Ralston looked down his long, elegant nose at the vile creature at his feet, and said, "You just impugned the honor of my future marchioness. Choose your seconds. I will see you at dawn." Leaving Oxford sputtering on the ground, Ralston spun on one elegant heel to face Benedick. "When I am done with him, I am coming for your sister. And, if you intend to keep me from her, you had better have an army at your side. - Sarah Maclean I swear to God I will never set eyes on him again. I bind my honour to you that I am done with him in this world. It is all at an end. And indeed he does not want my help; you do not know him as I do; he is safe, he is quite safe; mark my words, he will never more be heard of. - Robert Louis Stevenson

When I first met him, he had a recurrent nightmare that Henry Kissinger was chasing him with a knife, and I said it was really his father, and he said it was really Henry Kissinger, and I said it was his father and he said it was Henry Kissinger, and this went on for months until he started going to the Central American shrinkette, who said Henry Kissinger was really his younger sister. - Nora Ephron A long time ago he believed that he was above the men chasing him; capitulating to their secret desires and dark fears was what he did to survive, nothing more and nothing less. But now he understood that all that reasoning was nothing more than a self-assessing loop which he had used as a survival mechanism. It had run constantly but never actually went anywhere; like a rat on a flywheel, all action, no forward motion. - Brandon Shire Hiro watches the large, radioactive, spear-throwing killer drug lord ride his motorcycle into Chinatown. Which is the same as riding it into China, as fa...

You can't have him, okay," she said from behind the wire barrier. "Mm-hmm," I whispered. "This is certainly a beautiful neighborhood." "Yeah, I guess." "I will scratch those eyes out of your ugly head. - Darynda Jones He's a cousin of some friends of the Lightwoods or something. He's nice. I promise." "Nice, bah. He's gorgeous." Magnus gazed dreamily in his direction. "You should leave him here. I could hang hats on him and things." "No. You can't have him." "Why not? Do you like him?" Magnus's eyes gleamed. "He seems to like you. I saw him going for your hand out there like a squirrel diving for a peanut. - Cassandra Clare Excuse me," she said politely. "But you can't have him. Not yet. He's going to come back with me. - Tamora Pierce Maybe it's because I can't have him that I feel safe wanting him. He's beyond my reach, so he won't h...

The moment that I realized that I wanted to be a better man for him and that because of him I was a better man than I was before I met him, that was when I realized that I loved him. No flaw that he had, no quirk could ever make me stop loving him and he knows that, so he's free to be himself and he's free to love me and because he loves me I'm free to be myself, knowing that no flaw that I have and no quirk could ever make him stop loving me. - Vicktor Alexander No man is hindered by another; he is only hindered by himself. No man suffers because of another; he suffers only because of himself. - James Allen Amanda made an ironic and surprising discovery - her marriage to Jack had given her far more freedom than she had enjoyed as a single woman. Because of him, she now had the money and influence to do as she wished...and most important, she had a husband who encouraged her to do exactly as she pleased. - Lisa Kleypas She felt the shiver starting in the back of her spi...

Don't be with him, don't want him, don't go with him. Be with me. Want me. Stay with me. I don't know how to be without you. - Cassandra Clare I love you; I love you and I don't care that you're my sister; don't be with him, don't want him, don't go with him. Be with me. Want me. Stay with me. I don't know how to be without you. - Cassandra Clare He clung to her more tightly, knotting his hands in her hair, trying to tell her, with the press of his mouth on hers, all the things he could never say out loud: I love you; I love you and I don't care that you're my sister; don't be with him, don't want him, don't go with him. Be with me. Want me. Stay with me. I don't know how to be without you. - Cassandra Clare Really, it's amazing. You are his other half, Alexandria, You are fated to be with him. You belong to him." It felt like something sat heavy on my chest. "Oh. Oh .No." Seth frowned at me. "Yo...

I adore him," she said. "I feel compassion for him because he's totally fucked up. - Candace Bushnell Physical attraction that strong is addictive. And knowing that kind of magic isn't just a fantasy makes me want to find it again. But what about being with someone who makes me a better person? What about sharing my life with someone who adores me as much as I adore him, whom I can always count on, who helps me find my way when I'm lost? - Susane Colasanti And yet I adore him. I think he's quite crazy, and with no place or occupation in life, and far from happy, and philosophically irresponsible and there is absolutely nobody like him. - Vladimir Nabokov William Shatner has one style. We have completely contrasting personalities. We're very good friends. I adore him, but we're very different people, so they were smart enough to write characters that reflected that. - Patrick Stewart

Man is a marvelous curiosity ... he thinks he is the Creator's pet ... he even believes the Creator loves him; has a passion for him; sits up nights to admire him; yes and watch over him and keep him out of trouble. He prays to him and thinks He listens. Isn't it a quaint idea? - Mark Twain It was dreadful the way all the three were looking at him, just as if they did not admire him. - James M Barrie However big the fool, there is always a bigger fool to admire him. - Nicolas Boileaudespreaux She did not admire him any more than she had. It was merely that she considered him the Lesser of two evils. - Edgar Rice Burroghs I love Sherlock Holmes. I've got all his books, leather-bound. What I thought was great about Sherlock Holmes was that not only was he a supersleuth, he was also a hard worker. Not only did he go out and solve the crimes, he came home and wrote it all down. Fantastic. That's why I admire him. - Steve Coogan It was impossible not to admire him, not...

so then I didn't care no more about him, because I don't take no stock in dead people. - Mark Twain And when he awoke in the morning and looked upon the wretchedness about him, his dream had had its usual effect: it had intensified the sordidness of his surroundings a thousandfold. - Mark Twain After supper she got out her book and learned me about Moses and the Bulrushers; and I was in a sweat to find out all about him; but by-and-by she let it out that Moses had been dead a considerable long time; so then I didn't care no more about him; because I don't take no stock in dead people. - Mark Twain Never let a boy know you're crazy about him. He'll lose interest, and then you'll be a loser. - Molly Packer's Rules to Getting Any Guy You Want - Hailey Abbott But that doesn't stop me from moving about him like a junior high girl lingering by the lifeguard station - Marc Acito They found out about him in July and stayed angry all through August. The...

If Marilyn is in love with my husband it proves she has good taste, for I am in love with him too. - Simone Signoret Payne looked back through the glass at the human on the bed. Yes. I am in love with him. And if you try to dissuade me by the fact that I have not lived yet enough to judge, I say unto you...fuck off. - J R Ward
