| fa904ac | It crossed her mind that she might be saving clone soldiers from death by biological agent so they could die from blaster and cannon round. It was a horrible thought. | Karen Traviss | ||
| cdee782 | Covering his tracks by randomizing his route back to the apartment had become routine for Skirata now, which was a bizarre irony in itself. | Karen Traviss | ||

| dc3a2d3 | They said the world was divided into those folks who ran away from danger, and those who ran toward it. | Karen Traviss | ||
| 8ed8281 | We don't do psyop. We've never worked with Spartans before. And we're definitely not trained for this spook stuff. But how hard can it be? They were ODSTs. They could do anything. It was all about the right attitude--a commando's state of mind. "Hi, BB," Mal said. "Take us to Hinge-head World, then." | Karen Traviss | ||
| cf9e2b6 | In this job, you handpick your people. You need the best. You need the most loyal. You need the most ruthless. | can-i-steal-that spies | Karen Traviss | |
| 740db82 | That said, I don't really understand the point of the royal princes joining the army. Why send a couple of pampered party boys like Harry or William in to fight? In a war you need a ruthless, merciless killing machine, someone like Andy McNab, or Prince Philip. Prince Philip is the perfect soldier: he likes shooting things and he's a racist. He'd kill his own daughter-in-law if he thought he could get away with it. | royal-family | Frankie Boyle | |
| 78a8f2b | the rasp of the respirator's filter were about as comforting as Darth Vader reading a bedtime story, | Andy McNab | ||
| 0b6efa7 | He said that if you were able to look at the crows really closely, you would see that their eyes were stolen baubles, like buttons or marbles. To get real eyes, they had to steal them from children. Older people's eyes were too set in their ways of looking and would be no good for a crow. That's why people don't let their children out after dark. The crow who stole the eyes of a real child was king. With a piece of plastic they could just s.. | Heather O'Neill | ||
| 4b1d7a0 | You feel as if everybody has been given an instruction manual on how to be likable, but you didn't get it. And they all sold out now. And if you are what you eat, then you must have surely spent the last few years of your life eating dog food and cat shit. Because when you look in the mirror, it is all that you see. | life | Heather O'Neill | |
| ae84ddb | We just thought of old age as some sort of clown routine. | Heather O'Neill | ||
| d33c315 | Women aren't mean the way that men are. They're full of life and they're like God in that way. | femimism god religion women | Heather O'Neill | |
| d8a42a6 | What in the world do our clothes say about us when we put them on?" Rose said. "There's no real dignity in any of these costumes. If I'm a maid, I do what the owner of the house tells me to do. If I'm a nurse, I do whatever the doctor tells me to do. What are we as women, other than barnacles that attach themselves to higher life forms in some pathetic attempt to clean up messes? Tidy up what men have left behind - make the world a lovelier.. | Heather O'Neill | ||
| b6555f9 | Boys are good at personas. There are a certain number that you can get at the drugstore, like costumes before Halloween. Being cool is pretending that you're not afraid of anything. But everybody is afraid. Everybody is afraid. | Heather O'Neill | ||
| 6526618 | As soon as I looked at Alphonse's face, I knew that he was dead. I had the strange feeling that I was dead myself. It felt as if I were lying at the bottom of a grave and earth was being thrown on me. When death takes someone you know, he holds you and whispers all his secrets in your ear. | Heather O'Neill | ||
| 97708ec | They tried to look punk but came off looking more like cats with mange. Just | Heather O'Neill | ||
| 085f53d | Her body was trembling. He was the real drug here and fuck, if she wasn't jones-ing for a hit. But she wouldn't give into it...to him. Aidan O'Neill was serious bad news and she had to remember that. | Heather R. Blair | ||
| 68b8ec1 | If we piled them up, they would reach God.' 'But God does not exist, Comrade Farmer.' 'Nor do the potatoes, Comrade Stalin.' " "Old one." "Jokes only get old if they're good. Otherwise, who keeps telling them?" "People like you who aren't funny?" | David Benioff | ||

| e1398e5 | Nos pasabamos los minutos sobrantes cazando ratas, que debian de haber pensado que la desaparicion de los gatos de la ciudad era la respuesta a todas sus antiguas plegarias, hasta que comprendieron que ya no habia nada que comer en la basura. | David Benioff | ||
| b56f673 | De waarheid mag dan vreemder zijn dan de verbeelding, maar vraagt wel om een betere redacteur. Het grootste deel van het leven van een mens is de moeite van het onthouden niet waard. | David Benioff | ||
| 304a73c | Kolya was a braggart, a know-it-all, a Jew-baiting Cossack, but his confidence was so pure and complete it no longer seemed like arrogance, just the mark of a man who had accepted his own heroic destiny. | David Benioff | ||
| d002638 | Talent must be a fanatical mistress. She's beautiful; when you're with her, people watch you, they notice. But she bangs on your door at odd hours, and she disappears for long stretches, and she has no patience for the rest of your existence: your wife, your children, your friends. She is the most thrilling evening of your week, but some day she will leave you for good. One night, after she's been gone for years, you will see her on the arm.. | David Benioff | ||
| 7f0d811 | I've always envied people who sleep easily. Their brains must be cleaner, the floorboards of the skull well swept, all the little monsters closed up in a steamer trunk at the foot of the bed. I was born an insomniac and that's the way I'll die, wasting thousands of hours along the way longing for unconsciousness, | David Benioff | ||
| 3dc0d4b | She was not a writer herself but she was a very good reader, passionate and eclectic in her tastes, and my father had great faith in her judgments. | writers | David Benioff | |
| 12a0be1 | Your mother and sister weren't on the radio telling us all to be brave. Look, I don't expect composers and poets to be heroes. I just don't like hypocrites. | David Benioff | ||
| 5bacccf | I was a runt from birth. Big nosed, black haired, skin scribbled with acne--let's admit I was no girl's idea of a catch. But war made me more attractive. Others dwindled as the ration cards were cut and cut again, halving those who looked like circus strongmen before the invasion. I had no muscle to lose. Like the shrews that kept scavenging while the dinosaurs toppled around them, I was built for deprivation. | David Benioff | ||
| b5799c3 | Monty kucuk tuvaletin kapisini kilitleyip, klozetin kapali kapaginin ustune oturdu. Biri tuvalet kagidi rulosunun takili oldugu plastigin uzerine, cehenneme kadar yolunuz var, yazmisti. Kesinlikle diye dusundu o da. Ama senin de cehenneme kadar yolun var. Herkesin. Kapidaki Fransiz kadinin, sarap icerek yemek yiyenlerin, siparisleri alan garsonlarin, hepinizin cani cehenneme.

| b0fbb35 | Vika sat next to me, chewing on her fingernails. She chewed methodically, not an anxious person with a nervous habit but a butcher sharpening his knives. | David Benioff | ||
| 015f006 | There is a song, Noreen," he said tenderly. "It was nominated for an Academy Award. I can't sing, enamorada, but the words say that when a man loves a woman, really loves her, he can see his unborn children in her eyes." - "To my shame, I saw my sons in your eyes the day I found you in the kitchen at your aunt's house," he whispered, watching her face color. "And I was married. What a living hell it was, to know such a sin and be unable to .. | Diana Palmer | ||
| 342cf56 | We all go through periods of anguish, times when we think we can't face what lies ahead. But the only way to get past it is to go through it, straight through it. No detours, no camouflage, no running. You have to meet problems head-on, despite the pain. | Diana Palmer | ||

| 5566811 | Numbers and maps tell horror stories, but the stories of deepest horror are perhaps those for which there are no numbers, no maps, no possible accountability, no words ever written or spoken. | Valeria Luiselli | ||
| 4d382ed | He fell into a solemn silence, which he only eventually broke to say, "I think I've become a terrible person. In fact, I've become a reptile. Do you know that reptiles are stupid because almost their entire brain capacity is used to feel fear?" | reptiles | Valeria Luiselli | |
| 8f9973c | But this face, my face, like all faces, is not only a collection of traces- it's also the first draft of a future face... In my young face I instinctively read a first wrinkle of doubt, a first smile of indifference: lines of a story I'll rewrite and understand on a future reading. | Valeria Luiselli | ||
| ceb097e | Get that son of a bitch to jail," he said through his teeth, "before I kill him!" His eyes were testimony enough to the intent of the statement. He'd forgotten law, duty, honor, everything, in the grip of the worst fear he'd ever felt. If she died, he would be lawless. Nothing would matter to him in the world, ever again, except revenge." | Diana Palmer | ||
