| 288d473 | Death waits for no vampire. --Ethan Sullivan I like bacon. --Merit | Chloe Neill | ||
| b9934b8 | Do the things you need to do. Learn to be a vampire, to be a warrior, to be the soldier you are capable of being. But consider the possibility that I made a mistake I regret--and that I'll continue to regret that mistake and try to convince you to give me another chance until the earth stops turning. | Chloe Neill | ||
| 77bc455 | Woe is Merit, the immortal vampire with the never-gray hair and long legs and hot blond boyfriend. | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| 7c105df | Things happen," he said. "They happen, and we pick ourselves up, and we get back out there." | Chloe Neill | ||
| 6f61cbe | The juice was delicious, with the fresh bite and lingering umami of freshly squeezed oranges. | Chloe Neill | ||
| da3fb52 | She grinned. "Sexy anime." Luc flicked away a fake tear. "Our baby girl is growing up... and she's growing up weird." | Chloe Neill | ||
| e429b05 | He hung up the phone, and I did so gratefully, rubbing my ear a bit for good measure. I was pretty sure I'd just heard Rick Astley at eardrum-popping decibels, which wasn't anything I needed to ever experience again. Ever. | Chloe Neill | ||
| 17fada1 | Ethan nodded and fell in line behind Nadia, who trotted back up the stairs, her hair bouncing on her shoulders as she moved. Really-- it was like watching a shampoo commercial. | merit | Chloe Neill | |
| b97ffa1 | You undo me, Merit. Wholly and completely. You don't take me at my word. You challenge me at every opportunity. And that means when I'm with you, I am less than the head of this House . . . and I am more than the head of this House. I am a man." He stroked my cheeks with his thumbs. "In my very, very long life, I need" | Chloe Neill | ||
| 40ff37d | Don't be silly. Vampire humiliation is like fine wine. It should be shared between friends. | Chloe Neill | ||
| f110933 | The forest floor erupted into a carpet of gnomes. They emerged from open splits in nearby trees and what looked like burrows in the ground, and spilled out around us, probably a hundred in all, all in the same primary-colored uniforms and white caps, long beards extending nearly to their belts. The ground looked like the overstock aisle at a garden accessory store. | Chloe Neill | ||
| 70ee9f7 | You the vampire, Merit, now and forever. But sometimes the mind needs a chance to catch up with the genetics. | Chloe Neill | ||
| 2152576 | And in the meantime, he's making me drink grass clippings." Catcher rolled his eyes. "It's kale, and it's good for you." "I don't see how it could be," she said, and I grimaced on her behalf. It did look like grass clippings." | Chloe Neill | ||
| 23e8fac | Yeah, I told him it was his one chance. That if he left, the risk was on him." I shrugged. "He opted for the risk." -- | Chloe Neill | ||
| f1a6530 | You know that I've known Sullivan a long time, right?...This may not come as much consolation after the deed is done, so to speak, but he'll regret it, and probably sooner than later. ~ Catcher | Chloe Neill | ||
| 5d0694a | You know, that was very sweet, what you did. Being snarky to Little Miss Sunshine." "Don't get too excited. It's not that I'm on your side." Cather said, then nodded toward Mallory. "But I'd be sleeping on the couch for a week if I didn't take side." | Chloe Neill | ||
| 51bd6fb | Does he try to have intercourse with you?" "Grandma!" I gasp. "Not that it's any of your business, but no!" "Good. Remember, no ring, no ring-a-ding-ding. Because once you spread your legs for him, do you know where he'll race once he's done? He'll race to another woman, that's where." | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| b9a2a88 | I can barely feel my arms now, and my shoulders are sore, but I take deep breaths and keep going. Every few seconds I alternate hands and lick them. "Hand job" is such a misnomer for this full-body routine. It's like I'm a one-man band." | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| 0f9b1d3 | just because someone is a great guy doesn't guarantee we'll make a great couple, no matter how much I work at it and want it. | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| f0ac926 | Now I'll be spending the next who-knows-how-many days waiting for Guy to call/ text/ IM/ Facebook/ e-mail me. Then, if he ever does, I'll devote who-knows-how-many hours to reading into every word and deliberating about how to respond so I come off as available but not clingy. We may call/ text/ IM/ Facebook/ e-mail back and forth for who-knows-how-much longer until we start hanging out, if we ever do. Meanwhile I'll keep scrutinizing his b.. | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| f46cc05 | I wonder how many more penises I'll have inside me in my lifetime. | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| fb1f1c9 | Cuteness and kindness are often inversely proportional in people. | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| a513fa6 | All I mean is that, hypothetically, why would we need to see anyone else? And as long as we're going out and happy, wouldn't marriage be the goal, even if it's a decade away? 'Cause if it's not, all this is pointless. | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| f57d104 | That's the thing about exes - for eternity you feel like rivals in a kind of happiness contest, and losing would be the epitome of tragedy. | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| 372f4f5 | That I don't feel upset by us really being over almost trivializes how special and intense our relationship once was. | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| 5711ba6 | The more I hurt, the more I knew I loved, and that felt like a good thing. So that I'm letting go of the pain means I'm also letting go of the love. | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| 9753e9c | Love is the irresistible desire to be irresistibly desired.' | Daria Snadowsky | ||
| de468a5 | How is it that mankind can engineer condoms to prevent pregnancy and STDs and not be able to invent some sort of emotional safeguard? Is it even possible to abstain from falling in love? | heartbreak love | Daria Snadowsky | |
| 40413fc | I]t is the powerful who write the laws of the world-- and the powerful who ignore these laws when expediency dictates. | nato-bombing war-crimes yugoslavia imperialism | Michael Parenti | |
| 810bca4 | Whole new level of bullshit, more like," CeeJay said. "What a waste of a penis that guy is." | Mary Kay Andrews | ||
| db9b285 | The military historian John Keegan notes that by the middle of the 2nd millennium BCE, the chariot allowed nomadic armies to rain death on the civilizations they invaded. "Circling at a distance of 100 or 200 yards from the herds of unarmored foot soldiers, a chariot crew--one to drive, one to shoot--might have transfixed six men a minute. Ten minutes' work by ten chariots would cause 500 casualties or more, a Battle of the Somme-like toll .. | Steven Pinker | ||
| 5d820a8 | The trenches', wrote Robert Kee fifty years later, 'were the concentration camps of the First World War'; and though the analogy is what an academic reviewer would call unhistorical, there is something Treblinka-like about almost all accounts of July 1st, about those long docile lines of young men, shoddily uniformed, heavily burdened, numbered about their necks, plodding forward across a featureless landscape to their own extermination ins.. | war wwi | John Keegan | |
| 85da127 | The young have already made their decision. They are increasingly unwilling to serve as conscripts in armies they see as ornamental. The militant young have taken that decision a stage further: they will fight for the causes which they profess not through the mechanisms of the state and its armed power but, where necessary, against them, by clandestine and guerrilla methods. It remains for armies to admit that the battles of the future will.. | John Keegan | ||
| 285844c | The historian John Keegan explains that America and Britain could champion freedom only because the sea protected them "from the landbound enemies of liberty." | Robert D. Kaplan | ||
| 09f5a6f | Constantine, moreover, was not yet a Christian when he uttered the appeal to conquer in the sign of the cross; and while the warrior kings of Israel may have drawn strength from the old Covenant in their small and local wars, the Christians of the new Covenant were to agonise for centuries over the issue of whether warmaking was morally permissible or not. Christians, indeed, have never found unanimity in the belief that the man of war may .. | John Keegan | ||
| 9055e98 | Keegan: You feel at home in the world then? Broadbent: Of course. Don't you? | Bernard Shaw George | ||
| f59ce21 | By the forty-second day from mobilisation, the war in the west would have been won and the victorious German army freed to take the railway back across Germany to the east and there inflict another crushing defeat on the Russians.17 | John Keegan | ||
| 98c5d04 | The evolutionary economist Richard Nelson of Columbia University has pointed out that there are in fact two types of technology that play a major role in economic growth. The first is Physical Technology; this is what we are accustomed to thinking of as technology, things such as bronze-making techniques, steam engines, and microchips. Social Technologies, on the other hand, are ways for organizing people to do things. | evolution technology | Eric D. Beinhocker | |

| 3f1d538 | This coupling of market forces and the crowd's demand for publicity means that everyone dreams of monetizing their Instagram feed. And that effectively becomes the ethos of a society. | James K.A. Smith | ||
