| c81dd0d | La plupart des voyages dont on reve n'ont jamais lieu. Ou alors on les accomplit interieurement. L'avantage, quand on emprunte ces vols interieurs, c'est qu'on a de la place pour les jambes. | Henning Mankell | ||

| b3fd1fb | The desire for revenge can go on indefinitely, said Ekholm. There are no prescribed time limits. It's one of the oldest truths in criminology that an avenger can wait forever. If these are revenge killings, that is. | Henning Mankell | ||
| 9fd8305 | But I've come to terms with the fact that you never escape your parents. The roles are simply reversed. You become your parents' parents. - Lisa Holgersson | Henning Mankell | ||

| 7195914 | A criminal investigation is like a construction site. Everything has to be done in the proper order or the building won't hold up. | Henning Mankell | ||
| 107be43 | You have to preserve your dignity. And your place in line . Otherwise they walk all over you. - Wallanders' father | Henning Mankell | ||
| 21661da | Perhaps tranquility is what distinguishes the environment in which wealthy people live, he thought. - Kurt Wallander | Henning Mankell | ||
| 85a30e4 | In life, people walked together part of the way. Then their paths diverged, so slowly and unnoticed that it wasn't clear what had happened until it was too late. And by that time they were already out of sight of each other. | Henning Mankell | ||

| d0fc4d3 | remembered him coming home after long shifts and immediately sitting down at the kitchen table, forcing my mother to listen to his complaints about all his difficult colleagues and the maitre d's, not to mention the diners he had to put up with. I never heard him accept responsibility for any tricky situation that had arisen; it was always the other person who had been in the wrong. When I was a child, I thought my father was an amazing man.. | Henning Mankell | ||
| 27ceffe | I'm too old for talks. I gave that up when I turned sixty. I'd done enough talking in my life by then. Nowadays I neither speak nor listen to what anybody else has to say. | Henning Mankell | ||
| 7a2b266 | Wallander felt on the verge of misconduct. | Henning Mankell | ||
| d2b80d6 | call. I spent the next few hours playing poker with myself. It's the saddest expression of loneliness I know. I never feel more overwhelmed by weariness and unhappiness than when I'm trying to win money off myself. There is no deeper form of isolation. | Henning Mankell | ||

| 8275fbc | A cow couldn't find its calf in this room. | Addison Mizner | ||
| 6c163aa | Then he said, leaning forward: 'You're strange animals, you women intellectuals. Tell me: what's it like to be a woman?' I took my rifle from behind my chair and shot him dead. 'It's like that,' I said. | Joanna Russ | ||
| 7bb29c2 | The first effect of abroad is strangeness. It makes me strange to myself. I experience a transfer, a transparency. | Joanna Walsh | ||
| 0d4afbd | Chip asked me about New York and what I wanted to do, and how long my dad had owned the shop, and what it was I loved about Waco. He asked about my sisters and my family in general, and what I'd done at Baylor, and if I'd known a few communications majors he'd run around with at school. (I told y'all he was chatty!) Somehow none of these questions seemed intrusive or strange to me at the time, which is funny, because thinking back I find th.. | Joanna Gaines | ||
| 5299d72 | En periode da hun lever et liv som foles som frihet, iblant ligger med naboen i etasjen under men nekter a ha et forhold, hvisker "Jeg angrer ingenting" til speilet i hundre hotellrom fra London til Singapore, og om morgenen tar pa seg klaerne som gjor henne uovervinnelig, et liv der oyeblikkene av tomhet og skuffelse er minimale..." | Emily St. John Mandel | ||
| 051ed7f | Christie had sent Jared's father, Charles Kushner, to jail in 2005. Charlie Kushner, pursued by the feds for an income tax cheat, set up a scheme with a prostitute to blackmail his brother-in-law, who was planning to testify against him. Various accounts, mostly offered by Christie himself, make Jared the vengeful hatchet man in Christie's aborted Trump administration career. It was a kind of perfect sweet-revenge story: the son of the wron.. | Michael Wolff | ||
| 12e23c4 | He has no manners—he just has customs. | Addison Mizner | ||
| 60c2c1a | We didn't know what made "great TV." We were just trying to make a living and trying hard to honor the craft we had both fallen in love with over the years." -- | Joanna Gaines | ||
| f681077 | Put it on HGTV--I think Fixer Upper is on." "How many times can you watch Joanna Gaines say 'French doors here' and 'Put a beam on it' before it gets old?" Before I can answer Lucas with How dare you insult Jo, my phone rings." | R.S. Grey | ||
| d036635 | I have to choose to thrive, even in the pain. Even when it's tough. ... We can do this. God has not brought us this far to let us down now. | Joanna Gaines | ||
| bfd2bc3 | You could tell him whatever you wanted, but he knew what he knew, and if what you said contradicted what he knew, he simply didn't believe you. | Michael Wolff | ||
| 14b010c | Some things stayed secrets even when you told them. | Daniel Abraham | ||
| 608a564 | By the time Chip and I met, he'd managed to combine these two conflicting sides of himself: the kid who steered clear of trouble and did the right thing, and the kid who rode his Big Wheel full speed into the street without looking both ways. I had never met anyone like him. It's funny to me to think that the whole opposites-attract thing might have been programmed into my DNA. Just as my outgoing mother was drawn to my quiet dad, I was thi.. | Joanna Gaines | ||
| a750c29 | Between building the new house on our newly subdivided lot, continuing work on some small flip homes, and managing the rentals, Chip had more work than he could do himself, so he had put a crew of workmen together. "The Boys," as we called them, were a talented bunch of hardworking guys who were just as adaptable as Chip seemed to be when it came to making my crazy ideas become reality. I truly could say, "Hey, why don't we take that tree o.. | Joanna Gaines | ||
| 48f699a | You bloomed? I did. If I hadn't married Chip, I might not have ever bloomed. | Joanna Gaines | ||
| 4b8b756 | Typically, "letting my hair down" meant that I would sit in front of the television and binge-watch HGTV for hours at a time. Many a weekend since the divorce had been spent this way. My obsession with Chip and Joanna Gaines had reached epic proportions by now. To the point that I seriously contemplated moving to Waco, Tx before settling on New York." | Barbie Bohrman | ||
| f7f31c1 | That rotten houseboat turned out to be a blessing in disguise. | houseboat | Joanna Gaines | |

| f50f505 | I always thought that the "thriving" would come when everything was perfect, and what I learned is that it's actually down in the mess that things get good. It was such a blessing to find myself thriving in the middle of the pain.

If you can't find happiness in the ug.. | inspirational | Joanna Gaines | |
| 6db51bf | One thing I learned there on that beautiful front porch was if I wanted to be successful, if I wanted to do important work one day, I would have to increase my capacity.

| 94cd6da | lap?" Chip laughed. "That seems a little ironic to use on a , doesn't it?" "Ha-ha," I replied. I was still not in the mood for his jokes, but this is how Chip backs me off the ledge--with his humor." | Joanna Gaines | ||
