| 31a2d32 | I was helpless in trying to return people's kindness, but also helpless to resist it. Kindness is a scarier force than cruelty, that's for sure. Cruelty isn't that hard to understand. I had no trouble comprehending why the phone company wanted to screw me over; they just wanted to steal some money, it was nothing personal. That's the way of the world. It made me mad, but it didn't make me feel stupid. If anything, it flattered my intelligen.. | grief kindness | Rob Sheffield | |
| 2d2454d | Yelena, you've driven me crazy. You've caused me considerable trouble and I've contemplated ending your life twice since I've known you...but you slipped under my skin, invaded my blood and seized my heart. | poison-study romantic valek | Maria V. Snyder | |
| cd44a50 | I loved her for so long. Our past trails behind us like a comet's tail, the future stretched out before us like the universe. Things happen. People get lost and love breaks. | Jonathan Tropper | ||
| aa9a6a7 | I'm amazing and studly, but I have limits. | thomas-raith vanity | Jim Butcher | |
| 1f9d019 | I wouldn't intentionally hurt anyone in this whole world. I wouldn't hurt them physically or emotionally, how then can people so consistently do it to me? Even my parents treat me like I'm stupid and inferior and ever short. I guess I'll never measure up to anyone's expectations. I surely don't measure up to what I'd like to be. | Beatrice Sparks | ||
| cd23ed9 | No matter how safe and beautiful it is, a cage is still a cage. | inspirational | Jessica Spotswood | |
| f6bf012 | It is beautiful to discover our wings and learn how to fly; flight is a beautiful process. But then to rest on the wings of God as He flies: this is divine. | beautiful divine flight flying flying-spirit inspirational inspirational-life inspirational-quotes wings-of-god | C. JoyBell C. | |
| d44437e | Adversity is a natural part of being human. It is the height of arrogance to prescribe a moral code or health regime or spiritual practice as an amulet to keep things from falling apart. Things do fall apart. It is in their nature to do so. When we try to protect ourselves from the inevitability of change, we are not listening to the soul. We are listening to our fear of life and death, our lack of faith, our smaller ego's will to prevail. .. | inspirational | Elizabeth Lesser | |
| d5f6023 | The most basic and powerful way to connect to another person is to listen. Just listen. Perhaps the most important thing we ever give each other is our attention.... A loving silence often has far more power to heal and to connect than the most well-intentioned words. | inspirational | Rachel Naomi Remen | |

| 7968788 | The mystery of the universe is not time but size. | Stephen King | ||
| 7750221 | And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer even remotely human. | wealth | William Gibson | |
| 89fec32 | To tell someone not to be emotional is to tell them to be dead. | feelings | Jeanette Winterson | |
| 252effe | A person who's happy will make others happy; a person who has courage and faith will never die in misery | Anne Frank | ||
| 29b0d3e | The number doesn't matter. If I got down to 070.00, I'd want to be 065.00. If I weight 010.00, I wouldn't be happy until I got down to 005.00. The only number that would ever be enough is 0. Zero pounds, zero life, size zero, double-zero, zero point. Zero in tennis is love. I finally get it. | Laurie Halse Anderson | ||
| e6464c8 | Salt. Wound. Together at last. | Maureen Johnson | ||
| c654593 | Storytellers are a threat. They threaten all champions of control, they frighten usurpers of the right-to-freedom of the human spirit -- in state, in church or mosque, in party congress, in the university or wherever. | story storytellers | Chinua Achebe | |
| b364ee1 | The thing is, that when you're young, you always think you'll meet all sorts of wonderful people, that drifting apart and losing friends is natural. You don't worry, at first, about the friends you leave behind. But as you get older, it gets harder to build friendships. Too many defenses, too little opportunity. You get busy. And by the time you realize that you've lost the dearest best friend you've ever had, years have gone by and you're .. | Kate Jacobs | ||

| 1db24f0 | Have you ever tried to get to your feet with a sprained dignity? | Madeleine L'Engle | ||
| 960dfd0 | We can surely no longer pretend that our children are growing up into a peaceful, secure, and civilized world. We've come to the point where it's irresponsible to try to protect them from the irrational world they will have to live in when they grow up. The children themselves haven't yet isolated themselves by selfishness and indifference; they do not fall easily into the error of despair; they are considerably braver than most grownups. O.. | Madeleine L'Engle | ||
| 39848f7 | There's naught as nice as th' smell o' good clean earth, except th' smell o' fresh growin' things when th' rain falls on 'em. | Frances Hodgson Burnett | ||
| a3f1551 | I'm not a freak. That's a horrible thing to say." "That's where you're going. A special school for freaks. You and that Snape boy ... weirdos, that's what you two are..." "You didn't think it was such a freak's school when you wrote the headmaster and begged him to take you." | J.K. Rowling | ||
| 23bdf2e | I was thinking the first thing we should do is Expelliarmus, you know, the Disarming Charm. I know it's pretty basic but I've found it really useful -" "Oh please," said Zacharias Smith, rolling his eyes and folding his arms. "I don't think Expelliarmus is exactly going to help us against You-Know-Who, do you?" "I've used it against him," said Harry quietly. "It saved my life last June." Smith opened his mouth stupidly. The rest of the room.. | J.K. Rowling | ||

| af35cf1 | Do you know why most survivors of the Holocaust are vegan? It's because they know what it's like to be treated like an animal. | holocaust veganism | Chuck Palahniuk | |
| 5cb9ad6 | We have the idea that our hearts, once broken, scar over with an indestructible tissue that prevents their ever breaking again in quite the same place... | Michael Chabon | ||
| 93d7fd5 | Playing the part of a charitable soul was only for those who were afraid of taking a stand in life. It is always far easier to have faith in your own goodness than to confront others and fight for your rights. It is always easier to hear an insult and not retaliate than have the courage to fight back against someone stronger than yourself; we can always say we're not hurt by the stones others throw at us, and it's only at night - when we're.. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 75a1897 | A rose dreams of enjoying the company of bees, but none appears. The sun asks: "Aren't you tired of waiting?" "Yes," answers the rose, "but if I close my petals, I will wither and die." | Paulo Coelho | ||
| e5f3da6 | Everything failed to subdue me. Soon everything seemed dull: another sunrise, the lives of heroes, falling in love, war, the discoveries people made about each other. The only thing that didn't bore me, obviously enough, was how much money Tim Price made, and yet in its obviousness it did. There wasn't a clear, identifiable emotion within me, except for greed and, possibly, total disgust. I had all the characteristics of a human being - fle.. | Bret Easton Ellis | ||
| 5198f61 | Clay, did you ever love me?" I'm studying a billboard and say that I didn't hear what she said. "I asked if you ever loved me?" On the terrace the sun bursts into my eyes and for one blinding moment I see myself clearly. I remember the first time we made love, in the house in Palm Springs, her body tan and wet, lying against cool, white sheets. "Don't do this, Blair," I tell her. "Just tell me." I don't say anything. "Is it such a hard ques.. | Bret Easton Ellis | ||
| 3ad5611 | When the going gets tough, the tough go drinking. | Bret Easton Ellis | ||
| 124302e | No, a true seeker, one who truly wished to find, could accept no doctrine. But the man who has found what he sought, such a man could approve of every doctrine, each and every one, every path, every goal; nothing separated him any longer from all those thousands of others who lived in the eternal, who breathed the Divine. | seeker | Hermann Hesse | |
| 890af06 | Why does anything cling to something? Maybe they love wherever they're going so much that it's worth it. Maybe they'll keep coming back, until there's only one star left. Maybe that one star will make the trip forever, out of the hope that someday--if it keeps coming back often enough--another star will find it again | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 2c4242d | I once lived in a place where the opinion of others mattered. It suffocated me, nearly broke me. So you'll understand me, Feyre, when I say that I know what you feel, and I know what they tried to do to you, and that with enough courage, you can say to hell with a reputation. You do what you love, what you need | feyre mor | Sarah J. Maas | |

| 1ab1386 | I accept Time absolutely. It alone is without flaw, It alone rounds and completes all, That mystic baffling wonder. | Walt Whitman | ||
| d1360ac | Some may say that such a girl is not ready for a relationship with a man, especially a man in his late sixties. But to that I say: We don't know anything. We don't know how to cure a cold or what dogs are thinking. We do terrible things, we make wars, we kill people out of greed. So who are we to say how to love. I wouldn't force her. I wouldn't have to. She would want me. We would be in love. What do you know. You don't know anything. Call.. | Miranda July | ||
| 2337b2c | The heart wants what it wants, Dolp. You don't plan on making your life complicated, it just happens,and you don"t do it on purpose, and you don't do it to hurt people who love you. It just turns out that way sometimes." | life love | Laurell K. Hamilton |
