| 10b3fe3 | Eva, on the other hand, forfeited her edge without hesitation. Despite her ingrained insecurity about her eyes and a history of outsiders devaluing her because of them, she openly professed her brokenness and offered it as a gift to strangers. | Karen Witemeyer | ||

| 62912d2 | Since the accuracy rate for the fulfillment of Bible prophecy so far has been 100%, we can be confident that it will continue to be so. No other religion in the world has such confirming evidence to inspire its faith. | Tim LaHaye | ||
| 01c09dd | Don't be defeated by one defeat. | Tim LaHaye | ||
| 2736a8d | Like Jerry Falwell and [Tim] LaHaye, [Pat] Robertson is a minister who advocates a Bible-based, pro-family agenda. Robertson, a faith healer, also claims to have controlled the course of a hurricane by directing it away from his headquarters. | Jeff Sharlet | ||
| 112d280 | I'm saying the American way is to overcome, to conquer, to come out on top. And we do it by spending and eating and screwing our women harder than anyone else. That's all I'm saying. | united-states | Neil LaBute | |
| 24a0345 | Author's Note Caroline is a marriage of fact and Laura Ingalls Wilder's fiction. I have knowingly departed from Wilder's version of events only where the historical record stands in contradiction to her stories. Most prominently: Census records, as well as the Ingalls family Bible, demonstrate that Caroline Celestia Ingalls was born in Rutland Township, Montgomery County, Kansas on August 3, 1870. (Wilder, not anticipating writing a sequel .. | Sarah Miller | ||
| 565ea7c | Like most girls, I want a lot. Fame and fortune. Equal rights. Shoes no one else has. But I'd trade all that in for the perfect guy. (Don't tell me there's something wrong with that. I don't know of a single person who doesn't spend most of her time thinking about love.) Anyway, ever since I could think, I have been imagining and reimagining the exact sort of boy I want to love and who would love me back. Basically, I imagine someone who ha.. | women | Sarah Miller | |
| a75f118 | Guys are always confused by how soft and sentimental they are. | men | Sarah Miller | |
| b6058c7 | I began to wonder if what makes men walk so lordlike and speak so masterfully is having the love of women. If that was it, Sarah and I would make lords of each other. | lgbtqa love | Isabel Miller | |
| 8d0c04e | Who is this cautious unhoping young woman? Where is the hero who bore such batterings for love and stood up before witnesses to ask me to be a hero too? And I am a hero now. Can't you see? We can be an army of two. We can be Plato's perfect army: lovers, who will never behave dishonorably in each other's sight, and invincible. Let the world either kill us or grow accustomed to us; here we stand. | Isabel Miller | ||
| 7b463e6 | This process is like starting a fitness regimen for the brain. At the beginning, your muscles burn a little. But over time and with repetition, you become stronger, and the improvements you see in yourself can be remarkable. Becoming a better thinker, just like becoming a better athlete, requires practice. We challenge you to feel the burn. | Sarah Miller Beebe | ||
| 3501c9a | Their trust in her was built of thousands upon thousands of moments already past. She was Ma, and that in itself was enough. | Sarah Miller | ||
| 7390d87 | Why must they share their uncensored reactions?" She was referring to the corrosive criticism that wears couples down as they selectively attend to what bothers them in a partner rather than speaking to what they appreciate and admire. And she was referring to the raw, unbridled emotional exchanges that, when unchecked, erode intimacy and connection in family relationships." -- | Harriet Lerner | ||
| df068d0 | Change requires courage, but the failure to change does not signify the lack of it. | Harriet Lerner | ||
| cadcd08 | All the assertiveness training and communication skills in the world can't prevent a relationship from becoming fertile ground for silence and stonewalling, or for anger and frustration, or for just plain hard times. No book or expert can protect us from the range of painful emotions that make us human. We can influence the other person through our words and silence, but we can never control the outcome. That said, what we can | Harriet Lerner | ||
| 24f9df5 | One might debate whether it is preferable to be a cat or a person, but why get into it? If you are reading this now, you are not a cat and never will be. So along with the good days, you're going to experience the entire range of painful emotions that make us human. | Harriet Lerner | ||
| 59ed91c | Yet all of us are vulnerable to intense, nonproductive angry reactions in our current relationships if we do not deal openly and directly with emotional issues from our first family--in particular, losses and cutoffs. | Harriet Lerner | ||
| 2c40f1d | If only our passion to understand others were as great as our passion to be understood. Were this so, all our apologies would be truly meaningful and healing. | Harriet Lerner | ||
| 858f386 | The need for apologies and repair is a singularly human one---both on the giving and receiving ends. We are hardwired to seek justice and fairness (however we see it), so the need to receive a sincere apology that's due is deeply felt. We are also imperfect humans and prone to error and defensiveness, so the challenge of offering a heartfelt apology permeates almost every relationship. | Harriet Lerner | ||
| 183bb56 | Countless self-help books, blogs and seminars promise relief from suffering, when pain and suffering are as much part of life as happiness and joy.The only way to avoid being mistreated in this world is to fold up in a dark corner and stay mute. If you go outside, or let others in, you'll get hurt many times. Ditto if you've grown up in a family rather than begin raised by wolves. Some people will behave badly and will not apologize, repair.. | Harriet Lerner | ||
| 512de7e | Moving in this direction requires us to clarify--to ourselves and others--what's important to us. Having an authentic voice means that: We can openly share competence as well as problems and vulnerability. We can warm things up and calm them down. We can listen and ask questions that allow us to truly know the other person and to gather information about anything that may affect us. We can say what we think and feel, state differences, and .. | Harriet Lerner | ||
| 397a541 | Vice is ever most dangerous when lurking behind the Mask of Virtue. He | Matthew Gregory Lewis | ||

| 0b87ac6 | Avaunt! and quit my sight! Let the Earth hide thee! Thy bones are marrowless; thy blood is cold; Thou hast no speculation in those eyes Which Thou dost glare with! Hence, horrible shadow! Unreal mockery hence!* | Matthew Gregory Lewis | ||
| 9fb778f | You! whom Vanity's light bark conveys On Fame's mad voyage by the wind of praise, With what a shifting gale your course you ply, For ever sunk too low, or borne too high!

| 7140c49 | You have charms, Segnora, which might captivate the most insensible; No heart unoccupied could resist them. Happy is it for me that mine is no longer in my possession; or I should have to reproach myself for ever with having violated the Laws of Hospitality. | Matthew Gregory Lewis | ||
| 4cb3044 | By sad experience I know what sorrows She must endure, who marries into a family unwilling to receive her. | Matthew Gregory Lewis | ||
| ba49b89 | A serious dignity reigned upon her countenance, but was tempered by a grace and sweetness which rendered her truly enchanting. Lorenzo | Matthew Gregory Lewis | ||
| 8dba081 | Or make her blushing cheek a pillow for thy head | Matthew Lewis | ||
