| 10aa8b4 | For the sake of one soul. For one loved one. For one life." I called power into my blasting rod, and its tip glowed incandescent white. "The way I see it, there's nothing else worth fighting a war for." | love the-dresden-files | Jim Butcher | |
| 5fe2c7f | Just remember that you're on my list, Marcone. Soon as I get done with all the other evils in this town, you won't be the lesser of them anymore." Marcone stared at me with half-lidded eyes and said, "Eek." | humor johnnie-marcone sarcasm | Jim Butcher | |
| ccfa080 | They were in love with him because he was a prince and a faerie and magical and you were supposed to love princes and faeries and magic people. They loved him the way they'd loved Beast the first time he swept Belle around the dance floor in her yellow dress. They loved him as they loved the Eleventh Doctor with his bow tie and his flippy hair and the Tenth Doctor with his mad laugh. They loved him as they loved lead singers of bands and ac.. | david-tennant eleventh-doctor matt-smith tenth-doctor doctor-who | Holly Black | |

| 144781a | The same old dumb teachers teaching the same old dumb subjects in the same old dumb school. I seem to be kind of losing interest in everything. At first I thought high school would be fun but it's just dull. Everything's dull. Maybe it's because I'm growing up and life is becoming more blase. | Beatrice Sparks | ||
| aeee01f | Because I'm not, in fact, depressed, Prozac makes me manic and numb - one of the reasons I slice my arm in the first place is that I'm coked to the gills on something utterly wrong for what I have. | marya-hornbacher mental-illness | Marya Hornbacher | |

| 948121d | We are all insects. Groping towards something terrible or divine. | truth | Philip K. Dick | |
| 3be4399 | The pain, so unexpected and undeserved, had for some reason cleared away the cobwebs. I realized I didn't hate the cabinet door, I hated my life... My house, my family, my backyard, my power mower. Nothing would ever change; nothing new could ever be expected. It had to end, and it did. Now in the dark world where I dwell, ugly things, and surprising things, and sometimes little wondrous things, spill out in me constantly, and I can count o.. | Philip K. Dick | ||

I am a ghost wanting what every ghost wants-a body-after the Long Time moving through odorless alleys of space where no life is, only the colorless no smell of death...Nobody can breath and smell it through pink convolutions of gristle laced with crystal snot, time shit and black blood filters of flesh. | William S. Burroughs | ||
| 0c8f63a | So many things were testing his faith. There was the Bible, of course, but the Bible was a book, and so were Bleak House, Treasure Island, Ethan Frome and The Last of the Mohicans. Did it then seem probable, as he had once overheard Dunbar ask, that the answers to riddles of creation would be supplied by people too ignorant to understand the mechanics of rainfall? Had Almighty God, in all His infinite wisdom, really been afraid that men six.. | joseph-heller yossarian catch-22 god new-testament | Joseph Heller | |
| 658fa71 | He will apologize, or I'll give him a lesson in swordplay he will not like at all. | perlith tor | Robin McKinley | |
| 37f312b | It seems to me further, that it is very odd that fate should leave so careful a trail, and spend so little time preparing the one that must follow it. | Robin McKinley | ||
| 81096f4 | When I left Queen's my future seemed to stretch out before me like a straight road. I thought I could see along it for many a milestone. Now there is a bend in it. I don't know what lies around the bend, but I am going to believe that the best does. It has a fascination of its own, that bend, Marilla. I wonder how the road beyond it goes - what there is of green glory and soft, checkered light and shadows - what new landscapes - what new be.. | inspiration resolution | L.M. Montgomery | |
| 22e5a68 | This earthly life is a battle,' said Ma. 'If it isn't one thing to contend with, it's another. It always has been so, and it always will be. The sooner you make up your mind to that, the better off you are, and more thankful for your pleasures. | Laura Ingalls Wilder | ||
| 359c5f5 | It must be cool, having a twin, though." "Ah, not sure if cool is the right word." He flashed a grin. "But we're not twins." Out in the crowded hallway, Bethany frowned. "You're not? Could've fooled me and the world." His laugh was husky, deep, and really nice to hear. "We're triplets." Her eyes popped wide. "Holy crap, there're three of you?" "We have a sister." He walked close to her, so their shoulders bumped every few steps. She found t.. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||
| e89e743 | Oh. Yeah, um..." I was pretty sure I matched a fire truck. "He's a heavy sleeper." "I'm sure he is." Dominic stepped back. "If you wish to join your uncle, I'll be waiting outside. You should have time to get ready. Your uncle is a...heavy sleeper, also." Whaaaa...and then it hit me. Ew. Ew. Ew." | heavy-sleepers alex dominic marcus | Jennifer L. Armentrout | |

| d0c56ca | No one else. It was me who had to carry myself over the finish line, and all I needed to remember when I felt like not trying was that that feeling wouldn't last forever. Forever. I used to believe it didn't exist. One word has terrified me as a child and it haunted me. But now I knew, and many small ways, but it was real, But it didn't scare me anymore. Forever wasn't a little girl cowering in the closet. Forever wasn't the shadows sitt.. | Jennifer L. Armentrout | ||

| f9dec61 | You might not think a hippo could inspire terror. Screaming "Hippo!" doesn't have the same impact as screaming "Shark!" But I'm telling you--as the Egyptian Queen careened to one side, its paddle wheel lifting completely out of the water, and I saw that monster emerge from the deep, I nearly discovered the hieroglyphs for accident in my pants." | terror | Rick Riordan | |
| 3d9b056 | Nico had once read a story from Plato, who claimed that in the ancient times, all humans had been a combination of male and female. Each person had two heads, four arms, four legs. Supposedly, these combo-humans had been so powerful they made the gods uneasy, so Zeus split them in half--man and woman. Ever since, humans had felt incomplete. They spent their lives searching for their other halves. | Rick Riordan | ||

Luke died in war. Hermes and Annabeth blamed each other. Confused? Wel.. | Rick Riordan | ||
| a633619 | Back up," I said. "What did Sam mean by again? You've lost your hammer before?" "Once," Thor said. "Okay, twice. Three times if you count this time, which you shouldn't, because I am not admitting that the hammer is missing." "Right..." I said. "So how did you lose it?" "I don't know!" Thor started to pace again, his long red hair sparking and popping. "It was just like...Poof! I tried retracing my steps. I tried the Find My Hammer app, but.. | Rick Riordan | ||
| 8f82b5f | Sadie," he said forlornly, "when you become a parent, you may understand this. One of my hardest jobs as a father, one of my greatest duties, was to realize that my own dreams, my own goals and wishes, are secondary to my children's." | self-sacrifice parenting father | Rick Riordan | |
