| 8f22973 | I sighed. "Mom, it's not like we're going to have sex with you home." "Well, honey, it's good to know that you only have sex when I'm not home." Daemon coughed as he fought a smile. "We can stay--" | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| 7a8255b | I think that's possibly the nicest thing you have said to me. Ever." I laughed. "No it's not. I've said nice things to you before." "Like what?" There had to be another situation when I'd said something nice. "Like... when... " I couldn't think of anything. Jeez, I was a bitch. "Okay. That is the first nice thing I've said to you." "I think I need a moment to recognize and cherish this." | humor seth | Jennifer L. Armentrout | |
| 107236d | Sometimes you lie to deceive people. Sometimes you lie because you need the lie to become the truth. | lying truth | Rick Riordan | |
| 896d08b | Another guy barked orders to a small army of brooms, mops, and buckets that were scuttling around, cleaning up the city. "Like that cartoon," Sadie said. "Where Mickey Mouse tries to do magic and the brooms keep splitting and toting water." "'The Sorcerer's Apprentice,'" Zia said. "You do know that was based on an Egyptian story, don't you?" | Rick Riordan | ||
| f6861e5 | If I've got the powers of a god, then why am I so..." "Lame?" Sadie suggested. "Shut up," I said." | Rick Riordan | ||
| 1baff14 | Kinzie smiled smugly. "You admire our base of operations? Yes, our distribution system is worldwide. It took many years and most of our fortune to build. Now, finally, we're turning a profit. The mortals don't realize they are funding the Amazon kingdom. Soon, we'll be richer than any mortal nation. Then--when the weak mortals depend on us for everything--the revolution will begin!" "What are you going to do?" Frank grumbled.

| abbdc6b | I mean, five gods in one stomach--dang. That's enough for doubles tennis, including a ref. They'd been down there so long, they were probably hoping Kronos would swallow down a deck of cards or a Monopoly game. | Rick Riordan | ||
| e82b2e7 | Your former friend Luke " Poseidon corrected. "He once promised things like that. He was Hermes's pride and joy. Just bear that in mind Percy. Even the bravest can fall." | poseidon | Rick Riordan | |
| 33a20c4 | Child of Hades, what more could I do to you? You are perfect! So much sorrow and pain!' Nico gasped. His eyes flew open. | nico-di-angelo | Rick Riordan | |
| ee61e6f | The whole crew sat on the deck, without a storm or a monster attack to worry about for the first time in days, and ate ice cream. Well, except for Frank, who was lactose intolerant. He got an apple. | lactose-intolerant percy-jackson | Rick Riordan | |
| 28b482b | I slashed a wide arc with Riptide and vaporized the entire front row of monsters. Back off!" I yelled at the rest, trying to sound fierce. Behind them stood their instructor--a six-foot-tall telekhine with Doberman fangs snarling at me. I did my best to stare him down. New lesson, class," I announced. "Most monsters will vaporize when sliced with a celestial bronze sword. This change is perfectly normal, and will happen to you if you don'.. | Rick Riordan | ||
| 08e4046 | Julius told me how much you'd grown, but I couldn't believe it. Carter, I bet you're shaving--" "Mom." "--and dating girls--" "Mom!" Have you ever noticed how parents can go from the most wonderful people in the world to totally embarrassing in three seconds?" | Rick Riordan | ||
| 347557b | Too bad Jason wasn't a metal automaton. At least then Leo would have some idea of how to help his best friend. But with humans ... Leo felt helpless. They broke way too easily. | jason-grace leo-valdez love machinery | Rick Riordan | |

| b58f1fd | When they're gone out of his head, these words, they'll be gone, everywhere, forever. As if they had never been. | Margaret Atwood | ||
| 44f2dd8 | A Paradox, the doughnut hole. Empty space, once, but now they've learned to market even that. A minus quantity; nothing, rendered edible. I wondered if they might be used-metaphorically, of course-to demonstrate the existence of God. Does naming a sphere of nothingness transmute it into being? | marketing philosophy religion | Margaret Atwood | |
| bd2e7f9 | The wounds received in battle bestow honor, they do not take it away... | Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra | ||
| 8f3949d | A woman cannot bear to feel empty and purposeless. But a man may take real pleasure in that feeling. A man can take real pride and satisfaction in pure negation: 'I am quite empty of feeling. I don't care the slightest bit in the world for anybody or anything except myself. But I do care for myself, and I'm going to survive in spite of them all, and I'm going to have my own success without caring the least in the world how I get it. Because.. | D.H. Lawrence | ||
| 23037e9 | Love hasn't got anything to do with the heart, the heart's a disgusting organ, a sort of pump full of blood. Love is primarily concerned with the lungs. People shouldn't say "she's broken my heart" but "she's stifled my lungs." Lungs are the most romantic organs: lovers and artists always contract tuberculosis. It's not a coincidence that Chekhov, Kafka, D.H. Lawrence, Chopin, George Orwell and St Therese of Lisieux all died of it; as for C.. | Frédéric Beigbeder | ||
| ca945bd | Love itself became the object of her love. She loved herself in love, she loved loving love, as love loves loving, and was able, in that way, to reconcile herself with a world that fell so short of what she would have hoped for. | Jonathan Safran Foer | ||
| 08176f0 | Talk into my bullet hole. Tell me I'm fine. | Denis Johnson | ||
| c0ac287 | We can never establish with certainty what part of our relations with others is the result of our emotions - love, antipathy, charity, or malice - and what part is predetermined by the constant power play among individuals. | Milan Kundera | ||
| a5647f7 | Hate traps us by binding us too tightly to our adversary. | Milan Kundera | ||
| 51fc480 | I'm the Turtle, son. I made the universe, but please don't blame me for it; I had a belly-ache. | Stephen King | ||
| ede9037 | Time is a keyhole, he thought as he looked up at the stars. Yes, I think so. We sometimes bend and peer through it. And the wind we feel on our cheeks when we do - the wind that blows through the keyhole- is the breath of all the living universe. | Stephen King | ||
| 4db9cd7 | Where there is light, there must be shadow, where there is shadow there must be light. There is no shadow without light and no light without shadow.... We do not know if the so-called Little People are good or evil. This is, in a sense, something that surpasses our understanding and our definitions. We have lived with them since long, long ago-- from a time before good and evil even existed, when people's minds were still benighted. | Haruki Murakami | ||
| 5673702 | Why does man kill? He kills for food. And not only food: Frequently there must be a beverage. | food killing | Woody Allen | |
| 6c2b6af | you're not a bad person because you want to be yourself. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 59b5122 | Families were never what you wanted them to be. We all wanted what we couldn't have: the perfect child, the doting husband, the mother who wouldn't let go. We live in our grown-up dollhouses completely unaware that, at any moment, a hand might come in and change around everything we'd become accustomed to. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 642203f | I know better than most people that a criminal isn't always a thug in a black leather jacket with a big brand on his forehead to warn us away. Criminals sit next to us on the bus. They pack our groceries and cash our paychecks for us and teach our children. They look no different from you or me. And that's why they get away with it. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| 752ba72 | Sometimes I aint so sho who's got ere a right to say when a man is crazy and when he aint. Sometimes I think it aint none of us pure crazy and aint none of us pure sane until the balance of us talks him that-a-way. It's like it aint so much what a fellow does, but it's the way the majority of folks is looking at him when he does it. | William Faulkner | ||
| 83f05c7 | Whatever else is unsure in this stinking dunghill of a world a mother's love is not. | James Joyce | ||

| cbe5b2c | We cannot ignore our pain and feel compassion for it at the same time. | Brené Brown | ||
| c38ed8d | The American system is the most ingenious system of control in world history. With a country so rich in natural resources, talent, and labor power the system can afford to distribute just enough wealth to just enough people to limit discontent to a troublesome minority. It is a country so powerful, so big, so pleasing to so many of its citizens that it can afford to give freedom of dissent to the small number who are not pleased. There is n.. | Howard Zinn | ||
| 8b15e7e | Faith is the truth of passion. Since no passion is more true than another, faith is the truth of nothing. | R. Scott Bakker | ||
| fb4c48b | Doubt begets understanding, and understanding begets compassion. Verily, it is conviction that kills. | R. Scott Bakker | ||
| 0a127b5 | Pounce had it easier than any of us. No one noticed a black cat in the street. He stopped here and there to sniff aught of interest. Wherever our Rat stopped, Pounce was there, close enough to see up the Rat's nose. I was so proud. Now there was a proper god, making himself useful! Since my thought might be deemed blasphemy, I said silent prayers to the Goddess and to Mithros. I begged forgiveness and asked them not to misunderstand. Since .. | gods prayer | Tamora Pierce | |
| 2b9f445 | You cannot control what you love--you watch it driving recklessly towards the broken bridge, the torn-up track, the horror of seventy years ahead. | Graham Greene | ||
| f806e3a | We can love with our minds, but can we love only with our minds? Love extends itself all the time, so that we can love even with our senseless nails: we love even with our clothes, so that a sleeve can feel a sleeve. | Graham Greene | ||
| 878b028 | The sun rose like a stripper, keeping its glory well covered by cloud till it seemed there'd be no show at all. | lulz similes | Clive Barker | |
