| 21c06b6 | There are facts can poison you dead as arsenic. I have long known this to be true. There are facts can get you drunker than sipping whiskey straight. | Alice Randall | ||
| 317e2b0 | I wanted to slap Miss Priss. Slap her hard. But I didn't do it. It always been this way with me. I'll call another girl "bitch" before you blink, but I don't like to hit a woman. I guess it always felt like too much of a man to do it. Strange enough. Strength always seemed to rob the girl out of me, so I always take care to keep it hid." | Alice Randall | ||
| 6b46021 | I'm greedy for a second serving of those words. I want a dessert of those words, a soup, a salad. I wanted to salt those words and snap them in like peanuts. | Alice Randall | ||

| b23f943 | Still, at its heart the Rwandan story is the story of the failure of humanity to heed a call for help from an endangered people. The international community, of which the UN is only a symbol, failed to move beyond self-interest for the sake of Rwanda. While most nations agreed that something should be done they all had an excuses why they should not be the ones to do it. As a result, the UN was denied the political will and material mean to.. | Roméo Dallaire | ||
| 5da743a | Still, I did not regret for a moment leaving the bright lights of Manhattan behind in favour of night skies so dark the stars seemed close enough to be street lights. In the recycled cabin air of the long flight back, I physically longed for Rwanda, its rich red earth, the smell of its wood fires and its vibrant humanity. | Roméo Dallaire | ||
| 1478ed3 | The people of Rwanda were not an insignificant black mass living in abject poverty in a place of no consequence. They were individuals like myself, like my family, with every right and expectation of any human who is a member of our tortured race. I was determined to persevere. | Roméo Dallaire | ||
| 1879185 | However, Romeo Dallaire, the Canadian general in charge of the UN peacekeepers, refused to obey his orders to leave and remained with a couple hundred soldiers. He was a brave and moral man, but he was also alone in a sea of killers. We heard him often on the radio begging for someone, anyone, to send troops to Rwanda to stop the slaughter, but no one listened to him. Belgium, our country's former colonial ruler, had been the first to pull .. | Immaculée Ilibagiza | ||
| 6492859 | it was Buddhism that inspired the philosophy of Arthur Schopenhauer, and, through him, attracted Richard Wagner. This Orientalism reflected the struggle of the German Romantics, in the words of Leon Poliakov, to free themselves from Judeo-Christian fetters. | free-thought | Joscelyn Godwin | |
| 48d73e0 | The second part of the motto of the left-hand path, "Love is the law', love under will," became for the Nazis: "Hatred is the law, hatred under will"--a powerful formula indeed. The inescapable historical parallel to all of this is to be seen in the innumerable cruelties committed by Christians against Jews, pagans, witches, heretics, and each other: a disgrace to the Solar tradition, as the Nazis are to the Polar. Yet many of the worst off.. | eastern-religion nazism | Joscelyn Godwin | |
| 8b109dd | As a consequence, he faced the unavoidable fact that the Ottoman Sultan was conquering the Byzantine Empire by allowing that Islam and Christianity were not incompatible, and that Christian subjects could live under the secular rule of a Muslim. | Joscelyn Godwin | ||
| acd2a2c | It is almost incredible that towards the end of the twentieth century, biblical fundamentalism made such a comeback in America. No less astounding is its alliance with the small body of Jewish fundamentalists in Israel to further their respective apocalyptic dreams. | Joscelyn Godwin | ||
| ea01579 | She was suddenly aware of how empty her feet felt inside her shoes. | Markus Zusak | ||
| e016e9c | My birth certificate says "Gratuity Tucci," but Mom's called me Turtlebear ever since she learned that "gratuity" didn't mean what she thought it did. My friends call me Tip. I" | Adam Rex | ||
| aae448d | Q: Why did the boy bring a ladder to chorus? A: He wanted to sing higher! | Johnny B. Laughing | ||
| ba6ee07 | Mark Twain said the difference between the right word and the almost right word is like the difference between lightning and the lightning bug, and people think he was good, right? Didn't write any decent girl characters, as far as I can tell, but otherwise fine. The | Adam Rex | ||

| ce9852a | I jerked my head at the billboard and asked J.Lo, "What is that thing even trying to sell me, anyway?" "Eh," said J.Lo as he tried to think of how to explain it. "Is a kind of strap for people whose eyes are too big. Aslike a bra for your face." | Adam Rex | ||
| 564a705 | Everybodies always is wanting to make a clone for to doing their work. If you are not wanting to do your work, why would a clone of you want to do your work? | Adam Rex | ||
| 1ac8515 | But this is what I also thought as I watched the waves of trash crash over the cracked and broken road: that for the rest of us, Arizona would always be one of our places now. It would be on the list of things we own in our heads. Don't we all have this list? It's like, everything that secretly belongs to us--a favorite color, or springtime, or a house we don't live in anymore. We all gained Arizona by coming here, but for the people who al.. | Adam Rex | ||
| 554f431 | The sky looked really great when nearly the entire country was blacked out. Of course, now it looked dangerous, too. I wondered if it would ever be just the night sky again, and not a black sea, full of sharks. Anyway, | Adam Rex | ||
| e791fcc | Well, naturally, some of the animals must have escaped from the Wild World Animal Park, and part of it tried to remember if anyone in school ever told us what to do when faced with a lion; but no, of course they didn't, they were too busy teaching really useful things like the state capitals. | Adam Rex | ||
| 83c67c0 | I grabbed a bottle of glass cleaner because it comforted me to hold something in my hand that had a trigger, such as it was. I | Adam Rex | ||
| d918669 | Once I was in a bicycle accident, and I lay in the street for a long time afterward. People surrounded me and wouldn't let me stand up until the paramedics arrived. When they did, they asked if I knew who the president was, and what state I lived in, and how much was three times seven. When I answered everything correctly they seemed pleased, so they asked my name and I said "Gratuity," and then they wouldn't let me up until I told them it .. | Adam Rex | ||
| 146fd87 | So I sang the first Italian song that came into my head, which turned out to be "Volare." I'm sure I need not mention at this point that I am a rock star, and it sounded fantastic. J.Lo" | Adam Rex | ||
| 53c6788 | Who wants a leader who wants to be leader?" And I could see his point there. I've always sort of thought we ought to keep a close eye on anyone who wants power over others." | Adam Rex | ||
| 9f9b6a2 | Sejal had not often thought of her home, or of India as a whole, as cool. She was dimly aware, however, of a white Westerner habit of wearing other cultures like T-shirts--the sticker bindis on club kids, sindoor in the hair of an unmarried pop star, Hindi characters inked carelessly on tight tank tops and pale flesh. She knew Americans liked to flash a little Indian or Japanese or African. They were always looking for a little pepper to pu.. | Adam Rex | ||
| 438f7f2 | Aw, hewwo, widdle Chihuahua," she said. "Hewwo." | Adam Rex | ||
| ba22442 | J.Lo looked miserable. You wouldn't think you could tell that when a person's wearing a ghost suit, but you can. | Adam Rex | ||
| 46e89c1 | Ohh!" said J.Lo. "Oooooh! My tummy!" I set him down. "Are you okay? I thought they missed us." "It...must not work on humans. Feel like i could marf....Like I could marf right out my poomp," J.Lo insisted." | Adam Rex | ||
| 9ae34be | I'm part fairy,' said John. There was a quiet pause, and he eyed the man. 'Is that a problem?' 'No, sir. The United States military is very accepting of that sort of thing nowadays. | Adam Rex | ||
| 06d960a | You know what's weird, though? It's weird that the ark would be such a kids' story, you know? I mean, it's...really a story about death. Every person who isn't in Noah's family? They die. Every animal, apart from the two of each on the boat? They die. They all die in the flood. Billions of creatures. It's the worst tragedy ever," I finished, my voice tied off by a knot in my chest. I'd been speaking too fast without breathing, and I sucked .. | Adam Rex | ||
| c95cef8 | You know that part in the story where the character thinks, I bet I didn't really see a ghost after all. I bet it was just a sheet. Wearing chains. Floating through our pantry. Shrieking. I bet it was just my imagination. You know how you always kind of hate characters who think that? You hate them, and you know you'd never be so stupid not to know a ghost when you saw one, especially when the title of your story is The Shrieking Specter, f.. | Adam Rex | ||
| c4f1bc9 | Alfred Hitchcock answered a question on a real murder case in such detail that Fadiman asked if he knew how the tide was running at the time. Especially appreciated were questions that stumped the experts on the trivia of their own lives. Adams could not name a passage from one of his poems. Novelist Rex Stout failed to identify a recipe for Lobster Newburg, forgetting that his detective Nero Wolfe had used it in the book Too Many Cooks. El.. | John Dunning | ||
