| 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." | percy-jackson zoe-nightshade | 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." | sadie walt | 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. | awareness creativity integrity originality | 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. | home reading | 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 fears focus perspective suspense | C.S. Lewis | |
| a1f7f0a | Meet me in Cognito, baby. In Cognito, we'll have nothing to hide. | Tom Robbins | ||

| f02469d | Dreams don't come true. Dreams die. Dreams get compromised. Dreams end up dealing meth in a booth at the back of the Olive Garden. Dreams choke to death on bay leaves. Dreams get spleen cancer. | Douglas Coupland | ||
| 011bf60 | By the age of twenty, you know you're not going to be a rock star. By twenty-five, you know you're not going to be a dentist or any kind of professional. And by thirty, darkness starts moving in- you wonder if you're ever going to be fulfilled, let alone wealthy and successful. By thirty-five, you know, basically, what you're going to be doing for the rest of your life, and you become resigned to your fate... ...I mean, why do people live s.. | fulfillment life mid-life-crisis quarter-life-crisis | Douglas Coupland | |
| 47dbc18 | Annoyed?" said Sophie. "Why should I be annoyed? Someone only filled the castle with rotten aspic, and deafened everyone in Porthaven, and scared Calcifer to a cinder, and broke a few hundred hearts. Why should that annoy me?" | howl-s-moving-castle humor sophie-hatter | Diana Wynne Jones | |
| 97cbb8a | Oh! I'm stupid as well as insane. | Tamora Pierce | ||

| 04871e3 | Marcela amou-me durante quinze meses e onze contos de reis | Machado de Assis | ||
| 16b6df6 | PETA doesn't want stressed animals to be cruelly crowded into sheds, ankle-deep in their own crap, because they don't want any animals to die-ever-and basically think chickens should, in time, gain the right to vote. I don't want animals stressed or crowded or treated cruelly or inhumanely because that makes them probably less delicious. | Anthony Bourdain | ||
| c1511a4 | You know a guy a longtime, and I mean really know him, you don't get used to the idea that he's dead just overnight. | S. E. Hinton | ||
| bffc642 | I liked my books and clouds and sunsets. | S.E. Hinton | ||
| c77f65b | Some people seek meaning in life through personal gain, through personal relationship, or through personal experiences. However, it seems to me that being blessed with the intellect to divine the ultimate secrets of nature gives meaning enough to life. | Michio Kaku | ||
| 2a7063a | There was a deliberate voluptuousness that was both thrilling and repulsive. And as she arched her neck she actually licked her lips like an animal till I could see in the moonlight the moisture Then lapped the white, sharp teeth. Lower and lower went her head. I closed my eyes in a languorous ecstasy and waited. | Bram Stoker | ||
| 33d980a | I have crossed oceans of time to find you. | Bram Stoker | ||
| a4fc211 | I decided early in graduate school that I needed to do something about my moods. It quickly came down to a choice between seeing a psychiatrist or buying a horse. Since almost everyone I knew was seeing a psychiatrist, and since I had an absolute belief that I should be able to handle my own problems, I naturally bought a horse. | mood-swings psychiatry | Kay Redfield Jamison |
