| 9cca118 | If he didn't walk away when I voiced what I wanted: him. Not the High Lord, not the most powerful male in Pyrthian's history. Just....him. The person who had sent music into that cell; who had picked up that knife in Amarantha's throne room to fight for me when no one else dared, and who had kept fighting for me every day since, refusing to let me crumble and disappear into nothing. | Sarah J. Maas | ||

| 4af5da0 | Every step. Every curve into darkness. Every moment of despair and rage and pain. It had led him to precisely where he needed to be. Where he wanted to be. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| c9b87e1 | My mate--who had worked so hard and so selflessly, all without hope that I would ever be with him. We had both fought for that love, bled for it. Rhys had died for it. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| 3b1c220 | Aelin ran for Manon, leaping over the fallen stones, her ankle wrenching on loose debris. The island rocked with her every step, and the sunlight was scalding, as if Mala were holding that island aloft with every last bit of strength the goddess could summon in this land. Then Aelin was upon Manon Blackbeak, and the witch lifted hate-filled eyes to her. Aelin hauled off stone after stone from her body, the island beneath them buckling. "You.. | manon-blackbeak | Sarah J. Maas | |
| 94b8888 | I shut him out. Maybe I'd send a water-dog barking after him later--let it bite him in the ass. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| cc52152 | We were excited about getting jobs; we hardly went anywhere without filling out an application. But once we were hired - as furniture sanders - we could not believe this was really what people did all day. Everything we had thought of as The World was actually the result of someone's job. Each line on the sidewalk, each saltine. Everyone had a rotting carpet and a door to pay for. Aghast, we quit. There had to be a more dignified way to liv.. | Miranda July | ||
| 99c5458 | Don't you do that." She turned away from the mirror, toward him. "Don't you dare make a joke. It took a great deal of courage to say what I did. And you don't have to speak a word in return, but I will insist you be man enough to take it. I won't have you making light of my feelings, or making light of yourself--as if you're not worthy of them. Because you are worthy, Colin. You're a generous, good-hearted person, and you deserve to be love.. | Tessa Dare | ||
| 99bfaba | Did that remind anybody else of something?" "Yes," Eve said, tapping her lower lip with a bloodred fingernail. "How much I need to shave her head while she's sleeping." | Rachel Caine | ||
| 78689c6 | will you be so kind as to provide me with a few places where I might look for a murderer?" "The mirror's a great place to start" | myrnin | Rachel Caine | |
| 79489b7 | I'm faster than the rest of you, if .. Because I'm a vampire," Michael said, and it was some kind of breakthrough for him to say that. "If you get in trouble, I'll be there." "Nice," Shane said. "I'm warming up to this bloodsucking thing, Mikey." "No, you're not." "Okay, no, I'm not, but right now let's pretend I am." | eve-rosser funny ghost-town humor michael-glass morganville-vampires myrnin rachel-caine shane-collins vampire vampires | Rachel Caine | |
| 85cdab9 | Well, friend, I don't know about your tastes, but I tend to like it very bloody," Myrnin said. He shifted position, dragging Claire along like a rag doll without any effort at all. "Have we been introduced?" "Probably not. Why, are you asking me out, sweetheart?" "You're not my type, darling. Is this one yours?" "No," Frank said, and looked at Shane, just in a quick flicker. "Let's say she's a friend of the family." | eve-rosser funny ghost-town humor michael-glass morganville-vampires myrnin rachel-caine shane-collins vampire vampires | Rachel Caine | |

| 120af0e | For me, childhood roaming was what developed self-reliance, a sense of direction and adventure, imagination, a will to explore, to be able to get a little lost and then figure out the way back. | Rebecca Solnit | ||
| 85ab63d | If I could believe in myself, why not give other improbabilities the benefit of the doubt? I accepted the idea that an omniscient God had cast me in his own image and that he watched over me and guided me from one place to the next. The virgin birth, the resurrection, and the countless miracles -my heart expanded to encompass all the wonders and possibilities of the universe. A bell, though, that's fucked up. | David Sedaris | ||
| 7960aff | I find it ridiculous to assign a gender to an inanimate object incapable of disrobing and making an occasional fool of itself. | language words | David Sedaris | |

| f0859b6 | Who hit you?" "Why, so you can go beat him up?" "One of the fringe benefits of being my human servant is my protection." "I don't need your protection, Jean-Claude." "He hurt you." "And I shoved a gun into his groin and made him tell me everything he knew," I said." | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| 060e5a7 | Then stop trying to throw logic at nightmares. Sometimes the monsters are real, Anita. Sometimes they're real and the only way to defeat them is to be the bigger monster. ~Bibiana to Anita | nightmares | Laurell K. Hamilton | |
| 7cf30c1 | Just another day in my life. This was one of those days when I thought that maybe a new life, a different life, wouldn't be so bad. But where the hell had I put the receipt, and could you return something that was over twenty years old? Where do you go to get a new life when your old one has you so puzzled you don't know how to fix it? Wish I knew. | Laurell K. Hamilton | ||
| 753a57a | Recently , crowds of thousands gathered throughout the Muslim world - burning European embassies, issuing threats, taking hostages, even killing people - in protest over twelve cartoons depicting the Prophet Muhammad that were first published in a Danish newspaper. When was the last atheist riot? | Sam Harris | ||
| 6b31ffb | Religious moderation is the direct result of taking scripture less and less seriously. So why not take it less seriously still? Why not admit the the Bible is merely a collection of imperfect books written by highly fallible human beings. | Sam Harris | ||

| c3dc350 | I do so like all-encompassing words. Verb, adjective, noun. Yes, you are shitted. | Kim Harrison | ||
| d0bc065 | I call to mind flatness and dampness; and then all is madness - the madness of a memory which busies itself among forbidden things. | Edgar Allan Poe | ||
| 7df4551 | I'm not someone who can be depended one five days a week. Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday? I don't even get out of bed five days in a row-I often don't remember to eat five days in a row. Reporting to a workplace, where I should need to stay for eight hours-eight big hours outside my home- was unfeasible. | Gillian Flynn | ||
| 1cc68eb | Every book is an image of solitude. It is a tangible object that one can pick up, put down, open, and close, and its words represent many months if not many years, of one man's solitude, so that with each word one reads in a book one might say to himself that he is confronting a particle of that solitude | Paul Auster | ||

| 8db1ecc | Man cannot survive except through his mind. He comes on earth unarmed. His brain is his only weapon. The mind is an attribute of the individual. The basic need of the creator is independence. The reasoning mind cannot work under any form of compulsion. It cannot be curbed, sacrificed or subordinated to any consideration whatsoever. It demands total independence in function and in motive. To a creator, all relations with men are secondary. N.. | Ayn Rand | ||

| 52a06a6 | Why no. I'm too conceited. If you want to call it that. I don't make comparisons. I never think of myself in relation to anyone else. I just refuse to measure myself as part of anything. I'm an utter egotist. | Ayn Rand |
