| 84df1e1 | I am in love with you', I responded. He laughed the most beguiling and gentle laugh. 'Of course you are,' he replied. 'I understand perfectly because I'm in love with myself. The fact that I'm not transfixed in front of the nearest mirror takes a great deal of self-control.' It was my turn to laugh. | narcissism passion | Anne Rice | |
| 5faa79f | The finest thing under the sun and moon is the human soul. I marvel at the small miracles of kindness that pass between humans, I marvel at the growth of conscience, at the persistence of reason in the face of all superstition or despair. I marvel at human endurance. | Anne Rice | ||

| 019e8d9 | Nah. I got it. Just try not to stake Jean-Luc again if you meet up with him. (Acheron) I can't help it. All you fanged people look alike in the dark. (Tabitha) Yeah. I know what you mean. All you soul-full people look alike to us, too. (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 211fd9e | Do me a favor." "Don't lick your seat belt?" Ash's expression was total confusion. "Huh? where did that randomness come from?" | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 05ed298 | You want to keep looking?" I asked. "Yeah, maybe." "I'll leave you to it, then." I started for the door.

| bf629f4 | I looked up at him. His green eyes glittered in the dark, reflecting the moonlight like a cat's. His scowl had vanished. The defiance was gone, too, replaced by a tightness around his mouth, a worry that clouded his eyes; and seeing that quicksilver change, I wanted to... I don't know what I wanted to do. Kick him in the shins seemed like a good option. Unfortunately, bursting into tears seemed more likely, because here lay the root of the .. | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 378d60e | What's the woman doing there?" he asked. "Covering a scratch on the hood. She was cheaper than a new paint job." He flipped through a few more pages of barely dressed women and classic cars. "Nick used to have magazines like this when we were kids. But without the cars." He rotated a photo sideways. "Or the bathing suits." | elena magaizine paint-job rod-world | kelley armstrong | |
| b0d0c9f | I wanted to walk over there. I wanted to curl up beside him, lean against him, talk to him. I wanted to know what he was thinking. I wanted to tell him everything would be okay. And I wanted him to tell me the same thing. I didn't care if it was true or not- I just wanted to say it. To hear it, to feel his arms around me, hear the rumble of his words, that deep chuckle that made me pulse race | Kelley Armstrong | ||

| e36de33 | And yet, I found I could survive. I was alert, I felt the pain - the aching loss that radiated out from my chest, sending wracking waves of hurt through my limbs and head - but it was manageable. I could live through it. I didn't feel like the pain had weakened over time, rather that I'd grown strong enough to bear it. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| e654e4d | He had learned some of the things that every man must find out for himself, and he had found out about them as one has to find out--through error and through trial, through fantasy and illusion, through falsehood and his own damn foolishness, through being mistaken and wrong and an idiot and egotistical and aspiring and hopeful and believing and confused. Each thing he learned was so simple and obvious, once he grasped it, that he wondered .. | experience maturity | Thomas Wolfe | |

| 363cc02 | they're good fighters, i think proudly as i watch them duke it out. But as the oldest male in the house, it's my duty to break it up. I grab the collar of Carlos's shirt but on Louis's leg and land on the floor with them. Before I can regain my balance, icy cold water is pored on my back. Turning quickly, I catch mi'ama dousing us all, a bucket poised in her fist abouve us while she is wearing her work uniform. She works as a checker for t.. | Simone Elkeles | ||

| 6da9854 | Who ARE You?" This was not an encouraging opening for a conversation. Alice replied, rather shyly, "I--I hardly know, sir, just at present-- at least I know who I WAS when I got up this morning, but I think I must have been changed several times since then." | Lewis Carroll | ||

Fang: "It means the third rail has seven hundred volts of direct current running through it. Touch it and you're human popcorn." "Okay," I said. "Good tip. Everyone stay off the third rail.

| 7586f0f | Well, I'm an abridger, so I'm entitled to a few ideas of my own. Did they make it? Was the pirate ship there? You can answer it for yourself, but, for me, I say yes it was. And yes, they got away. And got their strength back and had lots of adventures and more than their share of laughs. But that doesn't mean I think they had a happy ending, either. Because, in my opinion, anyway, they squabbled a lot, and Buttercup lost her looks eventual.. | love | William Goldman | |

Oh,' said Winnie hopelessly. 'Seventeen. That's old.' You have no idea,' he agreed with a nod. | Natalie Babbitt | ||
| 60d5029 | We look high and low for God, but somehow He's not there. So we blame Him and tell ourselves that He must have forgotten us.
