| 57ad90d | But this is inaccurate. A runaway train is an accident. Me, I'll jump in front of the tracks. I'll even tie myself down in front of the speeding engine. There's some illogical part of me hat still believes if you want Superman to show up, first there's got to be someone worth saving. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| bb355de | For where all love is, the speaking is unnecessary. It is all. It is undying. And it is enough. | Diana Gabaldon | ||
| ddc6638 | Jaime, you must be half-dead" He laughed tiredly, holding me close with one large warm hand on the small of my back. "A lot more than half, Sassenach. I'm knackered, and my cock's the only thing too stupid to know it. I canna lie wi' ye without wanting you, but wanting's all I'm like to do." | jamie-fraser | Diana Gabaldon | |
| 1ed715b | She wouldn't say what we both knew. 'The reason you will not say it is, when you say it, even to yourself, you will know it is true: is that it? But you know it is true now. I can almost tell you the day when you knew it is true. Why won't you say it, even to yourself?' She will not say it. | William Faulkner | ||
| 8723729 | My, my. A body does get around. | William Faulkner | ||
| d9a37b5 | Music has power to create a universe or to destroy a civilization. | power-of-music | Katherine Neville | |
| 08f8165 | You deserved to get run over. And besides, I barely tapped you. The only reason you broke your leg was because you panicked and tripped over your own feet. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 19734a1 | I wonder if ever again Americans can have that experience of returning to a home place so intimately known, profoundly felt, deeply loved, and absolutely submitted to? It is not quite true that you can't go home again. I have done it, coming back here. But it gets less likely. We have had too many divorces, we have consumed too much transportation, we have lived too shallowly in too many places. | shallowness familiarity depth home intimacy | Wallace Stegner | |
| bfcb621 | None of us are going to deny what other people are doing. If saying bullshit is somebody's thing, then he says bullshit. If somebody is an ass-kicker, then that's what he's going to do on this trip, kick asses. He's going to do it right out front and nobody is going to have anything to get pissed off about. He can just say, 'I'm sorry I kicked you in the ass, but I'm not sorry I'm an ass-kicker. That's what I do, I kick people in the ass.' .. | Tom Wolfe | ||
| b37a266 | Science fiction is held in low regard as a branch of literature, and perhaps it deserves this critical contempt. But if we view it as a kind of sociology of the future, rather than as literature, science fiction has immense value as a mind-stretching force for the creation of the habit of anticipation. Our children should be studying Arthur C. Clarke, William Tenn, Robert Heinlein, Ray Bradbury and Robert Sheckley, not because these writers.. | Alvin Toffler | ||
| eda14d8 | But the Beast was a good person...the Prince looked on the outside the way the Beast was on the inside. Sometimes people couldn't see the inside of the person unless they like the outside of a person. Because they hadn't learned to hear the music yet. | music love | Karen Kingsbury | |
| 85b2223 | The places where water comes together with other water. Those places stand out in my mind like holy places. | Raymond Carver | ||
| 332946e | If only I knew what I wanted I could try to see about getting it. | Sylvia Plath | ||
| 1c7fee4 | I thought it sounded just like the sort of drug a man would invent. Here was a woman in terrible pain, obviously feeling every bit of it or she wouldn't groan like that, and she would go straight home and start another baby, because the drug would make her forget how bad the pain had been, when all the time, in some secret part of her, that long, blind, doorless and windowless corridor or pain was waiting to open up and shut her in again. | Sylvia Plath | ||
| 6952dd8 | Childhood is bound like the Gordian knot with my memories of the Black Sea, and I still feel its waters welling up within me today. Sometimes these waters are leaden, as grey as the military ships that sail on their curved expanses, and sometimes they are blue as pigmented cobalt. Then would come dusk, when I would sit and watch the seabirds waver to shore, flitting from open waters to the quiet empty vastlands in darkening spaces behind me.. | argonauts black-sea golden-fleece gordian-knot ovid prometheus greek-mythology jason | Paul Christensen | |
| 55b309e | It feels good, honey, but it isn't love. | Joyce Carol Oates | ||
| 0612e10 | Through thick and thin, we're brothers to the bitter end. And if you're going to hell, buddy, I'm driving the bus. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 7c1dc5f | Oh, by the way, is this your armor? (Grace) It is, or was. (Julian) Can we keep it? (Grace) If you like. Why? (Julian) 'Cause, ooo baby, you are one hot tamale in that getup. This outfit alone will get you laid at least four or five times a day. (Grace) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 94af231 | There will never be peace between us. Ever. You shattered any hope of it when you watched your brother kill me and refused to speak up on my behalf. (Acheron) I was afraid. (Artemis) And I was butchered and gutted on the floor like an animal sacrifice. Excuse me if I don't feel your pain. I'm too busy with my own. (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| fc6a8ae | It's a yes then? (Arik) No. I thought I'd walk through hell to reclaim you and carry your baby just for the heck of it. Who needs marriage. (Geary) I do! (Arik) Good. I can let you live another day. (Geary) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| f865860 | They won't get you without getting us and believe me, we're not about to make our enemies happy and die here. (Nykyrian) Damn straight. We have too many people to continue pissing off. (Syn) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 550c01b | What are you doing here? (Artemis) I wanted to thank you for what you did tonight, but as I considered that, it dawned on me that you have never once in eleven thousand years done anything for me for free. The sheer fear factor of that realization alone has made me come seeking you. So what gives? (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| ca16deb | Alright, macho babe boy, I'm not some little ditz to bat my eyelashes at the buff stud in black leather. Don't try your he-man tactics with me. I'll have you know, in my office, I'm known as the ball-breaker. (Amanda) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 556adb9 | life isn't a puzzle to be solved. It's an adventure to be savored. Let every challenge be a new mountain to climb, not an obstacle to get in your way and stop you. Yeah, it'll be hard, but once you reach the summit of it, you'll be able to see the world for what it really is. And at the top, it never seems to have been as difficult a feat to climb there as you first made it out to be. Most of all, you'll know that you beat that mountain, an.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| d59eef6 | How could sincerity be a condition of friendship? A liking for the truth at all costs is a passion that spares nothing and that nothing can withstand. | Albert Camus | ||
| bc152f8 | All I maintain is that on this earth there are pestilences and there are victims, and it's up to us, so far as possible, not to join forces with the pestilences. | Albert Camus | ||
| 8e70994 | An Outside Context Problem was the sort of thing most civilisations encountered just once, and which they tended to encounter rather in the same way a sentence encountered a full stop. | Iain M. Banks | ||
| 6bc344f | My name is Jared Howe. I haven't spoken to another human being in more than two years, so I'm sure I must seem...a little crazy to you. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 1600259 | She looked around herself, disoriented, like she'd forgotten we were at lunch. Like she'd forgotten we were even at school-surprised that we were not alone in some private place. I understood that feeling exactly. It was hard to remember the rest of the world when I was with her. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| ce348ee | You stupid jackass," Ian said. "Who's got the crush on a worm, bro? You gonna call me stupid?" | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| 27aae22 | He was my best friend. I would always love him, and it would never, ever be enough. | Stephenie Meyer | ||
| c0eb3e6 | In the photograph by my bed my mother is perpetually smiling on me. I guess I have forgiven us both, although sometimes in the night my dreams will take me back to the sadness, and I have to wake up and forgive us again. | Sue Monk Kidd | ||
| f5e3de8 | I do not know if it has ever been noted before that one of the main characteristics of life is discreteness. Unless a film of flesh envelopes us, we die. Man exists only insofar as he is separated from his surroundings. The cranium is a space-traveler's helmet. Stay inside or you perish. Death is divestment, death is communion. It may be wonderful to mix with the landscape, but to do so is the end of the tender ego. | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| cbe041d | There are two kinds of visual memory: one when you skillfully recreate an image in the laboratory of your mind, with your eyes open (and then I see Annabel in such general terms as: "honey-colored skin," "thin arms," "brown bobbed hair," "long lashes," "big bright mouth"); and the other when you instantly evoke, with shut eyes, on the dark innerside of your eyelids, the objective, absolutely optical replica of a beloved face, a little ghost.. | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| c0725ac | The spiral is a spiritualized circle. In the spiral form, the circle, uncoiled, has ceased to be vicious; it has been set free. | Vladimir Nabokov | ||
| c4f692b | Never test another man by your own weakness. | weaknesses weakness test | Joseph Conrad | |
| 8c25f97 | If,' Roland said. 'An old teacher of mine used to call it the only word a thousand letters long. | roland-deschains wolves-of-the-calla stephen-king | Stephen King | |
| 5b6fd47 | Homesickness is not always a vague, nostalgic, almost beautiful emotion, although that is somehow the way we always seem to picture it in our mind. It can be a terribly keen blade, not just a sickness in metaphor but in fact as well. It can change the way one looks at the world; the faces one sees in street look not just indeferent but ugly...perhaps even malignant. Homesickness is real sickness--the ache of the uprooted plant" the breathin.. | nostalgic sickness | Stephen King | |
| c1bd03b | A good novelist does not lead his characters, he follows them. A good novelist does not create events, he watches them happen and then writes down what he sees. | Stephen King | ||
| 2aeedce | Your hair is winter fire, January embers. | love-quotes love ben-hanscom stephen-king it hair haiku fire | Stephen King | |
| 6bd37d6 | Friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of regard. | Stephen King | ||
| 2302a46 | Another part of getting older: you forgot what you wanted to remember, and remembered what you wanted to forget. | Stephen King | ||
| 03c67cf | It was the kiss by which all the others of his life would be judged and found wanting. | Stephen King | ||
| f6fcf4e | Life is a crap carnival with shit prizes. | Stephen King |
