| 81c348b | Taking acceptable risks is a key ingredient for success. If the path was easy, everyone would take it. Ballsy people, if they're intelligent and learn from their mistakes, shape the world. The thing that few people get is that ballsy people aren't any more certain than anyone else. They know they could fail, but also know that if they don't take a shot, they can't succeed either. | Sean Platt | ||
| 5cb71d4 | Typical. Lemonade turned back into lemons, then into piss. | Sean Platt | ||
| 4c4aa45 | strength and a weakness -- an obsessive-compulsive breed of obstinacy. Those who couldn't accept the obvious would slam their heads against the inevitable until they exhausted their numbers and dwindled to nothing. | Sean Platt | ||
| 651df40 | So now there really are little green men on the moon?" "These people weren't official SETI. They didn't understand the data at first. Turns out, they were hearing an echo. Something not from the moon, but bouncing off the moon." | Sean Platt | ||
| f7de65e | Lila sensed the cessation of motion more than she actually felt it. Being in the shuttle did something to her equilibrium -- something about the sense of being high in the air in what looked like a bubble from the inside combined with a force that felt like an invisible seat belt. Her fear was making everything worse. | Sean Platt | ||
| 4a269d5 | open. The two other men ran out, the blond's hair in corkscrews. He looked lost, baffled by the wreck at the bottom of the incline. But the other --the one with the buzz cut --didn't look lost at all. He looked like he knew exactly what was happening, angry as a kicked nest of wasps. His head ticked toward Lila. She slunk back, hopefully out of sight. She had no idea if he'd seen her, and couldn't peek to check. Lila was blind. And he might.. | Sean Platt | ||

| c050ba6 | Howdy there, you've reached Boricio's Center For Mental Fitness. Please listen to the following options: If you're obsessive compulsive, press #1 over and over, 47 times or your mother will die. If you're co-dependent, turn to the nearest asshole and ask them to press #2 for you. Multiple personalities, I will direct you to buttons #3, 4, 5, and 6. Press them all, one at a time. If you're paranoid, we know who you are, and we will motherfuc.. | Sean Platt | ||
| f097abb | Oh shit, I'm sorry," Brent said. He never knew what to say when someone mentioned death. And he always felt like "sorry" was one of the worst things you could say. It was so ... trite. Yet, he could never think of anything better. He'd tried other phrases, like "sorry for your loss," but that felt like a cheesy cop show line, even if it was slightly better than "sorry." If he were being honest, he'd simply say, "that sucks," because death t.. | Sean Platt | ||
| b065dc7 | Success comes from hard work and the accumulation of small numbers. Unlike yesterday, today's prosperity can bloom from continuous intelligent production. For the first time in history, life as a full-time writer has become about simple math. | Sean Platt | ||
| 61e1e43 | In an ethical sales transaction, the buyer and seller should be equally pleased. Each party should feel like thanking the other. Ethical marketing is nothing more than letting people who might like your product know it exists -- and, ideally, giving them some sort of a deal that makes the offer better for the potential buyer. | Sean Platt | ||
| f19ae81 | unbelievably, even Charlie --had come from moments of privacy with red eyes. Piper had cried the most, and openly. But it wasn't loss she saw on Cameron's face now. It was something worse. "They let us go," he said. "They almost killed us back at Little Cottonwood, but then they had their time to cool off, and now they're just watching again. They won't hurt us. No matter what we do, we're free to be slaves." "We don't know that," Andreus s.. | Sean Platt | ||

| 65e511a | Pretty soon he would be stronger than she was, and bigger, some real violence in his fist. The day was coming when the ordinary demons of adolescence would wrestle with his private devils, and it could be a hell. | Keith Donohue | ||
| 885764e | Uji qe pikonte nga catia, bente nje vrime ne reren e oborrit. Degjohej: "pike-pike", e pastaj prape "pike" mbi nje gjysme flete dafine qe e bente te rrotullohej e te kercente duke e shtyre ne te carat e tullave. Sa kishte kaluar stuhia dhe tani, here pas here, flladi tundte deget e sheges, duke bere qe prej tyre te hidhte mbi toke nje shi te dendur me ca pika te ndritshme qe pastaj veniteshin. Pulat, te ngrysura dhe si te pergjumura, shkund.. | Juan Rulfo | ||
| 75fc96c | El cielo esta tan alto, y mis ojos tan sin mirada, que vivia contenta con saber donde quedaba la tierra. Ademas, le perdi todo mi interes desde que el padre Renteria me aseguro que jamas conoceria la gloria. Que ni siquiera de lejos la veria... Fue cosa de mis pecados; pero el no debia habermelo dicho. Ya de por si la vida se lleva con trabajos. Lo unico que la hace a una mover los pies es la esperanza de que al morir la lleven a una de un .. | Juan Rulfo | ||

| ff424bf | Pienso cuando maduraban los limones. En el viento de febrero que rompia los tallos de los helechos, antes que el abandono los secara; los limones maduros que llenaban con su olor el viejo patio. El viento bajaba de las montanas en las mananas de febrero. Y las nubes se quedaban alla arriba en espera de que el tiempo bueno las hiciera bajar al valle; mientras tanto dejaban vacio el cielo azul, dejaban que la luz cayera en el juego del vient.. | Juan Rulfo | ||
| 8007af8 | Dice que ella escondia sus pies entre las piernas de el. Sus pies helados como piedras frias y que alli se calentaban como en un horno donde se dora el pan. Dice que el le mordia los pies diciendole que eran como pan dorado en el horno. | Juan Rulfo | ||

| b362fb7 | No habia aire. Tuve que sorber el mismo aire que salia de mi boca, deteniendolo con las manos antes de que se fuera. Lo sentia ir y venir, cada vez menos; hasta que se hizo tan delgado que se filtro entre mis dedos para siempre | Juan Rulfo | ||
| 1828968 | Do you believe in hell, Justina?" "Yes, Susana. And in heaven, too." "I only believe in hell, " said Susana." | existence sin torment | Juan Rulfo | |
| e3d3280 | Y aunque no habia ninos jugando, ni palomas, ni tejados azules, senti que el pueblo vivia. Y que si yo escuchaba solamente el silencio, era porque aun no estaba acostumbrado al silencio; tal vez porque mi cabeza venia llena de ruidos y de voces. | Juan Rulfo | ||
| 64d95b1 | Hace calof aqui- dije. -Si, y esto no es nada- me contesto el otro. Calmese. Ya lo sentira mas fuerte cuando lleguemos a Comala. Aquello esta sobre las brasas de la tierra, en la mera boca del infierno. Con decirle que muchos de los que alli se mueren, al llegar al infierno regresan por su cobija. | hell infierno méxico muerte | Juan Rulfo | |

| 14bc8c5 | Nothing lasts forever. But there is new life; new colours, fresh words, new tunes to compose. There is now; time present, time future. We build with new bricks and hope our voices are heard, our music is sung and our love cherished for as long as it is offered. | Carol Drinkwater | ||
| 029ab1a | But as I listened to my various mentors argue away the afternoon, I finally caught on to the basic point of it all. With chocolate, there are no straight answers. There are only strongly held opinions. | Mort Rosenblum | ||

| 10551c4 | I asked him if he thought "there" was better than "here." "Not better," he said. "I mean, my great-great-grandpap got his leg shot off. But I feel like it was bigger somehow." Hawkins flipped through pages of Civil War pictures. "At work, I mix dyes and put them in a machine. I'm thirty-six and I've spent almost half my life in Dye House No. 1. I make eight dollars sixty-one cents an hour, which is okay, 'cept everyone says the plant will c.. | Tony Horwitz | ||
| 5756b5c | Cook," the historian Bernard Smith speculates, "increasingly realised that wherever he went he was spreading the curses much more liberally than the benefits of European civilization." | Tony Horwitz | ||
| 86bf562 | The scale of Monument Avenue also amplified the weirdness of the whole enterprise. After all, Davis and Lee and Jackson and Stuart weren't national heroes. In the view of many Americans, they were precisely the opposite; leaders of a rebellion against the nation - separatists at best, traitors at worst. None of those honored were native Richmonders. And their mission failed. They didn't call it the Lost Cause for nothing. I couldn't think o.. | Tony Horwitz |
