| 4eac541 | I think that, with age, people come to realize that death is inevitable. And we need to learn to face it with serenity, wisdom and resignation. Death often frees us from a lot of senseless sufferings. | Paulo Coelho | ||

| 220c934 | The eyes are the mirror of the soul and reflect everything that seems to be hidden; and like a mirror, they also reflect the person looking into them. | Paulo Coelho | ||
| 5b836ac | You will die. You will not live forever. Nor will any man nor any thing. Nothing is immortal. But only to us is it given to know that we must die. And that is a great gift: the gift of selfhood. For we have only what we know we must lose, what we are willing to lose... That selfhood which is our torment, and our treasure, and our humanity, does not endure. It changes; it is gone, a wave on the sea. Would you have the sea grow still and the .. | death life | Ursula K. Le Guin | |
| 3cd3c9d | Please bring strange things. Please come bringing new things. Let very old things come into your hands. Let what you do not know come into your eyes. Let desert sand harden your feet.

Let there be deep snow in your inbreathing And your outbreath be the shining of ice. May your mouth contain the shapes of .. | Ursula K. Le Guin | ||
| 5906ac0 | Only in silence the word, only in dark the light, only in dying life: bright the hawk's flight on the empty sky. | Ursula K. Le Guin | ||
| 4d245c8 | Spell-Cleaver. That was his title. She surveyed him with her usual disdain. But Helion gave her the same bow he'd offered me--though his smile was edged with enough sensuality that even my heart raced a bit. No wonder the Lady of Autumn hadn't stood a chance. "I don't think we were introduced properly earlier," he crooned to Nesta. "I'm--" "I don't care," Nesta said with a snap of her wrist, striding right past him and up to my side. "I'd l.. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 832ef36 | Then it is a good thing, Yrene Towers, that I love you as well. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| b84a53e | What - what was I doing the whole time?" So much for Alis's warning. Lucien let out a sharp breath, running a hand through his red hair. "He had you dance for him for most of the night. And when you weren't dancing, you were sitting in his lap." "What kind of dancing?" I pushed. "Not the kind you were doing with Tamlin on Solstice," Lucien said, and my face heated. From the murkiness of my memories of last night, I recalled the closeness of.. | feyre lucien rhys rhysand the-dance | Sarah J. Maas | |
| 2e182ce | No fair maiden should die alone, | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 18a0373 | Arobynn only smiled at her, taller by a head. And when he reached out, she allowed him to brush his knuckles down her cheek.

| dd77708 | there was not enough time in life to waste on hatred. On feeling it and putting it into the world | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| aa022fb | It was agony and despair and fear. It was joy and laughter and rest. It was life, all of it... | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 8aaa356 | Life is just this way, broken, and I am crazy to hope for something else. | Miranda July | ||
| 8080eca | But in my heart I knew the old Bryce was toast. There was no going back. Not to Garrett or Shelly or Miranda or any of the other people who wouldn't understand. Juli was different, but after all these years that didn't bother me anymore. I liked it. I liked her. | flipped juli-baker | Wendelin Van Draanen | |

| 6390523 | I have said that the soul is not more than the body, | god self soul whitman | Walt Whitman | |
| e9f0848 | I'm saying a prayer. Maybe you ought to, too. It's going to take us a miracle to get through this." Whether he was serious or not, Claire sent the prayer up toward heaven, and she thought the others did, too. So it seemed kind of miraculous when the doorbell rang. "At least they're getting more polite when they try to kill us," Shane said." | Rachel Caine | ||

| 7c1d7eb | You are led through your lifetime by the inner learning creature, the playful spiritual being that is your real self.

You're always free to change your mind and choose a different future, or a different past. | Richard Bach | ||
| 41181a5 | Amazing. You were so attached to it, and it still disappeared for you." "Attached! I was whocking that cloud with everything I had! Fireballs, laser beams, vacuum cleaner a block high..." "Negative attachments, Richard. If you really want to remove a cloud from your life, you do not make a big production out of it, you just relax and remove it from your thinking. That's all there is to it." | Richard Bach | ||
| 352c8fb | Nora: "How do you feel?" Nick: "Terrible. I must've gone to bed sober." | Dashiell Hammett | ||
| 9b65ac5 | You need to be clever to best him. Are you clever, Rachel?" I glanced at Al, and he stared at me, then shrugged. Licking my lips, I said, "It's the shiny pot that puts a hole in the sky." Al's mouth dropped open, but Newt thought about it, her expression thoughtful and her fingers finally leaving her knife. "Very true," she said as she eased back into the cushions. With a soft click of his teeth, Al's mouth shut. His eyes were cross, and h.. | al clever demons insanity newt | Kim Harrison | |
| 749eb62 | excerpt] The usual I say. Essence. Spirit. Medicine. A taste. I say top shelf. Straight up. A shot. A sip. A nip. I say another round. I say brace yourself. Lift a few. Hoist a few. Work the elbow. Bottoms up. Belly up. Set 'em up. What'll it be. Name your poison. I say same again. I say all around. I say my good man. I say my drinking buddy. I say git that in ya. Then a quick one. Then a nightcap. Then throw one back. Then knock one down. .. | Nick Flynn | ||
| 534f5d1 | I was the embodiment of every writer's worst fear: a cliche. | Gillian Flynn | ||
| 79639c2 | It's a very female thing, isn't it, to take one boys' night and snowball it into a marital infidelity that will destroy our marriage? | Gillian Flynn | ||
| 420d206 | I know women whose entire personas are woven from a benign mediocrity. Their lives are a list of shortcomings: the unappreciative boyfriend, the extra ten pounds, the dismissive boss, the conniving sister, the straying husband. I've always hovered above their stories, nodding in sympathy and thinking how foolish they are, these women, to let these things happen, how undisciplined. And now to be one of them! One of the women with the endless.. | Gillian Flynn | ||

| 1f7725f | Autobiography, if there really is such a thing, is like asking a rabbit to tell us what he looks like hopping through the grasses of the field. How would he know? If we want to hear about the field on the other hand, no one is in a better circumstance to tell us-so long as we keep in mind that we are missing all those things the rabbit was in no position to observe. | Arthur Golden | ||
| 02706d5 | squats are a form of torture designed by people who don't need to do squats in the first place | squats | Nora Roberts | |
| 8b28fc4 | Love doesn't keep a score of wrongs. Love doesn't bring up past failures. None of us is perfect. In marriage we do not always do the right thing. We have sometimes done and said hurtful things to our spouses. We cannot erase the past. We can only confess it and agree that it was wrong. We can ask for forgiveness and try to act differently in the future. Having confessed my failure and asked forgiveness, I can do nothing more to mitigate the.. | Gary Chapman | ||
