| ef134c1 | Come on," he droned, "I've been ordered to take you down to the bridge. Here I am, brain the size of a planet and they ask me to take you down to the bridge. Call that job satisfaction? 'Cos I don't." He turned and walked back to the hated door. "Er, excuse me," said Ford following after him, "which government owns this ship?" Marvin ignored him. "You watch this door," he muttered, "it's about to open again. I can tell by the intolerable ai.. | Douglas Adams | ||
| c28f8ae | It must often be so, Sam, when things are in danger: some one has to give them up, lose them, so that others may keep them. | j-r-r-tolkien lord-of-the-rings return-of-the-king samwise-gamgee | J.R.R. Tolkien | |

| 92a8c20 | All men live enveloped in whale-lines. All are born with halters round their necks; but it is only when caught in the swift, sudden turn of death, that mortals realize the silent, subtle, ever-present perils of life. And if you be a philosopher, though seated in the whale-boat, you would not at heart feel one whit more of terror, than though seated before your evening fire with a poker, and not a harpoon, by your side. | mortality | Herman Melville | |
| a9587f5 | Jesus.. says, 'Let go of your complaints, forgive those who loved you poorly, step over your feelings of being rejected, and have the courage to trust that you won't fall into an abyss of nothingness but into the safe embrace of a God whose love will heal all your wounds. | Henri J.M. Nouwen | ||
| bdabd43 | Nick sat on the stairs, completely comatose. He stared straight ahead as if he'd been frozen in place. "Nick? You all right?" He didn't respond. Kyrian moved around him until he stood in front of him. He snapped his fingers in front of Nick's face. "Kid?" Nick blinked before he met Kyrian's gaze. "I'm not worthy," he said in a breathless tone. Baffled by his comment, Kyrian stared at him. "What?" Nick gestured towards his cars. "Dude .. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 98ab720 | All right, asshole. You want to wallow, wallow. It's no sweat off my balls if you crawl inside a bottle and pickle yourself solid. I've got other things to think about now. But let me remind you of something a good friend once said to me when I was being eaten alive by feelings I didn't understand. 'Even when my marriage was bad, it was good.' I had no real idea what you meant that night, but now I do and I'm grateful to the gods I can fina.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||

| 2f5f3e9 | How did you fastforward and turn it off? (Danger) I wanted it off and off it went. (Alexion) Wow, that's amazing. I guess this makes me the luckiest woman in the world. (Danger) How so? (Alexion) I've found the only man alive who won't ever shout out, 'honey, where's the remote?' then tear my house apart in pursuit of it. (Danger) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 894eb65 | Syn has a brain disorder that causes him to lie most of the time. Ignore him. (Nykyrian) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 4930634 | You're the only thing I've ever done right in my entire life and if anything ever happened to you, they'd have to dig two graves 'cause I couldn't live a single day without my baby beside me. (Cherise) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 7a4a19e | Oh, good grief! I've never had a man pick me up before and not grunt like he's dying. I'm in heaven. Marry me, Ash, please! (Pam) I would say yes, but I come with more baggage than even Samsonite can cover. (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 8e1cee4 | Then why haven't you killed yourself? (Astrid) Why should I? The only enjoyment I have in my life is knowing I piss off everyone around me. If I were dead, it would make them all happy. God forbid I should ever do that. (Zarek) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| fc01c39 | Possible or not, they tried to turn me into a Nick McNugget. (Nick) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 0ea56ec | C'mon, Tabitha. You stabbed me the night we met without even blinking. (Valerius) Yeah, but you were a dirtbag then. (Tabitha) I think I'm offended. (Valerius) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| fe7641c | You would give John Travolta a run for his money. (Tory) Yeah, and I'm sorry about my clothes. I tried, but I just couldn't bring myself to wear that. Hell, I couldn't do the disco look even when it was popular. I swear I'm allergic to polyester. Thank God for the punk movement. Otherwise I'd have been naked for a decade. (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 9351ef6 | One, he used to be Pack so he knows how dangerous this kind of killing on our territory is, that we can'tand won'tleave town. Two, he hates Clay. Three, he hates Jeremy. Four, he hates all of uswith the exception of our dear Elena, who, conveniently, wasn't at Stonehaven to be affected by the mess, which I'm sure Daniel knew. Five, he really hates Clay. Sixoh, wait, other handsix, he's a murderous cannibalizing bastard. Seven, did I m.. | elena | Kelley Armstrong | |
| 9cb68c5 | I didn't deserve Jeremy's kindness. I knew that. I suppose that was why I always questioned his motivation. In the beginning, every time he'd done something nice for me, I'd searched for a glimpse of evil behind the kindness, some nefarious motivation. After all, he was a monster. He had to be evil. When I'd realized there was nothing bad in Jeremy, I'd latched on to another excuse: that he was good to me because he was stuck with me, becau.. | Kelley Armstrong | ||
| 4affd60 | But I must go on," said the Lady Amalthea, "for it is never finished. Even when I wake, I cannot tell what is real, and what I am dreaming as I move and speak and eat my dinner. I remember what cannot have happened, and forget something that is happening to me know. People look at me as though I should know them, and I do know them in the dream, and always the fire draws me nearer, though I am awake--" | Peter S. Beagle | ||

| b7ffc0a | People can be teachers and idiots; they can be philosophers and idiots; they can be politicians and idiots... in fact I think they have to be... a genius can be an idiot. The world is largely run for and by idiots; it is no great handicap in life and in certain areas is actually a distinct advantage and even a prerequisite for advancement. | Iain M. Banks | ||

| 36bea46 | Anything approaching the change that came over his features I have never seen before, and hope never to see again. Oh, I wasn't touched. I was fascinated. It was as though a veil had been rent. I saw on that ivory face the expression of sombre pride, of ruthless power, of craven terror--of an intense and hopeless despair. Did he live his life again in every detail of desire, temptation, and surrender during that supreme moment of complete k.. | morality struggle the-horror | Joseph Conrad | |

| 3d21a54 | The flames sawed in the wind and the embers paled and deepened and paled and deepened like the bloodbeat of some living thing eviscerate upon the ground before them and they watched the fire which does contain within it something of men themselves inasmuch as they are less without it and are divided from their origins and are exiles. For each fire is all fires, and the first fire and the last ever to be. | Cormac McCarthy | ||
| 97c84c1 | I have no enemies. I dont permit such a thing. | Cormac McCarthy | ||
| 6b7fb32 | Moral law is an invention of mankind for the disenfranchisement of the powerful in favor of the weak. Historical law subverts it at every turn. A moral view can never be proven right or wrong by any ultimate test. A man falling dead in a duel is not thought thereby to be proven in error as to his views. His very involvement in such a trial gives evidence of a new and broader view. The willingness of the principals to forgo further argument .. | Cormac McCarthy | ||

| f778210 | Daddy, What's the horizontal tango? | Simone Elkeles | ||
| af42204 | So Oz finally became home; the imagined world became the actual world, as it does for us all, because the truth is that once we have left our childhood places and started out to make our own lives, armed only with what we have and are, we understand that the real secret of the ruby slippers is not that "there's no place like home," but rather that there is no longer such a place as home: except, of course, for the homes we make, or the home.. | Salman Rushdie | ||
| cb8cb0d | I was too young that time to value her, But now I know her. If she be a traitor, Why, so am I. We still have slept together, Rose at an instant, learned, played, eat together, And wheresoe'er we went, like Juno's swans, Still we went coupled and inseparable. | celia cousins plays rosalind sisters | William Shakespeare | |
| 10f5885 | If to do were as easy as to know what were good to do, chapels had been churches, and poor men's cottages princes' palaces. It is a good divine that follows his own instructions: I can easier teach twenty what were good to be done, than be one of the twenty to follow mine own teaching. | good-intentions goodness | William Shakespeare | |

| 891edd5 | I grip the edge of a sidewalk cafe table to keep from falling. The diners stare in alarm, but I don't care. I'm reeling, and I gasp for air. How can I have been so stupid? How could I have ever for a moment believed I wasn't in love with him? | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| 551f458 | The rule is: the word 'it's' (with apostrophe) stands for 'it is' or 'it has'. If the word does not stand for 'it is' or 'it has' then what you require is 'its'. This is extremely easy to grasp. Getting your itses mixed up is the greatest solecism in the world of punctuation. No matter that you have a PhD and have read all of Henry James twice.
