| 5a28f8a | Sooner or later all mankind will realize that the greatest cure for all the ills and wrongs, the cares, the sorrow and crimes of humanity rests solely in acts of love.

| 0fc2106 | Because my patient just sat herself up--and I'm not talking about her raising her torso off the damn pillows. I wasn't there when she did it and I need to see how it happened."

"I'll pass on that--I so don't need you on your knees in front of me with only a towel on." "Which makes two of us." "Wait, are you.. | manny | J.R. Ward | |

To mount the skies it is not necessary to have the most powerful of .. | time seed social proust genius talent intellect | Marcel Proust | |

What was her - green eyes, half a smirk, the soft curves of her legs - would soon be nothing, just the bones I never saw. I thought about the slow process of becoming bone and then fossil and then coal that will, in millions of years, be mined by humans of the future, and how they would heat their ho.. | John Green | ||

The unmistakable stigma of humanity touches all those impersonal and beautiful things that only youth ever grasps in their imperso.. | F. Scott Fitzgerald | ||

When I do get home again, you'll certainly have a most awful time ever moving me one inch from you. | Zelda Fitzgerald | ||
| 29452c6 | What's this?" "An apology, of sorts." I made a moue, but slipped the lid from the top . . . and then my breath left me.

I just thought to myself that in the palm of my hand, there was this one tape that had all these memories and feelings and great joy and sadness. Right there in the palm of my hand.
