| 6ac5d5b | And then as you were sleeping, you said my name. You spoke so clearly, at first I thought you'd woken. But you rolled over restlessly and mumbled my name once more, and sighed. The feeling that coursed through me then was unnerving, staggering. And I knew I couldn't ignore you any longer. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 5efacd3 | Be Safe. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| fd4a47b | I thought I'd explained it clearly before. Bella, I can't live in a world where you don't exist. | Stephenie Meyer | ||

| 3dd60ec | A picture held us captive. And we could not get outside it, for it lay in our language and language seemed to repeat it to us inexorably. | philosophy picture solipsism language | Ludwig Wittgenstein | |

| 6d4fad7 | For me a work of fiction exists only insofar as it affords me what I shall bluntly call aesthetic bliss, that is a sense of being somehow, somewhere, connected with other states of being where art (curiosity, tenderness, kindness, ecstasy) is the norm. | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| cca4598 | Even in my revenge fantasy where all I do is exercise, I can still do only twenty-five pull-ups. Pull-ups are tough, no joke. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| d24b17c | I am notorious for making impassioned speeches about things nobody cares about. | Mindy Kaling | ||
| bd13b12 | Do not think that time simply flies away. Do not understand "flying" as the only function of time. If time simply flew away, a separation would exist between you and time. So if you understand time as only passing, then you do not understand the time being. To grasp this truly, every being that exists in the entire world is linked together as moments in time, and at the same time they exist as individual moments of time. Because all momen.. | Ruth Ozeki | ||
| 946df1a | Ive seen the meanness of humans till I dont know why God aint put out the sun and gone away. | Cormac McCarthy | ||
| 533c3b7 | Only now is the child finally divested of all that he has been. His origins are become remote as is his destiny and not again in all the world's turning will there be terrains so wild and barbarous to try whether the stuff of creation may be shaped to man's will or whether his own heart is not another kind of clay. | Cormac McCarthy | ||
| 53b455f | He lay listening to the water drip in the woods. Bedrock, this. The cold and the silence. The ashes of the late world carried on the bleak and temporal winds to and fro in the void. Carried forth and scattered and carried forth again. Everything uncoupled from its shoring. Unsupported in the ashen air. Sustained by a breath, trembling and brief. If only my heart were stone. | mccarthy | Cormac McCarthy | |
| 6d919d3 | I mean, if you're asking a fellow to come out of a room so that you can dismember him with a carving knife, it's absurd to tack a 'sir' on to every sentence. The two things don't go together. | thank-you-jeeves p-g-wodehouse | P.G. Wodehouse | |

| 749d224 | And right this second I want to live in ignorant bliss. | Simone Elkeles | ||
| 2fef7e1 | Everest silences you...when you come down, nothing seems worth saying, nothing at all. You find the nothingness wrapping you up, like a sound. Non-being. You can't keep it up, of course. the world rushes in soon enough. What shuts you up is, I think, the sight you've had of perfection: why speak if you can't manage perfect thoughts, perfect sentences? It feels like a betrayal of what you've been through. But it fades; you accept that certai.. | Salman Rushdie | ||
| 2b963c7 | When you depart from me sorrow abides and happiness takes his leave. | William Shakespeare | ||
| 73a8b38 | We few. We happy few. We band of brothers, for he today That sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother. | William Shakespeare | ||
| 678e27c | All rivers run full to the sea; those who are apart are brought together; the lost ones are redeemed; the dead come back to life; the perfectly blue days that have begun and ended in golden dimness continue, immobile and accessible; and, when all is perceived in such a way as to obviate time, justice becomes apparent not as something that will be, but something that is. | Mark Helprin | ||
| f9c9bea | You only have one chance to make a first impression. | Stephanie Perkins | ||
| 65c335f | Dead Max was the biggest oxymoron in history. | James Patterson | ||

| dea36ca | What test?" Asked Nudge. "Max, you're incorruptible." "Only by power." I said. "You haven't tried chocolate yet." | James Patterson | ||
| ff2274f | The solitude of writing is a solitude without which writing could not be produced, or would crumble, drained bloodless by the search for something else to write. | Marguerite Duras | ||
| b0b604d | Think they work you too hard? Think of poor Ali Sard. He has to mow grass in his uncle's backyard and its quick growing grass and it grows as he mows it the faster he mows it the faster he grows it. And all that his stingy old uncle will pay for his shoving mower around the hay is piffulous pay of two dooklas a day. And Ali can't live on such piffulous pay! | Dr. Seuss | ||

| 77392ec | He was becoming unstuck, he was sure of that - his bones were no longer wrapped in flesh but in clouds of dust, in hummingbirds, dragonflies, and luminous moths - but so perfect was his equilibrium that he felt no fear. He was vast, he was many, he was dynamic, he was eternal. | life | Tom Robbins | |
| db9ad20 | Louisiana in September was like an obscene phone call from nature. The air--moist, sultry, secretive, and far from fresh--felt as if it were being exhaled into one's face. Sometimes it even sounded like heavy breathing. Honeysuckle, swamp flowers, magnolia, and the mystery smell of the river scented the atmosphere, amplifying the intrusion of organic sleaze. It was aphrodisiac and repressive, soft and violent at the same time. In New Orlean.. | decatur dixie-beer magnolias honeysuckle louisiana smell french-quarter new-orleans scent | Tom Robbins | |
| 363df13 | Dehumanizing and holding people accountable are mutually exclusive. Humiliation and dehumanizing are not accountability or social justice tools, they're emotional off-loading at best, emotional self-indulgence at worst. And if our faith asks us to find the face of God in everyone we meet, that should include the politicians, media, and strangers on Twitter with whom we most violently disagree. When we desecrate their divinity, we desecrate .. | Brené Brown | ||
| c178ab6 | Kill the pig. Cut her throat. Spill her blood. | William Golding | ||

| cff1047 | The Pentacle - The ancients envisioned their world in two halves - masculine and feminine. Their gods and goddesses worked to keep a balance of power. Yin and Yang.

| 37c7f99 | People never really died. They only went on to a better place, to wait a while for their loved ones to join them. And then once more they went back to the world, in the same way they had arrived the first time around. | V.C. Andrews | ||
| e7b53d0 | Sorrow fully accepted brings its own gifts. For there is alchemy in sorrow. It can be transmitted into wisdom, which, if it does not bring joy, can yet bring happiness. | Pearl S. Buck | ||

| 9b4ed6c | The shirt seemed heavy until he saw there was another shirt inside it, the sleeves carefully worked down inside Jack's sleeves. It was his own plaid shirt, lost, he'd thought, long ago in some damn laundry, his dirty shirt, the pocket ripped, buttons missing, stolen by Jack and hidden here inside Jack's own shirt, the pair like two skins, one inside the other, two in one. | Annie Proulx | ||

| 5106667 | If you dear little girls would only learn what real beauty is, and not pinch and starve and bleach yourselves out so, you'd save an immense deal of time and money and pain. A happy soul in a healthy body makes the best sort of beauty for man or woman. | Louisa May Alcott | ||

| eb1566f | And as Prince Ramil has insulted you by choosing another wife than the one you proposed for him, you'll want to cast him out too," she suggested slyly. "Oh, undoubtedly," murmed Ramil. "Do cast me out." | Julia Golding | ||
| ba3dc91 | If you want to teach your children that they are the tools of God, you had better not teach them that they are God's rifles, or we will have to stand firmly opposed to you: your doctrine has no glory, no special rights, no intrinsic and inalienable merit. If you insist on teaching your children false-hoods--that the Earth is flat, that "Man" is not a product of evolution by natural selection--then you must expect, at the very least, that th.. | religion science | Daniel C. Dennett | |
| eb6e322 | Live to discover, as long as discovery leads to a love that comes from the Creator... writing was the mirror to life. | Ted Dekker |
