| b7e447e | I have no trouble with my enemies, Miss Vivar. I can take care of my enemies in a fight. But my so-called allies, my damned allies, they're the ones who keep me walking the floors at night." - Warmaster Horus" | the-black-library the-horus-heresy | Graham McNeill | |
| ba1badc | I know that words cannot move mountains, but they can move the multitude - we've proven that time and time again. People are more ready to fight and die for a word than for anything else. Words shape thought, stir feeling, and force action. They kill and revive, corrupt and cure. If being an iterator has taught me anything, it's that men of words - priests, prophets and intellectuals - have played a more decisive role in history than any mi.. | the-black-library the-horus-heresy | Graham McNeill | |
| e45d9ac | You may think your tribute is paid in secret in the recesses of your heart, but it will out. We are a curious species when it comes to worship. The things that dominate our imagination determine our lives and our character. Therefore it behoves us to be careful what we worship, for what we are worshipping we are becoming." - Kyril Sindermann" | the-black-library the-horus-heresy | Graham McNeill | |
| 3213fd3 | History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future." - Warmaster Horus" | the-black-library the-horus-heresy | Graham McNeill | |
| 60aec41 | She is irrelevant." "Irrelevant? No one is irrelevant." "There's truth in that. But some are less relevant than others." | the-horus-heresy | Graham McNeill | |
| 6f64610 | The headsman's axe knows not where it is to fall. It is simply a weapon directed by the hand of another." - Ahzek Ahriman" | the-horus-heresy | Graham McNeill | |

| a0129db | My old kindergarten behaviors, so appalling when I was a kindergartner myself, are apparently quite acceptable in a teacher. | Karen Joy Fowler | ||
| 11deae6 | I opened the door to The Graduate and slid into the din. I'd been considering telling Harlow what I'd just learned about chimp sex. Much would depend on how drunk I got. | karen joy fowler | ||
| 1352f6c | Kallie entered through from the livery yard, to the right of the group. She carried the bantha prod from the Jabe incident, the latest in a series of items she was returning to the tack room in her ongoing effort to see Ben. She saw her dashing hero, all right--standing uneasily, with Veeka perched lasciviously on the counter with a leg on either side of him. | John Jackson Miller | ||
| ec01c40 | Apple Cider Vinegar and Circulation Many people also drink apple cider vinegar to improve circulation in their body. Apple cider vinegar is often touted as a natural cure for lower blood pressure and improved circulation, and you already know the benefits with regards to diabetes. Our circulation becomes poor as we get older, which can cause numerous problems. You can prevent this slow down with a daily supplement of apple cider vinega.. | Ben Night | ||
| 654461e | Every Wednesday Angela Belle came to town. And every Wednesday Dr. Montgomery "accidentally" ran into her. That Doc sat by the diner window for thirty minutes picking at a piece of pie until she rounded the corner did not go unnoticed. "Never seen a man so whupped," the Sheriff said, rolling a toothpick from one side of his mouth to the other. "Got him by the short hairs," Willie concurred. Naturally, every man in town thought Doc was gett.. | hooked southern | Paula Wall | |
| dfc38e9 | Pissed off by the lies, misrepresentations, and outright horseshit, I decided it was time to strike back. It was time to reclaim the Constitution. Besides, if the Righties were wrong about everything else--like health care, climate change, and the corporate tax rate--they had to be wrong about the Constitution. First, I did my homework. I read the Constitution and the amendments; perused The FederalistV and Madison's notes taken during the .. | Ed Asner | ||
| d9f6d3e | I did not spittel a drop of blood, or steal a cent in all my life. | Bartolomeo Vanzetti | ||

| f694a47 | One Mother's Day, he gave Mom a music box that played the theme from Swan Lake. She cried for days over it. | Karen Joy Fowler | ||
| fe410ef | The white culture rewarded cruelty with honor and friendship. | Karen Joy Fowler | ||
| c3f9095 | I don't say it was hard, because everybody got it hard, some way. | Greg Iles | ||
| 7adcca7 | There was a list, Kimberley imagined, and in an obscure subsection of that list, a section that had not been properly updated since George Bush was President, | Ben Aaronovitch | ||
| af97aa4 | Sited a third of the way up Dartmouth Park Hill, it had obviously been designed by a keen admirer of Albert Speer, particularly his later work on the monumental fortifications of the Atlantic Wall. | Ben Aaronovitch | ||
| 4d3a45e | Being a seasoned Londoner, Martin gave the body the 'London once-over' - a quick glance to determine whether this was a drunk, a crazy or a human being in distress. The fact that it was entirely possible for someone to be all three simultaneously is why good-Samaritanism in London is considered an extreme sport - like base-jumping or crocodile-wrestling. | Ben Aaronovitch | ||
| 0f049e2 | Even at ten o'clock in the morning it was going to be full of members of the public. Rich, influential members of the public, many of them foreign, a lot of them with some level of diplomatic immunity. 'What I'm saying here,' Seawoll had said, 'is try to limit the amount of damage you do to none fucking whatsoever.' I don't know where I got this reputation for property damage, I really don't | Ben Aaronovitch | ||
| 1f714e1 | By this point I was eager to emulate Guleed and merge unobtrusively with the imitation French farmhouse fittet cupboard and counter unit behind me. | humor | Ben Aaronovitch | |
| f2504a8 | Archway is where the post-war dream of the urban motorway died in the teeth of local opposition and the inability of the designers to answer basic traffic management questions. | Ben Aaronovitch | ||
| 3b9b193 | Boss," I said into my Airwave. "It's getting needlessly metaphysical out here." "Ignore" -- | Ben Aaronovitch | ||
| 1dedabe | but the first rule about a black woman's hair is you don't talk about a black woman's hair. And the second rule is you don't ever touch a black woman's hair without getting written permission first. And that includes after sex, marriage, or death for that matter. This courtesy is not reciprocated. | Ben Aaronovitch | ||

| a6150d9 | culminating in one of those formless red brick shopping centres which artfully combines a complete lack of aesthetic quality with a total disregard for the utilitarian function for which it is built. | Ben Aaronovitch | ||

| 55848cd | I know it's hard, Peter," she'd said. "But if you could contain your erudition and ready wit for just a little while we'd be most grateful." "Am I allowed to be cheeky?" I'd asked. "No you're fucking not," said Seawoll. "I'm" | Ben Aaronovitch | ||
| e25283c | Apparently after six days baking pigs and herding bricks, the inhabitants would kick back with a spot of cock-fighting, bullbaiting, and ratting. It was the sort of place an adventurous gentleman might venture only if he didn't mind being beaten, rolled, and catching an exciting venereal disease. | Ben Aaronovitch | ||
| f377eb9 | MUCH AS I love the Jag, it's too conspicuous for everyday police work. So that day I was driving a battered silver ex-Metropolitan Police Ford Asbo that, despite my best efforts, smelled vaguely of old stakeouts and wet dog. I | Ben Aaronovitch | ||
| b1d6e11 | We should tell forensics that the murder weapon may be archaeological," I said. "Archaeological?" asked Seawoll. "Could be," I said. "Is that your professional opinion?" "Yes." | murder-weapon | Ben Aaronovitch | |
| c690c60 | One Hyde Park squatted next to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel like a stack of office furniture, and with all the elegance and charm of the inside of a photocopier. Albeit a brand new photocopier that doubled as a fax and document scanner. | modern-architecture | Ben Aaronovitch | |
| f096e23 | Richmond won on points, but only because one of them had a flask full of coffee. | Ben Aaronovitch | ||
| af636ea | This is a speech we've all heard before. From the con artists who aren't like the burglars, who aren't like the armed robbers, who only ever broke a bone if the victim had it coming and the murderers who made 'one mistake' and are forced to pay for it for the rest of their lives. They want to know what you're doing about the real criminals, the rapists and the paedophiles. Who want to know why you're wasting resources on them when we should.. | moral-relativism | Ben Aaronovitch | |
| 2e859a0 | So, actions were still being actioned and me and Guleed were actioning them, and the wheels of justice ground on. Albeit in first gear. So | Ben Aaronovitch | ||
