| 6f9d4e6 | That is the eternal folly of man. To be chasing after the sweet flesh, without realizing that it is simply a pretty cover for the bones. | soul | Neil Gaiman | |
| 77944fa | Spiders' webs only have to be large enough to catch flies. | Neil Gaiman | ||
| 0518d34 | If you want to call it that. But it is a very specific sort of magic. There's a magic you take from death. Something leaves the world, something else comes into it. | magic | Neil Gaiman | |
| 033e11e | I shall always be a flower girl to Professor Higgins, because he always treats me as a flower girl, and always will; but I know I can be a lady to you, because you always treat me as a lady, and always will. | respect | George Bernard Shaw | |
| aa037a0 | You must understand the following: In order to master a field, you must love the subject and feel a profound connection to it. Your interest must transcend the field itself and border on the religious. | Robert Greene | ||
| c646545 | If you hold back on the emotions - if you don't allow yourself to go all the way through them - you can never get to being detached, you're too busy being afraid. You're afraid of the pain, you're afraid of the grief. You're afraid of the vulnerability that loving entails. But by throwing yourself into these emotions, by allowing yourself to dive in, all the way, over your head even, you experience them fully and completely. You know what p.. | Mitch Albom | ||

| d08668e | We breathe in our first language, and swim in our second. | Adam Gopnik | ||
| 69866f9 | Too perfect to be sexually attractive. | William S. Burroughs | ||
| 29fe066 | A choir of seedlings arching their necks out of rotted tree stumps, sucking life out of death. I am the forest's conscience, but remember, the forest eats itself and lives forever. | Barbara Kingsolver | ||
| c99161f | I know how people are, with their habits of mind. Most will sail through from cradle to grave with a conscience clean as snow...I know people. Most have no earthly notion of the price of a snow-white conscience. | Barbara Kingsolver | ||
| 3dd6f71 | Often I feel I go to some distant region of the world to be reminded of who I really am. There is no mystery about why this should be so. Stripped of your ordinary surroundings, your friends, your daily routines, your refrigerator full of your food, your closet full of your clothes -- with all this taken away, you are forced into direct experience. Such direct experience inevitably makes you aware of who it is that is having the experience... | Michael Crichton | ||
| 433a212 | Do you want to understand how to swim, or do you want to jump in and start swimming? Only people who are afraid of the water want to understand it. Other people jump in and get wet. | Michael Crichton | ||
| 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. | love music | 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 greek-mythology jason ovid prometheus | Paul Christensen | |
| ab5fe5d | How many psychiatrists does it take to screw in a lightbulb?" "I don't know. How many?" "Eight." "Why?" "Oh, stop overanalyzing it." | Dennis Lehane | ||
| 56601ec | Lately, though, he'd just been tired in general. Tired of people. Tired of books and TV and the nightly news and songs on the radio he'd heard years before and hadn't liked much in the first place. He was tired of his clothes and tired of his hair and tired of other people's clothes and other people's hair. He was tired of wishing things made sense. He'd gotten to a point where he was pretty sure he'd heard everything anyone had to say on a.. | Dennis Lehane | ||
| 298e5a3 | It's the truth. I'm sorry to be blunt about it, but girls don't like guys who are doormats. Especially pretty girls, because there's no novelty in it. Guys are hitting on them all of the time. They can't walk down the street or order a coffee or stand on a corner without some idiot making a comment about how attractive they are. And the women smile because it's easier than telling them to go fuck themselves. And less dangerous, because if a.. | Karin Slaughter | ||
| c781ba6 | I am the drying meadow; you the unspoken apology; he is the fluctuating distance between mother and son; she is the first gesture that creates a quiet that is full enough to make the baby sleep. My genes, my love, are rubber bands and rope; make yourself a structure you can live inside. Amen. | Aimee Bender | ||

| 108682e | Sometimes friends do go from us-it will happen more and more as you grow up, Chugg. But if you really love your friends, they're never really gone. Somewhere they're watching over you and they're always there inside your heart. -Martin | friendship inspirational love redwall | Brian Jacques | |
| 216b6ff | And that heart which was a wild garden was given to him who only loved trim lawns. And the imbecile carried the princess into slavery. | Antoine de Saint-Exupéry | ||
| c05404b | Pure logic is the ruin of the spirit. | Antoine de Saint-Exupéry | ||
| d35fcbd | No destiny attacks us from outside. But, within him, man bears his fate and there comes a moment when he knows himself vulnerable; and then, as in a vertigo, blunder upon blunder lures him. | destiny doom fate | Antoine de Saint-Exupéry | |
| 78b1782 | He sat down. I sat down next to him. And after a silence, he spoke again. 'The stars are beautiful because of a flower you don't see...' I answered, 'Yes, of course. | Antoine de Saint-Exupéry | ||
| 4354135 | I will regret being with you, Syd. Never. And I wish I could go back and relive those hours. I wish I could go back in time, and instead of hooking up with some chick, I'd man up and tell you how I really felt for you, how I've felt for you. | j-lynn jennifer-l-armentrout | Jennifer L.

My voice was as shrill as the ringing tardy bell "I personally don't believe it" he went on blithely, "and I have a Porsche.
