    Ayn Rand
    “Do not let your fire go out, spark by irreplaceable spark in the hopeless swamps of the not-quite, the not-yet, and the not-at-all.

It exists.. it is real.. it is possible.. it's yours.”
    Ayn Rand, Atlas Shrugged

    “Yeah – Sure I remember
    Matter of fact it was just last September
    She still calls it the fall to remember
    Little Heather when it all came together
    You remember the first time you met her?
    She cried when it rained and blamed the weather
    But inside she strained with suicide letters
    The kind of cold you couldn’t warm with a sweater
    Hardly lasted past December
    She said she was headed down to defeat
    That’s the last you’d seen and never had dreamed
    That the same little Heather – It’s who you saw last week
    In an instant you couldn’t have missed her gleam
    As she listened she looked like a distant queen
    With a difference, there for all to see
    She found a different – A different kind of free”
    ZOEgirl, ZOEgirl: Different Kind of Free: Piano/Vocal/Guitar

    John Flanagan
    “Gundar seemed to come to a decision.
    "Well, as my old mam used to say, if it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck and walks like a duck, it's probably a duck."
    "Very wise," Halt said. "And what exactly do your mother's words of wisdom have to do with this situation?"
    Gundar shrugged. "It looks like a channel. It's the right place for a channel. If I were digging one, this is where I'd dig a channel. So. . ."
    "So it's probably the channel?" Selethen said.
    Gundar grinned at him. "Either that or it's a duck.”
    John Flanagan, The Emperor of Nihon-Ja

    Jarod Kintz
    “Sometimes I get depressed about my age. In March I’ll be 26. If man weren’t measured in numbers, but rather letters, I’d be turning Z. And then I’d be dead.”

    Richelle Mead
    “Lissa and I had been friends ever since kindergarten, when our teacher had paired us up together for writing lessons. Forcing five-year-olds to spell Vasilisa Dragomir and Rosemarie Hathaway was beyond cruel, and we’d—or rather, I’d—responded appropriately. I’d chucked my book at out teacher and called her a fascist bastard. I hadn’t known what those words meant, but I’d known how to hit a moving target.
    Lissa and I had been inseparable ever since.”
    Richelle Mead, Vampire Academy

    Sarah Dessen
    “I was beginning to see, though, that the unknown wasn't always the greatest thing to fear. The people who know you best can be risker, because the words they say and things they think have the potential to be not only scary but true, as well.”
    Sarah Dessen, Just Listen

    Lisa Kleypas
    “I want you any way I can get you. Not because you’re beautiful or clever or kind or adorable, although devil knows you’re all those things. I want you because there’s no one else like you, and I don’t ever want to start a day without seeing you.”
    Lisa Kleypas, Tempt Me at Twilight

    Studs Terkel
    “It was in ’35—we had this campaign to raise a million tax dollars. In the town of Phillips, one evening, during a blizzard, I was met by a crowd of miners. They were given the day off and a stake to attend this meeting. They surrounded me and said this tax would cost six hundred of them their jobs. They were busted farmers and fortunately found a job in these Home Stake mines. I went back home feeling worried. But the tax was passed, and not a single miner lost his job.”
    Studs Terkel, Hard Times: An Oral History of the Great Depression

    Woody Allen
    “In my next life I want to live my life backwards. You start out dead and get that out of the way. Then you wake up in an old people's home feeling better every day. You get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, and then when you start work, you get a gold watch and a party on your first day. You work for 40 years until you're young enough to enjoy your retirement. You party, drink alcohol, and are generally promiscuous, then you are ready for high school. You then go to primary school, you become a kid, you play. You have no responsibilities, you become a baby until you are born. And then you spend your last 9 months floating in luxurious spa-like conditions with central heating and room service on tap, larger quarters every day and then Voila! You finish off as an orgasm!”
    Woody Allen

  • #27
    Glen Duncan
    “How to describe hell? Disembowelled landscape busy with suffering, incessant heat, permanent scarlet twilight, a swirling snowfall of ash, the stink of pain and the din of...if only, hell is two things: the absence of God and the presence of time. Infinite variations on that theme. Doesn't sound so bad, does it? Well, trust me.”
    Glen Duncan, I, Lucifer

    Lexi Blake
    “Punishment? You don’t have any right to punish me. And I can curse. I choose not to most of the time, but don’t think it doesn’t go through my head, asshole. I was trying to give you something. I was trying to give you my body.”
    “That’s where you fucked up, little girl. I don’t want your body. I want your soul. I want your everything. And I definitely want your orgasms. I want them all. I’ll be a greedy bastard, savoring them and hoarding them all for myself. You wanted to give me your body? I can buy that on a street corner, sweetheart. You’re the one who’s being selfish now.”
    “How is it selfish to offer to have sex? I don’t understand what you want.”

    “First off, I want you to stop hiding yourself from me. You’re the one making this tawdry by pretending it’s dirty and not worthy of the light of day.”
    “I didn’t mean it that way.”

    “We’re going to do this my way. We tried yours and it didn’t work, so I’m taking control. I should have done it in the first place.”
    Lexi Blake, A Dom is Forever
