Livia's eyes filled with grateful tears. Blake brushed them away. "Now you cry? After I've made love to you?" "It's just that you're the kindest person in the world. And you're here with me. I'll never stop feeling lucky." She burrowed her face into his warm hug. She felt his kiss on her hair. "Livia, the luck belongs to me," he whispered. "The kindness belongs to you. One lifetime will never be enough for us. - Debra Anastasia I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. - Maya Angelou Service is a smile. It is an acknowledging wave, a reaching handshake, a friendly wink, and a warm hug. It's these simple acts that matter most, because the greatest service to a human soul has always been the kindness of recognition. - Richelle E Goodrich

I see your young man has accompanied you today." Bea accepted Livia's hug with a gentle pat. "He has. I'm so glad he gets to meet you." Livia held Bea's soft, delicate hand. "I've noticed he always has his body angled toward yours," Bea reported seriously. "It's a good sign, my dear. I do believe you've found yourself a winner." She smiled. - Debra Anastasia Now, I don't believe in doing hugs halfway. I can't stand people who try to hug without touching. A hug should be a full embrace - as I wrap my arms around Tony, I am not just holding him, but also trying to lift off his troubles for a moment so that the only thing he can feel is my presence, my support. - David Levithan Ivy wanted to do something for me, and if she couldn't give me a hug without her blood lust tainting it, then by God I would let her put that gunk under my eye. - Kim Harrison I was nothing more than a thug with Tolstoy in my pocket. - David...

Aphrodite," [Annabeth] said. "Venus?" Hazel asked in amazement. "Mom," Piper said with no enthusiasm. "Girls!" The goddess spread her arms like she wanted a group hug. The three demigods did not oblige. Hazel backed into a palmetto tree. - Rick Riordan Just because everybody else is engaged in a group hug with Barack Obama doesn't mean that somebody doesn't have to tell the truth. - Joe Scarborough

No one else would dare interrupt Blake's playing, but Beckett scooped him into a bear hug and pounded him on the back. "Look at fucking you! Playing this fucking multi-tiered nightmare!" Beckett waved his hands over the complicated organ. Blake laughed as Beckett set him back on the seat and pointed a thick finger at the organ. "You ass-fuck this bitch. Ass-fuck it." Beckett peeked over the balcony at Cole below. "Sorry, baby. I have too much dirty in me. - Debra Anastasia (She grabbed him for a bear hug.) Stop sexually harassing me, Mom. (Nick) - Sherrilyn Kenyon It is never ridicule, but a compliment, that knocks a philosopher off his feet. He is already positioned for every possible counter-attack, counter-argument, and retort...only to find a big bear hug coming his way. - Criss Jami Hey Bil-!' Just then my air choked off- Jacob grabbed me up in a bear hug too tight to breathe and swung me around in a circle. 'Wow, it's good to see you he...

People desire power. I don't know why they want it so. It seems to me it implies a hugely superior intellect which separates them from most of the populace. - F Murray Abraham I don't know French at all. I took some lessons when I was younger but all I know are the numbers. I've been told basically everyone in Monaco speaks English because of it being a huge vacation spot so I'm excited about that. I might not need to learn French after all. - Freddy Adu I have a huge respect for writers and realise that this is not an area that I find easy. I doubt that I would have the patience in front of a blank sheet of paper to become a writer. - Jenny Agutter We have a long way to go to being the perfect couple, we certainly don't live the fairy tale marriage, he doesn't shower me with rose petals and fly me to Paris on weekends but when I get my hair cut, he notices. When I dress up to go out at night, he compliments me. When I cry, he wipes my tears. When I feel lon...
