| 0f821c5 | I felt like praying or something, when I was in bed, but I couldn't do it. I can't always pray when I feel like it. In the first place, I'm sort of an atheist. I like Jesus and all, but I don't care too much for most of the other stuff in the Bible. Take the Disciples, for instance. They annoy the hell out of me, if you want to know the truth. They were all right after Jesus was dead and all, but while He was alive, they were about as much .. | praying | J.D. Salinger | |
| f7c1699 | It is precisely because we resist the darkness in ourselves that we miss the depths of the loveliness, beauty, brilliance, creativity, and joy that lie at our core. | Thomas Moore | ||
| 00319f0 | We have nothing but our freedom. We have nothing to give you but your own freedom. We have no law but the single principle of mutual aid between individuals. We have no government but the single principle of free association. We have no states, no nations, no presidents, no premiers, no chiefs, no generals, no bosses, no bankers, no landlords, no wages, no charity, no police, no soldiers, no wars. Nor do we have much else. We are sharers, n.. | Ursula K. Le Guin | ||

| 3ca5a73 | He couldn't be dead. Not from the dagger, or those dozen pirates, or from the catapult. No, Sam couldn't be so stupid that he'd get himself killed. She'd... she'd... Well she'd kill him if he was dead. | sam | Sarah J. Maas | |
| 117f868 | Her mother placed a phantom hand over Aelin's heart. 'It is the strength of this that matters. No matter where you are, no matter how far, this will lead you home. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| f07fb8a | Fenrys ... You know, I don't actually know your family name." Fenrys threw a roguish wink at the queen. "Moonbeam." "It is not," Aelin hissed, choking on a laugh. Fenrys laid a hand on his heart. "I am blood-sworn to you. Would I lie?" | fenrys throne-of-glass-series throne-of-glass kingdom-of-ash sarah-j-maas | Sarah J. Maas | |

| 61c62be | I USHERED SOULS INTO THE NEXT WORLD. I WAS THE GRAVE OF ALL HOPE. I WAS THE ULTIMATE REALITY. I WAS THE ASSASSIN AGAINST WHOM NO LOCK WOULD HOLD. "Yes, point taken, but do you have any particular skills?" | Terry Pratchett | ||
| 885f151 | Watching a dog try to chew a large piece of toffee is a pastime fit for gods. Mr. Fusspot's mixed ancestry had given him a dexterity of jaw that was truly awesome. He somersaulted happily around the floor, making faces like a rubber gargoyle in a washing machine. | simile | Terry Pratchett | |
| 06f3e9d | The worth of things can't be measured by what they cost but by what the cost you to get it, that if anything costs you your faith or your family, then the price is too high, and that there are some things that will never wear out. | Bob Dylan | ||
| e2a7afd | Bad form, Regin! Wrong car." Immediately after, the house shook again. "Oh, much better!" Nix assured them. "That was Bowen's!" | Kresley Cole | ||

| ce6422b | Nothing is perfect. Flaws are interesting. Be the tree. | Laurie Halse Anderson | ||
| 13202cc | My parents didn't raise me to be religious. The closest we come to worship is the Trinity of Visa, Mastercard, and American Express. I think the Merryweather cheerleaders confuse me because I missed out on Sunday School. It has to be a miracle. There is no other explanation. How else could they sleep with the football team on Saturday night and be reincarnated as virginal goddesses on Monday? | funny | Laurie Halse Anderson | |
| 388cfcf | Slavery is a sin when whites were put to the yoke, but not the African. All men are created equal, unless we decide you are not a man. | slavery white-people dignity race-relations | Colson Whitehead | |
| 4b0fbf8 | Maybe I owe you something too, human," she said, drawing her pistol. Butler almost reacted, but decided to give Holly the benefit of the doubt. Captain Short plucked a gold coin from her belt, flicking it fifty feet into the moonlit sky. With one fluid movement, she brought her weapon up and loosed a single blast. The coin rose another fifty feet, then spun earthward. Artemis somehow managed to snatch it from the air. The first cool moveme.. | holly-short decency | Eoin Colfer | |

| e494ee1 | Give me your trust, said the Aes Sedai. On my shoulders I support the sky. Trust me to know and to do what is best, And I will take care of the rest. But trust is the color of a dark seed growing. Trust is the color of a heart's blood flowing. Trust is the color of a soul's last breath. Trust is the color of death. Give me your trust said the queen on her throne, for I must bear the burden alone. Trust me to lead and to judge and to rule, a.. | Robert Jordan | ||

| 1d486ec | Marriage and its entourage of possession and jealousy enslave the spirit. | jealousy marriage possession | Irvin D. Yalom | |
| e182c16 | If they want to flirt or initiate a friendship, they should carefully avoid giving the impression they are taking the initiative; men do not like tomboys, nor bluestockings, nor thinking women; too much audacity, culture, intelligence, or character frightens them. In most novels, as George Eliot observes, it is the dumb, blond heroine who outshines the virile brunette; and in The Mill on the Floss, Maggie tries in vain to reverse the roles.. | Simone de Beauvoir | ||
| de81c1c | We are all honorable men here, we do not have to give each other assurances as if we were lawyers. | Mario Puzo | ||
| ff34f8a | In my life long study of human beings, I have found that no matter how hard they try, they have found no way yet to prevent the arrival of Monday morning. And they do try, of course, but Monday always comes, and all the drones have to scuttle back to their dreary workday lives of meaningless toin and suffering. | vintage lizard | Jeff Lindsay | |
| 7f0aceb | She asked me what was wrong, and I told her I had to end it. She was surprised, and asked my why I thought so. I told her it wasn't a thought, more a feeling, like I couldn't breathe and knew I had to get some air. It was a survival instinct, I told her. She said it was time for dinner. Then she sat me down and told me not to worry. She said moments like this were like waking up in the middle of the night: You're scared, your'e disoriented,.. | David Levithan | ||
| df9fe5a | you know, how people say it's good luck if a bird shits on you? and people believe it! i just want to grab them and say, 'dude, don't you realize this whole superstition was made up because no one could think of anything else good to say to a person who'd just been shit upon? | David Levithan | ||
| 0c739d4 | Out of the millions of people we live among, most of whom we habitually ignore and are ignored by in turn, there are always a few that hold hostage our capacity for happiness, whom we could recognize by their smell alone and whom we would rather die than be without. | Alain de Botton | ||
| 2fed789 | For every thing that lives is Holy. | William Blake | ||
| 73b0ed6 | For I dance And drink and sing, Till some blind hand Shall brush my wing. If thought is life And strength and breath And the want Of thought is death Then am I A happy fly | William Blake | ||
| c5e7ac0 | I suspect that beneath your offensively and vulgarly effeminate facade there may be a soul of sorts. Have you read widely in Boethius?" "Who? Oh, heavens no. I never even read newspapers." "Then you must begin a reading program immediately so that you may understand the crises of our age," Ignatius said solemnly. "Begin with the late Romans, including Boethius, of course. Then you should dip rather extensively into early Medieval. You may s.. | John Kennedy Toole | ||
| b2d1c9e | There are rocks deep enough in this earth that no matter what the rupture, they will never see the surface. There is, I think, a fear of love. There is a fear of love. | Colum McCann | ||

| da65e74 | And did you have to hack his arms off?" "Yes, I did. He wouldn't go through the door." "You say it like you're proud of it." I was proud of it. It was an example of quick thinking in a difficult situation." | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 030a7f5 | You're the most experienced investigator I've got who's not tied up in something, and I can't ask the Consort to look look into it, because A) she and Curran are working on something else and B) when the Consort gets involved, half of the world blows up. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| 2cfae5c | The knocking persisted. It wasn't Derek. His knock would be careful, almost apologetic. This bastard knocked like he was doing me a favor. | Ilona Andrews | ||
| c46ad8e | I lifted one foot from the brackish water, and the bunny slippers were soaked and drooped pathetically. Even the fangs seemed robbed of any charm. "Don't worry," I told it. "Someone will pay for your suffering. Heavily. With screaming." I felt I should repeat it for the other slipper, in case there should be any bad feelings between the two. One should never create tension between ones's footwear. --POV is Myrnin, page 221" | Rachel Caine | ||
