| 79cb4c7 | Boy, did he depress me! I don't mean he was a bad guy- he wasn't. But you don't have to be bad guy to depress somebody- you can be a good guy and do it. | J.D. Salinger | ||
| 2d2fc22 | We're freaks, that's all. Those two bastards got us nice and early and made us into freaks with freakish standards, that's all. We're the tattooed lady, and we're never going to have a minute's peace, the rest of our lives, until everybody else is tattooed, too. | freaks | J.D. Salinger | |
| 0f9232f | You'd better get busy, though, buddy. The goddamn sands run out on you every time you turn around. I know what I'm talking about. You're lucky if you get time to sneeze in this goddamn phenomenal world. {...} I used to worry about that. I don't worry about it very much any more. At least I'm still in love with Yorick's skull. At least I always have time enough to stay in love with Yorick's skull. I want an honorable goddamn skull when I'm d.. | J.D. Salinger | ||

| e74ae60 | I don't mind pointing out some of the failings of old age, because we are all headed in that direction, unless of course we take our own lives before we become a burden. I'm not advocating suicide, oh wait, I guess I am. | life suicide | Amy Sedaris | |
| 61203f7 | Let me say no more. Words do no justice to the hidden meaning. Everything immediately becomes slightly different when it is expressed in words, a little bit distorted, a little foolish...It is perfectly fine with me that what for one man is precious wisdom for another sounds like foolery. | spiritual truth wisdom | Hermann Hesse | |

| 86f8a79 | Tamlin let out a low snarl of approval, and I bit my bottom lip as he removed his pants, along with his undergarments, revealing the proud, thick length of him. My mouth went dry, and I dragged my gaze up his muscled torso, over the panes of his chest, and then-- "Come here," he growled, so roughly the words were barely discernable. I pushed back the blankets, revealing my already naked body, and he hissed." | erotic-romance erotica erotica-bdsm love new-adult new-adult-romance pornographic sexy sexy-romance smut | Sarah J.

| ff688b9 | But as they rode out of Rifthold, that city that had been her home and her hell and her salvation, as she memorized each street and building and face and shop, each smell and the coolness of the river breeze, she didn't see one slave. Didn't hear one whip. And as they passed by the domed Royal Theater, there was music - beautiful, exquisite music - playing within. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 8d19854 | Dar te intreb eu acum: de ce totul trebuie trait? De ce totul trebuie consumat? N-ajunge ca sintem siliti sa mincam? Trebuie sa ne mincam si sufletele? Unde scrie asta? Adica cum, nu putem pastra in sufletul nostru si lucruri netraite? Trebuie neaparat sa inghitim tot ce e pe lume? De ce? Ca sa avem pe urma ce varsa in mormintul in care o sa fim bagati? E o veche intrebare a mea la care ramin..Am iubit o fata! Nu-mi ajunge? De ce trebuie al.. | Marin Preda | ||
| 7f04cf3 | A child said What is the grass? fetching it to me with full hands; How could I answer the child? I do not know what it is any more than he. I guess it must be the flag of my disposition, out of hopeful green stuff woven. Or I guess it is the handkerchief of the Lord, A scented gift and remembrancer designedly dropt, Bearing the owner's name someway in the corners, that we may see and remark, and say Whose? Or I guess the grass is i.. | grass graves life | Walt Whitman | |

| 0b9d44a | Don't!" Lillian yelled, and put up her arms when Shane pulled back the bat. "Hell," Shane spat in disgust. "I can't hit a girl. Here, Claire. You hit her." He tossed her the bat. Claire grabbed it and came to a clumsy batting stance, wishing she'd paid more attention in phys ed. Lillian screamed again and ran into the open doorway of Eve's room. Eve, coming up the stairs, screamed, too, for different reasons. "Hey! That's my room, bitch!" A.. | Rachel Caine | ||
| 2b1969f | He held up one finger. "I thought it wasn't loaded" Shane said. Second finger. "Hand me a match so I can check the gas tank." Third finger. "Killed over ice cream.

| 3e685a3 | She stared up at me, and there was something in her eyes, something that said we finally had an understanding. She was afraid of me, and sometimes that's the best you can do with people.

| d4fd3d0 | sometimes we ask ourselves why happiness took so long to arrive, why it didn't come sooner, but appears suddenly, as now, when we've given up hope of it ever arriving, it's likely then that we won't know what to do, and rather than it being a question of choosing between laughter and tears, we will be filled by a secret anxiety to which we might not know how to respond at all. | José Saramago | ||

| aebe737 | Choose a love and work to make it true, and somehow, something will happen, something you couldn't plan, will come along to move like to like, to set you loose, to set you on the way to your next brick wall. | Richard Bach | ||
| e40a290 | Why, Jon, why?" his mother asked. "Why is it so hard to be like the rest of the flock, Jon? Why can't you leave low flying to the pelicans, the alhatross? Why don't you eat?

| e2ce6fd | The rag he'd used to clean the table went into the fire behind him. "I saw what you are," he said, "and I was ashamed. I saw what you expect from a person, and I'd call you a bitch except you demand it from yourself as well. I saw how you see me," he explained.

| 9606d3f | There I go being critical again. Does a man have to stand on one foot and juggle for me to consider him entertaining? What am I looking for? A knight?...No, knights are all polished and shiny. I think my taste runs to something with a bit of tarnish and maybe a few scratches. Someone who can make me laugh and cry and make me angry and make my knees tremble when he touches me. | Nora Roberts | ||
