It's hard to explain," said Brutha. "But I think it's got something to do with how people should behave... you should do things because they're right. Not because gods say so. They might say something different another time. Terry Prachett
I want nothing more than to climb between the silk sheets and wrap our nude bodies around one another. I want to hold and be held. Sex is a wondrous thing, but tonight I wish to be comforted more than pleasured. I feel like a child in the dark who knows the monsters are under the bed. I want to be told it will be alright, but I am far too old to believe such comforting lies."- Jean-Claude Laurell K. Hamilton
You don't need to be told some things. You can sometimes tell more by a man's silence and the set of his head than by what he says. Wendell Berry
Stuck in my own trap of writing about a nonsubject, I think I can defend my own self-respect, and also the integrity of a lost girl, by saying two things. First, the trivial doings of Paris Hilton are of no importance to me, or anyone else, and I should not be forced to contemplate them. Second, she should be left alone to lead such a life as has been left to her. If this seems paradoxical, then very well. Christopher Hitchens

Question everything, Pol. That's what education's all about. David Eddings
It seems that most of us could benefit from a brush with a near-fatal disaster to help us recognise the important things that we are too defeated or embittered to recognise from day to day. Alain de Botton
Two or three things I know for sure, and one of them is the way you can both hate and love something you are not sure you understand. Dorothy Allison
SENSE OF SOMETHING COMING: I am like a flag in the center of open space. I sense ahead the wind which is coming, and must liveit through. while the things of the world still do not move: the doors still close softly, and the chimneys are fullof silence, the windows do not rattle yet, and the dust still lies down. I already know the storm, and I am troubled as the sea. I leap out, and fall back, and throw myself out, and am absolutely alonein the great storm. Rainer Maria Rilke
J. K. Rowling quote: "Everything went pitch-black and the next thing I knew, I was..."
Everything went pitch-black and the next thing I knew, I was being hurled headfirst out of the room? J. K. Rowling
