| 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. | romantic poison-study 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. | vanity thomas-raith | 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. | flying-spirit wings-of-god inspirational-life inspirational-quotes inspirational flying flight divine beautiful | 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 | |

| 4e16410 | She felt worthless and hollow. There was no hope of fixing this. And when hope is gone, time is punishment. | suicide | Mitch Albom | |
| 9757e96 | Words] cling to the very core of our memories and lie there in silence until a new desire reawakens them and recharges them with loving energy. That is one of the qualities of love that moves me most, their capacity for transmitting love. Like water, words are a wonderful conductor of energy. And the most powerful, transforming energy is the energy of love. | words | Laura Esquivel | |
| 84627b2 | No other continent has endured such an unspeakably bizarre combination of foreign thievery and foreign goodwill. | Barbara Kingsolver | ||
| 35fbb03 | Like all pure creatures, cats are practical. | William S. Burroughs | ||
| 9105930 | And that's how things are. A day is like a whole life. You start out doing one thing, but end up doing something else, plan to run an errand, but never get there. . . . And at the end of your life, your whole existence has the same haphazard quality, too. Your whole life has the same shape as a single day. | Michael Crichton | ||
| 319cbdb | You took too much man, too much, too much. | Hunter S. Thompson | ||

| d89642b | Infuriated, I scrambled over him, even more furious when I saw the humored glint in his eyes. "God you tick me off." "Well at least I got you--" "Don't even finish that statement!" | the-lux-series jennifer-armentrout katy-swartz opal | Jennifer L. Armentrout | |
| ec3f0e3 | The shadow pulled away, moving forward quickly. My first instinct screamed Arum and to push away from it. I reached blindly for the obsidian necklace, realizing too late I didn't have it anymore. "You're still having nightmares," the shadow said. At the sound of the familiar voice, fear gave way to rage so potent that it tasted like a battery acid. I was on my feet before I knew it. "Blake," I spat." | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| 4b88387 | If you start climbing on car hoods, I think I might marry you." I rolled my eyes and straightened, giving my head one more shake. "Done." He stared at me. "You're cute." "You're weird." | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| af5a963 | Are you having a good time with...Ash?" "Are you having a good time with Happy Hands?" I bit down on my lip. "Such a constant smartass." | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| 0073b47 | Nico had proven himself in other ways. He'd kept the camps' secrets for the best of reasons, because he feared a war. He had plunged into Tartarus alone, voluntarily, to find the Doors of Death. He'd been captured and imprisoned by giants. He had led the crew of the Argo II into the House of Hades...and now he had accepted yet another terrible quest: raking himself to haul the Athene Parthenos back to Camp Half-Blood. | tartarus nico-di-angelo | Rick Riordan | |
| 1521704 | Whoa," Connor Stoll said. "Back up. Zoom in right there." "What?" Annabeth said nervously. "You see invaders?" "No, right there--Dylan's Candy Bar." Connor grinned at his brother. "Dude, it's open. And everyone is asleep. Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" "Connor!" Katie Gardner scolded. She sounded like her mother, Demeter. "This is serious. You are not going to loot a candy store in the middle of a war!" "Sorry," Connor muttered, but h.. | katie-gardner connor-stoll | Rick Riordan | |

| fe9cc0a | Lacy had warned me about Drew the first day of school. Apparently the two of them had gone to some summer camp together--blah, blah, I didn't really listen to teh details--and Drew had been just as much a tyrant there. ~Sadie Kane, about Lacy and Drew of Aphrodite cabin. | sadie rick-riordan | Rick Riordan | |
| f54670f | Hermes's eyes twinkled. "Martha, may I have the first package, please?" Martha opened her mouth ... and kept opening it until it was as wide as my arm. She belched out a stainless steel canister-an old-fashioned lunch box thermos with a black plastic top. The sides of the thermos were enameled with red and yellow Ancient Greek scenes-a hero killing a lion; a hero lifting up Cerberus, the three-headed dog. "That's Hercules," I said. "But how.. | humor collectible tv gift martha hercules percy-jackson hermes | Rick Riordan | |

| 5b7a515 | Time folds you in its arms and gives you one last kiss, and then it flattens you out and folds you up and tucks you away until it's time for you to become someone else's past time, and then time folds again. | time | Margaret Atwood | |
| c4cf586 | You can wet the rim of a glass and run your finger around the rim and it will make a sound. This is what I feel like: this sound of glass. I feel like the word shatter. I want to be with someone. | Margaret Atwood | ||
| 5758123 | And that is how we are. By strength of will we cut off our inner intuitive knowledge from admitted consciousness. This causes a state of dread, or apprehension, which makes the blow ten times worse when it does fall. | D.H. Lawrence | ||
| 2386f75 | To fly is the opposite of traveling: you cross a gap in space, you vanish into the void, you accept not being in a place for a duration that is itself a kind of void in time; then you reappear, in a place and in a moment with no relation to the where and when in which you vanished. | Italo Calvino | ||

| 99af692 | Once you stop pretending that everything's shitty and you can't wait to get out of it...then it gets more painful, not less. Telling yourself life is shit is like an anesthetic, and when you stop taking the Advil, then you really can tell how much it hurts, and where, and it's not like that kind of pain does anyone a whole lot of good. | Nick Hornby | ||
| 1cc2210 | Did I do and say these things? Yes, I did. Are there any mitigating circumstances? Not really, unless any circumstances {in other words, context) can be regarded as mitigating. And before you judge, although you have probably already done so, go away and write down the four worst things you have done to a partner, even if - especially if - your partner doesn't know about them. Don't dress things up, or try to explain them; just write them d.. | love mistakes | Nick Hornby | |
| 1e964ac | I'm kind of a low-key guy. The spotlight doesn't suit me. I'm more of a side dish--cole slaw or French fries or a Wham! backup singer. | Haruki Murakami | ||
| 8ed27c7 | In this world, there is no absolute good, no absolute evil," the man said. "Good and evil are not fixed, stable entities, but are continually trading places. A good may be transformed into an evil in the next second. And vice versa. Such was the way of the world that Dostoevsky depicted in The Brothers Karamazov. The most important thing is to maintain the balance between the constantly moving good and evil. If you lean too much in either d.. | Haruki Murakami | ||
| e3a80dc | According to Chekhov," Tamaru said, rising from his chair, "once a gun appears in a story, it has to be fired." "Meaning what?" "Meaning, don't bring unnecessary props into a story. If a pistol appears, it has to be fired at some point. Chekhov liked to write stories that did away with all useless ornamentation." | Haruki Murakami | ||
