| 4038110 | It's a rare gift, to know where you need to be, before you've been to all the places you don't need to be. | earthsea fantasy inspirational magic | Ursula K. Le Guin | |
| cd205ef | To the blessed darkness from which we are born, and to which we return. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 65ca7d6 | Celaena threw her weight into the dagger she held aloft, and gained an inch. His arms strained. She was going to kill him. She truly going to kill him. He made himself look into her eyes, look at the face so twisted with rage that he couldn't find her. "Celaena," he said, squeezing her wrists so hard that he hoped the pain registered somewhere- wherever she had gone. But she still wouldn't lossen her grip on the blade. "Celaena, I'm your fr.. | chaol | Sarah J. Maas | |
| 9bb2c9d | I belong to NO ONE. But my heart belongs to you | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 8ded279 | OMG OMG OMG, Shane is totally crushing on the new roomie! I can't believe it. I always pictured Shane going after blond beach hotties. Who knew he liked big brains and teeny little bodies? Although, to be fair, she is cute as a button. (Why do we say that? What's so cute about a button, anyway?) | Rachel Caine | ||
| 504cb7c | It's been the toughest week of my life, not touching you. Not talking to you. Waiting to see what you were going to do." He kissed her again, a warm, damp touch of lips, exquisitely controlled. "But it doesn't matter whether you stay or go. I'll still need you. So if you want to go off to Boston, Ill wait. Right here, whenever you need me." | Rachel Caine | ||

| d11a55d | And before you ask, no, you're not driving, Myrnin. I remember the last time.' 'That accident was not my fault.' 'You were the only one on the road, and the mailbox actually didn't leap out in front of you. No arguments. You sit in the back, too. | Rachel Caine | ||
| e755345 | Lost really has two disparate meanings. Losing things is about the familiar falling away, getting lost is about the unfamiliar appearing. There are objects and people that disappear from your sight or knowledge or possession; you lose a bracelet, a friend, the key. You still know where you are. Everything is familiar except that there is one item less, one missing element. Or you get lost, in which case the world has become larger than your.. | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| d48c8ee | Listen: you are not yourself, you are crowds of others, you are as leaky a vessel as was ever made, you have spent vast amounts of your life as someone else, as people who died long ago, as people who never lived, as strangers you never met. The usual I we are given has all the tidy containment of the kind of character the realist novel specializes in and none of the porousness of our every waking moment, the loose threads, the strange drea.. | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| 88d6113 | Books are like flypaper, memories cling to the printed pages better than anything else. | memories | Cornelia Funke | |
| bbe0eae | No matter what you do it's bound to be a waste of time in the end so you might as well go mad. | Jack Kerouac | ||
| df0b6ba | I do understand that you can look into someone's eyes," I heard myself saying, "and suddenly know that life will be impossible without them. Know that their voice can make your heart miss a beat and that their company is all your happiness can ever desire and that their absence will leave your soul alone, bereft and lost." | Bernard Cornwell | ||
| b14dd6d | Methinks we have a clue. Be still, my heart. | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| e885ac3 | It seems wisest to assume the worst from the beginning...and let anything better come as a surprise. | Jules Verne | ||
| 902782d | That's why people take vacations. No to relax or find excitement or see new places. To escape the death that exists in routine things. | Don DeLillo | ||
| 0eed73f | One way to pick a future is to believe it's inevitable. | Richard Bach | ||

| c84cf4e | You don't even know where I'm going." "I don't care. I'd like to go anywhere." | wanderlust | John Steinbeck | |
| 7e36dd1 | The Western States nervous under the beginning change. Texas and Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas, New Mexico, Arizona, California. A single family moved from the land. Pa borrowed money from the bank, and now the bank wants the land. The land company--that's the bank when it has land --wants tractors, not families on the land. Is a tractor bad? Is the power that turns the long furrows wrong? If this tractor were ours it would be good--not min.. | tom-joad | John Steinbeck | |
| 373c9f7 | Occasionally in life we come upon things we can't understand, because we have never seen anything similar. | Arthur Golden | ||

| 8bcc1fc | God bless us, every one! | prayer | Charles Dickens | |
| bb49bed | I know that she deserves the best and purest love the heart of man can offer," said Mrs. Maylie; "I know that the devotion and affection of her nature require no ordinary return, but one that shall be deep and lasting." | love women | Charles Dickens | |
| ef950a0 | The cloud of caring for nothing, which overshadowed him with such a fatal darkness, was very rarely pierced by the light within him. | Charles Dickens | ||
| 6674582 | Anything, anything would be better than this agony of mind, this creeping pain that gnaws and fumbles and caresses one and never hurts quite enough. | Jean-Paul Sartre | ||
| 38bb754 | Boredom is a mask frustration wears. | Neal Stephenson | ||
| 35a2bf0 | Take me with you. I want a doomed love. I want streets at night, wind and rain, no one wondering where I am. | Michael Cunningham | ||
| 1e098e7 | People simply feel better about themselves when they're good at something. | self-esteem | Stephen R. Covey | |
| f795b13 | I don't mean I'd mind being rich and famous. That's very much on my schedule, and someday I'll try to get around to it; but if it happens, I'd like to have my ego tagging along. I want to still be me when I wake up one fine morning and have breakfast at Tiffany's. | Truman Capote | ||

| 16f5f3c | As the pain that can be told is but half a pain, so the pity that questions has little healing in its touch. What Lily craved was the darkness made by enfolding arms, the silence which is not solitude, but compassion holding its breath. | empathy love | Edith Wharton | |
| 659e9ad | The room was not a room to elevate the soul. Louis XIV, to pick a name at random, would not have liked it, would have found it not sunny enough, and insufficiently full of mirrors. He would have desired someone to pick up the socks, put the records away, and maybe burn the place down. Michelangelo would have been distressed by its proportions, which were neither lofty nor shaped by any noticeable inner harmony or symmetry, other than that a.. | Douglas Adams | ||
| a9b891a | Take almost any path you please, and ten to one it carries you down in a dale, and leaves you there by a pool in the stream. There is magic in it. Let the most absent-minded of men be plunged in his deepest reveries--stand that man on his legs, set his feet a-going, and he will infallibly lead you to water, if water there be in all that region. Should you ever be athirst in the great American desert, try this experiment, if your caravan hap.. | Herman Melville | ||
| 1b66a1c | You're either on the bus or off the bus. | Tom Wolfe | ||
| dfb957b | The moon looks wonderful in this warm evening light, just as a candle flame looks beautiful in the light of morning. Light within light...It seems to me to be a metaphor for the human soul, the singular light within that great general light of existence. | Marilynne Robinson | ||
| 2fa29c8 | Talent is more erotic when it's wasted. | Don DeLillo | ||
| 49b38c3 | Cause I'm gonna put my foot so far up their butts they're going to burp shoe leather. (Nick) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 917e5dc | Depends on the dog. Big country dogs like these? Yeah. It's the fancy city ones that give me trouble. Overbred, Dad says. Makes them skittish and screws up their wiring. I had a Chihuahua attack me last year." He showed me a faint scar on his hand. "Took a good chunk out." I sputtered a laugh. "A Chihuahua?" "Hey, that thing was more vicious than a pit bull. I was at a park with Simon, kicking around a ball. All of a sudden, this little rat.. | Kelley Armstrong | ||
