| 12a1971 | But again and again there comes a time in history when the man who dares to say that two and two make four is punished with death. The schoolteacher is well aware of this. And the question is not one of knowing what punishment or reward attends the making of this calculation. The question is one of knowing whether two and two do make four | Albert Camus | ||

| 933dc46 | To lose one's life is no great matter; when the time comes I'll have the courage to lose mine. But what's intolerable is to see one's life being drained of meaning, to be told there's no reason for existing. A man can't live without some reason for living. | Albert Camus | ||

| a408d60 | At that time, I often thought that if I had had to live in the trunk of a dead tree, with nothing to do but look up at the sky flowing overhead, little by little I would have gotten used to it. | meursault profound | Albert Camus | |

| bc80021 | I love it when he cocks an eyebrow whenever I say something he finds clever or amusing. I love listening to his boots clomp across my bedroom ceiling. I love that the accent over his first name is called an acute accent, and that he has a cute accent. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| ef299d7 | Death cannot stop true love. All it can do is delay it for a while. | William Goldman | ||
| 8f2197f | You leaned your head into mine, and I leaned my head into yours. Dancing cheek to cheek. Revolving slowly, eyes closed, heartbeat measure, nature's hum. It lasted the length of an old song, and then we stopped, kissed, and my heart stayed there, just like that. | David Levithan | ||
| 9991d70 | My objection to war was not that I had to kill somebody or be killed senselessly, that hardly mattered.

| 96fe518 | I've never seen such a collection of idiots in my whole life.' Doolittle shook his head. 'If you participate in this lunacy, y'all will get yourselves killed. Then don't come crying to me.' Now that would be a neat trick. | ilona-andrews kate-daniels magic-strikes | Ilona Andrews | |
| d4b40fb | Very well, I promise. So, what did you get for me?" Angeline paused for a beat. "Jeans." "What?" croaked Artemis. "And a T-shirt" ...Artemis took several breaths. "Does the T-shirt have any writing on it?" A rustling of paper crackled through the phone's speakers. "Yes, it's so cool.

| b2e9ef6 | I remember asking myself one night, while I was curled up in the same old corner of my same old couch in tears yet again over the same old repetition of sorrowful thoughts, 'Is there ANYTHING about this scene you can change, Liz?' And all I could think to do was stand up, whle still sobbing, and try to balance on one foot in the middle of the living room. Just to prove that - while I couldn't stop the tears or change my dismal interior dial.. | sadness | Elizabeth Gilbert | |

| 276aa51 | Without thinking, I moved again, reaching out and touching the hand resting near my thigh. Call it an experiment, but I wanted to see what would happen Seth's head whipped in my direction. "What are you doing?" "Nothing." And nothing was what happened. Confused, I wrapped my fingers around his. "Doesn't look like nothing," His eyes narrowed on me. "I guess so." Giving up on my impromptu test, I lifted my hand. "Shouldn't you be--" Whatever.. | half-blood jennifer-l-armentrout | Jennifer L. Armentrout | |
| 5e20917 | Grabbing a scarf off the chair, I threw it at him. He caught it, clutching it to his chest as he flew into the air. "You gave Tink a scarf. Tink is free!" He flew out into the hallway like a little cracked-out fairy, screeching, "Tink is freeeeee!" Ren looked at me. "What the actual f**k?" I sighed. "He's obsessed with Harry Potter. I'm sorry." Tink darted back into the room, holding the scarf to his bare chest. "There is no reason to apol.. | harry-potter humor ren tink wicked | Jennifer L. Armentrout | |
| 3ceeda3 | For once, I agree with Blake." Daemon met my shocked stare. "We can't, Kitten. Not now." I wasn't okay with this, but I couldn't run down the hall, letting people free.

It sucked-sucked worse than people who pirated books, sucked more than a year for the next book in a beloved series, and sucked more than a brutal cliffhanger ending." | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| f38a57c | Then there were the shabti, magical figurines that were supposed to come to life when summoned. A few months ago, I'd fallen for a girl named Zia Rashid, who'd turned out to be a shabti. Falling in love for the first time had been hard enough. But when the girl you like turns out to be ceramic and cracks to pieces before your eyes--well, it gives "breaking your heart" a new meaning." -- | Rick Riordan | ||

On this shitty island grow palm trees that also have shitty shapes. And the palm trees produce coconuts that give off a shitty smell.
