| 6f01023 | Jason once told me that eye contact is the most intimacy two people can have -- forget sex -- because the optic nerve is technically an extension of the brain, and when two people look into each other's eyes, it's brain-to-brain. | Douglas Coupland | ||
| f193a85 | I'm not so fond of people myself, Evvy, but I took my vows for a reason. There are two classes of people in the world, the destroyers and the builders. I want to build, not destroy. You need to ask yourself who you're going to be. | evvy people rosethorn | Tamora Pierce | |
| c5d8eac | Be afraid of nothing. Hating none, giving love to all, feeling the love of God, seeing His presence in everyone, and having but one desire - for His constant presence in the temple of your consciousness - that is the way to live in this world. | Paramahansa Yogananda | ||

| 35fe927 | In the way that scepticism is sometimes applied to issues of public concern, there is a tendency to belittle, to condescend, to ignore the fact that, deluded or not, supporters of superstition and pseudoscience are human beings with real feelings, who, like the sceptics, are trying to figure out how the world works and what our role in it might be. Their motives are in many cases consonant with science. If their culture has not given them a.. | Carl Sagan | ||

| 71ee72e | With their hands clasped like children in a fairy tale, she fell asleep beside him in the dark. | Cassandra Clare | ||
| 770c693 | Another vampire pushed her way through the crowd to stand at his side--a pretty blue-haired Asian girl in a silver foil skirt. Clary wondered if there were any ugly vampires, or maybe any fat ones. Maybe they didn't make vampires out of ugly people. Or maybe ugly people just didn't want to live forever. | vampires | Cassandra Clare | |
| e6334af | Julian's skin was cold, as if he'd been leaning out the window into the night air. She turned his hand and drew with her finger on his bare forearm. It was something they'd done since they were small children and didn't want to get caught talking during lessons. Over the years they'd gotten so good at it that they could map out detailed messages on each other's hands, arms, even their shoulders through their T-shirts. D-I-D Y-O-U E-A-T? she.. | Cassandra Clare | ||

He looked at her and his face softened: the traces of the wild, broken boy he had been vanished, replaced with the expression often worn by the man he was now, who knew what it was to love and be loved. "Dear heart," he said. He took her hand and kissed it. "Who knows your courage better than I?" | dear-heart love tessa-gray wessa will-herondale | Cassandra Clare | |
| 5da8eb6 | It's not your fault," Alec was saying. He sounded weary, as if he'd been through this sort of thing with his sister before. Clary wondered how many boyfriends she'd turned into rats by accident. "But it ought to teach you not to go to so many Downworld parties," he added. "They're always more trouble than they're worth." Isabelle sniffed loudly. "If anything had happened to him, I--I don't know what I would have done." "Probably whatever it.. | isabelle-lightwood magnus-bane malec | Cassandra Clare | |
| 2cc9b6d | I thought it'd be something cooler, like a van with 'Death to Demons' painted on the outside. | Cassandra Clare | ||
| 6dfee11 | I forgot," Isabelle muttered as the rest of them caught up to her. "Faeries have no sense of humor." "Oh, I wouldn't say that," said Jace. "There's a pixie nightclub downtown called Hot Wings. Not," he added, "that I have ever been there." | Cassandra Clare | ||

| 5e63275 | Now he looked at her sideways. "You don't think I look like a Shadowhunter any more?" "Do you want to?" Cristina asked. "I want to look like my family," Mark said. "I cannot have the Blackthorn coloring, but I can look as much like Nephilim as possible. Besides, if I wish to be part of the investigation, I cannot stand out." Cristina held back from telling Mark that there was no world in which he didn't stand out. "I can make you look like .. | Cassandra Clare | ||

| a2dd4eb | And fantasy it was, for we were not strong, only aggressive; we were not free, merely licensed; we were not compassionate, we were polite; not good, but well behaved.

| a946622 | Although she was ashamed to admit it now, the darkness in him had been the largest part of his allure. It was such an anomaly, a contrast to what she'd known from life. It had made him dangerous. Exciting. Sexy. But that was a fantasy. This was real. He suffered. And there was nothing sexy or thrilling about that. (Zsadists & Bella) | J.R. Ward | ||
