| 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. | anarchism authority brainwashing chomsky democracy indoctrination propaganda | Noam Chomsky | |
| 31a7309 | I am very proud, revengeful, ambitious, with more offences at my beck than I have thoughts to put them in, imagination to give them shape, or time to act them in. | rage | William Shakespeare | |

| 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 | |
| 479a826 | Gazzy, man, jeezum!" Fang exclaimed. "What the heck have you been eating for God's sake?" That was a smoke bomb!" Gazzy defended himself. "Not even i could fill this whole flippin' house!" | James Patterson | ||
| 28cfe92 | Yeah, and so Max and Dylan are supposed to, like, go to Germany and have kids together," I heard Gazzy say. My eyes popped open and I bolted upright. "What?" Fang said, his voice icy. | gazzy james-patterson maximum-ride | James Patterson | |
| 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? | companionship constancy friendship love roses | Emily Brontë | |
| 50cf732 | They say that Caliph Omar, when consulted about what had to be done with the library of Alexandria, answered as follows: 'If the books of this library contain matters opposed to the Koran, they are bad and must be burned. If they contain only the doctrine of the Koran, burn them anyway, for they are superfluous.' Our learned men have cited this reasoning as the height of absurdity. However, suppose Gregory the Great was there instead of Oma.. | alexandria caliph caliph-omar gospel gregory-the-great intolerance islam koran library library-of-alexandria pontiff quran science-vs-religion | Jean-Jacques Rousseau | |

| 8a0f54a | It took a qualified wizard to detect a summoning in progress. It required only a half-literate idiot with a twitch of power and a dim idea of how to use it to attempt one. Before you knew it, a three-headed Slavonic god was wreaking havoc in downtown Atlanta, the skies were raining winged snakes, and SWAT was screaming for more ammo. | Ilona Andrews | ||

| 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 intelligence strength | H.G. Wells | |

| 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 | |
| ec79edc | There are moments in life that the white-chocolate Magnum ice cream was invented for, and this is one of them. | Sophie Kinsella | ||

| 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.. | christ cross god love | C.S. Lewis | |
| 953dace | But man is a fickle and disreputable creature and perhaps, like a chess-player, is interested in the process of attaining his goal rather than the goal itself. | fiction russian russian-literature | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |
| f07a597 | Owning a dog is slightly less expensive than being addicted to crack. | Jen Lancaster | ||
| 013b011 | The road of life is strewn with the bodies of promising people. People who show promise, yet lack the confidence to act. People who make promises they are unable to keep. People who promise to do tomorrow what they could do today. Promising young stars, athletes, entrepreneurs who wait for promises to come true. Promise without a goal and a plan is like a barren cow. You know what she could do if she could do it, but she can't. Turn your pr.. | goals-in-life inspirational | Iyanla Vanzant | |
| a4be6ae | I agree to the conditions, Angel; because you know best what my punishment ought to be; only - only - don't make it more than I can bear! | Thomas Hardy | ||
