| a16dcc0 | Lord Cronshaw's party consisted of six people: he himself, his uncle, the Honourable Eustace Beltane, a pretty American widow, Mrs. Mallaby, a young actor, Chris Davidson, his wife, and last but not least, Miss Coco Courtenay. It was a fancy dress ball, as you know, and | Agatha Christie | ||
| 55d1bb2 | Gallantry," he often told his men, "is an act of great courage under fire, of bravery beyond the call of duty. But if it kills your comrades as well or puts the battle in jeopardy, then it is arrant pride and foolishness. Learn to know the difference." | Charles Todd | ||
| b5fda7b | I was always a killer. It was my skill, and they'd taught me well. She taught me love. | Charles Todd | ||
| 59b7443 | Not a look, not a gesture of Valerie Saintclair's but expressed drama. She seemed to exhale an atmosphere of romance. A scarlet flannel dressing gown covered her feet--a homely garment in all conscience; but the charm of her personality invested it with an exotic flavour, and it seemed an Eastern robe of glowing colour. | Agatha Christie | ||
| c03f3c4 | We left the flat together. I expected- dreaded- Mrs. Hennessy popping out her door and asking who my young man was. "An escaped murderer, Mrs. Hennessy; my father will be horrified." But she didn't come out her door." | Charles Todd | ||
| cecfc0e | I'm going to sleep. Tomorrow can't be worse than today was." "Possibility is a wide field, dear. Can't is a word for small imaginations." | Daniel Abraham | ||
| 9f35c61 | Love is noble," the magistra said. "And so we wrap it around all the things we think perhaps aren't so noble in hopes no one will see what they really are. Fear. Anger. Shame." | Daniel Abraham | ||
| 6140f81 | Like Abraham, as we embark on our own journey, have a lil faith, take the imparted wisdoms from our parents/teachers, go forward and be attentive always to the quiet voice of your heart | Daniel Gottlieb | ||
| 694fb08 | She shone like the horizon when it is almost too bright to look upon. | Daniel Abraham | ||
| 14556e8 | because in my mind--in the memory that has lodged itself imperturbably in my mind, my father resembles Abraham Lincoln, a man with long arms and deep pockets and dark eyes... | Daniel Wallace | ||
| ee5e94f | I am scared, when I first go to cities. I think I am never fit in, never belong. All this worry I make. And is nothing. To lose everything is not the worst can happen.' | Daniel Abraham | ||
| 981c9f5 | Danat was asking if we had any other books," Maati said. "You have all of them," the boy said, awe I'm his voice. Maati chuckled, and then felt the mirth and simple pleasure fade. "Yes," he said. "Yes, we have all of them." | Daniel Abraham | ||
| d859f0d | In a better world, he thought, I'd have followed that man to hell. | Daniel Abraham | ||

| 28400cd | She stepped toward him, her hand on his shoulder. He took her fingers in his, kissing her gently without even being aware that he was doing so. Affection was a habit between them, more genuine for being unconsidered. | Daniel Abraham | ||
| ce7c9f8 | In the thousand years since its foundation, the city had never been taken by force, though twice it had been seduced. | Daniel Abraham | ||
| 64f7ce9 | When you start talking about killed friends and lost babies, justice and revenge are two names for the same dog. | Daniel Abraham | ||
| dfa86da | A monstrous talent that could do anything because no one had managed to convince it of what was impossible. | Daniel Abraham | ||
| ba49e76 | What could Maria call the time that opened ahead of her? The certainty of her hope? This rejuvenated air she was breathing? This incandescence, this bursting of a love at last without object? | breathing-room certainty hope love time | Marguerite Duras | |

Noi voi nang rang cung giong nhu truoc kia, chang van yeu thuong nang, chang khong the ngung yeu thuong nang cho duoc, khong bao gio chang co the ngung yeu thuong nang, chang yeu thuong nang cho den chet. | Marguerite Duras | ||
| 9633da3 | I already know a thing or two. I know it's not clothes that make women beautiful or otherwise, nor beauty care, nor expensive creams, nor the distinction or costliness of their finery. I know the problem lies elsewhere. I don't know where. I only know it isn't where women think. | Marguerite Duras | ||

| 6b2e0a1 | It's here we are at the heart of our common fate, the fact that all three of us are our mother's children, the children of a candid creature murdered by society. We're on the side of the society which has reduced her to despair. Because of what's been done to our mother, so amiable, so trusting, we hate life, we hate ourselves. | Marguerite Duras | ||

| 4f42deb | L'histoire de ma vie n'existe pas. Ca n'existe pas. Il n'y a jamais de centre. Pas de chemin, pas de ligne. Il y a de vastes endroits ou l'on fait croire qu'il y avait quelqu'un, ce n'est pas vrai il n'y avait personne. L'histoire d'une toute petite partie de ma jeunesse je l'ai plus ou moins ecrite deja, enfin je veux dire, de quoi l'apercevoir, je parle de celle-ci justement, de celle de la traversee du fleuve. | Marguerite Duras | ||

| 14cf94b | L'envie d'etre au bord de tuer un amant,de le garder pour vous, pour vous seul, de le prendre, de le voler contre toutes les lois, contre tous les empires de la morale, vous ne la connaissez pas, vous ne l'avez jamais connue? | Marguerite Duras | ||
| 3220dfb | L'enfant dira : je lui ai demande cinq cent piastres pour le retour en France. La mere dira que c'est bien, que c'est ce qu'il faut pour s'installer a Paris, elle dira : ca ira avec cinq cent piastres. L'enfant sait ce qu'elle fait, elle, c'est ce que la mere aurait choisi que fasse son enfant, si elle avait ose, si elle en avait la force, si le mal que faisait la pensee n'etait pas la chaque jour, extenuant. | Marguerite Duras | ||
| e4688a5 | It can be really exasperating to look back at your past. What's the matter with you? I want to ask her, my younger self, shaking her shoulder. If I did that, she would probably cry. Maybe I would cry, too. It would be like one of those Marguerite Duras books I tried to read in Svetlana's aunt's apartment. Elle pleure. Il pleure. Ils pleurent, tous les deux. | Elif Batuman | ||
| ff929ae | C'est apres cette soiree que vous avez commence a m'ecrire des lettres. Beaucoup de lettres. Quelquefois une chaque jour. C'etait des lettres tres courtes, dessortes de billets, c'etait, oui, des sortes d'appels cries d'un lieu invivable, mortel, d'une sorte de desert. Ces appels etaient d'une evidente beaute. Je ne vous repondais pas. Je gardais toutes les lettres. Il y avait en haut des pages le nom de l'endroit ou elles avaient ete ecrit.. | Marguerite Duras | ||
| fa13e38 | Esa noche, perdida entre noches y noches, de eso estaba segura, la chiquilla la paso en ese barco y estuvo alli cuando se produjo el estallido de la musica de Chopin bajo el cielo iluminado de brillanteces. No habia un soplo de viento y, en el paquebote negro, la musica se propalo por todas partes, como una exhortacion del cielo de la que no se supiera de que trataba, como una orden de Dios de la que se ignoraba el contenido. Y la joven se .. | Marguerite Duras | ||

| bc9c7f3 | Je t'aime, dit tout bas M. Jo. Dans le seul livre qu'elle eut jamais lu, comme dans les films qu'elle avait vus depuis, les mots: je t'aime n'etaient prononces qu'une seule fois au cours de l'entretien de deux amants qui durait quelques minutes a peine mais qui liquidait des mois d'attente, une terrible separation, des douleurs infinies. Jamais Suzanne ne les avait encore entendus prononcer qu'au cinema. Longtemps, elle avait cru qu'il etai.. | Marguerite Duras | ||

| 0649a35 | People ought to be told of such things. Ought to be taught that immortality is mortal, that it can die, it's happened before and it happens still. It doesn't ever announce itself as such-it's duplicity itself. It doesn't exist in detail, only in principle. Certain people may harbor it, on condition they don't know that's what they're doing. Just as certain other people may detect its presence in them, on the same condition, that they don't .. | Marguerite Duras | ||
| d629bac | The show is said to have originated on WCAU, Philadelphia, the sponsor's home city, in 1927. Its arrival in New York in 1931 kicked off an unusual commercial identity--a children's song-dance-and-story hour sponsored by one of the strongest symbols of New York city life, the automat (where nickel coffee and a piece of pie was a Broadway tradition). With its first New York broadcast, Horn and Hardart admitted it had nothing to sell to kids b.. | John Dunning | ||
| 8ca0120 | That was what they were so clearly doing here: they were waiting. And not in any suspense, either, not in any anxiety as to the outcome of their vigil. They were waiting with no apparent emotion at all, as one might sit over the course of an evening, watching a candle methodically burn itself into darkness, never less than certain of the outcome, confident that the only thing standing between now and the end of waiting was time itself. | Scott B. Smith | ||
