Accidental sex. He made it sound like I fell down, and there just happened to be an erection in the way. Laurell K. Hamilton
Yes.’ He drank it all down and then casually threw the glass at the fireplace. I stared at the fragments. ‘You don’t mind, do you?’ He gestured to the broken glass with a sarcastic smile. ‘I surely hope you don’t, because there’s nothing much you can do about it if you do mind. Anne Rice
The notion of sitting down and conjuring up, not only words in which to clothe thoughts but thoughts worthy of being clothed--the whole thing was absurdly beyond his desires. F. Scott Fitzgerald
Sometimes I feel that life has passed me by... Do you ever feel that way, Charlie Brown?"I feel that it has knocked me down and walked all over me! Charles M. Schulz
Colonies are the outhouses of the European soul, where a fellow can let his pants down and relax, enjoy the smell of his own shit. Thomas Pynchon
O Sleep, O Gentle Sleep, Natures Soft Nurse, How Have I Frightend Thee, That Thou No More Wilt Weigh my Eye-Lids Down And Steep My Senses In Forgetfulness? William Shakespeare
I sat down and tried to rest. I could not; though I had been on foot all day, I could not now repose an instant; I was too much excited.
