| ba240ea | think about it: Romeo and Juliet bucked the system, and look where it got them. Superman has the hots for Lois Lane, when the better match, of course, would be with Wonder Woman. | romeo-and-juliet superman | Jodi Picoult | |
| a8971df | I think there are two different oceans - the one that plays with you in the summer, and the one that gets so mad in the winter. | two-faced-people | Jodi Picoult | |
| 7f47bc1 | I tell you this as a cautionary tale: beware of getting what you want. It's bound to disappoint you. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| cbd22f8 | The hardest thing in the world is believing someone can change. It's always easier to go along with the way things are than to admit that you might have been wrong in the first place. | Jodi Picoult | ||
| eaf3909 | Love's a tidal wave," she says. "Because it sweeps you off your feet?" I ask. "No. Because it sucks you under and you drown." "But sometimes," I point out, "it's the only thing that keeps you afloat." | Jodi Picoult | ||
| e42075f | Take off your shirt," I said, sitting up and pulling at the hem of the garment. "Why?" he asked, but sat up and obliged. I knelt in front of him, admiring his naked body. "Because I want to look at you," I said. He was beautifully made, with long, graceful bones and flat muscles that flowed smoothly from the curves of chest and shoulder to the slight concavities of belly and thigh. He raised his eyebrows. "Well then, fair's fair. Take off y.. | jamie-fraser | Diana Gabaldon | |

| 9907946 | War is an episode, a crisis, a fever the purpose of which is to rid the body of fever. So the purpose of a war is to end the war. | William Faulkner | ||
| 9d03714 | Mr Willy Wonka can make marshmallows that taste of violets, and rich caramels that change colour every ten seconds as you suck them, and little feathery sweets that melt away deliciously the moment you put them between your lips. He can make chewing-gum that never loses its taste, and sugar balloons that you can blow up to enormous sizes before you pop them with a pin and gobble them up. And, by a most secret method, he can make lovely blue.. | Roald Dahl | ||

| 6e1c779 | If desire causes suffering, it may be because we do not desire wisely, or that we are inexpert at obtaining what we desire. Instead of hiding our heads in a prayer cloth and building walls against temptation, why not get better at fulfilling desire? Salvation is for the feeble, that's what I think. I don't want salvation, I want life, all of life, the miserable as well as the superb. If the gods would tax ecstasy, then I shall pay; however,.. | desire prayer religion repression salvation suffering | Tom Robbins | |
| d8c7aa5 | There is lovemaking that is bad for a person, just as there is eating that is bad. That boysenberry cream pie from the Thrift-E Mart may appear inviting, may, in fact, cause all nine hundred taste buds to carol from the tongue, but in the end, the sugars, the additives, the empty calories clog arteries, disrupt cells, generate fat, and rot teeth. Even potentially nourishing foods can be improperly prepared. There are wrong combinations and .. | sex | Tom Robbins | |
| 686a4d5 | You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them. --Maya Angelou | Brené Brown | ||
| 314ca21 | Satire is a sort of glass wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own; which is the chief reason for that kind reception it meets with in the world, and that so very few are offended with it. | Jonathan Swift | ||
| 3f8511c | If he'd learned one thing while he'd been away, it was that loneliness is the most taboo subject in the world. Forget sex or politics or religion. Or even failure. Loneliness is what clears out a room. | Douglas Coupland | ||
| cdd92dc | I would like to fall in love again but my only hope is that love doesn't happen to me so often after this. I don't want to get so used to falling in love that i get curious to experience something more extreme - whatever that may be. | Douglas Coupland | ||
| edd54b7 | How skillful to tax the middle class to pay for the relief of the poor, building resentment on top of humiliation! How adroit to bus poor black youngsters into poor white neighborhoods, in a violent exchange of impoverished schools, while the schools of the rich remain untouched and the wealth of the nation, doled out carefully where children need free milk, is drained for billion-dollar aircraft carriers. How ingenious to meet the demands .. | oppresion politics | Howard Zinn | |
| 15130b6 | As we approach the crucial battleground, believe that our blades will not shatter. Believe that our resolve will not weaken. Though our paths may diverge, our iron hearts remain together. Swear, that though the land itself may break asunder...We will ! ~Renji Abarai | Tite Kubo | ||

| ec616cf | R]eligion was the race's first (and worst) attempt to make sense of reality. It was the best the species could do at a time when we had no concept of physics, chemistry, biology or medicine. We did not know that we lived on a round planet, let alone that the said planet was in orbit in a minor and obscure solar system, which was also on the edge of an unimaginably vast cosmos that was exploding away from its original source of energy. We di.. | religion | Christopher Hitchens | |

| 6a60034 | I have a flamthrower. (Zarek) You have a what? (Astrid) It pays to be prepared. (Zarek) Well. Those are nice for toasting marshmallows, but they'll only make Thanatos mad. Regular fire won't hurt him. I have this really neat gelatinous goo that comes out with my fire and it squirts my victims so that it don't come off. Wanna see it? (Simi) No! (Zarek/Astrid) No? I don't like that word. (Simi) We love you, Simi. We're just scared of your goo.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 026a3a7 | Nick's right, you are psychotic. (Talon) The correct term is sociopathic and yes, I am. But at least I have no delusions about myself. (Zarek) Meaning? (Talon) Take your meaning wherever you can find it. (Zarek) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| fbd5d08 | Not that I've ever feared a fight or backed down from one -(Wren) That's the truth. I swear he's half beta fish. He'd fight his own reflection to prove a point. (Maggie) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 68ef741 | Why do all men have to suck? I knew you all sucked and still I stupidly fell in love with one of you. Why? Why would I be such a masochist? You pour your heart out to a man and what does he do? 'Could you change the channel, babe?' You're all pathetically cold. You don't care about anyone but yourselves! (Kat) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 65f0078 | So what name would you rather I call you? she asked as she headed out of the parking lot. Ias or Alexion. He gave her a devilish grin that set fire to her hormones. I would rather you call me lover. He wagged his eyebrows playfully at her. Danger rolled her eyes. Like all men with a onetrack mind, he was incorrigible. Don't blame me, Alexion said in an almost offended tone. I can't help it. You should see the way you fight. It really turn.. | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| bfbb2af | As for the age of electronics, Selena, I really don't want to get personal with something that comes with a warning label and batteries. (Grace) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| eeef205 | I still wanna know who to sue to get my store fixed. (Bubba) I'm a turnip. Sue the rich kid who started it. (Nick) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| be265f8 | Come away with me, Astrid. (Zarek) Why should I? (Astrid) Because I love you, and even if I'm lying on the sun itself I'll be freezing there without you. I need my star so that I can hear laughter. (Zarek) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| d64c9ee | There is no escape if love is not there," Hannah had said. Had Hannah known when she herself had not even suspected? It was not escape that she had dreamed about, it was love." | Elizabeth George Speare | ||
| 469d405 | This good fellowship - camaraderie - usually occurring through the similarity of pursuits is unfortunately seldom super-added to love between the sexes, because men and women associate, not in their labors but in their pleasures merely. Where, however, happy circumstances permit its development, the compounded feeling proves itself to be the only love which is strong as death - that love which many waters cannot quench, nor the floods drown.. | feelings love marriage passion | Thomas Hardy | |

| ca3c1f0 | Aquella noche Mijail me conto que el creia que la vida nos concede a cada uno de nosotros unos escasos momentos de pura felicidad. A veces son solo dias o semanas. A veces, anos. Todo depende de nuestra fortuna. El recuerdo de esos momentos nos acompana para siempre y se transforma en un pais de la memoria al que tratamos de regresar durante el resto de nuestra vida sin consegurilo. | Carlos Ruiz Zafón | ||
| 8a41783 | Don't be more serious than God. God invented dog farts. God designed your body's plumbing system. God designed an ostrich. If He didn't do it, He permitted a drunken angel to do it. Empirical facts can add significantly to the meaning of "being godlike"." | god god-is-a-comedian theology | Peter Kreeft | |
| aaba299 | The name that no human research can discover-- But THE CAT HIMSELF KNOWS, and will never confess. When you notice a cat in profound meditation, The reason, I tell you, is always the same: His mind is engaged in a rapt contemplation Of the thought, of the thought, of the thought of his name: His ineffable effable Effanineffable Deep and inscrutable singular Name. | T.S.

| e8f4cb5 | I had a terrible temper, after all, and though it rarely erupted, when it did it frightened me and anyone near its epicenter. It was the only crack, but a disturbing one, in the otherwise vacuum-sealed casing of my behavior. | temperament | Kay Redfield Jamison | |
