| e427afd | He had no conscious knowledge of death, but like every animal of the Wild, he possessed the instinct of death. To him it stood as the greatest of hurts. It was the very essence of the unknown; it was the sum of the terrors of the unknown, the one culminating and unthinkable catastrophe that could happen to him, about which he knew nothing and about which he feared everything. | Jack London | ||
| 6b1b580 | The ghostly winter silence had given way to the great spring murmur of awakening life. | Jack London | ||

| a892fa3 | Many have marked the speed with which Muad'Dib learned the necessities of Arrakis. The Bene Gesserit, of course, know the basis of this speed. For the others, we can say that Muad'Dib learned rapidly because his first training was in how to learn. And the first lesson of all was the basic trust that he could learn. It is shocking to find how many people do not believe they can learn, and how many more believe learning to be difficult. Muad'.. | Frank Herbert | ||

| c2feb15 | The very good people did not convince me; I felt they'd never been tempted. But you knew; you understood; you felt the world outside tugging at one with all its golden hands - and you hated the things it asked of one; you hated happiness bought by disloyalty and cruelty and indifference. That was what I'd never known before - and it's better than anything I've known. | responsibility temptation | Edith Wharton | |
| f982394 | The Somebody Else's Problem field is much simpler and more effective, and what's more can be run for over a hundred years on a single torch battery.

| 8b1e68b | The Resurrection was the greatest 'eucatastrophe' possible in the greatest Fairy Story -- and produces that essential emotion: Christian joy which produces tears because it is qualitatively so like sorrow, because it comes from those places where Joy and Sorrow are at one, reconciled, as selfishness and altruism are lost in Love. | J.R.R. Tolkien | ||

| aa32472 | Why are you talking to the King Loser Dork? You want to talk about ugly? Look at what he's wearing. (Stone) I like a man who takes fashion chances.

(Nekoda) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
