| d3f6338 | Actually I had just intended to retaliate, because when we met the first time you chided me for not speaking very good Norse. Well, that jest fell flat, since your French is excellent. | Jan Guillou | ||
| 8f62a33 | Because what he couldn't know, what no one at that time could know, was what would happen after the death of old King Sverker. | Jan Guillou | ||
| e96849a | Then the parents might be released from their promise. But in that case, the monks at the same time would be placing themselves, knowingly and willingly, above the clearly manifested will of God. | Jan Guillou | ||

| 03881c2 | Let's discuss. On the one hand, Ashley thought it was okay to feed children Hawaiian Punch and Fritos for a snack, because apparently she couldn't get her hands on any Mexican black tar heroin.

| 9951b64 | I HAVE to stay here. I simply have to. To be honest, too much of my identity comes from possessing this space. As my job used to define me, living here's all I have left. This apartment makes it OK that I can't buy Prada's newest anymore. I can be content going on lousy interviews and begging for positions that pay half of what I used to earn as long as I know at the end of the day my glorious penthouse awaits. The minute I climb into my Ja.. | Jen Lancaster | ||

| 7944ac5 | Ultimately, my goal in life is to arrive at the finish line without having regrets. I don't want to reflect on my time on this earth and beat myself up for not having made an effort, for not pushing myself, for allowing small obstacles or personal pride to stand in my way. I don't want to be there on my deathbed wondering what was so damn hard about riding a bike in the first place. | Jen Lancaster | ||

| 6e946b2 | I love zucchini. I love everything about zucchini. I love saying the word "zucchini." Zucchini, zucchini, zucchini! Even the individual syllables are charming! You can't not be happy around such a big, green, comical-sounding foodstuff. Zucchini's hilarious and delicious!" | Jen Lancaster | ||
| c2ddd1f | I'm through stopping midconversation to post a funny quote because I feel like it's my job. I'm done creating "link-bait." I'm going to be in the moment rather than upload the moment, because the purpose of my life is not public consumption." | Jen Lancaster | ||
| f821b5b | I don't want to measure my success in clicks. I don't want my value as a person determined by retweets. When I die, I guarantee I won't care how many Tumblr followers I've had.

| 1be3979 | The book's an attractive nuisance," Lacey replied, absolutely discounting reason. "These kids are being systematically conditioned to crave pulverized nut spreads. Like brainwashing. Extra-crunchy brainwashing. The school is colluding with Big Peanut Butter, I just know it. I sense Jif's sticky fingerprints all over this story." Fortunately," | Jen Lancaster | ||

| 12a13e8 | Looking back, my abstinence was less a function of convictions and more because I was too much of a dork to be invited to parties. One doesn't stumble into many dens of iniquity on the way to a speech meet. Let's be real here. I'd have snorted rails off a hooker's ass if a preppy guy named Kip or Trip or Chip handed me the straw. | Jen Lancaster | ||
| 814e639 | She's going to show up at the Mexican border once she finishes the marathon to her car," Fletch says. I nod. "Sounds like it, yes." "And she's confident the border guards will simply stand there with open arms, all, 'Oh, apocalypse in the USA? So sorry. Come on in, friendly Northern Neighbor! You're totally welcome to all our resources! Here, have a chimichanga, senorita! You must be tired after your long trek." | Jen Lancaster | ||
