| 9558801 | Next to me Arabella, wearing the same outfit I did, pursed her lips together and took a selfie. Ugh. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 2985bf8 | I really would like to know," he said with genuine curiosity. "The next time I kill someone, I'd like to do it in a way that doesn't freak you out." "How" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 1242793 | I can make you feel touched." He paused. "It would be easier if I showed you. Do I have permission?" Yes. "No." Being touched by Mad Rogan wasn't a good idea. We kept walking. What would it be like?" "Does it hurt?" "No." How would it feel? Would it feel . . . oh hell. "Okay." I stopped. We were in front of a small alcove. Nobody was around. If I made an idiot out of myself, nobody would notice. "Just once." A soft burst of heat touched th.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 40b01b6 | I don't believe she sees him as family," Cornelius said. "She can see him however she wants. I only care how Rogan sees me." | nevada-baylor wildfire | Ilona Andrews | |
| 3ee2af3 | Alejandro opened his mouth "Marry Me!" "If she says Yes shoot him." Bern said to Leon, his face completely serious. "She'll thank us later." Bugg stirred in his seat. "Catalina! Do not marry this dickfucker! There are better birds in the sea!" He turned to my mom and said "Pardon my French." -- | Ilona Andrews | ||
| dce47aa | Even if we were mated, I have my own name and I made my own rep. I don't think the term 'mate' should trump everything I've done. I've earned more than that." Jim" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| dc8f11b | I'm curious, have you ever attempted to prevent her from doing what she wanted to do? I'd be delighted to hear how it went. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 1cfce38 | The smile died. It was like the sun being turned off. I felt like a moment of silence was in order. | smiles | Ilona Andrews | |
| f34f34c | Because you can't lie, Kate. Everything you think is right there on your face. I've met kindergarteners who are better actors than you. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 7921f12 | The trick here was indifference, I decided as I took my sweet time coming down the stairs. Act cool. Detached. Something potent and violent boiled inside me and I strained every nerve in my body to keep it on its chain. I could do this. I just had to stay cool. Zen. No punching in the face. Punching would not be Zen. The stairs ended. I wished I knew the jackass who'd made the staircase so short. I'd throw him down the damn steps so he coul.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| e5a2313 | Curran stalked into the room as if he owned it, turned, and crossed his arms on his chest. Biceps bulged, stretching the sleeves of his sweatshirt. If there was any justice in the world, he should've gone bald, lost all his teeth, and developed a terrible skin rash. But no, the bastard looked good. In perfect health. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| b06037f | Next to me, Saiman smiled. "We all want what we can't have, Kate. I want you, you want love, and he wants to break my neck." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 279e363 | The second message was from Andrea. "Hey. It's me. Raphael says that Curran's been a real bastard since about mid-November. He's in a bad mood. He's snarling at everything and everyone, and he stopped hearing petitions. The big items that have to be done get done, but no new projects have been approved. Raphael's been trying to get financing from the Pack to buy out a competing business. He says the last time he brought it up, Curran almost.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 6d28b21 | Protection of the cow means protection of the whole dumb creation of God. The appeal of the lower order of creation is all the more forceful because it is speechless." 6" | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| 48870a6 | Turning a corner, I ran into an old acquaintance--one of those long-winded fellows whose conversational powers ignore time and embrace eternity. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| 6f19c5c | La capacidad para discernir sobre la colocacion de una coma no remedia un estado de coma espiritual | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| e4eabf3 | Andrea exploded out of the staircase, her eyes huge. "Someone broke into Curran's private quarters in the Keep and welded his weight bench together. They also melted the lock on the room where he entertains his women. Was it you?" "He's making a big deal about never expecting me to behave like a shapeshifter. So I did." "Are you out of your mind?" It's not polite to lie to your best friend. "It's a possibility." "You challenged him. The who.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| e69dd38 | That's just perfect. I hung up and crossed my arms over my chest. When your butt is permanently attached to a chair, the only thing you can do is sit and hope to look professional. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 7bc3844 | A normal human would be dead of alcohol poisoning by now. He wanted to drive. "Give me the keys." He considered it and dangled the keys before me. "What do I get if I let you drive?" I felt the weight of someone's gaze, as if a sniper had sighted my back through a rifle scope. I turned. The building loomed about thirty yards away. The double glass doors leading to the balcony swung open, and Curran walked out. "What do I get if I let you dr.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| f5e91d2 | Curran lunged through the window He was huge, neither a man, nor a lion. Curran's usual warrior form stood upright. This creature moved on all fours. Enormous, bulging with muscle under a gray pelt striped with whip marks of darker gray, six hundred pounds at least. His head was lion, his eyes were human, and his fangs were monster. So that's what the Beast Lord with no brakes looked like. He landed on the floor of my living room. Muscles t.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 3d4c6e3 | I brushed my hand through his blond hair. "You're a fool, Your Furriness." Tiny gold sparks flared in his irises. "You're in my rooms in my bathtub naked and you're still mouthing off." Did he expect something different? "Hey, I didn't kick you or punch you in the throat. I consider this progress. And you haven't choked me again, which is some sort of record for you . . ." He grabbed me with a growl. "That's it. You're in for it." "Very sca.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 88cc4cd | Erra's gaze swept the crowd, taking in the archers, the Biohazard, the vans, the equipment, the audience up in the ruins nearby . . . She raised her arms to the sides. The cape slipped off her. Glossy red fabric hugged her body. It clung to her like a second skin of pure scarlet. My aunt apparently had developed a fetish for spandex. Who knew? Gale thrust his hand through his cloak. His fist gripped a large axe. The orange light of the flam.. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| fd4ebf6 | Is this my replacement?" What? "I didn't replace you!" "Of course not. I'm irreplaceable." Cornelius" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 07c8407 | Being human in our world is synonymous with being included into the framework of society. Humanity entitles one to certain rights and privileges, but also implies voluntary acceptance of laws and rules of conduct. It transcends mere biology. It's a choice and therefore belongs solely to the individual. In essence, if a person feels they are human, then they are. | humanity inhumanity | Ilona Andrews | |
| 170e55f | There was tartle, a Scottish word for the panicked pause you experience when you have to introduce someone, but you don't remember their name. There was backpafeifengesicht, a German term for a face you'd love to punch. There was gigil, a Filipino word for the urge to squeeze an item because it is unbearably cute. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 7089279 | If I came with you, I'd have to answer uncomfortable questions. I ask questions, I don't answer them." "What kind of questions?" "Why were you in a vehicle with Kate, alone? What were you wearing? What was she wearing? How long were you there? Did you do something or did you talk? What was the nature of your discussion? Could this trip have been avoided?" | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 587c23d | Arabella did not need backup. Most of the time she was the backup, the field artillery, and the air support, but Nevada taught me to always have an exit strategy. | sisters | Ilona Andrews | |
| ce07393 | Alike in soul though diverse in outer experience, neither West nor East will flourish if some form of disciplinary yoga be not practiced. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| 50ac241 | Moral: Attachment is blinding; it lends an imaginary halo of attractiveness to the object of desire. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| 5a72afd | The trivial preoccupations of daily life are not enough for man; wisdom too is a native hunger. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||
| caba270 | Yoga has been superficially misunderstood by certain Western writers, but its critics have never been its practitioners. Among many thoughtful tributes to yoga may be mentioned one by Dr. C. G. Jung, the famous Swiss psychologist. "When a religious method recommends itself as 'scientific,' it can be certain of its public in the West. Yoga fulfills this expectation," Dr. Jung writes (7). "Quite apart from the charm of the new, and the fascin.. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||

| 26a651c | Bernard: ... By the way, Valentina, do you want credit? - 'the game book recently discovered by.'? Valentine: It was never lost, Bernard. Bernard: 'As recently pointed out by.' I don't normally like giving credit where it's due, but with scholarly articles as with divorce, there is a certain cachet in citing a member of the aristocracy. I'll pop it in ad lib for the lecture, and give you a mention in the press release. How's that? Valentine.. | citation-protocol humor | Tom Stoppard | |

| 3b5862b | Christopher:] You cannot conceive of the quantity of explosives the armies throw at each other for each man killed! The shells make a continuous noise, sometimes like an enormous machine breaking apart. At other times, they come whistling towards you in a thoughtful sort of way and then go crump and the screw cap flies off, hurtling through the air, screaming. There's a kind of shell which comes with a crescendo like an express train, only .. | Tom Stoppard | ||
| a52ba33 | I have three copies of the first edition, which sold in double figures, speaking loosely; there was a moment when Blond's 'Lord Malquist and Mr Moon' sold 67 copies, or some such number, in Venezuela - a mystery I never solved. I have never been to Venezuela. I remember going into Foyles' bookshop in 1966 and being gratified to see a stack of Malquist-and-Moons on the New Fiction table. I counted them; there were twelve. A week or two later.. | Tom Stoppard | ||

| 58aab37 | But no matter which path we take, Nessa, there will always be trying times. Faith is believing that God has a plan for our lives even when things seem to be falling apart. Trust Him with all your heart, dear. Trust yourself. Your faith is bigger than you realize. | god inspirational | Kristiana Gregory | |
| 04da204 | The first known European book to describe the use of cryptography was written in the thirteenth century by the English Franciscan monk and polymath Roger Bacon. Epistle on the Secret Works of Art and the Nullity of Magic included seven methods for keeping messages secret, and cautioned: "A man is crazy who writes a secret in any other way than one which will conceal it from the vulgar." | Simon Singh |
