| 8cc67b2 | The challenge in all intimate relationships is to preserve both the "I" and the "we" without losing either when the going gets tough.

| 6342eac | A marital therapist recently teased me, "Are you writing another book to help women speak up? I'm trying to help my clients be quiet." Then she said more seriously, "Why do people think they have to tell each other everything they feel?" | Harriet Lerner | ||
| c9a0475 | Nothing, but nothing, will block the awareness of anger so effectively as guilt and self-doubt. Our society cultivates guilt feelings in women such that many of us still feel guilty if we are anything less than an emotional service station to others. | Harriet Lerner | ||

| 5487e34 | Nereden baslarsaniz baslayin ve kendinize nasil bir yol secerseniz secin, asagida verilen bazi yap ve yapma kurallarini ofkelenmeye basladiginizda mutlaka hatirlayin: 1. Konu sizin icin onemliyse, mutlaka konusun. Karsimiza cikan tum adaletsizlikleri ve sikintilari sahsen ele almamiz tabii ki gerekmez. Bazi seyleri gozardi etmek, olgunluk belirtisidir. Ama bunun bedeli kendimizi ofkeli, sikintili ya da mutsuz hissetmeniz olacaksa, sessiz k.. | Harriet Lerner | ||

| da93473 | NOT EVERYTHING IS FORGIVABLE Accepting an apology doesn't always mean reconciliation. The best apology in the world can't restore every connection. The words "I'm sorry" may be absurdly inadequate even if sincerely offered. Sometimes the foundation of trust on which a relationship was built cannot be repaired. We may never want to see the person who hurt us again. We can still accept the apology." | Harriet Lerner | ||
| f48aa4e | What I'm trying to say is, you can't change a guy. Concentrate on your own life. Someone whose hobbies include trying to break his neck on a motorcycle and slipping into a girl's bedroom first thing in the morning isn't worth bothering about." "He's actually been here since last night." Dad's fingers tightened on the doorknob even though his voice stayed light. "I really need to buy that shotgun." "He was sick and needed to lie down," said .. | Sarah Rees Brennan | ||
| 632f0cd | Come on quickly, you two," she said. "I've just poisoned all the sorcerers." "What?" Kami exclaimed. "I mean--what? Are they all dead? Claire blinked. "Well, no," she said. "No, I just gave them all food poisoning." Apparently neither of Kami's parents was any good at assassination. " | Sarah Rees Brennan | ||

| 301423f | She could feel the heat from his body behind her. It radiated from his chest to her shoulder blades. The silk of his bow tie brushed against her hair, penetrating it, until it grazed across the surface of her neck, causing it to explode into goose-pimples. | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| ab273f1 | This conference is like a tour through the various levels of Hell, he thought. The only things missing are a respectable Virgil and hordes of people screaming. | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| 4df4ab2 | In fact, it's probably easier to give a pill to a cat than to a man. Then again, a man can't scratch you. | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| 31307ab | Oh, you can be sure we will get into all kinds of mischief." He winked. "And there is a strong possibility that shenanigans and hijinks of various sorts will also occur, with regularity." | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| ecb8003 | Gabriel reclined against the banquette and regarded her with a slow and sinuous smile. "That would rather defeat the purpose of watching, don't you think?" | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| 6457dc9 | She would remain forever young, forever noble, forever his blessedness, and not all the poetry in the world could express his devotion to her. | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| 6c04fc6 | Forgive me." He cupped her cheek. "I came to you tonight because I couldn't allow the light of my life to be extinguished without seeing you one last time." "Then" | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| 537dd4f | To the Nuptial Bowre I led her blushing like the Morn: all Heav'n, And happie Constellations on that houre. | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| 9c86ef6 | We don't have to forget the past," he whispered. "But we can make the future better." | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| abe4e28 | You've transformed from a rabbit into a furious kitten. Well, you scratched me deeply today, my kitten. You drew blood with every word. Are you happy now? Now that you've humiliated me in front of my students by reciting all my secret sins? It was a true bonfire of the vanities, with you lighting the flame. | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| 00ac494 | I glad I your frist- Gabriel Emerson | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| e5297d2 | Aristotle said that friendship is only possible between two virtuous people. Therefore, friendship between us is impossible. | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| 531e27f | In the wee hours of the morning, the Edenic lovers wound themselves around each other, flesh against flesh, sleepy and sated in a large, white bed. Lightness and darkness, innocence and experience, kissed and caressed in the warmth and acceptance created by their love. The dark angel whispered to his muse in Italian until she fell asleep in his arms, happier than she had ever been. She was loved. | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| 06217c2 | Without a word, he walked over to the sideboard and grabbed one of the decanters and a crystal glass. He returned to his seat and poured two fingers' worth of Scotch. He drank half of it in one swallow and thumped his glass down roughly. He waited for the burning sensation in his throat to abate. He waited for the liquid courage to adhere to his insides, fortifying him. But it would take much more Scotch to dull the ache in his heart. | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| 168f553 | He closed his eyes and inhaled once again. And when he opened them, he peered over at her like a wounded dragon. "You are looking at a murderer." | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| f9e3e9f | I think you wanted me to lose my temper. I think you wanted me to get angry and make a scene, so you'd be justified in running away. You wanted me to behave like every other abusive asshole that has knocked you around. Well, I'm not an abusive asshole, and I'm not going to do that. | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| d78b950 | I'm not the one with the memory problem. You think I'm happy? You think this is what I wanted? I'm miserable. To finally see you after all these years and to see you like this? I don't even recognize you! | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| 9436fab | Don't the strangest sort of miracles come out of the worst of circumstances? | Sylvain Reynard | ||

| 47925a9 | You know, of course, that the natural shade of the lip is repeated across a woman's body in more intimate places. Your color is so pleasing on your mouth. I'm sure it's breathtaking elsewhere. | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| b1bc3b7 | not think that sometimes--just sometimes--you can overcome evil with silence? And let people hear their hatefulness in their own ears, without distraction. Maybe goodness is enough to expose evil for what it really is, sometimes. Rather than trying to stop evil with more evil. | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| 172a892 | Lillian Hellman wrote a play called The Little Foxes. In it a young girl tells her mother that some people eat the earth, like locusts, and others stand around and watch them do it. | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| bcc4280 | So all of this agony was for nothing?" "You exposed us to malicious gossip for nothing." "You were cruel." "So were you." "You hurt me." "And you hurt me. Is revenge everything you dreamed it might be?" | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| 9500c43 | He was paving hell with energy--buying an indulgence, forgiveness for sin. | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| 99105fa | How had he believed that nameless, faceless orgasms would ever satisfy him? He'd spent his life worshipping at the altar of a silent, absent god who promised everything but delivered something fleeting that always left him wanting. He'd trafficked in lust masquerading as eros. But nothing had been further from reality. Vanity of vanities. All is vanity. | Sylvain Reynard | ||

| 8bdbe88 | si quieres esperar a que la cicatriz desaparezca, esperaras en vano. Las cicatrices no desaparecen nunca. (...) Las heridas cicatrizan y dejamos de pensar en ellas, pero su huella es permanente. | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| 26ee93f | Me gusta creer que nada es imposible --susurro ella. --Aristoteles dijo que la amistad solo es posible entre dos personas virtuosas. Asi que la amistad entre nosotros es imposible. --Nadie es virtuoso del todo. --Tu lo eres --afirmo. | Sylvain Reynard | ||
| b4014ff | Me gusta pensar que a veces... solo a veces, el silencio puede ser mas fuerte que el mal. Y me gusta pensar que, si no digo nada, la gente oira el odio que sale de su boca con sus propios oidos, sin nada que los distraiga. Tal vez la bondad sea suficiente para mostrar el mal como lo que es, sin necesidad de reprimirlo con mas mal. Aunque no es que yo sea la encarnacion del bien. Se que no lo soy. | Sylvain Reynard | ||
