| 4fd8986 | Percy: I'll walk down to the cabins and Connor and Travis are stealing stuff from the camp store, and Silena is arguing with Annabeth trying to give her a new makeover, and Clarisse is still sticking the new kids' head into the toilets. It's nice that some things never change. | everyone funny normal | Rick Riordan | |
| 69bcbd1 | Sure it will hurt. But so what? Pain is just a state of mind. You can think your way out of anything, even pain. | thought | Rodman Philbrick | |
| c673490 | If you are the light, if your enemies are darkness, then there's nothing that you cannot justify. There's nothing you can't survive, because there's nothing that you will not do. | Emily St. John Mandel | ||
| b3c3c14 | The earth is not a lair, neither is it a prison. The earth is a Paradise, the only one we'll ever know. We will realize it the moment we open our eyes. We don't have to make it a Paradise-it is one. We have only to make ourselves fit to inhabit it. The man with the gun, the man with murder in his heart, cannot possibly recognize Paradise even when he is shown it. | Henry Miller | ||
| 757b4b5 | I will go directly to her home, ring the bell, and walk in. Here I am, take me-or stab me to death. Stab the heart, stab the brains, stab the lungs, the kidneys, the viscera, the eyes, the ears. If only one organ be left alive you are doomed-doomed to be mine, forever, in this world and the next and all the worlds to come. I'm a desperado of love, a scalper, a slayer. I'm insatiable. I eat hair, dirty wax, dry blood clots, anything and ever.. | Henry Miller | ||

| 0f1111a | Can I be blamed for wanting a real body, to put my arms around? Without it I too am disembodied.

| ee51ff0 | I remember the rules, rules that were never spelled out but every woman knew: Don't open your door to a stranger, even if he says he is the police. Make him slide his ID under the door. Don't stop on the road to help a motorist pretending to be in trouble. Keep the locks on and keep going. If anyone whistles, don't turn to look. Don't go into a laundromat, by yourself, at night. I think about laundromats. What I wore to them: shorts, jeans,.. | Margaret Atwood | ||
| d5c006c | It's odd how different a house feels when one is alone in it. It makes it easier to think rather private thoughts... | Dodie Smith | ||

| 699aec2 | What are you doing?" "What I've wanted to do for a long time." She couldn't move, couldn't think.

| ecd9633 | You can run from the truth. You can run and hide from the truth. You can deny and avoid the truth. But you cannot destroy the truth. Nor can you make the lie true.

| d9e37fb | The sister played so beautifully. Her face was tilted to one side and she followed the notes with soulful and probing eyes. Gregor advanced a little, keeping his eyes low so that they might possibly meet hers. Was he a beast if music could move him so? | Franz Kafka | ||
| f905a47 | What a fate: to be condemned to work for a firm where the slightest negligence at once gave rise to the gravest suspicion! Were all the employees nothing but a bunch of scoundrels, was there not among them one single loyal devoted man who, had he wasted only an hour or so of the firm's time in the morning, was so tormented by conscience as to be driven out of his mind and actually incapable of leaving his bed? | Franz Kafka | ||
| 257ecb2 | Everything that occurs out of necessity, everything expected, repeated day in and day out is mute. Only chance can speak to us. We read its message much as gypsies read the images made by coffee grounds at the bottom of the cup. | Milan Kundera | ||

| 7b88338 | It takes so little, so infinitely little, for someone to find himself on the other side of the border, where everything - love, convictions, faith, history - no longer has meaning. The whole mystery of human life resides on the fact that it is spent in the immediate proximity of, and even in direct contact with, that border, that it is separated from it not by kilometers but by barely a millimeter. | forgetting meaningless | Milan Kundera | |
| 151c93a | Loving people, and allowing yourself to be loved, was only worth the risk if the odds were in your favor, but they quite clearly weren't. There were about seventy-nine squillion people in the world, and if you were very lucky, you would end up being loved by fifteen or twenty of them. So how smart did you have to be to work out that it just wasn't worth the risk? | Nick Hornby | ||
| fa0034d | I was still owed an explanation, I thought, but so what? What good was it going to do me? It wouldn't have made me any happier. It was like scratching when you have chicken pox. You think it's going to help, but the itch moves over, and then moves over again. My itch suddenly felt miles away, and I couldn't have reached it with the longest arms in the world. Realizing that made me scared that I was going to be itchy forever, and I didn't wa.. | Nick Hornby | ||

| 5baf2b3 | They all think any minute I'm going to commit suicide. What a joke. The truth of course is the exact opposite: suicide is the only thing that keeps me alive. Whenever everything else fails, all I have to do is consider suicide and in two seconds I'm as cheerful as a nitwit. But if I could not kill myself -- ah then, I would. I can do without nembutal or murder mysteries but not without suicide. | Walker Percy | ||

| bd21a16 | Le rogo a Dios que le concediera al menos un instante para que el no se fuera sin saber cuanto lo habia querido por encima de las dudas de ambos, y sintio un apremio irresistible de empezar la vida con el otra vez desde el principio para decirse todo lo que se les quedo sin decir, y volver a hacer bien cualquier cosa que hubieran hecho mal en el pasado.
