| 392e24e | But as I have noticed on more than one occaision, life itself is unfair, and there is no complaint department, so we might as well accept things the way they happen, clean up the mess, and move on. | dexter inspirational complain | Jeff Lindsay | |

| 831ed68 | And no one will kill Bill." I laughed softly as I unbuckled the seat belt. "Blake. His name is Blake." Daemon pulled the keys out and leaned back, his eyes glimmering with amusement. "He's whatever I decide to call him." | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| e04f3fd | It is a law of nature we overlook, that intellectual versatility is the compensation for change, danger, and trouble. An animal perfectly in harmony with its environment is a perfect mechanism. Nature never appeals to intelligence until habit and instinct are useless. There is no intelligence where there is no change and no need of change. Only those animals partake of intelligence that have a huge variety of needs and dangers. | change strength intelligence | H.G. Wells | |
| 3cba89f | Think long and hard about how you proceed, Nico di Angelo. You cannot lie to Cupid. If you let your anger rule you... well, your fate will be even sadder then mine. | favonius heroes-of-olympus percy-jackson house-of-hades nico-di-angelo | Rick Riordan | |
| 48fa2eb | As for Percy, he held his magic ballpoint pen like he was trying to decide whether to bust out some sword moves or autograph Nike's chariot. | leo-valdez | Rick Riordan | |
| 1929e2a | There will be guards," Bast said. "And traps. And alarms. You can bet the house is heavily charmed to keep out gods." "Magicians can do that?" I asked. I imagined a big can of pesticide labeled God-Away." | Rick Riordan | ||
| 321f929 | Don't judge someone until you've stood at his forge and worked with his hammer, eh? | percy-jackson | Rick Riordan | |
| c0d1996 | Poseidon raised his eyebrows as they shook hands. "Blowfish, did you say?" "Ah, no. Blofis, actually." "Oh, I see," Poseidon said. "A shame. I quite like blowfish. I am Poseidon." "Poseidon? That's an interesting name." "Yes, I like it. I've gone by other names, but I do prefer Poseidon." "Like the god of the sea." "Very much like that, yes." | poseidon | Rick Riordan | |

| 3d710b6 | Tell them stories. | harpies lyra | Philip Pullman | |
| 869fb40 | Because memory and sensations are so uncertain, so biased, we always rely on a certain reality-call it an alternate reality-to prove the reality of events. To what extent facts we recognize as such really are as they seem, and to what extent these are facts merely because we label them as such, is an impossible distinction to draw. Therefore, in order to pin down reality as reality, we need another reality to relativize the first. Yet that .. | mind reality | Haruki Murakami | |
| 8be5fd8 | All right you bloody Scottish bastard, lets see how stubborn you really are. | outlander | Diana Gabaldon | |
| e19dcca | Time is a lot of the things people say that God is. There's always preexisting, and having no end. There's the notion of being all powerful-because nothing can stand against time, can it? Not mountains, not armies. And time is, of course, all-healing. Give anything enough time, and everything is taken care of: all pain encompassed, all hardship erased, all loss subsumed. Ashes to ashes, dust to dust. Remember, man, that thou art dust; and u.. | Diana Gabaldon | ||
| 7b5b3a7 | Have read little and understood less. | James Joyce | ||
| e8d20b6 | God, who needs nothing, loves into existence wholly superfluous creatures in order that He may love and perfect them. He creates the universe, already foreseeing - or should we say "seeing"? there are no tenses in God - the buzzing cloud of flies about the cross, the flayed back pressed against the uneven stake, the nails driven through the mesial nerves, the repeated incipient suffocation as the body droops, the repeated torture of back an.. | god love cross christ | C.S. Lewis | |
| 45efaa1 | I'm mad about the waste that happens when people who love each other can't even bring themselves to talk. | Alice Walker | ||
| 5b98933 | We're not naked, we're skyclad! | kelley-armstrong pagan | Kelley Armstrong | |

| ad30bd5 | For the first time in a long time I thought about Maman. I felt as if I understood why at the end of her life she had taken a 'fiance,' why she had played at beginning again. Even there, in that home where lives were fading out, evening was a kind of wistful respite. So close to death, Maman must have felt free then and ready to live it all again. Nobody, nobody had the right to cry over her. And I felt ready to live it all again too. | Albert Camus | ||
| ef7815d | Yes, because a vampire slumber party is the pinnacle of safety conscious behavior. | funny sarcastic | Stephenie Meyer | |
| 4b2d5f0 | His gold eyes grew very soft. "You said you loved me." "You knew that already," I reminded him, ducking my head. "It was nice to hear, just the same." I hid my face against his shoulder. "I love you," I whispered. "You are my life now," he answered simply. There was nothing more to say for the moment. He rocked us back and forth as the room grew lighter." | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| d5175fb | I didn't know then what I wanted, but the ache for it was palpable. | Sue Monk Kidd | ||
| 4b23a50 | It takes very little to govern good people. Very little. And bad people cant be governed at all. Or if they could I never heard of it. | Cormac McCarthy | ||
| 463b722 | Modern industrial civilization has developed within a certain system of convenient myths. The driving force of modern industrial civilization has been individual material gain, which is accepted as legitimate, even praiseworthy, on the grounds that private vices yield public benefits in the classic formulation. | chomsky anarchism brainwashing indoctrination authority propaganda democracy | Noam Chomsky | |

| 9c91a71 | I'm the last one in the dark, until- suddenly- it happens. St. Clair removes something from his pocket. And then he gets down on one knee. Anna's entire body lights with shock and joy and love. She nods a vigorous yes. St. Clair places the ring on her finger. He stands, she throws her arms around him, and they kiss. He spins her in a circle. They kiss again. Deep, hungry, long. And then he turns to us and waves- with the biggest smile I've .. | love st-clair | Stephanie Perkins | |

| a2c78a4 | I pray every night that I may live after him; because I would rather be miserable than that he should be -- that proves I love him better than myself. | Emily Brontë | ||
| 1a449e8 | Love is like the wild rose-briar; Friendship like the holly-tree. The holly is dark when the rose-briar blooms, but which will bloom most constantly? | friendship love constancy roses companionship | Emily Brontë | |
| c99216b | When the dead are done with the living, the living can go on to other things," Franny said. "What about the dead?" I asked. "Where do we go?" | Alice Sebold | ||
| 54e9db1 | You cannot say to the sun, or to the rain, To a man, geisha can only be half a wife. We are the wives of nightfall.
