| 748390c | Her mother would be appalled, but she wouldn't say anything. She would just telegraph her distress with tightened lips and raised brows. She was good at that. Clemmie's mother's brows were better than sign language, complicated concepts conveyed with the minimum of movement. | Lauren Willig | ||

| ffeec29 | That's a good point, I suppose,' he said in that way people have when you've just said something that's so off the mark it might as well be in Sanskrit, but they like you, so they want to make something positive out of it so they can give you the credit you both know you don't deserve. | Lauren Willig | ||
| cb2b159 | I'm not your gilded prince with the gilded chairs, Letty," Geoff said simply. "I couldn't be if I tried." "I wouldn't want you to be." Letty's voice felt rusty. "I'm not particularly bold or dashing or heroic. I'm happier at my desk than in a black cloak. And I've never entirely mastered all the steps of the quadrille." He looked soberly down at her. "But what I am is yours, if you'll still have me." | Lauren Willig | ||
| 51edefb | Up close, she could see the sharp, cold, look that she constantly shot at Mr. Treviso, particularly when there was a break, and she was waiting to come in. It shattered illusion for Mildred. She preferred to remain at a distance, to enjoy this child as she seemed, rather than as she was. | James M. Cain | ||
| 5804e2d | Veda began it, but when she finished it, or whether she finished it, Mildred never quite knew. Little quivers went through her and they kept going through her the rest of the night, during the supper party, when Veda sat with the white scarf wound around her throat, during the brief half hour, while she undressed Veda, and put the costume away; in the dark, while she lay there alone, trying to sleep, not wanting to sleep. This was the clima.. | James M. Cain | ||
| 1e4e4d9 | With this money I can get away from you. From you and your chickens and your pies and your kitchens and everything that smells of grease. I can get away from this shack with its cheap furniture, and this town and its dollar days, and its women that wear uniforms and its men that wear overalls. You think just because you've made a little money you can get a new hairdo and some expensive clothes and turn yourself into a lady. But you can't, b.. | James M. Cain | ||

| 8202cc6 | In addition, build dependencies may not be the same as test dependencies, and you may need separate hierarchies. | Andrew Hunt | ||
| 912625c | Don't leave "broken windows" (bad designs, wrong decisions, or poor code) unrepaired. Fix each one as soon as it is discovered. If there is insufficient time to fix it properly, then board it up. Perhaps you can comment out the offending code, or display a "Not Implemented" message, or substitute dummy data instead. Take some action to prevent further damage and to show that you're on top of the situation." | Andrew Hunt | ||
| 453eab0 | More testing should be done automatically. It's important to note that by "automatically" we meant that the test /results/ are interpreted automatically as well." | Andrew Hunt | ||

| 61a4cc3 | His men howled with him. They were caught up in Baird's madness. At this hour, under the fire of the sun and emboldened by the arrack and rum they had drunk in their long wait in the trenches, the redcoats and sepoys had become gods of war. They gave death with impunity as they followed a warmaddened Scotsman down an enemy wall that was sticky with blood. Baird would have his city or else he would die in its dust. | Bernard Cornwell | ||
| 0dbcc25 | Do you ever read the scriptures?" "Every day," I said enthusiastically, "not a moment passes that I don't have a quick read of Ieremias or dip into Ezekiel." She smiled, amused. "What a barbarian you are!" | ezekiel ieremias momento read scriptures | Bernard Cornwell | |

| bc3bd4b | it has been your thoughts that have made you feel alternately weak and strong.' My guru looked at me affectionately. 'You have seen how your health has exactly followed your subconscious expectations. Thought is a force, even as electricity or gravitation. The human mind is a spark of the almighty consciousness of God. I could show you that whatever your powerful mind believes very intensely would instantly come to pass.'

| 93aecc5 | How admirable is the Western method of submitting all theory to scrupulous experimental verification! That empirical procedure has gone hand in hand with the gift for introspection which is my Eastern heritage. Together they have enabled me to sunder the silences of natural realms long uncommunicative. The telltale charts of my crescograph 49 are evidence for the most skeptical that plants have a sensitive nervous system and a varied emotio.. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||

| 07c1767 | An old song surfaced in my memories. Love is all you need. Maybe, but in real life love was rarely all you got. Raphael and I also had pride, and guilt, and anger, jealousy and hurt feelings, | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 3c250e2 | Kriya Yoga is a simple, psychophysiological method by which human blood is decarbonated and recharged with oxygen. The atoms of this extra oxygen are transmuted into life current to rejuvenate the brain and spinal centres.

| bb0bae5 | Hello, sunshine," said Jim's voice. "I'm kind of busy." I turned the file on its side and examined the doodle. Still nothing. "No shit," he said. "Yeah. No gigs for me." "That's not why I'm calling." I frowned at the phone and turned the file upside down. "I'm all ears." "Someone wants to meet you," he said. "Tell him to get in line," I mumbled. The doodle almost looked like something. "I'm not joking." "You never joke because you're too d.. | Ilona Andrews | ||

| 874548e | My mother stared at the ceiling. "Did you hear that?" "Hear what?" I asked, my eyes wide. I would kill Jim. He could sit completely motionless for hours when on stakeouts. I'd seen him do it. He had to be dropping things on purpose. Thud! "That!" My mother turned predatory like a raptor. "What was that?" Lie, think of something quick, lie, lie . . . "I've got a cat." "What kind of a cat?" My mother's eyes narrowed. "A big one." "I" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 81357d9 | Ya veo... ?Jim esta contigo en este momento? -Si. Nos lo estamos montando a lo bestia y nos has interrumpido. Colgue. (...) Volvia a sumergirme en el mundo de los suenos, con la almohada eh la cabeza para bloquear el persistente y molesto haz de luz, cuando oi que una llave giraba en la cerradura. La puerta se abrio. La unica persona que tenia llave de mi apartamento era el encargado, y nunca entraria sin avisar. Me levante rapidamente y la.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| b5aefc2 | Como has conseguido entrar? - Tengo mis recursos. Cai en la cuenta. El habia reemplazado mi puerta hacia dos meses, porque yo estaba bastante ocupada intentando no morir. - Te quedaste una llave de mi apartamento. Capullo. ?Cuantas veces has entrado? - De vez en cuando. -?Por que? - Para saber que estas bien. Me ahorra el tiempo de sentarme junto al telefono a esperar una de tus llamadas de auxilio. -No tienes por que preocuparte: no va a h.. | Ilona Andrews | ||

Tu eres un monstruo psicopata del control. Pretendes darme ordenes y yo deseo matarte. Soy una idiota insubordinada y cabezota. Te vuelvo loco y tu quieres estrangularme. -!Una vez! !Solo lo intente una vez! -Una es mas que suficiente. La cuestion es que no jugamos limpio. Nosotros... Libero.. | Ilona Andrews | ||

I distinctly remember 'never see that arrogant asshole again' and 'over my dead body.'" "Spring Meet was optional." After working with the Pack to dispatch the Red Point Stalker, I was granted the Friend of the Pack status, which apparently came with such benefits as being invited to c.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 5474a73 | So that's the secret," the Beast Lord said. I froze with the spoon halfway to my mouth. That was it. He had figured out what I was and now he was playing with me. "You okay?" he asked. "Gone a bit pale there." In a moment he would drop the charade and rip me to pieces. If I was lucky. "Secret to what?" "Secret to shutting you up," he said. "I just have to beat you till you're half-dead, then give you chicken soup and"--he raised his hands--.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 37018ad | You're going to tell me what you've blundered into." It wasn't a question, but I determined to take it as such. "No." "No?" "No." He crossed his arms on his chest, making his carved biceps bulge. I vividly remembered those steel-hard biceps flexing as he hoisted me up off the floor by my throat. "You know what I like about you? You have no sense. You sit here in my house, you can barely hold a spoon, and you're telling me 'no.' You'd pull .. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| f50f9ee | Curran smiled. "What's so funny?" "Your panties have a bow," he said. I looked down. I was wearing a short tank top--not mine--and my blue panties with a narrow white strip of lace at the top and a tiny white bow. Would it have killed me to check what I was wearing before I pulled the blanket down? "What's wrong with bows?" "Nothing." He was grinning now. "I expected barbed wire. Or one of those steel chains." Wiseass. "I'm secure enough i.. | Ilona Andrews | ||

| 19b67f2 | How much farther?" Derek asked. "Patience is a virtue," Ghastek advised. "Lecturing a wolf about patience is unwise." That was the first time Derek condescended to addressing Ghastek directly, and his face plainly showed he felt quite soiled by having to stoop so low. "Should I find myself speaking to an animal for some bewildering reason, I'll take it under advisement." The magic hit, so thick my heart skipped a beat. Derek clenched his te.. | Ilona Andrews |
