| 0f2bb1d | One of those moments he knew he'd remember and look back on, one of those moments that he'd try to capture in the stories he told. Nothing was happening, really, but the moment was thick with mattering. | John Green | ||
| fe0e632 | If there's one thing I know, it's that there's some people in this world who you can just love and love and love no matter what. | John Green | ||
| 7f6eb15 | You said a bad driver was only safe until she met another bad driver? Well, I met another bad driver, didn't I? I mean it was careless of me to makes such a wrong guess. I thought you were rather an honest, straightforward person I thought it was your secret pride." "I'm thirty," I said. "I'm five years too old to lie to myself and call it honor." She didn't answer.

| 31f84cd | But whatever you do, find the God-centered, Christ-exalting, Bible-saturated passion of your life, and find your way to say it and live for it and die for it. And you will make a difference that lasts. You will not waste your life. | making-a-difference passion | John Piper | |

| cdc41c5 | He wasn't mine anywhere except in my heart. | Lisa Kleypas | ||
| d6ce314 | He looked at her and tilted his head very slightly in wonder. He had forgotten, as he always forgot, how beautiful she was. Her hair was held away from her face by the ruby and gold headband that crossed her dark brows. Her skin was flawless and so fair as to be translucent. She dressed as always in an imitation of Hephestia, but it was far easier to imagine the impersonal cruelty of the Great Goddess than to see cruelty in the face in the .. | Megan Whalen Turner | ||

| ecd4ff7 | You want to know about voting. I'm here to tell you about voting. Imagine you're locked in a huge underground night-club filled with sinners, whores, freaks and unnameable things that rape pitbulls for fun. And you ain't allowed out until you all vote on what you're going to do tonight. You like to put your feet up and watch "Republican Party Reservation". They like to have sex with normal people using knives, guns, and brand new sexual org.. | voting | Warren Ellis | |
| 74c9fc1 | Speech destroys the function of love, I think-that's a hell of a thing for a writer to say, I guess, but I believe it to be true. If you speak to tell a deer you mean it no harm, it glides away with a single flip of its tail. Love has teeth; they bite; the wounds never close. No word, no combination of words can close those love bites. it's the other way around, that's the joke. If those wounds dry up, the words die with them. | Stephen King | ||

| 6184d7f | I write because I am alone and move through the world alone. No one will know what has passed through me... I write because there are stories that people have forgotten to tell, because I am a woman trying to stand up in my life... I write out of hurt and how to make hurt okay; how to make myself strong and come home, and it may be the only real home I'll ever have. | inspirational writing | Natalie Goldberg | |
| 334a704 | In high seas or in low seas, I'm gonna be your friend... I'm gonna be your friend. In high tide or in low tide, | friend life ocean song | Bob Marley | |
| 26f03f7 | Fear-based repentance makes us hate ourselves. Joy-based repentance makes us hate the sin. | Timothy Keller | ||
| 4b160fa | When over the years someone has seen you at your worst, and knows you with all your strengths and flaws, yet commits him- or herself to you wholly, it is a consummate experience. To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us .. | marriage | Timothy Keller | |

Was it any wonder he adored her? he thought. Watching her face, he trailed a finger over her breast. "We'll have quiet, dign.. | J.D. Robb | ||
| f35f8bd | You have heard the expression 'love is blind'" "I think it's bullshit. Lust dazzles, sure, at least for the short term. But love clears the vision. You see better, sharper, because you feel more that you did before" | in-death roarke | J.D. Robb | |
| a210a19 | Everyone always wants to know how you can tell when it's true love, and the answer is this: when the pain doesn't fade and the scars don't heal, and it's too damned late. The tears threaten to return, so I willfully banish all thoughts from my head and take a few more deep breaths. I'm suddenly dizzy from the panic attack I've just suffered, and I close my eyes, resting my head against the warm leather of my steering wheel. Loneliness doesn.. | Jonathan Tropper | ||
| 9c6f19e | Like I said, magic comes from life, and especially from emotions. They're a source of the same intangible energy that everyone can feel when an autumn moon rises and fills you with a sudden sense of bone-deep excitement, or when the first warm breeze of spring rushes past your face, full of the scents of life, and drowns you in a sudden flood of unreasoning joy. The passion of mighty music that brings tears to your eyes, and the raw, bubbli.. | magic | Jim Butcher | |
| 9f97d2f | The course of history is determined not by battles, by sieges, or usurpation, but by the individuals. The strongest army is, at its most basic level, a collection of individuals. Their decisions, their passions, their foolishness, and their dreams shape the years to come. If there is any lesson to be learned from history, it is that all too often the fate of armies, of cities, of entire realms rests upon the actions of one person's decision.. | destiny furies-of-calderon individiual | Jim Butcher | |
| 3fa4fc5 | I'm trying to be diplomatic. The wisdom of my ass is well-known. If I didn't lip off to them, after shooting my mouth off to faerie queens and Vampire Courts--plural, Courts--demigods and demon lords, they might get their feelings hurt. | humor sigrun-gard | Jim Butcher | |
| b2e80a3 | There's always, always a choice. My options might really, truly suck, but that doesn't mean there isn't a choice. | cold-days harry-dresden | Jim Butcher | |
| 138bf3a | I am tired of caring," I say. "Why should I?" "Because they could kill you!" "They better," I say to her. "Because anything less than that isn't going to work." | Holly Black | ||
