| 5916a4d | I sit quietly and think about my mom. It's funny how memory erodes, If all I had to work from were my childhood memories, my knowledge of my mother would be faded and soft, with a few sharp memories standing out. | happiness loss love memory mother | Audrey Niffenegger | |
| 5981244 | As long as I am acting out of love, I feel I am doing best I know how. | Donna Tartt | ||
| 00aea7f | Henry's a perfectionist, I mean, really-really kind of inhuman -- very brilliant, very erratic and enigmatic. He's a stiff, cold person, Machiavellian, ascetic and he's made himself what he is by sheer strength of will. His aspiration is to be this Platonic creature of pure rationality and that's why he's attracted to the Classics, and particularly to the Greeks -- all those high, cold ideas of beauty and perfection. | Donna Tartt | ||
| 10dd9fa | Her death the dividing mark: Before and After. And though it's a bleak thing to admit all these years later, still I've never met anyone who made me feel loved the way she did. Everything came alive in her company; she cast a charmed theatrical light about her so that to see anything through her eyes was to see it in brighter colours than ordinary - I remember a few weeks before she died, eating a late supper with her in an Italian restaura.. | Donna Tartt | ||

| 650f728 | She murmured, "You're unfinished." "Aye, precisely." "I need to go." When she moved to get up, he shoved her against his side and slapped her arse to keep her there. "You stay with me." She snapped, "What do you want from me, Chase?" He drew his head back in confusion. "I want everything. You're , Regin." | berserker declan-chase dreams-of-a-dark-warrior immortals-after-dark kresley-cole lore paranormal-romance regin-the-radiant valkyrie | Kresley Cole | |
| 3a648bb | He can learn things about me through your blood. Can learn about my sister!" She briefly covered her mouth. "He can see everything we've done! I don't want that leech to know what we do in private." Lothaire strolled up, making a scoffing sound. "As if I don't watch you two live from a distance." | berserker declan-chase dreams-of-a-dark-warrior immortals-after-dark kresley-cole lore lothaire paranormal-romance regin-the-radiant valkyrie vampire | Kresley Cole | |

| 80e6aec | Last night, Dixon had suggested combat boots in place of Carrow's own--her two-thousand-dollar, gathered-leather, over-the-knee boots. "Do you want me to go in as an enchantress or a warrior?" Carrow had asked testily. "Pick a caste, any caste, mortal. I myself think I have the best chance as an enchantress. And fuck-me boots are standard-issue." | Kresley Cole | ||

| 9d456ad | God's grace is not infinite. God is infinite, and God is gracious. We experience the grace of an infinite God, but grace is not infinite. God sets limits to His patience and forbearance. He warns us over and over again that someday the ax will fall and His judgment will be poured out. | R.C. Sproul | ||
| b1c6971 | You are extraordinary within your limits, but your limits are extraordinary! | Gertrude Stein | ||

| be56f3d | I get cross, then sad, and finally end up turning my heart inside out, and keep trying to find a way to become what I'd like to be and what I could be if....if only there were no other people in the world. | Anne Frank | ||

| 0ee3493 | Mr. Brown had thought of nothing but numbers. He should have known that the kingdom of God did not depend on large crowds. Our Lord Himself stressed the importance of fewness. Narrow is the way and few the number. To fill the Lord's holy temple with an idolatrous crowd clamoring for signs was a folly of everlasting consequence. Our Lord used the whip only once in His life - to drive the crowd away from His church. | church crowds religion | Chinua Achebe | |

| 0282e26 | But pearls are for tears, the old legend says," Gilbert had objected. "I'm not afraid of that. And tears can be happy as well as sad. My very happiest moments have been when I had tears in my eyes--when Marilla told me I might stay at Green Gables--when Matthew gave me the first pretty dress I ever had--when I heard that you were going to recover from the fever. So give me pearls for our troth ring, Gilbert, and I'll willingly accept the so.. | happiness pearls romance tears | L.M. Montgomery | |
| 9e97bb7 | Well, it all comes to this; there's no use trying to live in other people's opinions. The only thing to do is to live in your own. After all, I believe in myself. I'm not so bad and silly as they think me, and I'm not consumptive, and I write. Now that I've written it all out I feel differently about it. The only thing that still aggravates me is that Miss Potter pitied me -- pitied by a Potter! | L.M. Montgomery | ||
| 3a5daeb | There's something about Lily that makes all the terrible parts of me seem irrelevant. That makes a bad day momentary and a good one infinite. It's love like this that's worth living for. | Krista Ritchie | ||

| 4758141 | All my life, I [Pari] have lived like an aquarium fish in the safety of a glass tank, behind a barrier as impenetrable as it has been transparent. I have been free to observe the glimmering world on the other side, to picture myself in it, if I like. But I have always been contained, hemmed in, by the hard, unyielding confines of the existence that Baba has constructed for me, at first knowingly, when I was young, and now guilelessly, now t.. | Khaled Hosseini | ||
| 4f3f3e1 | The opportunity was too perfect to miss. Harry crept silently around behind Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle, bent down, and scooped a large handful of mud out of the path. 'We were just talking about your friend Hagrid,' Malfoy said to Ron. 'Just trying to imagine what he's saying to the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures. D'you think he'll cry when they cut off his hippogriff's--' SPLAT. Malfoy's head jerked back as the mud hit hi.. | humor malfoy mud naughty sneaky sneers trouble | J.K. Rowling | |

"Well - you know," said Ron shrugging. "I'd rather go alone than with - with Eloise Midgen, say." "Her acne's loads better lately - and she's really nice." "Her nose's off-centre," said Ron.
