Most bad guys don't ask you to be romantic on command, so that probably won't matter. - Rachel Caine To read as if your life depended on it would mean to let into your reading your beliefs, the swirl of your dreamlife, the physical sensations of your ordinary carnal life; and simultaneously, to allow what you're reading to pierce routines, safe and impermeable, in which ordinary carnal life is tracked, charted, channeled. Then, what of the right answers, the so-called multiple-choice examination sheet with the number 2 pencil to mark one choice and one choice only? - Adrienne Rich You must write, and read, as if your life depended on it. - Adrienne Rich To write as if your life depended on it; to write across the chalkboard, putting up there in publ...

Arden, Matt discovered, was a force to be reckoned with. She had a flair for fighting with two curved knives, about the length of daggers. She whirled around like a flailing tornado, blocking and striking with fury. --The Fire Stone - Riley Carney Working with Danny Thomas was truly an adventure every week. Danny didn't always say the words as they appeared in the script. I learned more by osmosis than by sitting down together. He was a force to be reckoned with: an explorer of television. - Angela Cartwright I want to be able to talk about changing the world through your actions and being a generation that is aware and a force to be reckoned with - and at the same time be dancing. - Taylor Hanson They've said I'm gay, they've said everyone is gay.

He is a force to be reckoned with. - ...

I don't care what people think. people are stupid. - Charles Barkley I don't care what people think or say about me, I know who I am. - Jonathan Davis I also care that the public are getting their 12 dollars worth when they go to a movie, and that they're not coming out not wanting to ever see a movie with me in it again.

In this world, you get what you pay for. - Kurt Vonnegut In this world, you get what you pay for. - Kurt Vonnegut I took it for granted that there must be a few men left in the world who had that kind of strength. I assumed that those men would also be looking for women with principle. I did not want to be among the marked-down goods on the bargain table, cheap because they'd been pawed over. Crowds collect there. It is only the few who will pay full price. You get what you pay for. - Elisabeth Elliot You can't get more for less.

It felt good to have a plan. - Adam Baker They sat for several hours over a pot of tea and a plate of cake, and then they wandered the streets, impervious to time. By the end of the day, both realised that their lives had altered course. - Penelope Lively Look at the average American diet: ice cream, butter, cheese, whole milk, all this fat. People don't realize how much of this stuff you get by the end of the day.

It is after all my rainbow and if I don't do it no one else will...Survival is the secret so you really can't afford to doubt yourself for long because you are all you've got.

Exceed. - Diane Arbus There is no pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. - Karen Black It was the pot of weapon at the end of the rainbow. - Lia Habel Love is the very essence of life. It is the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. Yet it is more than the end of the rainbow. Love is the security for which children weep, the yearning of youth, the adhesive that binds marriage, and the lubricant that p...

It is better to be alone than unwelcome. - Eve - Mark Twain Associate yourself with people of good quality, for it is better to be alone than in bad company. - Booker T Washington It is better to be alone, she figures, than to be with someone who can't see who you are.

That Bunny Rabbit is dead. - E Lockhart It is better to be alone than in bad company. - George Washington Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company. - George Washington

When I look in the mirror, I just see me - and, I'm pretty used to me. - Melanie Griffith When I look in the mirror, I see not only the person I am, but the person I could be.

I've hidden these words in the lining of my coat. I take them out like a jewel thief when no-one's watching. They haven't faded. Nothing about you has faded. You are still the colour of my blood. You are my blood. When I look in the mirror it's not my own face I see. Your body is twice. Once you onc...

My father used to say that life is what you make it. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. You can't change the past, but the future isn't set in stone. You can effect a change there. Move forward not with hatred or love. Move forward with purpose. (Simone) - Sherrilyn Kenyon This life is what you make it. Not matter what, you're going to mess up sometimes, it's a universal truth.

I was willing to die for you. I'm sure as hell not going to pass up a chance to live with you. - Tara Janzen I believe in love ...

Sweden is the home of my ancestors, and I have reserved a special place in my heart for Sweden. - Carl D Anderson For a long time, she held a special place in my heart.

Have faith in yourself; trust in the significance of your life and the purpose of your pa...

Never forget that if there weren't any need for you in all your uniqueness to be on this earth, you wouldn't be here in the first place.

In fact, it is always because of one person that all the changes that matter in the world come about. So be that one person. - Richard Buckminster Fuller For years he'd strived to make a difference in the world, and he'd worked like a dog to make that happen, and yet here he was, a man sitting on a dock with his children, and never had he felt more certain that his words mattered. - Kristin Hannah I've learned what it trul...

I met an old lady once, almost a hundred years old, and she told me, 'There are only two questions that human beings have ever fought over, all through history. How much do you love me? And Who's in charge? - Elizabeth Gilbert There are only two questions that human beings have ever fought over, all through history: How much do you love me? and Who's in charge? Everything else is somehow manageable. But these two questions of love and control undo us all, trip us up and cause war, grief and suffering. - Elizabeth Gilbert How much do you love me?' and "Who's in charge?"....these two questions of LOVE and CONTROL undo us ALL, trip us up and cause war, grief, and suffering.

Collectively as a species, this is our emot...

a) he's late. b) he's acting like an asshole and blowing me off. c)he's gotten into a horrible car crash that's left dead. The most likely answer is A.

He- read: his parents- paid for it, but still.) - Lauren Barnholdt Cheese and crackers? Really?" She looks at me skeptically. "Besides, he's not a gigolo, you prude! He's an escort. Big difference."

Accept the things I cannot change," I said. "And pray for the courage to change the things I can, as well as the wisdom to know the difference." The thing is... I know this is good advice.

You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, a child, or a parent. - Barbara Bush And that's how things are. A day is like a whole life.

Your whole life has the same shape as a single day. - Michael Crichton haven't you figured out yet that happy is a momentary emotion?

But who can remember pain, once it's over? All that remains of it is a shadow, not in the mind even, in the flesh. Pain marks you, but too deep to see. Out of sight, out of mind. - Margaret Atwood Getting over someone is a grieving process. You mourn the loss of the relationship, and that's only expedited by 'Out of sight, out of mind.'

I realized what is wrong with us. Men fall in love for the first time. And what do they fall in love with? ...They fall in love with a woman. They start at the wrong end of love.

A cloud. - Carson Mccullers Dustfinger still clearly remembered the feeling of being in love for the first time. How vulnerable his heart ...

I am old, Gandalf. I don't look it, but I am beginning to feel it in my heart of hearts. Well-preserved indeed!
