“My dear girl, you must be told that it isn't your friendship or your kindness Freckles wants; it is your love.”
The Angel looked straight into the great surgeon's eyes with her clear, steady orbs of blue, and then into McLean's with unwavering frankness. “Well, I do love him,” she said simply. McLean's arms dropped helplessly. “You don't understand,” he reiterated patiently. “It isn't the love of a friend, or a comrade, or a sister, that Freckles wants from you; it is the love of a sweetheart. And if to save the life he has offered for you, you are thinking of being generous and impulsive enough to sacrifice your future—in the absence of your father, it will become my plain duty, as the protector in whose hands he has placed you, to prevent such rashness. The very words you speak, and the manner in which you say them, prove that you are a mere child, and have not dreamed what love is.” Then the Angel grew splendid. A rosy flush swept the pallor of fear from her face. Her big eyes widened a ...more Gene Stratton-Porter |

“They hugged, hard. It was shocking to hold him. The truth of him was right there beneath Ronan's hands, and it still seemed impossible. He smelled like the leather of the thrift store jacket and the woodsmoke he'd ridden through to get here. Things had been the same for so long, and now everything was different, and it was harder to keep up than Ronan had thought.
Adam said, "Happy birthday, by the way." "My birthday's tomorrow." "I have a presentation I can't miss tomorrow. I can stay for"--Adam pulled away to check his dreamt watch--"three hours. Sorry I didn't get you a present." The idea of Adam Parrish on a motorcycle was more than enough birthday present for Ronan; he was senselessly turned on. He couldn't think of anything else to say, so he said, "What the fuck." Normally this was his job, to be impulsive, to be wasteful of time, to visibly need. "What the fuck." "That batshit bike you dreamt doesn't use gas," Adam said. "The tank's wood inside; I put a camera in it to look. Just a ...more Maggie Stiefvater |

"In the future, the whole swath of late modernity will call to mind the image of the image of people eating delicacies and talking about the state of their souls --just as when someone mentions the medieval period, we picture people toiling in ditches"

"This collection is stunning. A couple of essays reminded me a ton of Kristin Dombek's essay in The Paris Review (https://www.theparisreview.org/letter...). There's a kind of headiness and fever to religious experience that's hard to cast off, and I t"

quote
“After all, life is just a play. Or an opera. It would be easier for all of us if we could watch only the highlights. Instead, we must endure convoluted plot twists and excruciating moments of suspense. We sit in the dark, threatened by vague menaces. Of course, those of us in the audience can always walk out; but the players have no choice. Once the curtain goes up they have to perfume the play from beginning to end. They have nowhere to hide.”

“人烧成了灰，成分就跟磷灰石差不多，并没有什么值得敬畏的，为什么我们要把它当回事？为什么每年头尾都有个年节作为始终，为什么勾搭别人上床之前先得有个告白和压马路的过程？为什么合法同居除了有张证之外，还得邀请亲朋好友来做一个什么用也没有的仪式？因为生死、光阴、离合，都有人赋予它们意义，这玩意看不见摸不着，也不知有什么用，可是你我和一堆化学成分的区别，就在于这一点‘意义’。”

“The only thing I have learned from life is to endure it, never to question it, and to burn up the longing generated by this in writing. Where this ideal has come from I have no idea, and as I now see it before me, in black and white, it almost seems perverse.”

“John," she said, "does it make every one—unhappy when they study and learn lots of things?" He paused and smiled. "I am afraid it does," he said.”
