| e080eee | You don't love someone because they're perfect," she says. "You love them in spite of the fact that they're not."

| 827ac35 | What the Chronics are - or most of us - are machines with flaws inside that can't be repaired, flaws born in, or flaws beat in over so many years of the guy running head-on into solid things that by the time the hospital found him he was bleeding rust in some vacant lot. | Ken Kesey | ||

| 67c5968 | The difference between a criminal and an outlaw is that while criminals frequently are victims, outlaws never are. Indeed, the first step toward becoming a true outlaw is the refusal to be victimized. All people who live subject to other people's laws are victims.

Because in those moments I start to think that I will never be capable of beginning to live a real life; because I have already begun to think that I have lost all sense of proportion, all sense of the real and the actual; because, what is more, I have cursed myself; because my nights of fantasy are followed by hideous moments of sobering! And all the time one hears the human crowd .. | fantasy reality shadow time | Fyodor Dostoyevsky | |

| 4302a91 | Never in her life - she could swear it from the bottom of her soul - had she ever intended to do wrong; yet these hard judgments had come. Whatever her sins, they were not sins of intention, but of inadvertence, and why should she have been punished so persistently? | Thomas Hardy | ||

| adef29a | How often the priest had heard the same confession--Man was so limited: he hadn't even the ingenuity to invent a new vice: the animals knew as much.

| b8fc15f | Yes. The opposite of love is not hate. It is indifference. That is why few people find God. They go to church and talk about him and that sort of thing.

God is too abstract for people. God is a word without meaning. If Jesus came back today, nothing he said would make .. | christopher-pike thirst-volume-1 | Christopher Pike | |

"We're a two-for-one-deal." "Excuse me?" "I come with him." "The fuck you do." The man lost any levity in his voice. "It's past of the arrangement, and believe me, I wouldn't choose this either.

His slut of a cousin, his cocksucking, suit-wearing, Montblanc-up-the-ass cousin Saxton the Magnificent, was standing next to the queen, looking like a combination of Cary Grant and some model in a goddamn cologne ad. Not that Qhuinn was bitter. Because the guy was sharing Blay's bed. Nah. Nope. Not at all. The Cocksucker- With a wince, he thought maybe he should switch that .. | heartache quinn | J.R. Ward | |
| a123032 | When he heard light, rushing footfalls, he turned his head. Someone was racing along the second-floor balcony. Then laughter drifted down from above. Glorious feminine laughter. He leaned out the archway and glanced at the grand staircase. Bella appeared on the landing above, breathless, smiling, a black satin robe gathered in her hands. As she slowed at the head of the stairs, she looked over her shoulder, her thick dark hair swinging li.. | john-matthew zsadist | J.R. Ward | |
