| 8d40892 | she found herself staring at a large puddle of some kind of fuzz-covered mud. Her mind barely registered it at first, but the more she gazed at the odd-looking mud, the more it drew her attention. The mud was dark and tar-like. Just above the surface, almost as if it were suspended in midair, there was a fuzzy yellowish-brown scum. | Louis Sachar | ||

| 30a383f | The urge to communicate is even stronger than the sex drive," Trapp said. "Why do you think people gossip so much? Why can't we keep secrets? Why have we invented the printing press, the telephone, the Internet? It's so ideas can grow and reproduce. Our bodies, our brains, are just machines that ideas use for a while, then toss aside when they wear out." | Louis Sachar | ||

| 40c99c7 | He found that when the Montreal Canadiens ice hockey team--once described as the national team of French Canada--got knocked out of the playoffs early between 1951 and 1992, Quebecois males aged fifteen to thirty-four became more likely to kill themselves. Robert Fernquist, a sociologist at the University of Central Missouri, went further. He studied thirty American metropolitan areas with professional sports teams from 1971 to 1990 and sho.. | Simon Kuper | ||
| d3e12a1 | validation (in the context of interpersonal skills, anyway) is the act of recognizing and affirming the validity or worth of a person's emotions. Essentially, validation means saying to someone, "I hear you. I get what you're feeling, and it's perfectly alright to feel that way." Effective validation has two components: It identifies a specific emotion It offers justification for feeling that emotion" -- | Michael S. Sorensen | ||

| afa1823 | I learned something in the years I spent among suicide bombers. . . The boys and girls who are willing to blow up their lives are not the true believers. They are the ones in agonies of doubt. There is always someone with nothing to prove who buckles the belt around them. | Sheri Holman | ||
| ee44367 | God must feel the same at the end of a long day. Stop trying to make Me happy with all that ritual up and down, all the good works and psychic genuflecting. All the good works in the world will not bring you and closer to Me. Stand still. Let Me look at you and find Myself reflected. Maybe for a brief moment, you thought it was all about you, but surprise, Creation. It is all about Me. | Sheri Holman | ||
| edaa605 | You don't want to be comforted, do you?" he asks, sadly. "You'd rather be guilty. You know they made up the idea of original sin not to punish but to console us. When all the incomprehensible shit goes down, we can blame ourselves, it was something we did or didn't do. Without guilt, we are irrelevant. And that is so much worse." | original-sin | Sheri Holman | |
| f197393 | If she'd spaced her children out and had eleven babies in eleven years, she would have been no better than her own mother and sisters: irresponsible, a welfare cheat, another bit of Sawdust Lane white trash. But as luck would have it, she'd had them all at once, and now she was, overnight, middle-class. And respectable. | Sheri Holman | ||

| 041449b | H]e went ahead and named them without her, pulling from the spiral notebook of names they'd been collecting, putting together first and middle names with no rhyme or reason . . . names that obviously didn't flow. | Sheri Holman | ||
| 59e694e | He loved that she eschewed cursive for print, as he did. Cursive, more than anything, betrayed a person's age. | Sheri Holman | ||
| ecc384b | Polly had always marveled . . . that her country would name such a processed and unnatural product [American cheese] after itself, yet hungry Rose . . . gleefully ate every individually wrapped, plastic little one of them. | Sheri Holman | ||
| 5075c71 | Secrets are always hardest at the beginning. After a while they settle in like the cavities in your teeth, and you only think about them when they hurt. | Sheri Holman | ||
| 64f6c99 | This is what making love must be like, she thinks. At twelve years old, she understands little more than that it will begin with loss - the loss of virginity, the loss of innocence - but that at some point there stands to be a gain. | Sheri Holman | ||
| 69f453b | I slept a lot. Which I liked, because being unconscious meant not remembering. | Barbara Haworth-Attard | ||
| c146c06 | She cringed when she saw she needed a bikini wax - and cringed that she even got them in the first place. It wasn't the pain. It was the whole idea she was raising her daughter in a world where pubic hair was a problem. | Chris Bohjalian | ||
