| 538a598 | Okay. And you'll, uh, make sure he doesn't hurt anybody when he's, you know, nutty and out of his mind with blood lust?" For the next ten years? Liam winced (well, he blinked), but Sophie soldiered on. "My queen, I have experience in these matters. Guarding young vampires--I--all will be as you wish." Yeah, right. That'd be a fucking first." | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| edcc412 | Look, nobody's trying to kill me right now and that's just fine. If they don't like me, that's just how it goes. I got over needing people to LIKE me in tenth grade, when I spied the captain of the cheerleading squad on her knees in front of the offensive line of the football team under the bleachers, one day after school. I figured that wasn't the life for me. | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| 599683e | But that is not my scene and I'm outta here." His hand shot out and grabbed me above the elbow. "Indeed, but you'll accompany me, I think." The stone face cracked and he almost smiled. "I insist on the pleasure of your company. We have much to talk about." "My ass!" | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| 26e4cbf | I'm not playing vamp politics. | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| a54d3e1 | Jessica peeked into the bathroom, then hurried back to report. "They got that boy stripped mother naked and they're scrubbing him with your brand-new loofah." I winced. Thirty-seven ninety-nine at The Body Shop, kaput." | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| 20503d7 | Tina was kneeling before me, holding Donald's head by the hair and very plainly trying to hand it to me. "Majesty, I beg your forgiveness for the indignity you suffered and offer you the head of our enemy as--" "Put that thing down," I said impatiently. "I can't talk to you when you're shaking his head like a damned maraca." | MaryJanice Davidson | ||
| 621f68b | It made no sense, but nothing did at the moment, and at least this was a good crazy. | Michelle Sagara West | ||
| 4e48c25 | But she only knew one way of conquering fear, and that was to charge into it, blindly. | Michelle Sagara | ||
| 75e8a45 | Hope. Such a simple word, to hold so much. I like it," she added. "I think it's appropriate." | Michelle Sagara | ||
| be4b10a | The end of the world is easy. We'll survive it, or we won't. But if we do survive, the rest of life is waiting. | Michelle Sagara West | ||
| ec876cf | On the other hand, the last week had pretty much been one waking nightmare after another; if this kept up, her dreams wouldn't have the power to terrify her. | Michelle Sagara West | ||
| 147df18 | It didn't matter. If she was to have any hope of saving Bellusdeo and Maggaron now, she needed to finish what she started; the anger and the self-recrimination would just have to wait. She'd no doubt she'd return to it later; unlike laundry, she'd never left self-recrimination undone. | Michelle Sagara West | ||
| 71eb259 | In practice, the Hawks are people. People are political. I don't expect any group of people to be perfect, theoretical beings--for one, the pay isn't nearly high enough. Some of the racial decisions made are purely pragmatic; the Barrani are preferentially sent into figurative war zones because we're much more likely to survive them. There is no equality because we are not equal; we are different. I attempt to respect those differences. | Michelle Sagara | ||
| 8b2c6f5 | Evanton creaked his way toward the sound of the bell at a speed that made snails look fast--if he decided to answer the door at all. If you made the mistake of ringing the bell while he was already on the way, he got angry. Kaylin had learned this early. On the other hand, if he'd actually failed to hear the door when she was expected, and she failed to ring the bell a second time, he also got angry. It was very much lose-lose, with hope we.. | Michelle Sagara | ||
| ead7b6a | Everything happens at night. The world changes, the shadows grow, there's secrecy and privacy in dark places. First kiss at night, by the monkey bars and the old swings that the children and their parents have vacated; second, longer kiss, by the bike stands, swirl of dust around feet in the dry summer air. Awkward words, like secrets just waiting to be broken, the struggle to find the right ones, the heady fear of exposure --- what if, wha.. | young-adult | Michelle Sagara | |
| 75ddf3a | Dying in vain isn't really all that bad since nearly everyone does it. It's the living in vain you really have to watch out for. | Ross Thomas | ||
| 7c83252 | Thomas Ross appears to have been something of a rarity: a socially conscious young man. | Stephen King | ||
| bfc396f | Che bisogno hai di cambiare? Per me va benissimo essere l'unico a capire cio che provi! Cosi e come se fossi tutto mio, no? | italiano | Hinako Takanaga | |
| 299ad55 | C'mon, let's go in my room and abuse drugs and stuff! | room teenagers | Daniel Clowes | |
| db1640c | But they always just laugh off everything I say, when really I want absolutely nothing more than to destroy the world they live in and to watch them suffer, alone and miserable, trying to live in my world for a change! | Daniel Clowes | ||
| 1cc16db | For a moment, all movement ceases and the scene is one of crystalline stillness, silent except for a slow, melodramatic heartbeat. | Daniel Clowes | ||
| 3d431b0 | This could be your big ticket," he said. "You know what happens to you at art school?" I shook my head. "All that good natural technique you have? All that detail? They'll beat it right out of you. They'll be so threatened by it, they'll make you start throwing paint at the canvas like a monkey. By the time you graduate, the only thing you'll be able to do is teach art to high school kids." Okay, I thought. I'm glad he's excited for me. "On.. | Steve Hamilton | ||
| b1715c2 | Also, don't forget that some of the most successful people in the world are self-taught programmers. Steve Wozniak, the founder of Apple, is a self-taught programmer. So is Margaret Hamilton, who received the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her work on NASA's Apollo Moon missions; David Karp, founder of Tumblr; Jack Dorsey, founder of Twitter; and Kevin Systrom, founder of Instagram. | inspiration programming programming-quotes | Cory Althoff | |

| d5bb5c7 | The greatest puzzle in the world, young man, the greatest challenge a man can face, is solving the riddle of a woman's heart. | Steve Hamilton | ||
| c587a1d | My God, you have beautiful hair in the firelight," he said softly, and I blinked. "It's like your thoughts, all cinnamon and wild untamed. I've always liked your hair." | Kim Harrison | ||
| a0669dd | Ivy would die for you, Rachel. Kisten won't. Put your emotions where they will keep you alive. | Kim Harrison | ||
| f9aabd2 | You call me your girl one more time and I'm going to turn your gonads into plums and make jam out of them. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 9b08528 | I wanted to make decisions on who I loved by who completed me, made me feel good about myself. Who I could love freely and help make a better person by just being there. | Kim Harrison | ||

| 9df04c4 | Anything worth having is going to be hard, | Kim Harrison | ||
| 5c1d5ee | My kids know you can make it if you take risks and work hard. That we can work in the system you lunkers set up. That's all a parent really needs to give his child. That, and how to love someone with all your soul. | jenks-from-the-hollows-novels | Kim Harrison | |
| 014a6a2 | As my hand found his, bitter salt tears spilled from my eyes, in sorrow and pain and regret that I had so utterly failed him. | dead ivy kisten rachel twice | Kim Harrison | |
| a460fba | Who in hell bought a mug with blue butterflies on it!" I shouted, slamming it on the counter beside the stove. "We are serious people doing serious things! I don't have time for butterflies!" | Kim Harrison | ||
| df2ecab | But they're dying. The church, I mean," she added as I met her eyes. "No new members. It's sad, really. The" | Kim Harrison | ||
| 60c7d7e | I asked, looking at the jukebox, now totally out of place, like a British police call box on the deck of the Titanic. | Kim Harrison | ||
| b027707 | Not everything was legal, but nothing was immoral, and that was my guide these days. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 1e038b0 | There's someone out there who's suited for you. Someone who has enough strength or knowledge to keep themselves safe. I bet there's a foxy young man looking right now for a woman who can take care of herself and thinking he can't have anyone either. | Kim Harrison | ||
| 52753f8 | The runt will have a juice box.' He turned to Pierce. 'It will make you big and strong, won't it, little fella. | Kim Harrison | ||
