| e9b899b | She'd pressed her forehead to the window and saw clusters and pinpoints of light in the darkness, scattered constellations linked by roads or alone. The beauty of it, the loneliness, the thought of all those people living out their lives, each porch light marking another house, another family. | Emily St. John Mandel | ||
| 52aecd0 | he was just another dead man on another road, answerless, the bearer of another unfathomable story about walking out of one world and into another. | dead-man death unfathomable | Emily St. John Mandel | |
| 016e199 | Or maybe just an amphetamine freak? Clark's thoughts wandered to a particularly exciting week in Toronto, eighteen or nineteen years old, when he and Arthur had accepted some pills from a new friend at a dance club and stayed up for seventy-two hours straight. | Emily St. John Mandel | ||

| 67e9b2c | In other words, if public opinion is not unduly aroused one may safely set aside the Constitution and illegally arrest one's enemies. Had this letter been published at the time, an excellent case might have been made for the impeachment and removal of a president who had broken that oath he had taken to defend and to protect the Constitution by conspiring to obstruct and pervert the course of justice. | Gore Vidal | ||
| 648cd17 | I confess to not having listened to a word of the Declaration of Independence. At the time I barely knew the name of the author of this sublime document. I do remember hearing someone comment that since Mr. Jefferson had seen fit to pledge so eloquently our lives to the cause of independence, he might at least join us in the army. But wise Tom preferred the safety of Virginia and the excitement of local politics to the discomforts and dange.. | Gore Vidal | ||
| aba7b67 | Gore Vidal once said to me during an interview. "I think he's out of his mind. Why limit yourself any more than literature has limited you? In a world where people don't read, what are you going to make of a man who calls himself a gay novelist? What's that supposed to mean, that he's only going to write about cock?" | Tom Cardamone | ||
| 39a7bfd | Of course magic was involved at the beginning of my quest. But I have since crossed the shadow line, made magic real, created myself. But to what end? For what true purpose have I smashed the male principle only to become entrapped by the female? | Gore Vidal | ||
| 9762909 | breathed breakfast Madeira in my face. "Charlot, he has robbed me!" I looked at her blankly; not breathing until she removed her face from mine, and sank back onto the velvet cushions. "I have married a thief!" Madame clutched her reticule to her bosom as though I had designs on one or the other, and in a torrent of Frenchified English told me how she had owned stock in a toll-bridge near Hartford. During the first raptures of their honeymo.. | Gore Vidal | ||

| 6c98038 | As we left the bar, we saw two men fighting at the wooden pump. One was short and stocky: he was pummelling a tall gangling creature with loose flapping arms ... Edwin Forrest was giving a much deserved beating to William de la Touche Clancey, the Tory sodomite. | Gore Vidal | ||
| 8d30fcd | Safe at the opposite corner, Clancey was himself again -- coolly disdainful despite dirt-smeared face, torn shirt ... Clancey's voice is like that of a furious goose, all honks and hisses. | Gore Vidal | ||
| 8654f0b | The Bowery b'hoys were delighted ... to observe a pair of their favorites in league against their natural enemy, for Clancey detests our democracy, finds even the Whigs radical, the Adams family vulgar, Daniel Webster a . He fills the pages of his magazine with libellous comments on all things American. Despite a rich wife and five children, he is a compulsive sodomite, forever preying on country boys new to the city. | Gore Vidal | ||
| 9e59c68 | Dr. Bogart was about to tell me more when William de la Touche Clancey sat down next to me with an insolent crash (do I resemble a country youth because I am small?) | Gore Vidal | ||
| 28f34cd | As we rounded a small pavilion, we nearly stepped into a pair of figures -- who leapt apart. One was William de la Touche Clancey. The other was a well-made boy of perhaps sixteen, carefully got up to resemble a swell; only the red blunt hands betrayed the fact that he was a workie. "So!" Clancey gave his accusing goose-like hiss. The boy looked embarrassed, as well he should. There are some things that the poor ought not to do even for mon.. | Gore Vidal | ||

| 6d44957 | Dr. Henderson made the interesting observation that this was the very same day that North Korea had invaded the South, an event that still looked likely to provoke a third world war, for which Diane would also likely be held responsible. | Nicholas Evans | ||
| 3634454 | Have you ever known a guy like that? That responsive? That genuine?" "Yeah," Peyton said. "Hank on Royal Pains." When Devon shot her a questioning look, she said, "It's a TV show. In other words, fiction." | Robyn Carr | ||
| 8720248 | Two weeks earlier than scheduled, she flew into Vancouver and signed on with Greenpeace. The work was neither taxing nor truly exciting but the people she met more than compensated and she forged many new friendships. The high points were the trips they made by sea kayak, exploring the wild inlets farther up the coast. They watched bears scoop salmon from the shallows and paddled among pods of orcas, so close you could have reached out and .. | Nicholas Evans | ||

| 6bb474c | Ben felt paralyzed with shock. But she hadn't finished. In fact, she'd barely started. She went on to give him a scorching lecture about how he was a victim of this ridiculous, upside-down consumer culture in which everyone was constantly being bombarded with the pernicious promise of happiness, and even worse, being told at every turn that they had the goddamn right to be happy. And if they weren't, they could be, if they just got themselv.. | Nicholas Evans | ||
| d38ddbb | The gist of it was that there were two types of men who absconded from their marriages: the naughty and the needy. The naughty absconder was a simple dick-driven creature who just couldn't help himself. However much he might love his family, it always came second to his main object in life, namely, chasing women. The needy absconder was basically insecure and forever trying to prove to himself how much everybody loved him. His family was, i.. | Nicholas Evans | ||
| 42951bb | Of course she is. Hell hath no fury. You're not the only woman scorned. However much you and Ben tell her that it's not about her and that it's just about what went wrong between you and him, she probably can't see it that way. You should have her go talk to somebody.' 'A shrink?' 'Why not? Aren't you seeing someone?' 'I'm not the type.' 'What's the type? You get sick, you see a doctor, right? | Nicholas Evans | ||
| f777da1 | Another recent study, this one on academic research, provides real-world evidence of the way the tools we use to sift information online influence our mental habits and frame our thinking. James Evans, a sociologist at the University of Chicago, assembled an enormous database on 34 million scholarly articles published in academic journals from 1945 through 2005. He analyzed the citations included in the articles to see if patterns of citati.. | Nicholas Carr | ||

| 8907e60 | Sometimes what seems like surrender isn't surrender at all. It's about what's going on in our hearts. About seeing clearly the way life is and accepting it and being true to it, whatever the pain, because the pain of not being true to it is far, far greater.' Nicholas Evans, The Horse Whisperer. | Nikki Sex | ||

| eb7dcf7 | The red wine combined with the sweetness of her flesh was instantly sensual. She grew limp against him, lost in newfound passion. He was providing her with an education. Teaching her. He wanted her to grow to appreciate all aspects of love, of flesh, of sex. It started here, where butterflies mingled in her belly and heat began to course through her loins. She would want him. She would fill with desire and longing. Need would fill her core... | Nikki Landis | ||

"It will be hard to pass up an invitation like that," she said. She passed the note to Krista. Krista did not laugh at all. "Good, I hoped you'd say that," Charley said." | Robyn Carr | ||

| 6403183 | Vanni rocked Hannah back and forth, tears running down her cheeks. Hannah settled back against Vanni and looked up at her face. She put a pudgy little hand against Vanni's cheek and said, "Mama." "Yes, my little angel," Vanni said with a sniff. "I'm going to be your mama. Yes. Mama loves you." *" | Robyn Carr |
