| ed3116a | The slickest way in the world to lie is to tell the right amount of truth at the right time-and then shut up. | sins-of-omission | Robert A. Heinlein | |
| 7a5dfe7 | Contrary to what you may have heard from Henry Rollins or/and Ian MacKaye and/or anyone else who joined a band after working in an ice cream shop, you can't really learn much about a person based on what kind of music they happen to like. As a personality test, it doesn't work even half the time. However, there is at least thing you learn: The most wretched people in the word are those who tell you they like every kind of music 'except .. | personality | Chuck Klosterman | |
| 05979af | Wold domination is exhausting and cliche. People ought to just focus on being individual responsible citizens of the earth instead of assholes. | Rachel Cohn | ||
| 89ca363 | She wanted to say something smart and kind, put together some combination of words to reach him where he'd reached her with his. But the thing was, there was more courage in these revelations of his than she had ever shown anyone, and in a world that was full of taking and cruelty, he was fucking breaking her heart with what he was giving her. | lover-mine xhex jr-ward | J.R. Ward | |
| 106b7a2 | The biggest truth to face now - what is probably making me unfunny now for the remainder of my life - is that I don't think people give a damn whether the planet goes or not. It seems to me as if everyone is living as members of Alcoholics Anonymous do, day by day. And a few more days will be enough. I know of very few people who are dreaming of a world for their grandchildren. | Kurt Vonnegut | ||
| fe3efda | To build a better world we need to replace the patchwork of lucky breaks and arbitrary advantages today that determine success--the fortunate birth dates and the happy accidents of history--with a society that provides opportunities for all. | Malcolm Gladwell | ||
| 349216b | My cancer is me. The tumors are made of me. They're made of me as surely as my brain and my heart are made of me. It is a civil war with a predetermined winner | john-green the-fault-in-our-stars | John Green | |
| 7cd0fac | A veces, lees un libro y te llena con este fervor evangelico raro, y te convences de que el mundo destrozado que nunca se pondra de nuevo junto a menos que y hasta que todos los seres humanos lean el libro. Y luego estan los libros como Una Afliccion Imperial, que no puedes decirle a la gente sobre, libros tan especiales y raros y tuyos de que la publicidad de su afecto se siente como una traicion. | John Green | ||
| f8935dc | I have been in Sorrow's kitchen and licked out all the pots. Then I have stood on the peaky mountain wrapped in rainbows, with a harp and a sword in my hands. | Zora Neale Hurston | ||
| 390b4a4 | Of course he wasn't dead. He could never be dead until she herself had finished feeling and thinking. The kiss of his memory made pictures of love and light against the wall. Here was peace. She pulled in her horizon like a great fish-net. Pulled it from around the waist of the world and draped it over her shoulder. So much of life in its meshes! She called in her soul to come and see. | Zora Neale Hurston | ||
| 2eb71a1 | I can imagine nothing more terrifying than an Eternity filled with men who were all the same. The only thing which has made life bearable...has been the diversity of creatures on the surface of the globe. | eternity | T.H. White | |
| 01d02c1 | I didn't feel like reading that night, so I went downstairs and watched a half-hour long commercial that advertised an exercise machine. They kept flashing a 1-800 number, so I called it. The woman who picked up the other end of the phone was named Michelle. And I told Michelle that I was a kid and did not need an exercise machine, but I hoped she was having a good night. That's when Michelle hung up on me. And I didn't mind a bit. | the-perks-of-being-a-wallflower | Stephen Chbosky | |
| 95982db | Because he sounded so lost-the Eric I knew had never been one to do anything other than assume others should serve him-I patted around under the covers for his hand. When I found it, I slid my own over it. His palm was turned up to meet my palm, and his fingers clasped mine. And though I would not have thought it possible to go to sleep holding hands with a vampire, that's exactly what I did. | funny true-blood sookie-stackhouse | Charlaine Harris | |
| da2a8e1 | Be well, do good work, and keep in touch. | Garrison Keillor | ||
| cbdd973 | May my heart be your shelter, and my arms be your home. | Marianne Williamson | ||
| 225df05 | The mystery of death, the riddle of how you could speak to someone and see them every day and then never again, was so impossible to fathom that of course we kept trying to figure it out, even when we were unconscious. | loss | Francine Prose | |
| 57d5c22 | Cam held her closer. "Marry me, Amelia. You're what I want. You're my fate." One hand slid to the back of her head, gripping the braids and ribbons to keep her mouth upturned. "Say yes." He nibbled at her lips, licked at them, opened them. He kissed her until she writhed in his arms, her pulse racing. "Say it, Amelia, and save me from ever having to spend a night with another woman. I'll sleep indoors. I'll get a haircut. God help me, I thi.. | Lisa Kleypas | ||

| 4c1376d | I didn't really care much about anything, so I guess I felt fine. | Megan Whalen Turner | ||
| 4950f7e | This love was a torment, and he resented bitterly the subjugation in which it held him; he was a prisoner and he longed for freedom. Sometimes he awoke in the morning and felt nothing; his soul leaped, for he thought he was free; he loved no longer; but in a little while, as he grew wide awake, the pain settled in his heart, and he knew that he was not cured yet. | W. Somerset Maugham | ||
| b5ee44b | How can two people hate so much without knowing each other? | hate joker | Alan Moore | |
| fde3b57 | Perhaps that is the secret. It is not what we do, so much as why we do it. | George R.R. Martin | ||
| 9306711 | Tyrion let the eunuch help him mount. "Lord Varys," he said from the saddle, "sometimes I feel as though you are the best friend I have in King's Landing and sometimes I feel you are my worst enemy." "How odd. I think quite the same of you." | friendship humor lord-varys tyrion-lannister | George R.R. Martin | |
| 1e0ed5f | I think one of the sweetest lessons taught by the Prophet, and yet one of the saddest, occurred close to the time of his death. He was required to leave his plan and vision of the Rocky Mountains and give himself up to face a court of supposed justice. These are his words: 'I am going like a lamb to the slaughter; but I am calm as a summer's morning; I have a conscience void of offense towards God, and towards all men' (D&C 135:4). That sta.. | religious lds uplifting | Thomas S. Monson | |

| 40dd509 | I'm just full of surprises." Watching her, he waved the wrapped bar from side to side. "You can have the candy if you sit on my lap." That sounds like something perverted old men say to young, stupid girls." | eve-dallas roarke | J.D. Robb | |
| 44f7141 | You cannot learn what you are made of if you rely on anyone or anything else to help you. | Christopher Paolini | ||
| 00b720d | Indeed, your biggest challenge may be to fully harness your strengths. You may be so busy trying to appear like a zestful, reward-sensitive extrovert that you undervalue your own talents, or feel underestimated by those around you. But when you're focused on a project that you care about, you probably find that your energy is boundless. | Susan Cain | ||

| 4a3884f | It's very simple. As you grow, you learn more. If you stayed at twenty-two, you'd always be as ignorant as you were at twenty-two. Aging is not just decay, you know. It's growth. It's more than the negative that you're going to die, it's also the positive that you understand you're going to die, and that you live a better life because of it. | learning life growth ignorance dying | Mitch Albom | |

| 962edaa | Sure, that's what I mean,' Doc Daneeka said. 'A little grease is what makes this world go round. One hand washes the other. Know what I mean? You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours.' Yossarian knew what he meant. That's not what I meant,' Doc Daneeka said, as Yossarian began scratching his back. | Joseph Heller | ||

| 93fd18d | The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason. | Hunter S. Thompson | ||
