| 122c1cb | She'd got so used to not wanting to go out and be sociable that saying no had become her natural default setting. The moment anyone invited her anywhere, her brain began scrambling for plausible excuses as to why she couldn't make it. | Jill Mansell | ||

| 0955253 | He remembered hearing Karl tell James once that it was hard for people to ever know what they really looked like. Reflections in mirrors weren't accurate, Karl said, because when you stared at yourself in a mirror, you subconsciously composed your face in a way that wasn't your natural expression. Marvin wondered it that was true when you were with strangers too. Maybe you only looked like your true self with the people you loved. And maybe.. | love mirror reflections reflective self true-self | Elise Broach | |
| c053309 | I hurried after Sam, calling, "You might wait for us!" The last word, though it was but one syllable, covered two octaves, for my voice broke, as it had been doing lately with alarming frequency. Sam turned back with a mischievous grin on his face. "Was that your voice cracking, or were you attempting to yodel?" -- | Gary L. Blackwood | ||
| 8841992 | I don't really understand what politics are ... I'm concerned with injustice ... I'm not attuned to politics, I'm just attuned to people.' He | Peter Doggett | ||

| 1b981c0 | Here's something you must know and don't forget it - animals never lie. They don't like, they don't put on disguises, and they are always true to what they are. That's why you can trust them. | Jonathan Carroll | ||
| d5d9257 | Listening to him, I realized how lucky I was not to have had a wonderful childhood. Those who do, or those who peak in their early years, have only that remembered joy or strength to tide them over the rest of their lives. Nothing could ever be as good as that time; for them nothing ever is. | Jonathan Carroll | ||

| 848f383 | Pilot had never seen this particular ghost before. Head resting on paws, he mildly wondered what it was doing here. Dogs see ghosts about as often as people see cats. They're there but they're no big deal. | Jonathan Carroll | ||

| 2884eee | I've noticed most people are at their best during the day, in the light. Night fascinates you with its mystery and potential, but it's ominous too because things are easily hidden or lost in the dark, especially control. Most species I've encountered are powerless there. No matter where that dark is--inside or out--you are all at its mercy. It's harder to lose things and easier to find them, including yourself, in the light. | Jonathan Carroll | ||
| 474b138 | Quei ragazzini che non avevano nessun timore dell'incubo di Haden adulto non ci misero molto a finirlo. I grandi dimenticano cosa significhi non aver paura. Un mostro non e un mostro se non ti spaventa. | Jonathan Carroll | ||
| 6d0ab61 | Flannery amava i cimiteri. Gli piacevano l'ordine e la bellezza artificiale che vi regnavano, perche sapeva che nascevano dal timore, dalla paura. Non certo dall'amore della gente per i propri defunti. Per lui i cimiteri non erano altro che inutili e patetici reliquiari che gli esseri umani cercavano di erigere per allontanare lo spauracchio della morte. | paura | Jonathan Carroll | |
| 584de2b | These days the couple coexisted uneasily in an edgy state where both knew a separation was inevitable and imminent but neither was brave enough to say so. They were in the almost-terminal stage where trivial things the partner does are keenly noticed and continuously resented; how they wipe the kitchen counters after a meal, the messy state of the bathroom after their shower, the toilet seat up, the toilet seat down. Things routinely ignore.. | Jonathan Carroll | ||

| 2556b25 | Old age arrives like the first days of fall. One afternoon you look up, or smell something in the air, and know instinctively things have changed. I suppose the same thing is true about our own death. Suddenly it's near enough that we can smell it | Jonathan Carroll | ||

| d7feff5 | What is life? a tale that is told; What is life? a frenzy extreme, A shadow of things that seem; And the greatest good is but small, That all life is a dream to all, And that dreams themselves are a dream. -Segismundo | Pedro Calderón de la Barca | ||

| 8f3119c | Que es la vida? Un frenesi; ?Que es la vida? Una ilusion, Una sombra, una ficcion, Y el mayor bien es pequeno; Que toda la vida es sueno, Y los suenos, suenos son. La vida es sueno Pedro Calderon de la Barca | Nieves García Bautista | ||

| 0d1f7cd | The Indian, in truth, no longer has a country. He is reduced to starvation or to warring to the death. The Indian's first demand is that the white man shall not drive off his game and dispossesses him of his lands. How can we promise this unless we prohibit emigration and settlement...The end is sure and dreadful to contemplate. General John Pope | Stephen E. Ambrose | ||
| 1a17d46 | Pvt. Robert Fruling said he spent two and a half days at Pointe-du-Hoc, all of it crawling on his stomach. He returned on the twenty-fifth anniversary of D-Day "to see what the place looked like standing up" (Louis Lisko interview, EC)." | Stephen E. Ambrose | ||
| 0d4e2e1 | A critical fact in the world of 1801 was that nothing moved faster than the speed of a horse.

Ambrose | ||
