| 093a4bf | Let's set the existence-of-God issue aside for a later volume, and just stipulate that in some way, self-replicating organisms came into existence on this planet and immediately began trying to get rid of each other, either by spamming their environments with rough copies of themselves, or by more direct means which hardly need to be belabored. Most of them failed, and their genetic legacy was erased from the universe forever, but a few fou.. | Neal Stephenson | ||
| f1daae6 | Their desire was silent yet magnificent, like a thousand daisies attuning their faces toward the path of the sun. | Jeffrey Eugenides | ||
| 705f0c5 | Decebel looked over at Fane. "A face tu fiecare a lua ce ei say?(Do you ever get what they say?)" Fane smiled at his Beta. "Nu mai incerce sa, (No longer try)." "Good call." Decebel nodded. Jen looked over at Decebel, her eyes narrowing. "No talking in foreign tongue when around the Americans." Decebel leaned towards her, the gleam in his eyes causing Jen to tremble. "But Jennifer, I thought you spoke Romanian." He looked around at Sally an.. | Quinn Loftis | ||
| d30e8de | We are not an endangered species ourselves yet, but this is not for lack of trying. | Douglas Adams | ||
| 47fec1a | I am a private detective. I am paid to be inquisitive and presumptuous. | Douglas Adams | ||
| 837d4fe | Far out in the uncharted backwaters of the unfashionable end of the Western spiral arm of the galaxy lies a small unregarded yellow sun. Orbiting this, at a distance of roughly ninety million miles is an utterly insignificant little blue-green planet, whose ape descended life forms are so amazingly primitive that they still think digital watches are a pretty neat idea. This planet has, or had, a problem, which was this. Most of the people l.. | Douglas Adams | ||
| 04c01ae | 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 | ||
| e9cca04 | Zaphod felt he was teetering on the edge of madness and wondered if he shouldn't just jump over and have done with it. | madness sanity | Douglas Adams | |
| fe47869 | Go back to the abyss! Fall into nothingness that awaits you and your master! | J.R.R. Tolkien | ||

| 20128eb | But of bliss and glad life there is little to be said, before it ends; as works fair and wonderful, while they still endure for eyes to see, are ever their own record, and only when they are in peril or broken for ever do they pass into song. | tolkien | J.R.R. Tolkien | |
| c99e5ab | Their 'magic' is Art, delivered from many of its human limitations. | J.R.R. Tolkien | ||
| 7ed8025 | I'll get there, if I leave everything but my bones behind, | J.R.R. Tolkien | ||
| ce718c4 | You don't actually do a project; you can only do action steps related to it. When enough of the right action steps have been taken, some situation will have been created that matches your initial picture of the outcome closely enough that you can call it "done." | David Allen | ||
| b1eee02 | Revenge is the concern of those who are at some point or other beaten. I am not beaten, I told myself. No, not beaten. And victory is far more interesting to contemplate than revenge. | Anne Rice | ||
| bc40982 | Yeah, I'm thinking it's a reunion or, since it is our classmates, a collection of idiots. Let's call it a meese. Like geese, only with morons. (Caleb) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| e6c829b | Yes, you do. And when you find yourself back in Kalosis in a few seconds with a wide-eyes Trates and a pissed-off Stryker, remember that I'm watching you and that the Weres are off-limits in this game. You want to fuck with Artemis, fuck with Artemis. You want to fuck with me...make out your will. (Savitar) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| a8ffb94 | Oh, gah, I've been slimed. (Jericho) It's not slime. It's a baby kiss. (Delphine) It's slime. (Zarek) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 80f4952 | Nick was dressed in jeans, a dark green sweater, and bomber jacket-the perfect image of a rich college student. Talon looked like a biker who had just left Sanctuary, New Orleans's premier biker bar. Acheron looked like a refugee from the Dungeon-the local underground goth hangout. Valerius was the professional contingent, and Zarek...Zarek just looked like he was ready to kill something.' (Talon) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| a544f2b | In the land of Bad Ass, Acheron reigned supreme. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 8a8679b | Not to mention, we're using you for bait. (Syn) Are you that drunk? (Nykyrian) What? I wasn't supposed to tell her that? (Syn) I'm bait? (Kiara) No, you're not bait. Ignore the alcoholic whose view of reality is distorted by his brain-damaged hallucinations. (Nykyrian) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| b5698f6 | See how exciting Anthropology is? He's a leading expert in ancient Greece. Now you should all change your majors so that you can ogle men like him all day long. Or better yet, uncover naked male statues. (Tory) Was that necessary? (Acheron) Hey, I live to recruit students for the department. If I can make you good for something, then by golly I'm going to do it. (Tory) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 3105ffc | Baby, it's either laugh or cry and crying takes way too much energy. If you can't find humor in the shit life heaps on you, you really will grow miserable. (Syn) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| a3ab802 | Oh, gods, you're mated! I really hope it's to Aimee. (Bride) Thankfully so. Otherwise I'd have had to kill me some ho and then beat Fang senseless. (Aimee) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 555cb97 | Don't push me, princess. (Zarek) Oooo. Next thing you'll be talking like the Incredible Hulk. 'Don't make me angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.' You're not scary to me, Mr. Zarek. So you can just check the attitude at the door and play nice while you're here. (Astrid) If you want nice, baby, play with your fucking dog. When you're ready to play with a man, then call me. (Zarek) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| bf122ac | Don't push me, Savitar.(Apollymi) And don't push me. You may be a goddess by birth, but I'm a lot more than just a Chthonian and you know that. I survived a hell you can't even imagine and its fires forged a core of steel within me. You want to battle, pick up your sword. But remember the number of gods before you who sought to kill me and failed. (Savitar) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| c67e474 | You know I can't go out there. There's daylight outside. (Ravyn) Well, that's what happens when the big yellow ball comes up over the mountains. Amazing isn't it? (Susan) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 06640f2 | Could you please put this--could you all put these--could you get dressed, please?" The woman only bestowed a serene smile on me. "We are as the Goddess requires." "The Goddess requires you to be naked on my lawn?" | Kelley Armstrong | ||

| 361b8b0 | What happened instead was that the tree fell in love with him and began to murmur fondly of the joy to be found in the eternal embrace of a red oak. "Always, always," it sighed, "faithful beyond any man's deserving. I will keep the color of your eyes when no other in the world remembers your name. There is no immortality but a tree's love." -- | Peter S. Beagle | ||
| aaf1c4e | I know exactly how you feel," Schmendrick said eagerly. The unicorn looked at him out of dark, endless eyes, and he smiled nervously and looked at his hands. "It's a rare man who is taken for what he truly is," he said. "There is much misjudgment in the world. Now I knew you for a unicorn when I first saw you, and I know that I am your friend. Yet you take me for a clown, or a clod, or a betrayer, and so must I be if you see me so. The magi.. | Peter S. Beagle | ||

| 47de620 | Without the existence of the opposite, the concept has no meaning. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 570631a | Up until then I'd thought that white people and colored people getting along was the big aim, but after that I decided everybody being colorless together was a better plan. I thought of that policeman, Eddie Hazelwurst, saying I'd lowered myself to be in this house of colored women, and for the very life of me I couldn't understand how it had turned out this way, how colored women had become the lowest ones on the totem pole. You only had t.. | race women | Sue Monk Kidd | |
| 2e35b73 | We wait. We are bored. (He throws up his hand.) No, don't protest, we are bored to death, there's no denying it. Good. A diversion comes along and what do we do? We let it go to waste. Come, let's get to work! (He advances towards the heap, stops in his stride.) In an instant all will vanish and we'll be alone more, in the midst of nothingness! | Samuel Beckett | ||
| 043b924 | There is an old American saying 'He who lives in a glass house should not try to kill two birds with one stone. | Vladimir Nabokov | ||

| b98bcda | Reading is the creative center of a writer's life." -" -- | Stephen King | ||
| 87c2b99 | But it is no use to justify yourself. It is no good to explain. It is weak to be anecdotal. It is wise to conceal the past even if there is nothing to conceal. A man's power is in the half-light, in the half-seen movements of his hand and the unguessed-at expression of his face. It is the absence of facts that frightens people: the gap you open, into which they pour their fears, fantasies, desires. | power secret | Hilary Mantel | |
| f15da56 | He shook his head. You're asking that I make myself vulnerable and that I can never do. I have only one way to live. It doesn't allow for special cases. A coin toss perhaps. In this case to small purpose. Most people don't believe that there can be such a person. You see what a problem that must be for them. How to prevail over that which you refuse to acknowledge the existence of. Do you understand? When I came into your life your life was.. | Cormac McCarthy | ||
| c549b02 | Writing and reading decrease our sense of isolation. They deepen and widen and expand our sense of life: they feed the soul. | Anne Lamott | ||
| 378484a | It's a funny thing about looking for things. If you hunt for a needle in a haystack you don't find it. If you don't give a darn whether you ever see the needle or not it runs into you the first time you lean against the stack. | P.G. Wodehouse |
