| 1d4cb61 | I'll just ask now: What is it about my persona that draws every insane, power-hungry nutcase to me like a magnet? | James Patterson | ||
| 62e32ac | When love first happens, the individuals are giving each other energy unconsciously and both people feel buoyant and elated. That's the incredible high we call being 'in love.' Unfortunately, once they expect this feeling to come from another person, they cut themselves off from the energy in the universe and begin to rely even more on the energy from each other--only now there doesn't seem to be enough and so they stop giving each other en.. | love | James Redfield | |
| 0473c38 | The weird, weird thing about devastating loss is that life actually goes on. When you're faced with a tragedy, a loss so huge that you have no idea how you can live through it, somehow, the world keeps turning, the seconds keep ticking. | grief loss | James Patterson | |
| 24bda35 | I'm a freaking princess when it comes to other people's feelings. Yo dogbreath, get your paws of the everglades. -Max | school-s-out-forever | James Patterson | |

| e008a8d | Long ago I yearned to be a hero without knowing, in truth, what a hero was. Now, perhaps, I understand it a little better. A grower of turnips or a shaper of clay, a Commot farmer or a king--every man is a hero if he strives more for others than for himself alone. Once you told me that the seeking counts more than the finding. So, too, must the striving count more than the gain. | Lloyd Alexander | ||
| ce0da03 | The first week of August hangs at the very top of the summer, the top of the live-long year, like the highest seat of a Ferris wheel when it pauses in its turning. The weeks that come before are only a climb from balmy spring, and those that follow a drop to the chill of autumn, but the first week of August is motionless, and hot. It is curiously silent, too, with blank white dawns and glaring noons, and sunsets smeared with too much color... | regret summer | Natalie Babbitt | |
| 593ca26 | So Lyra and her daemon turned away from the world they were born in, and looked toward the sun, and walked into the sky. | philip-pullman the-golden-compass | Philip Pullman | |
| 8d276bf | He could not be mistaken. There were no other eyes like those in the world. There was only one creature in the world who could concentrate for him all the brightness and meaning of life. It was she. It was Kitty. | levin love | Leo Tolstoy | |
| e65b0d4 | It is true that I do not speak as well as I can think. But that is true of most people, as nearly as I can tell. | Barbara Kingsolver | ||
| f2b4c78 | In a rabbit-fear I may hurl myself under the wheels of the car because the lights terrify me, and under the dark blind death of wheels I will be safe. I am very tired, very banal, very confused. I do not know who I am tonight. I wanted to walk until I dropped and not complete the inevitable circle of coming home. | Sylvia Plath | ||

| d60f717 | Have you any idea how much my kingdom has swollen in this past century alone, how many subdivisions I've had to open?" I opened my mouth to respond, but Hades was on a roll now. More security ghouls," he moaned. "Traffic problems at the judgment pavilion. Double overtime for the staff. I used to be a rich god, Percy Jackson. I control all the precious metals under the earth. But my expenses!" Charon wants a pay raise," I blurted, just remem.. | hades percy-jackson | Rick Riordan | |
| 51543a7 | He climbed up behind Hazel. Arion took off across the water, the nymphs screaming behind them, and Narcissus shouting, "Bring me back! Bring me back!" As Arion raced towards the Argo II, Leo remembered what Nemesis had said about Echo and Narcissus: Perhaps they'll teach you a lesson. Leo had thought she'd meant Narcissus, but now he wondered if the real lesson for him was Echo--invisible to her brethren, cursed to love someone who didn't c.. | the-mark-of-athena | Rick Riordan | |
| 3e154f0 | Losing you is most difficult for me, but the nature of my love for you is what matters. If it distorts into half-truth, then perhaps it is better not to love you. I must keep my mind but loose you. | love | Haruki Murakami | |
| ad77b98 | Kindness and a caring mind are two separate qualities. Kindness is manners. It is superficial custom, an acquired practice. Not so the mind. The mind is deeper, stronger, and, I believe, it is far more inconstant. | hard-boiled wonderland world | Haruki Murakami | |
| ba6234f | When the shadow of the sash appeared on the curtains it was between seven and eight o' clock and then I was in time again, hearing the watch. It was Grandfather's and when Father gave it to me he said I give you the mausoleum of all hope and desire; it's rather excruciating-ly apt that you will use it to gain the reducto absurdum of all human experience which can fit your individual needs no better than it fitted his or his father's. I give.. | William Faulkner | ||

| d9546b3 | They can't tell so much about you if you got your eyes closed. | philosophy wisdom | Ken Kesey | |
| 124162c | I learned to recognise the thorough and primitive duality of man; I saw that, of the two natures that contended in the field of my consciousness, even if I could rightly be said to be either, it was only because I was radically both. | Robert Louis Stevenson | ||
| 5f0a4f0 | Nations are not communities and never have been. The history of any country, presented as the history of a family, conceals the fierce conflicts of interest (sometimes exploding, often repressed) between conquerors and conquered, masters and slaves, capitalists and workers, dominators and dominated in race and sex. And in such as world of conflict, a world of victims and executioners, it is the job of thinking people, as Albert Camus sugges.. | Howard Zinn | ||
| 4a4ab82 | The last time I wore an animal hide; but this time I settled for this." Eric had been wearing a long trench coat. Now he threw it off dramatically, and I could only stand and stare. Normally, Eric was a blue-jeans-and-T-shirt kind of guy. Tonight, he wore a pink tank top and Lycra leggings[...]They were pink and aqua, like the swirls down the side of Jason's truck." | humor romance sookie-stackhouse true-blood | Charlaine Harris | |

| 3d6da67 | What would you give someone who likes to play the piano?" "A piano." "Simon." "A really huge metronome that could also double as a weapon?" | simon-lewis | Cassandra Clare | |
| d39cd61 | The door buzzer sounded again. The two boys exchanged a single look before both bolting down the narrow hallway to the door. Jordan got there first. He grabbed for the coatrack that stood by the door, ripped the coats off it, and flung the door wide, the rack held aboe his head like a javelin. On the other side of the door was Jace. He blinked. "Is that a coatrack?" Jordan slammed the coatrack down on the ground and sighed.

| 1ecb211 | Tell me, is he always really rude, or does he save that for mundanes?" "Oh, he's rude to everyone," said Isabelle airily. "It's what makes him so damn sexy. That and he's killed more demons than anyone else his age." | Cassandra Clare | ||
| fdb66e1 | Why are you such an asshat?" "An asshat?" Jace looked as if he were about to laugh." | Cassandra Clare | ||
| f375efa | He broke up with me." "Because you weren't in love with him. That's an iffy proposition, and I think he's handling with grace. A lot of teenage boys would sulk, or lurk around under your window with a boom box." "No one has a boom box anymore. That was the eighties." | luke | Cassandra Clare | |
| 4d6b1e6 | Well, I'm certainly not Ragnor Fell the exotic dancer. | magnus-bane sebastian-verlac | Cassandra Clare | |
| 9bb3040 | I think the best stories always end up being about the people rather than the event, which is to say character-driven. | on-writing stories storytelling | Stephen King | |
| 75136cb | It was like drowning, only from the inside out. | Stephen King | ||
| 91bf5b7 | The scariest moment is always just before you start. After that, things can only get better. | Stephen King | ||
| d02b30e | Want your boat, Georgie?' Pennywise asked. 'I only repeat myself because you really do not seem that eager.' He held it up, smiling. He was wearing a baggy silk suit with great big orange buttons. A bright tie, electric-blue, flopped down his front, and on his hands were big white gloves, like the kind Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck always wore. Yes, sure,' George said, looking into the stormdrain. And a balloon? I've got red and green and ye.. | Stephen King | ||
| 0c61a08 | Payne looked back through the glass at the human on the bed. "Yes. I am in love with him. And if you try to dissuade me by the fact that I have not lived yet enough to judge, I say unto you...fuck off." | J.R. Ward | ||
| a3631fc | Christ, don't you ever knock? It's Lassiter. L-A-S-S-I-T-E-R. How is it possible you're still getting me confused with someone else? Do I need a nametag? | J.R. Ward | ||

| dcc4afc | And the moral of the story is that you don't remember what happened. What you remember becomes what happened.

| a0aeed4 | So I walked away and left him standing there in the moonlight - watching over nothing. | F. Scott Fitzgerald | ||
| 27e9e44 | I'm not good enough for you. But no one is. And most men, good or bad, have limits to what they would do, even for someone they love. I have none. No God, no moral code, no faith in anything. Except you. You're my religion. I would do anything you asked. I would fight, steal, kill for you." -Kev to Win" | kev love obsession win | Lisa Kleypas | |
| f1b6efe | He liked cheap women, fast cars, late nights, and hard liquor, especially all together. In Jack's view, you are obliged to sin on Saturday night so you'd have something to atone for Sunday morning. Otherwise, you'd be putting the preacher out of business. | Lisa Kleypas | ||
| 141b4db | Your Majesty, please get down. My friend Aris is really a very good man, and if you fall off that wall he's going to hang for it, and so will his squad, most of whom are also nice men, and though I can't say I really care if your attendants hang, there are probably many people that do care, and would you please, please get down?" The king looked at him, eyes narrowed. "I don't think I've ever heard you say that many words in a row. You soun.. | Megan Whalen Turner | ||
| 92545b5 | It's funny how, even long after you've accepted the grief of losing someone you love and truly have gotten on with your life, every once in a while something comes up that plays "gotcha," and for a moment or tow the car tissue seperates and the wound is raw again." | Mary Higgins Clark | ||
