Grave and thoughtful was her glance, as she looked on the king with cool pity in here eyes. Very fair was her face, and her long hair was like a river of gold.

| 6d2ff4c | But fear no more! I would not take this thing, if it lay by the highway.

| 3f78384 | Consider the subtleness of the sea; how its most dreaded creatures glide under water, unapparent for the most part, and treacherously hidden beneath the loveliest tints of azure..... Consider all this; and then turn to this green, gentle , and most docile earth; consider them both, the sea and the land; and do you not find a strange analogy to something in yourself? | nature | Herman Melville | |

| b72002f | Love has no other desire but to fulfill itself. But if to love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: to melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; and to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; to rest at noon and meditate love's ecstasy; to.. | Kahlil Gibran | ||

| fd1f269 | Life is messy, Ren. It's not easy and it's definitely not for the timid. Everyone has a past. Things that stab them right between the eyes. Old grudges. Old shame. Regrets that steal your sleep and leave you awake until you fear for your own sanity. Betrayals that make your soul scream so loud you wonder why no one else hears it. In the end, we are all alone in that private hell. But life isn't about learning to forgive those who have hurt .. | knowledge wisewords | Sherrilyn Kenyon | |

| 73dbc2c | You're not done with me entirely, human. I'm the mother of his daughter. (Artemis) You're right. You are Katra's mother, poor her. But you're wrong about one thing. (Tory) And that is? (Artemis) I'm no longer human. I'm the Atlantie Kedemonia Theony - the guardian of the Atlantean gods. And right now there's only one of them walking about and to save him from one more bad memory created by you, I'd bathe in your entrails, bitch. As for Kat,.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
