| 160fd99 | Even grief has its arrogance." "Then you have learned, my son, that vengeance belongs only to God?" "More than that, Father," said Luc. "I have learned that in God's hands vengeance is safe. However long delayed, however strangely manifested, the reckoning is sure." | Ellis Peters | ||

| eeb59af | I think there are some who live on a knife-edge in the soul, and at times are driven to hurl themselves into the air, at the mercy of heaven or he'll which way to fall. | fate mercy mystery | Ellis Peters | |
| 090bc6f | So Rhun had arrived at the last frontier of belief, and fallen, or emerged, or soared into the region where the soul realises that pain is of no account, that to be within the secret of God is more than well being, and past the power of the tongue to utter. To embrace the decree of pain is to translate it, to shed it like a rain of blessing on others who have not yet understood. | Ellis Peters | ||
| 1e70313 | What you do and what you are is what matters. | Ellis Peters | ||
| 12e3650 | When harried, we go as far as we dare, and with those we're sure of we dare go very far, knowing where forgiveness is certain. | forgiveness | Ellis Peters | |
| 0a6d76b | Every Spring is the only Spring, a perpetual astonishment. It bursts upon a man every year, thought Cadfael, contemplating it with delight in spite of all anxieties, as though it had never happened before, but had just been shown by God how to do it, and tried, and found the impossible possible. | Ellis Peters | ||
| 7f2d1de | Peter is suffering from an attack of nostalgia, she knows the symptoms. She mustn't join in otherwise she'll be swept away too, drowning in a quicksand of the past. | Elly Griffiths | ||
| 623bf9a | I am a haunted man. I am haunted by the Limper's screams. I am haunted by the Lady's laughter. I am haunted by my suspicion that we are furthering the cause of something that deserves to be scrubbed from the face of the earth. I am haunted by the conviction that those bent upon the Lady's eradication are little better than she. I am haunted by the clear knowledge that, in the end, evil always triumphs. | Glen Cook | ||

| 84d0936 | REBT, then, helps you not only to understand what you "are" but to change what you harmfully think, feel, and do. It accepts your desires, wishes, preferences, goals, and values, then tries to help you achieve them. But REBT shows you how to separate your preferences from your insistences--and thus keep from sabotaging your own goals. It gives you insight into what you are now doing rather than into what you (and your damned parents!) have .. | Albert Ellis | ||
| b180bf0 | You are still a person who completed a perfect project, but never a good person for doing so." "How, then, do I become an incompetent or bad person?" "You don't! When you do incompetent or evil acts, you become a person who acted badly--never a bad person." | Albert Ellis | ||

| 7666c56 | You can figure out by sheer logic that if you were only--and I mean only--to stay with your desires and preferences, and if you were never--and I mean never--to stray into unrealistic demands that your desires have to be fulfilled, you could very rarely disturb, really disturb, yourself about anything. Why? Because your preferences start off with, "I would very much like or prefer to have success, approval, or comfort," and then end with th.. | Albert Ellis | ||

| 91befb7 | Having some support and the reassurance that my family, friends, or others will help me when I am anxious will often reduce my anxiety and panic. But because such support and reassurance may not exist or may not continue, I'd better not rely on it solely. I also had better gain self-confidence and self-support. 8. | Albert Ellis | ||

| 502fd6c | Try to remember the last time you felt extremely angry. Recall what you focused upon and how you acted. Were you able to reasonably consider good courses of action? Were you able to look at all your options? Did you make the best decision? Do you regret something you said or did? If you are like most people, you will see that you hardly think and behave at your best when you feel enraged. | Albert Ellis | ||

| a4326e0 | It wasn't until the show was almost over that I figured out what it was: the crack above my David Onica that I had asked the doorman to tell the superintendent to fix. On my way out this morning, I stopped at the front desk, about to complain to the doorman, when I was confronted with a NEW doorman, my age but balding and homely and FAT.

| 0f092af | Reactions. That's what Major Tom said. Science is all about reactions. Chemistry is about reactions - potassium in water. Physics is about reactions - how a light comes on when you flip a switch. Even biology is about reactions - how Ellie said one thing with her mouth when he asked if Delil was her boyfriend, but the subtle physiological changes, the reddening of her cheeks, the momentary dilation of her pupils, said another. Reactions. | David M. Barnett | ||

| e7c1009 | Annabel, one of my clients who cherished her perfectionism because she felt that it made her a fine writer and an excellent mother, was having a hard time with some of David Burns's teachings against perfectionism in his book, Feeling Good.

| 97d01c3 | Perhaps the most uplifting interpretation of all came from David Howell. As a Rhode Island delegate, Howell was on record as regarding the western lands as a source of revenue. But as a true believer in the semi-sacred character of republican values, his view of the west assumed a spiritual aura that Jefferson himself would later embrace in the wake of the Louisiana Purchase: The Western World opens an amazing prospect. As a national fund, .. | Joseph J. Ellis | ||
| 0a2dfb3 | Ellis asked: "Did you see an eighty year old woman firing at you from the windows there in Bullingen?" He replied, rather sardonically: "I had no occasion to determine the age of the persons firing," When asked: "Did you see a one-year old baby firing at you from the windows?" He pauses and with a quick look of disbelief and a raised eyebrow he replied: "Not even in Russia did I see any one-year-old babies firing." | David G. Williams | ||

She was pretty sure, though, that if she said she had something to tell him, he'd get the wrong idea.
