| 45a10a4 | But how can you walk away from something and still come back to it?" "Easy," said the cat. "Think of somebody walking around the world.

| 75e7ca1 | Fair enough," said Thor. "What's the price?" "Freya's hand in marriage." "He just wants her hand?" asked Thor hopefully.

| ace0c66 | Long Time. The famous seventeenth-century Ming painter Chou Yung relates a story that altered his behavior forever. Late one winter afternoon he set out to visit a town that lay across the river from his own town. He was bringing some important books and papers with him and had commissioned a young boy to help him carry them.

| f798659 | There is no experience like having children.' That's all. There is no substitute for it. You cannot do it with a friend. You cannot do it with a lover. If you want the experience of having complete responsibility for another human being, and to learn how to love and bond in the deepest way, then you should have children. | children experience family having-children life love responsibility truth | Mitch Albom | |
| 1bf0b0f | Mi abuela tenia una teoria muy interesante; decia que todos nacemos con una caja de fosforos adentro, pero que no podemos encenderlos solos... necesitamos la ayuda del oxigeno y una vela. En este caso el oxigeno, por ejemplo, vendria del aliento de la persona que amamos; la vela podria ser cualquier tipo de comida, musica, caricia, palabra o sonido que engendre la explosion que encendera uno de los fosforos. Por un momento, nos deslumbra un.. | Laura Esquivel | ||

| bdbe281 | I think perhaps we want a more conscious life. We're tired of drudging and sleeping and dying. We're tired of seeing just a few people able to be individualists. We're tired of always deferring hope till the next generation. We're tired of hearing politicians and priests and cautious reformers... coax us, 'Be calm! Be patient! Wait! We have the plans for a Utopia already made; just wiser than you.' For ten thousand years they've said that. .. | Sinclair Lewis | ||
| e5f5a79 | I am afraid. I am not solid, but hollow. I feel behind my eyes a numb, paralyzed cavern, a pit of hell, a mimicking nothingness. I never thought, I never wrote, I never suffered. I want to kill myself, to escape from responsibility, to crawl back abjectly into the womb. I do not know who I am, where I am going - and I am the one who has to decide the answers to these hideous questions. | Sylvia Plath | ||
| 01460db | Let me not be weak and tell others how bleeding I am internally; how day by day it drips, and gathers, and congeals. | Sylvia Plath | ||
| 8f9664f | Sometimes, she said, mostly to herself, I feel I do not know my children... It was a fleeting statement, one I didn't think she'd hold on to; after all, she had birthed us alone, diapered and fed us, helped us with homework, kissed and hugged us, poured her love into us. That she might not actually know us seemed the humblest thing a mother could admit. | Aimee Bender | ||

| 6ac1913 | So, what do you do when you know you have two days to live? Eat an entire Bitter Chocolate Death cake all by myself. Reread my favorite novel. Buy eight dozen roses from the best florist in town--the super expensive ones, the ones that smell like roses rather than merely looking like them--and put them all over my apartment. Take a good long look at everyone I love. | Robin McKinley | ||
| e6bd8fa | I hope that we shall crush in its birth the aristocracy of our monied corporations which dare already to challenge our government to a trial of strength, and bid defiance to the laws of our country. | founding-fathers government | Thomas Jefferson | |
| 3504dfa | He had a tremendous propensity for getting lost when driving. This was largely because of his method of "Zen" navigation, which was simply to find any car that looked as if it knew where it was going and follow it. The results were more often surprising than successful, but he felt it was worth it for the sake of the few occasions when it was both." -- | Douglas Adams | ||

| 1e8a4c3 | I don't keep a travel diary. I did keep a travel diary once and it was a big mistake. All I remember of that trip is what I bothered to write down.

My holiday becomes the snapshots and anything I forget to record is lost. | Alex Garland | ||

| baee3fc | If you could fly to France in one minute, you could go straight into the sunset, right from noon. Unfortunately, France is too far away for that. But on your tiny planet, my little prince, all you need do is move your chair a few steps. You can see the day end and the twilight falling whenever you like...

| b728ffe | The kiss . . . holy alien babies, the kiss was a raw combination of lust and possession. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| 532b309 | It's just that since the moment I realized what healing you meant, or what I thought it meant, I never thought I'd face a day without you. That I'd never have to worry about going on if you weren't there. And I'm not trying to make this into some kind of Romeo and Juliet bullshit, but now I know there's a chance of that and it . . . it fucking terrifies me, Kat. It really does. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| 48b0e75 | At least I now knew that the male species were asses no matter what planet they hailed from. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||

They wait for it, and in time, it comes. | teaching | Darren Shan | |
