| 71fbc02 | Ah, i just know. That's my talent, if you were wondering. I just know things." She rolled her eyes, but she was grinning. "What a unique talent" "I know. I amaze myself" | dawson shadows | Jennifer L. Armentrout | |
| 16855d9 | We speak with one voice," Walt said. "Especially on this matter. No one hurts Sadie Kane." | Rick Riordan | ||
| 1877568 | Percy, lesser beings do many horrible things in the name of the gods. That does not mean we gods approve. The way our sons and daughters act in our names... well, it usually says more about THEM than it does about us. | Rick Riordan | ||
| 7048cdf | In case you're wondering, the underside of a sheep doesn't smell that great. Imagine a winter sweater that's been dragged through the mud and left in the laundry hamper for a week. Something like that. | Rick Riordan | ||
| 36821f4 | Leo had a weird memory of a missile hurtling towards him and screaming like a little girl ... what the heck had that been about? | Rick Riordan | ||
| f7f7476 | Akmon squealed with delight. "I knew you were as smart as Hercules! I will call you Black Bottom, the Sequel!" | leo-valdez | Rick Riordan | |
| 32c1721 | I stared at her. Maybe I wasn't the brightest guy in the world when it came to girls, but I was pretty sure Rachel had just dumped me, which was lame considering we'd never even been together. | rachel-elizabeth-dare | Rick Riordan | |
| 5158715 | I figured something out. You can't hold onto hate forever. It won't do a thing to the person you hate, but it'll poison you, sure enough. | Rick Riordan | ||
| 7f82f77 | If you're listening to this, congratulations! You survived Doomsday. I'd like to apologize straightaway for any inconvenience the end of the world may have caused you. The earthquakes, rebellions, riots,tornadoes, floods, tsunamis, and of course the giant snake who swallowed the sun--I'm afraid most of that was our fault. Carter and I decided we should at least explain how it happened. | humour funny giant-snake ra tsunamis riordan tornado rebellious riots serpent floods earthquakes survive sun snake funny-and-random sadie-kane destruction | Rick Riordan | |
| 64c1fd5 | Waitress!" Hedge called. "Six double espressos, and whatever these guys want. Put it on the girl's tab." | Rick Riordan | ||
| a3fa6ce | Eat bitter, taste sweet," Frank said. "I hate that proverb." "But it's true. What do they call it these days---no pain, no gain? Same concept. You do the easy thing, the appealing thing, the peaceful thing, mostly it turns out sour in the end. But if you take the hard path---ah, that's how you reap the sweet rewards. Duty. Sacrifice. They mean something." | Rick Riordan | ||
| a22f48c | Nico realized he was still leaning against Will. He pushed him away and stood on his own two feet. 'I'll do what I need to.' Will rolled his eyes. 'Fine, Death Boy. If you want to get yourself killed -' 'Do not call me Death Boy! | Rick Riordan | ||
| 593cfca | I too love everything that flows: rivers, sewers, lava, semen, blood, bile, words, sentences. I love the amniotic fluid when it spills out of the bag. I love the kidney with it's painful gall-stones, it's gravel and what-not; I love the urine that pours out scalding and the clap that runs endlessly; I love the words of hysterics and the sentences that flow on like dysentery and mirror all the sick images of the soul... | Henry Miller | ||
| a9d4f6f | Barack Obama strikes at the heart of our deepest insecurities. He is a good father while many of us aren't. He wears suits to his job while we wear overalls, if we're lucky enough to have a job at all. His wife tells us that we shouldn't be feeding our children certain foods, and we hate her for it--not because we think she's wrong but because we know she's right. Many | J.D. Vance | ||
| 5aabdb5 | only someone who'd never been an animal would put up a sign saying not to feed them.... | humor | Jonathan Safran Foer | |
| eaef080 | No matter how much I feel, I'm not going to let it out. If I have to cry, I'm gonna cry on the inside. If I have to bleed, I'll bruise. If my heart starts going crazy, I'm not gonna tell everyone in the world about it. It doesn't help anything. It just makes everyone's life worse. | Jonathan Safran Foer | ||
| e3979c2 | He was a tool of the boss, without brains or backbone. | Franz Kafka | ||
| a5676b2 | Once her love had been publicized, it would gain weight, become a burden. | Milan Kundera | ||
| e758fbb | Another image comes to mind: Nietzsche leaving his hotel in Turin. Seeing a horse and a coachman beating it with a whip, Nietzsche went up to the horse and, before the coachman's very eyes, put his arms around the horse's neck and burst into tears. That took place in 1889, when Nietzsche, too, had removed himself from the world of people. In other words, it was at the time when his mental illness had just erupted. But for that very reason I.. | Milan Kundera | ||
| 7207705 | Everything, everything seemed once-upon-a-time. | Haruki Murakami | ||
| fe6483f | most people in the world don't really use their brains to think. And people who don't think are the ones who don't listen to others. | thinking | Haruki Murakami | |
| 75fa6bc | Every once in a while she'll get worked up and cry like that. But that's ok. She's letting her feelings out. The scary thing is not being able to do that. Then your feelings build up and harden and die inside. That's when you're in big trouble. | norwegian-wook murakami japan | Haruki Murakami | |
| 1baa85e | A moment might be a thousand different things. | Kim Edwards | ||
| 045d01d | You'll lie wi' me now," he said quietly. "And I shall use ye as I must. And if you'll have your revenge for it, then take it and welcome, for my soul is yours, in all the black corners of it." | Diana Gabaldon | ||
| b8fbad4 | When two humans have lived together for many years it usually happens that each has tones of voice and expressions of face which are almost unendurably irritating to the other. Work on that. Bring fully into the consciousness of your patient that particular lift of his mother's eyebrows which he learned to dislike in the nursery, and let him think how much he dislikes it. Let him assume that she knows how annoying it is and does it to annoy.. | compassion | C.S. Lewis | |
| 34d55ab | But I will not tell you how long or short the way will be; only that it lies across a river. But do not fear that, for I am the great Bridge Builder. | C.S. Lewis | ||
| f0d8f33 | I felt ashamed." "But of what? Psyche, they hadn't stripped you naked or anything?" "No, no, Maia. Ashamed of looking like a mortal -- of being a mortal." "But how could you help that?" "Don't you think the things people are most ashamed of are things they can't help?" | shame | C.S. Lewis | |
| b28c0b3 | But because of his telling, many who did not believe have come to believe, and some who did not care have come to care. He tells the story, out of infinite pain, partly to honor the dead, but also to warn the living - to warn the living that it could happen again and that it must never happen again. Better than one heart be broken a thousand times in the retelling, he has decided, if it means that a thousand other hearts need not be broken .. | Elie Wiesel | ||
| 562c5df | I know how much you grieve over those who are under your care: those you try to help and fail, those you cannot help. Have faith in God and remember that He will is His own way and in His own time complete what we so poorly attempt. Often we do not achieve for others the good that we intend but achieve something, something that goes on from our effort. Good is an overflow. Where we generously and sincerely intend it, we are engaged in a wor.. | grief god love | Iris Murdoch | |
| b3be26f | You'll find out it's little savors and little things that count more than big ones. A walk on a spring morning is better than an eighty-mile ride in a hopped-up car, you know why? Because it's full of flavors, full of a lot of things growing. You've time to seek and find. I know, you're after the broad effect now, I suppose that's fit and proper. But you got to look at grapes as well as watermelons. You greatly admire skeletons and I like f.. | Ray Bradbury | ||
| ad96e11 | But most of all, I like to watch people. Sometimes I ride the subway all day and look at them and listen to them. I just want to figure out who they are and what they want and where they are going. Sometimes I even go to Fun parks and ride in the jet cars when they race on the edge of town at midnight and the police don't care as long as they're insured. As long as everyone has ten thousand insurance everyone's happy. Sometimes I sneak arou.. | Ray Bradbury | ||

| 967d824 | Is it the sea you hear in me, Its dissatisfactions? Or the voice of nothing, that was you madness? | Sylvia Plath | ||
| 93f66e9 | I hear the question upon your lips: What is it to be a colour? Colour is the touch of the eye, music to the deaf, a word out of the darkness. Because I've listened to souls whispering - like the susurrus of the wind - from book to book and object to object for tens or thousands of years, allow me to say that my touch resembles the touch of angels. Part of me, the serious half, calls out to your vision while the mirthful half sours through t.. | color colour red painting | Orhan Pamuk | |
| 2e32094 | Grace has a grand laughter in it. | Marilynne Robinson | ||
| b9e3d96 | And then it was, that grief and pain made themselves known to me as never before. Note this, because I knew the full absurdity of Fate and Fortune and Nature more truly than a human can bear to know it. And perhaps the description of this, brief as it is, may give consolation to another. The worst takes its time to come, and then to pass. The truth is, you cannot prepare anyone for this, nor convey an understanding of it through language. I.. | pain | Anne Rice | |
| 3d78b0c | Next time I'll just send the three of you e-mails. What was I thinking when I decided to have this meeting? (Acheron) Oh, I know. That men who are a couple of thousand years old could actually behave like grownups? (Nick) (Zarek elbowed Nick in the stomach.) Oops. Involuntary arm spasm. (Zarek) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| bf69b5a | I accept you as you are, and I will always hold you close in my heart. I will walk beside you forever. (Fang) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| f3d3375 | Why you sleeping on the ground out here, Mr. Boy Human? The Simi don't think this is a safe thing to do. Someone might think you dead and steal something or they could kill you. Maybe not if they think you dead already, but then again, people do weird things all the time - like killing dead people even though they're dead. Is that overkill or is that just dumb? Never mind. So you should probably get up soon and not sleep here. Did you lose .. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 4435f3a | Chloe? It's me." After a pause, he added, "Derek," like I could mistake that deep rumble for anyone else, like I could mistake that little part of me that perked up like an eager puppy saying, "It's him. Quick! Go see what he wants." God, how had I been so blind? It seemed so obvious now." | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 409a4f9 | Believe me, I wanted to say. I've tried. Oh, and also, I'm wretchedly in love with you. Keep it light. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
