| 756fe0a | You are freakishly tall, aren't you? (Tory) For a woman wanting my help you are ever determined to insult me. Should I make this as painless as possible and leave now before the die-painfully-you-asshole-prick stuff starts again? (Acheron) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| ffb8c75 | I apologize for Pam. I accidentally hit her in the head with a baseball when we were in fifth grade and knocked her out cold. She's never been right since. (Tory) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| bd6a2e8 | Nerd boy? Where he? (Biff) 'Okay... sad that they couldn't even form a complete sentence. See what happens when you abuse steroids? Dudes should have read the warning label. First the penis shrinks, then the sentence structure deteriorates. Next thing you know, you're climbing to the top of the Empire State Building, swatting at planes with your over-sized fists.' (Nick) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 59f26cc | Can you just saw his arm off while we're here and get me loose? (Amanda) I could do that, but he needs his more. I'd cut yours off before I did his. (Tate) Oh, great, what are you, his Igor? (Amanda) Wrong movie, Igor was Frankenstein's flunky. Renfield is the one you're thinking of, and no, I'm not Renfield. Name's Tate Bennett. Parish coroner. (Tate) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 23e7157 | I live to tear demons apart. Bring the bastards on. (Sin) Agreed...bring on the rain. The one thing I learned from Astrid is that life isn't about finding shelter in a storm. It's about learning to dance in the rain. I don't care what I kill as long as I get bloody while doing it. (Zarek) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| 4e124e9 | Everyone has a choice. (Kiara) No, princess, they don't. Choices aren't always up to us. Life and circumstances can shred even the stoutest soul. No matter how pure and untainted you think you are, I promise you that you, too, can be shoved into the darkness, just like we were. (Syn) | Sherrilyn Kenyon | ||
| cad0a67 | The smallest decisions made had such profound repercussions. One ten-minute wait could save a life... Or end it... One wrong turn down the right street or one seemingly unimportant conversation, and everything was changed. It wasn't right that each lifetime was defined, ruined, ended, and made by such seemingly innocuous details. A major life-threatening event should come with a flashing warning sign that either said ABANDON ALL HOPE or SAF.. | life | Sherrilyn Kenyon | |
| 3a59a25 | I take it, sir, that you do not approve of our new society." "Approval, sir, in my opinion, demands the attainment of perfection.

| 196984d | The moment you first called me a prick, my fate was sealed. O, fathers of my bloodline! O, ye kings of olde! Take this crown from me, bury me in my ancestral soil. If only you had known the mighty work of thine loins would be undone by a gay heir who likes it when American boys with chin dimples are mean to him. | Casey McQuiston | ||
| 2189266 | What happens if you drop all the things that make you I? | Graham Greene | ||
| 37ef081 | You know what I think? Fate! That's what it is fate! There's a thing that comes after a fellow:got a name,but I forgot what it is. Creeps up behind him, and puts him in the basket when he ain't expecting it. | ferdy | Georgette Heyer | |
| 50fe3d9 | We are the local embodiment of a Cosmos grown to self-awareness. We have begun to contemplate our origins: starstuff pondering the stars; organized assemblages of ten billion billion billion atoms considering the evolution of atoms; tracing the long journey by which, here at least, consciousness arose. Our loyalties are to the species and the planet. speak for Earth. Our obligation to survive is owed not just to ourselves but also to that.. | Carl Sagan | ||
| df8aa79 | If we long to believe that the stars rise and set for us, that we are the reason there is a Universe, does science do us a disservice in deflating our conceits? | Carl Sagan | ||

| 65e20ce | Should I, after tea and cakes and ices, Have the strength to force the moment to its crisis? But though I have wept and fasted, wept and prayed, Though I have seen my head (grown slightly bald) brought in upon a platter, I am no prophet--and here's no great matter; I have seen the moment of my greatness flicker, I have seen the eternal Footman hold my coat, and snicker, And in short, I was afraid. | T.S. Eliot | ||

| 6dcf39a | bad things, like good things don't happen any more often than they ought to by chance. the universe has no mind, no feelings, and no personality, so it doesn't do things in order to either hurt or please you. bad things happen because things happen. | Richard Dawkins | ||

| 8c70b04 | A black shadow dropped down into the circle. It was Bagheera the Black Panther, inky black all over, but with the panther markings showing up in certain lights like the pattern of watered silk. Everybody knew Bagheera, and nobody cared to cross his path, for he was as cunning as Tabaqui, as bold as the wild buffalo, and as reckless as the wounded elephant. But he had a voice as soft as wild honey dripping from a tree, and a skin softer than.. | character descriptive | Rudyard Kipling | |
| 885d6a0 | I asked the question for the best reason possible, for the only reason, indeed, that excuses anyone for asking any question - simple curiosity. | the-picture-of-dorian-gray | Oscar Wilde | |
| 3112687 | There are few of us who have not sometimes wakened before dawn, either after one of those dreamless nights that make one almost enamoured of death, or one of those nights of horror and misshapen joy, when through the chambers of the brain sweep phantoms more terrible than reality itself, and instinct with that vivid life that lurks in all grotesques, and that lends to Gothic art its enduring vitality, this art being, one might fancy, especi.. | Oscar Wilde | ||

| 88efb65 | But beauty, real beauty, ends where an intellectual expression begins. Intellect is in itself a mode of exaggeration, and destroys the harmony of any face. The moment one sits down to think, one becomes all nose, or all forehead, or something horrid. Look at the successful men in any of the learned professions. How perfectly hideous they are! Except, of course, in the Church. But then in the Church they don't think. | humorous | Oscar Wilde | |
| ed70ffe | When God creates Eve, he calls her an ezer kenegdo. 'It is not good for the man to be alone, I shall make him [an ezer kenegdo]' (Gen. 2:18 Alter). Hebrew scholar Robert Alter, who has spent years translating the book of Genesis, says that this phrase is 'notoriously difficult to translate.' The various attempts we have in English are "helper" or "companion" or the notorious "help meet." Why are these translations so incredibly wimpy, borin.. | Stasi Eldredge | ||
| bec1e60 | All life includes loss. It's taken me many, many years to learn to deal with that, and I don't expect I'll ever be fully resigned to it. But that doesn't mean we have to turn away from the world, or stop striving for the best that we can do and be. We owe that much to ourselves, at least, and we deserve whatever measure of good may come of it. | Ken Grimwood | ||

| 7c088ae | If a writer of prose knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows and the reader, if the writer is writing truly enough, will have a feeling of those things as strongly as though the writer had stated them. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one-eighth of it being above water | Ernest Hemingway | ||

| b179166 | After shoving his former clothes inside, Xcor found himself bowing at the waist. "Your assistance has been much appreciated."

"That shan't be necessary. This one I like." | humor xcor | J.R. Ward |
