| d09cd45 | That's us," he said. "Those five nuts right there." "Which one is me?" I asked. "The little deformed one," Zoe suggested. "Oh, shut up." | zoe-nightshade percy-jackson | Rick Riordan | |
| 0957b57 | That was Hera. Her Majesty, the Loose Cannon. | Rick Riordan | ||
| ecf46f7 | If anyone asks you if you're taken," I said, "the answer is yes." "I think I can live with that," he promised. "Good," I said. "Because you don't want to see me be cross." "Too late." "Shut up and dance, Walt." "Shut up and dance, Walt." We did--with the music of a psychotic griffin screaming behind us, and the sirens and horns of Brooklyn wailing below. It was quite romantic." | walt sadie | Rick Riordan | |
| 9c557d6 | Curled up at the base of the scales, fast asleep, was the oddest monster I'd seen yet. It had the head of crocodile with a lion's mane. The front half of its body was a lion, but the back end was sleek, brown, and fat - a hippo, I decided. The odd bit was, the animal was tiny - I mean, no larger than an average poodle, which I suppose made him a hippodoodle. | Rick Riordan | ||
| a18aa8f | I've never felt so bereft and panicky. What do I do without my phone? How do I function? My hand keeps automatically reaching for my phone in its usual place in my pocket. Every instinct in me wants to text someone, 'OMG, I've lost my phone! ' but how can do that without a bloody phone? | Sophie Kinsella | ||
| 8e9ac4a | You're sad because you're sad. It's psychic. It's the age. It's chemical. Go see a shrink or take a pill, or hug your sadness like an eyeless doll you need to sleep. Well, all children are sad but some get over it. Count your blessings. Better than that, | Margaret Atwood | ||
| 30e4130 | How easy it is to invent a humanity, for anyone at all. | humanity | Margaret Atwood | |
| 6f759bb | These things sneak up on him for no reason, these flashes of irrational happiness. It's probably a vitamin deficiency. | Margaret Atwood | ||
| 13bd6f7 | Sometimes she would cry. I was so lonely, she'd say. You have no idea how lonely I was. And I had friends, I was a lucky one, but I was lonely anyway. I admired my mother in some ways, although things between us were never easy. She expected too much from me, I felt. She expected me to vindicate her life for her, and the choices she'd made. I didn't want to live my life on her terms. I didn't want to be the model offspring, the incarnation .. | Margaret Atwood | ||
| c2d826f | A bad year and a bad month to all the backbiting bitches in the world!... | Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra | ||
| b0a69a3 | Each of us is an artist of our days; the greater our integrity and awareness, the more original and creative our time will become. | integrity originality awareness creativity | John O'Donohue | |
| 77552c1 | Your house, being the place in which you read, can tell us the position books occupy in your life, if they are a defense you set up to keep the outside world at a distance, if they are a dream into which you sink as if into a drug, or bridges you cast toward the outside, toward the world that interests you so much that you want to multiply and extend its dimensions through books. | reading home | Italo Calvino | |
| f7aba68 | How beautiful life is and how sad! How fleeting, with no past and no future, only a limitless . | James Clavell | ||
| dca66c2 | I have always been accused of taking the things I love - football, of course, but also books and records - much too seriously, and I do feel a kind of anger when I hear a bad record, or when someone is lukewarm about a book that means a lot to me. | Nick Hornby | ||
| 546aafd | You can't be careful on a skateboard. | Stephen King | ||
| 7623afe | I miss you terribly sometimes, but in general I go on living with all the energy I can muster. Just as you take care of the birds and the fields every morning, every morning I wind my own spring. I give it some 36 good twists by the time I've got up, brushed my teeth, shaved, eaten breakfast, changed my clothes, left the dorm, and arrived at the university. I tell myself, "OK, let's make this day another good one." I hadn't noticed before, .. | Haruki Murakami | ||
| bee925b | I am struck by how, except when you're young, you really need to prioritize in life, figuring out in what order you should divide up your time and energy. If you don't get that sort of system set by a certain age, you'll lack focus and your life will be out of balance. | Haruki Murakami | ||
| d9d2cbf | Sometimes, when one is moving silently through such an utterly desolate landscape, an overwhelming hallucination can make one feel that oneself, as an individual human being, is slowly being unraveled. The surrounding space is so vast that it becomes increasingly difficult to keep a balanced grip on one's own being. The mind swells out to fill the entire landscape, becoming so diffuse in the process that one loses the ability to keep it fas.. | desolation hallucination horizon landscape | Haruki Murakami | |
| 35a5ea5 | It is so easy to think that the world revolves around you, but all you have to do is stare up at the sky to realize it isn't that way at all. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 64cd2f0 | That's just pain she said. It goes eventually. And when it's gone, there's no lasting memory. Not the worst of it anyway. It fades. Our minds aren't made to hold on to the particulars of pain the way we do bliss. It's a gift God gives us, a sign of His care for us. | Charles Frazier | ||
| 3ec81b3 | Now she hates me. I have taught her that, at least. | William Faulkner | ||
| 9b644a7 | That was when I learned that words are no good; that words dont ever fit even what they are trying to say at. When he was born I knew that motherhood was invented by someone who had to have a word for it because the ones that had the children didn't care whether there was a word for it or not. I knew that fear was invented by someone that had never had the fear; pride, who never had the pride. | William Faulkner | ||
| 7e9d3c8 | Meanings is not important, said the BFG. I cannot be right all the time. Quite often I is left instead of right. | Roald Dahl | ||
| aaae578 | Did I hate him, then? Indeed, I believe so. A love like that can grow to be nine-tenths hatred and still call itself love. | mania | C.S. Lewis | |
| 6d202f2 | There is nothing like suspense and anxiety for barricading a human's mind against the Enemy. He wants men to be concerned with what they do; our business is to keep them thinking about what will happen to them. | faith perspective focus fears suspense | C.S. Lewis | |
| 324cfea | Hello!" He said hello and then said, "What are you up to now?" "I'm still crazy. The rain feels good. I love to walk in it. "I don't think I'd like that," he said. "You might if you tried." "I never have." She licked her lips. "Rain even tastes good." "What do you do, go around trying everything once?" he asked. "Sometimes twice." | rain | Ray Bradbury | |

| e7dc776 | I shall never get out of this! There are two of me now: This new absolutely white person and the old yellow one, And the white person is certainly the superior one. She doesn't need food, she is one of the real saints. At the beginning I hated her, she had no personality -- She lay in bed with me like a dead body And I was scared, because she was shaped just the way I was Only much whiter and unbreakable and with no complaints. I coul.. | Sylvia Plath | ||
| 7f36aad | I had forgotten that time wasn't fixed like concrete but in fact was fluid as sand, or water. I had forgotten that even misery can end. | Joyce Carol Oates | ||
| 9261038 | But you love books, then," Aunt Queen was saying. I had to listen. "Oh, yes," Lestat said. "Sometimes they are the only thing that keeps me alive." "What a strange thing to say at your age," she laughed. "No, but one can feel desperate at any age, don't you think? The young are eternally desperate," he said frankly. "And books, they offer one hope --- that a whole universe might open up from between the covers, and falling into that new uni.. | Anne Rice | ||
| 113042a | Come home with me, Acheron. I'll make it well worth your while. (Artemis) I have a headache. (Acheron) You've had a headache for two hundred years! (Artemis) And you've had PMS for eleven thousand. (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| f06e295 | What the matter, Zarek? You afraid to die? (Thanatos) Dying's easy. It's living that's hard. (Zarek) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| a3a483a | Tori walked toward the bed. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw her give Derek a once-over. "You know, from this angle, he doesn't look too bad," she said. I glared at her. "I'm just saying . . ." I leaned over Derek, calling him as loudly as I dared. "Personally, I'm more a running back girl myself," Tori said. "But if you like the linebacker type, he's--" My glower shut her up" | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 0fd7210 | I'm suprised he doesn't send Christmas cards," Antonio said. "I can see them now. Tasteful, embossed veilum cards, the best he can steal. Little notes in perfect penmanship,"Happy holidays. Hope everyone is well. I sliced up Ethan Ritter in Miami and scattered his remains in the Atlantic. Best wishes for the new year. Karl." | otherworld werewolves | Kelley Armstrong | |
| b561e41 | Ah, love may be strong, but a habit is stronger, And I knew when I loved by the way I behaved. | Peter S. Beagle | ||

| a8f62ca | It is a good lesson - though it may often be a hard one - for a man... to step aside out of the narrow circle in which his claims are recognized, and to find how utterly devoid of significance, beyond that circle, is all that he achieves, and all he aims at. | Nathaniel Hawthorne | ||
| 82e0f90 | It seems to me that in the orbit of our world you are the North Pole, I the South--so much in balance, in agreement--and yet... the whole world lies between. | Thomas Wolfe | ||
| a899dfd | All other trades are contained in that of war. Is that why war endures? No. It endures because young men love it and old men love it in them. Those that fought, those that did not. That's your notion. The judge smiled. Men are born for games. Nothing else. Every child knows that play is nobler than work. He knows too that the worth or merit of a game is not inherent in the game itself but rather in the value of that which is put at hazard. .. | war games | Cormac McCarthy | |
| 2ba03df | Paris is a woman but London is an independent man puffing his pipe in a pub. | london paris | Jack Kerouac |
