| 9097715 | I'll try to communicate, Taylor said. She spoke slowly and deliberately. Hello! We need help. Is your village close? My village is Denver. And I think it's a long way from here. I'm Nicole Ade. Miss Colorado. We have a Colorado where we're from too! Tiara said. She swiveled her hips, spread her arms wide, then brought her hands together prayer-style and bowed. Kipa aloha.

| ca38112 | That's how a scary story works. It echoes some ancient fear. It re-creates some forgotten terror. Something we'd like to think we've grown beyond. But it can still scare us to tears. It's something you'd hoped was healed. | Chuck Palahniuk | ||
| 759e68e | I think it's the same with all the relationships between a man and a woman. They can survive anything so long as some kind of basic humanity exists between the two people. When all kindness has gone, when one person obviously and sincerely doesn't care if the other is alive or dead, then it's just no good. -- from Quantum of Solace | relationships quantum-of-solace | Ian Fleming | |
| e07a868 | Now we'd known each other for two years, the side of my calf was touching his shins, and his stomach was against my ribs. He said, "I don't think it's end of world to be my girlfriend." I opened my mouth, but nothing came out. It took seven languages to make me; it would be nice if I could have spoken just one." | Nicole Krauss | ||
| 7eb8eb6 | Australians are very unfair in this way. They spend half of any conversation insisting that the country's dangers are vastly overrated and that there's nothing to worry about, and the other half telling you how six months ago their Uncle Bob was driving to Mudgee when a tiger snake slid out from under the dashboard and bit him on the groin, but that it's okay now because he's off the life support machine and they've discovered he can commun.. | Bill Bryson | ||

| 251d6b5 | I kissed him hard. The few people in the bar must have been thinking that all they were seeing was just a kiss.

The moment of that kiss contained every happy moment I had ever lived. | kissing true-love happiness love true-path waiting | Paulo Coelho | |
| fd710ef | Those who are truly enlightened, those whose souls are illuminated by love, have been able to overcome all of the inhibitions and preconceptions of their era. They have been able to sing, to laugh, and to pray out loud; they have danced and shared what Saint Paul called 'the madness of saintliness'. They have been joyful - because those who love conquer the world and have no fear of loss. True love is an act of total surrender. | madness true-love fear saintliness surrender | Paulo Coelho | |

| e1b363b | Despite her apparent freedom, her life consisted of endless hours spent waiting for a miracle, for true love, for an adventure with the same romantic ending she had seen in films and read about in books.

| 366a853 | You have to help another person. But it's not right to play God with masses of people. To be God you have to know what you're doing. And to do any good at all, just believing you're right and your motives are good isn't enough. | Ursula K. Le Guin | ||
| cb097a4 | The Earth is beautiful, and bright, and kindly, but that is not all. The Earth is also terrible, and dark, and cruel. The rabbit shrieks dying in the green meadows. The mountains clench their great hands full of hidden fire. There are sharks in the sea, and there is cruelty in men's eyes. | nature life evil | Ursula K. Le Guin | |
| e32ad8e | As the memory of that day echoed through her, she remembered the words Sam kept screaming at Arobynn, as the King of the Assassins beat her, the words that she'd somehow forgotten in the fog of pain: I'll kill you!

I'm just as capable of looking after myself as you are!" "Believe me, Celaena, I know you can lo.. | Sarah J. Maas | ||
| fb87e28 | He lifted a brow. "Is it that hard for you to even try in front of me?" "You're a High Lord - don't you have better things to do?" "Of course. But none as enjoyable as seeing you squirm."
