| 1c1c1f6 | No hay que dejar de crear solo porque lo que se cree no sea util. A veces la belleza y la magia son razones suficientes | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| 62b13fd | We're in her bedroom,and she's helping me write an essay about my guniea pig for French class. She's wearing soccer shorts with a cashmere sweater, and even though it's silly-looking, it's endearingly Meredith-appropriate. She's also doing crunches. For fun. "Good,but that's present tense," she says. "You aren't feeding Captain Jack carrot sticks " "Oh. Right." I jot something down, but I'm not thinking about verbs. I'm trying to figure ou.. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| b17bc61 | You're fixing everything I set down." He nods at my hands, which are readjusting the elephant. "It wasn't polite of me to come in and start touching your things." "Oh,it's okay," I say quickly, letting go of the figurine. "You can touch anything of mine you want." He freezes. A funny look runs across his face before I realize what I've said. I didn't mean it like . Not that " | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| f9f4a18 | Victor Noir. He was a journalist shot by Pierre Bonaparte," St. Clair says, as if that explains anything. He pulls The Hat up off his eyes. "The statue on his grave is supposed to help...fertility." "His wang us rubbed shiny," Josh elaborates. "For luck." "Why are we talking about parts again?" Mer asks. "Can't we ever talk about anything else?" "Really?" I ask. "Shiny wang?" "Very," St. Clair says. "Now that's something I've gotta see." I.. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| 9103ad2 | Historia personal. Como porque St. Clair siempre corria de vuelta a Ellie, yo asumi que lo hizo otra vez. ?Es eso? Y ?El hizo eso? Ya no estoy segura. He pasado mi todo ultimo ano sofocada entre lujuria y dolor, extasis y traicion, y solamente cada vez se hace mas dificil ver la verdad. ?Cuantas veces nuestras emociones pueden estar atadas a alguien mas (ser jaladas, apretadas y retorcidas) antes de que se rompan? ?Antes de que ya no se pue.. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| 87c946d | Josh and Rashmi are making out-I can actually see tongue-so I turn to my bread and grapes.How biblical of me. The grapes are smaller than I'm used to, and the skin is slightly textured. Is that dirt? I dip my napkin in water and dab at the tiny purple globes. It helps, but they're still sort of rough. Hmm. St. Clair and Meredith stop talking. I glance up to find them staring at me in matching bemusement. "What?" "Nothing," he says. "Continu.. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| d905140 | Why can't we sit together? What's the point of seat reservations,anyway? The bored woman calls my section next,and I think terrible thoughts about her as she slides my ticket through her machine. At least I have a window seat. The middle and aisle are occupied with more businessmen. I'm reaching for my book again-it's going to be a long flight-when a polite English accent speaks to the man beside me. "Pardon me,but I wonder if you wouldn't .. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| 02ad071 | He's gleeful to know something I don't. Which is annoying considering we're both aware that he knows everything about Parisian life, whereas I have the savvy of a chocolate croissant. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| ddaba38 | Nice strawberries. Shut up. No, I mean it. Cute. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| 097eb09 | I'm just as big a fool as the rest of them. | ya-contemporary ya-contemporary-romance ya-lit | Stephanie Perkins | |
| d360583 | Why are people so afraid to leave a relationship, even if they know it's a bad one? | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| b5c396d | I look down, and I'm surprised to find myself standing in the middle of a small stone circle. In the center, directly between my feet, is a coppery-bronze octagon with a star. Words are engraved in the stone around it: "Mademoiselle Oliphant. It translates to 'Point zero of the roads of France.' In other words, it's the point from which all other distances in France are measured." St. Clair clears his throat. "It's the beginning of everyth.. | love paris | Stephanie Perkins | |
| da57f1a | It's not right. It hasn't been right, not since I met you. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| 90aec24 | You're so bad at good-byes, he whispers in my ear. Which is true. There is an average of about forty-seven minutes between the time we first type "goodnight" and the moment we actually stop sending our words back and forth." | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| cf696c7 | Outside, there may be reindeer that fly across the moon. Outside, there may be questions with the wrong answers and lies that are better to tell. Outside, it may be cold. But I am here. I am here, and he is here, and everything I need to know is that I will hold him and he will hold me until I am warm again, until I know I belong. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| 9d8de07 | Fairmont wasn't a place where we'd usually spend the afternoon. It was full of overpriced boutiques, overpriced coffee, and Mossley Academy, which was full of overpriced assholes. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| 4442b8d | Color me intrigued, Martin. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| 13348f1 | He was the god of tide-lap and wingbeat, talon and pearl. She was the goddess of ... herself. And he could not look away from her. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| 05bf5c0 | el comportamiento humano no es razonable. Ni predecible. Ni siquiera satisfactorio. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| 9b3d455 | Josh: St. Clair and Anna are one of those couples that seem like they were made for each other. Instant friendship, instant chemistry. He was obsessed with her from the moment they met. She was the only thing he ever wanted to talk about. Still is, actually. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| 8b59846 | Is it possible for home to be a person and not a place? Bridgette used to be home to me. Maybe St. Clair is my new home. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| c62abc3 | Love can be so strange and sad. It can be hard to understand why we run toward certain people and away from others at different times in our lives. Why we search so hard for that thing we are looking for, and then run so fast when we find it. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| d4c96ab | People should say what they mean to say and not make other people stumble around. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| 9ef025a | The person she liked best didn't like her enough to want more of her, and she didn't want to pretend that wasn't awful. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| 65a5696 | I don't want to give you this broken, empty me. I want you to have me when I'm , when I can give something to you. I don't have much to give right now. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| e32f6e9 | Put this on your list of things to know: the combination of tinsel, baby angel wings, and manger hay burns like weed at a Miley Cyrus concert. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| 4d5a5eb | Hay algo respecto a los ojos azules. El tipo de azul que te sorprende cada vez que es'tan viendo en tu direccion. El tipo de azul que te provoca dolor deseando que te miren de nevo. No azul verde o azul gris, el azul que es solo azul. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| 01ba413 | When people come into our lives at just the right time to give us the answers we need, we should give them money. | James Redfield | ||
| 8cea6a9 | creatures smart enough and unlucky enough to have figured out we're alive, and we're going to die without ever knowing any purpose. We can pretend all we want and we can wish all we want, but that basic existential fact remains--we can't know. | James Redfield | ||
| 998357f | In my mind, when I look at these fields, I say to her, "See?...See?" and I think she does. I hope later she will see and feel a thing about these prairies I have given up talking to others about; a thing that exists here because everything else does not and can be noticed because other things are absent. She seems so depressed sometimes by the monotony and boredom of her city life, I thought maybe in this endless grass and wind she would se.. | Robert M. Pirsig | ||
| ccbdf89 | It's so hard when contemplated in advance, and so easy when you do it. | Robert M. Pirsig | ||
| 10a84e8 | We're headed for the South Pole!" Gazzy jumped over the low threshold into our room from the boys' room next door. "And it's, like, so far south that it's the bottom of the whole world." | James Patterson | ||
| c111c1e | To just lie there and feel vulnerable, and think about everything that had just happened between us, and wonder how it had changed things, and wonder when I had started to love him so much, so painfully, and feel how terrified I was and how elated, and how every cell of my body felt so alive. It was pretty much the worst thing that could ever happen to a girl. I highly recommend it. | James Patterson | ||
| 2b49643 | My dear, there is no universal secret. There's only the secret each writer discovers for herself. The path forward | James Patterson | ||
| 82fcd21 | Keep your small mind open," said Nana, wagging a crooked pinkie finger at Jannie. "That's if you ever want it to grow bigger and don't want to remain a small person all your life." | James Patterson | ||
| 0dbb24b | But let's face it: Understanding me--I mean, really understanding me and my nutty life--isn't so easy. That's why it's so hard for me to find people I can trust. The truth is, I don't know who I can trust. So mostly I don't trust anybody. Except my mom, Jules. (Most of the time, anyway.) | James Patterson | ||
| 8529d0a | IF YOU ASK ME A PERSON DOESNT GET ENOUGH SURPRISES IN A LIFE TIME. | love surprise | James Patterson | |
| 28da8f3 | If I could run the world, I'd find another way to treat most of these criminals--most of them, not all of them--but we find widespread solutions to widespread problems in this country, so we just build big prisons and stick everyone inside them and, for the most part, forget about them once they're gone. Noah | James Patterson | ||
| bdb4ce6 | When I was growing up, my mom used to tell my sister and me about a leprechaun with a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow. But she never mentioned a Russian Neanderthal with a bag of diamonds at the end of a bloody trail in a train station | killer mafia russian | James Patterson | |
