeth to stay on the sidewalk until the light turns green; or I imagine how easily I might cut my wrists; or I taste hungrily the metal tip of a gun in my mouth; or I picture going to sleep and never waking up again. I hate t.. | Andrew Solomon | ||

| dcf411d | The opposite of depression is not happiness, but vitality and my life, as I write this, is vital even when sad. I may wake up sometime next year without my mind again; it is not likely to stick around all the time. Meanwhile, however, I have discovered what I would have to call a soul, a part of myself I could never have imagined until one day, seven years ago, when hell came to pay me a surprise visit. It's a precious discovery. | depression self-discovery self-knowledge | Andrew Solomon | |
| a96bb0e | At Oklahoma City, the Hardings visited with oilman Jake Hamon, now in line for Secretary of the Interior. Hamon's private life, as lively as Harding's, was far less private. Jake had taken up with redheaded Clara Barton Smith. He appointed Clara his secretary, married her off to his nephew, Frank Hamon, and then dispatched Frank to the West Coast, leaving Jake and Clara to live blissfully as man and niece. Harding ordered Hamon to dump Clar.. | David Pietrusza | ||

| d90ceec | often, one can be in love with who they think someone is, while being blinded by their own desires. And just as often, instead of being in love with a lover, one is in love with love. | Mercedes Lackey | ||
| 5dacaa3 | When they are seen as a type, and not as individuals, they are easy for a fanatical mind to grasp--and hate. | Mercedes Lackey | ||
| cb1a060 | Why do we grow up thinking life should be fair? Who told us that it should be? Because it never is, and finding that out . . . hurts worse than a lie. | Mercedes Lackey | ||
| c92986f | Aleksia laughed at her, putting a world of scorn and withering contempt into her voice--just as Kay would probably do in a temper. In fact, everything that she was doing now was to test her to see if her own self-worth was strong enough to stand up to the worst the one she loved could deliver. | Mercedes Lackey | ||

| a0bd3f1 | No matter what tears were shed or what trials were faced, some things would stay the same. There would always be day and night, stars and sky, hope and rest. There would always be love, always compassion, and there would always be Skandranon. And forever, in the hearts of all the Clans, there would be Urtho--and for his memory, a moment of silence. | Mercedes Lackey | ||

| a9e082c | Every time people give me presents, it just makes trouble." He thought of his Naming Day party, and the gift from his Uncle Alfrin that had actually started all this. "Especially if it's books. Someone gave me a book as a present once." "Then you'll know exactly what to do with these. Come on. Don't be shy.
