| 50fd5f8 | All this time he'd thought it was her feelings for Stephen that kept Meridith at arm's length. But Stephen was gone, and still she held back. He'd seen the look in her eyes. She'd been putty in his hands when he'd touched her. And then a wall had come up, shutting him out. What gave? And equally as baffling, how had Meridith, in two and a half months, gone from adversary to keeper of his heart? | Denise Hunter | ||

Un tassi lo reca, un metro lo porta via, la torre non ci bada, e il Pantheon neppure. Parigi e solo un sogno, Gabriel e solo un'ombra (incantevole), Zazie il sogno d'un'ombra (o di un incubo) e tutta questa storia il sogno di un sogno, l'ombra di un'ombra, poco piu di un delirio scritto a macchina da un romanziere idiota (oh! mi .. | Raymond Queneau | ||

| 44b2cb6 | Pierrot had no particular opinion on public morals, or the future of civilization. No one had ever told him that he was intelligent. He had frequently been told, rather, that he behaved like an idiot or that he bore some resemblance to the moon. At all events, here and now, he was happy, and content, vaguely. | Raymond Queneau | ||

| 926dd46 | So there are long conversations in cafes about Jean-Paul Sartre, and Simone de Beauvoir, and Albert Camus and Raymond Queneau, and all the boys that we were just beginning to get excited about in London when the first French literature filtered across after the Liberation. My God, Leo, there is some very interesting stuff being written in France at present on the philosophical and literary front. I begin to get some glimmering too about 'ex.. | Iris Murdoch | ||

| c67dcf4 | Paul Schrader drove past theaters in New York where the film originally played and were at once thrilled and sickened to see lines of young men dressed in Bickle's familiar outfit of army fatigues and blue jeans, waiting to see the film for, presumably, second and third go-rounds. | Shawn Levy | ||
| 5b769d4 | But all this does not imply that foreign aid, except the humanitarian kind, should cease. Putting an end to foreign aid is impractical and would likely lead to additional human suffering. It is impractical because citizens of many Western nations feel guilt and unease about the economic and humanitarian disasters around the world, and foreign aid makes them believe that something is being done to combat the problems. Even if this something .. | Daron Acemoğlu | ||

Whether you like it or not, we are your blood." " my blood." "Aye," agreed the marquess, sober. "Although 'twould seem you've gotten the better half by far. All beauty, none of the beast." She blinked at that, and crossed her arms. "How charming! Had you planned that for long?" "Only since this morni.. | Shana Abe | ||

| 43a7fea | Shocking," said one of a pair of fashionable young ladies seated upon a bench. She lifted her newspaper closer to her nose, scanning the print by the waning light. The spectacular loss of the Monfield gemsones was included in all five evening editions of the London papers. "Indeed," agreed the other, smoothing the pleats of her petticoat. "They didn't even mention the bracelet. And it is particularly fine." The first woman lowered her pape.. | Shana Abe | ||
| 28462da | Zane gestured to the table. "Did you see what I brun-brought?" She shook her head, turning back to the papers. "I've read these." "Not that one. Nipped it from The Spotted Dog. Last week's news, but I thought you'd like the bottom-right bit." "At least your reading is coming along." "An' I washed my face last Sunday," he said virtuously. -Zane & Rue" | Shana Abe | ||
| 5ccb345 | Are the family lists complete yet?" he asked George. "Aye, my lord. We've gathered the names of every possible successful runner for the last forty years. Not many men, I'll tell you that. Six at most, and all were thought to be very much dead. Four apparently lost to fire-you remember the blaze that leveled the tavern in '33-one to drowning, and one bloke to, ah, wolves." Kit raised his brows. "Wolves?" "That's what his son said.

Grady paused with his palm pressed flat against the tabletop; all the other men froze. "What?" "No," Kit said once more, very polite. "Be seated. All of you." "Why are we wasting-" "Be ." Even his old nemesis knew to obey that tone. It sliced across the room slick as steel, resou.. | Shana Abe | ||
| 55fcfc4 | He straightened. "Are you ready?" "Yes." He nodded, his gaze traveling the length of her body, deliberately, slowly, as if to memorize her as she stood. "Then may I have a kiss?" he asked, unmoving. "For luck?" She felt her heart pick up. She felt her face grow hot. "You see? I'm asking, not demanding." He lifted his hands to her, palms up. "Even the most beastly of us can learn." Rue dropped her gaze to the ground, discomfited. "I don't .. | Shana Abe | ||
| 207dd4e | I confess, as much as I enjoy you in breeches, you hold up that gown rather well." She studied him through the eyeholes. "You truly stopped trying to be charming." "You're the most ravishing creature in the world, sweet Rue, even when hidden behind feathers and beads. How was that?" "Adequate, if insincere." "Then you mistake me." He took up her free hand and pressed her fingertips to his lips, gold to gold, sending a flash of sudden, sen.. | Shana Abe | ||
| 66ebb35 | There are things in this world," she said steadily, still holding Zane's eyes, "that defy easy words. There are things in this world worth protecting, fragile things, secret things. Things that would do great harm should they ever be handled carelessly." "Rue." The marquess loomed just beyond her. "Things like magic." She touched a finger to Zane's cheek, a shock of warmth. "Things like love." -Rue, Zane, & Kit" | Shana Abe | ||

| 0e7165b | The United States and the Soviet Union are different. . . . America's new president, Richard Nixon, is a longtime rightist, a leader of the anti-communists there. I like to deal with rightists. They say what they really think--not like the leftists, who say one thing and mean another.72 | John Lewis Gaddis | ||

| d23f99d | It's no stretch to say, then, that Thucydides coaches all who read him. For as his greatest modern interpreter (himself a sometime coach) has gently reminded us, the Greeks, despite their antiquity, "may have believed things we have either forgotten or never known; and we must keep open the possibility that in some respects, at least, they were wiser than we." | John Lewis Gaddis | ||
