| b39bffa | I don't wonder anymore what I'll tell God when I go to heaven when we sit in the chairs under the tree, outside the city........I'll tell these things to God, and he'll laugh, I think and he'll remind me of the parts I forgot, the parts that were his favorite. We'll sit and remember my story together, and then he'll stand and put his arms around me and say, "well done," and that he liked my story. And my soul won't be thirsty anymore.

| 335f42e | The truth of life is that every year we get farther away from the essence that is born within us. We get shouldered with burdens, some of them good, some of them not so good. Things happen to us. Loved ones die. People get in wrecks and get crippled. People lose their way, for one reason or another. It's not hard to do, in this world of crazy mazes. Life itself does its best to take that memory of magic away from us. You don't know its happ.. | Robert R. McCammon | ||

| 9378a0a | If I'd learnt one thing from travelling, it was that the way to get things done was to go ahead and do them. Don't talk about going to Borneo. Book a ticket, get a visa, pack a bag, and it just happens. | Alex Garland | ||
| f69b3c2 | Alex decided he'd had enough. He put down his knife. "All right," he said. "You've made it pretty clear that you don't want to work with me. Well, that's fine. Because I don't want to work with you either. And for what it's worth, nobody would ever believe you were my mom because no mom would ever behave like you." "Alex...," Carver began. "Forget it! I'm going back to London. And if you're Mr. Byrne asks why, you can tell him I didn't li.. | Anthony Horowitz | ||
| 2696ee9 | There's nothing like a bunch of catty teenagers who could either kick your ass halfway across the country or set you on fire with a mere thought. That alone changed who people picked fights with or became friends with. And at the end of the day, it was always good to have a firestarter in your back pocket. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| 2baf4c5 | Wisdom's daughter walks alone--" "Ella!" Frank stood suddenly. "Maybe it's not the best time--" Ella continued, cupping her hands over her ears and raising her voice.

If possible, try to avoid pushing each other over the edge, as that would cause me extra paperwork. | Rick Riordan | ||

| 6c46f03 | Every love relationship rests on an unwritten agreement unthinkingly concluded by the lovers in the first weeks of their love. They are still in a kind of dream but at the same time, without knowing it, are drawing up, like uncompromising lawyers, the detailed clauses of their contract. O lovers! Be careful in those dangerous first days! Once you've brought breakfast in bed you'll have to bring it forever, unless you want to be accused of l.. | Milan Kundera | ||
| a4ca813 | For alarmingly large chunks of an average day, I am a moron. | Nick Hornby | ||

| 834aca9 | The great difficulty is to get modern audiences to realize that you are preaching Christianity solely and simply because you happen to think it true; they always suppose you are preaching it because you like it or think it good for society or something of that sort. Now a clearly maintained distinction between what the Faith actually says and what you would like it to have said or what you understand or what you personally find helpful or t.. | C. S. Lewis | ||
| 46679ee | The prisons in the United States had long been an extreme reflection of the American system itself: the stark life differences between rich and poor, the racism, the use of victims against one another, the lack of resources of the underclass to speak out, the endless "reforms" that changed little. Dostoevski once said: "The degree of civilization in a society can be judged by entering its prisons." It had long been true, and prisoners knew .. | justice-system | Howard Zinn | |

| fdead87 | Everyone knows that quote because of the Doors." Jace looked at her blankly. "The Doors. They were a band." "If you say so," he said. "I suppose you don't have much time for enjoying music," Clary said, thinking of Simon, for whom music was his entire life, "in your line of work." He shrugged.

Just because I'm Jewish doesn't mean I've memorized the Old Testament.' It's the Writing on the Wall.

"Jace told Clary once you'd walk all over me in high-heeled boots." "That was then. You're different now." She eyed him. "You're not scared of me." He touched her face. "A nd you're not scared of anything." "I don't know." Her hair fell forward. "Maybe you'll b r eak my heart."

| 0143955 | The places we have known do not belong solely to the world of space in which we situate them for our greater convenience. They were only a thin slice among contiguous impressions which formed our life at that time; the memory of a certain image is but regret for a certain moment; and houses, roads, avenues are as fleeting, alas, as the years. | Marcel Proust | ||
