    Rick Mystrom
    “Why Is It So Hard to Lose Weight?
    Body fat is hard to lose because the body automatically burns the easiest energy source first—blood glucose; when blood glucose gets too low, the body then uses the next easiest source of energy—glycogen in the liver—which converts back to glucose and goes into the bloodstream. Then and only then, after the liver is depleted of glycogen, does the body begin to use body fat. That is why body fat is so hard to get rid of. It’s the last source of energy used and is also a very stable molecule that is hard to break down.
     
    You can gain weight easily simply by putting more glucose in your bloodstream than you need for your current activity or inactivity. But it’s harder to lose weight because body fat is the last source of energy your body uses. This is the very reason that you can gain weight quickly, but losing weight takes longer. ”
    Rick Mystrom, Glucose Control Eating: Lose Weight Stay Slimmer Live Healthier Live Longer

    Kirsten Fullmer
    “Monique bit at the side of lip. “He’s pretty active, I don’t want to impose…”
    Tony stood and scooped up the puppy. “No, seriously, I’d love a little company.”
    Kirsten Fullmer, Problems at the Pub

  • #11
    S.G. Blaise
    “If he shows aptitude toward the A’ris element, meaning toward the healing arts, then he should contact the Healer’s Collage. Not that they would know much about magic. Anyone can become a healer these days.”
    S.G. Blaise, The Last Lumenian

  • #12
    “Yet, the work was not complete. Next, citing Bond’s veranda and our subsequent construction of it as an example, Sanjit elaborated on the thought which he had previously teased, but not fully explained: that when a reader reads, the reader constructs a setting and world and is able to view themselves through this world. However, he also added that when we read, we are not only able to see our constructed world, but to evaluate our constructed world. This is how, Sanjit would argue, we influence and better ourselves, even if unintentionally; for by pausing and analyzing our constructions we may be able to identify our assumptions about people, places, or things. And it is in this way that books may be an expressed form of art, not just for the writer, but also for the reader.”
    Colin Phelan, The Local School

    “Nox atra cava circumvolat umbra”
    Publio Virgilio Marón

    Gail Carson Levine
    “We don’t do big magic. Lucinda’s the only one. It’s too dangerous.”
    “What’s dangerous about ending a storm?”
    “Maybe nothing, maybe something. Use your imagination.”
    “Clear skies would be good. People could go outside.”
    “Use your imagination,” Mandy repeated.
    I thought. “The grass needs rain. The crops need rain.”
    “More,” Mandy said.
    “Maybe a bandit was going to rob someone, and he isn’t doing it because of the weather.”
    “That’s right. Or maybe I’d start a drought, and then I’d have to fix that because I started it. And then maybe the rain I sent would knock down a branch and smash in the roof of a house, and I’d have to fix that too.”
    “That wouldn’t be your fault. The owners should have built a stronger roof.”
    “Maybe, maybe not. Or maybe I’d cause a flood and people would be killed. That’s the problem with big magic. I only do little magic”
    Gail Carson Levine, Ella Enchanted

    Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
    All mimsy were the borogoves,
    And the mome raths outgrabe.”
    Lewis Carroll, Jabberwocky and Other Poems

    Rachel Caine, Lord of Misrule

    Jonathan Safran Foer
    “And so it was when anyone tried to speak: their minds would become tangled in remembrance. Words became floods of thought with no beginning or end, and would drown the speaker before he could reach the life raft of the point he was trying to make. It was impossible to remember what one meant, what, after all of the words, was intended.”
    Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything is Illuminated

  • #18
    T.S. Eliot
    “Shall we ever meet again?
    And who will meet again?
    Meeting is for strangers.
    Meeting is for those who do not know each other.”
    T.S. Eliot, The Family Reunion

    Barbara Sontheimer
    “Only someone watching him closely like Celena would have noticed his intense preoccupation, and that something in a split second had happened to him.  She wondered where he had gone when he should have been listening to the sermon, where his soul had gone went it had left his body.”
    Barbara Sontheimer, Victor's Blessing

  • #25
    Susan  Rowland
    “There was no going back now. Rubber and metal could only take so much. The car could shatter and send its passengers into an elemental distillation of rock, flesh, blood, and ash. Alchemy, thought Mary, grimly. Too much bloody alchemy.”
    Susan Rowland, The Alchemy Fire Murder

  • #26
    Sue Monk Kidd
    “...impossibility. I can tell you this much: the word is a great big log thrown on the fires of love.”
    Sue Monk Kidd, The Secret Life of Bees

    Eric Carle
    “On Saturday, he ate through one piece of chocolate cake, one ice-cream cone, one pickle, one slice of Swiss cheese, one slice of salami, one lollipop, one piece of cherry pie, one sausage, one cupcake, and one slice of watermelon

    That night he had a stomach ache.”
    Eric Carle, The Very Hungry Caterpillar

    Patrick Ness
    “You're never more alive than in battle."
    "Never more dead after," I say.”
    Patrick Ness, Monsters of Men

    Hunter S. Thompson
    “1) Never trust a cop in a raincoat.
    2) Beware of enthusiasm and of love, both are temporary and quick to sway.
    3) If asked if you care about the world's problems, look deep into the eyes of he who asks, he will never ask you again.
    4) Never give your real name.
    5) If ever asked to look at yourself, don't look.
    6) Never do anything the person standing in front of you can't understand.
    7) Never create anything, it will be misinterpreted, it will chain you and follow you for the rest of your life.”
    Hunter S. Thompson, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream

    Elisabeth Kübler-Ross
    “grieving, when we miss our loved ones even more than usual. How can you celebrate togetherness when there is none? When you have lost someone special, your world loses its celebratory qualities. Holidays only magnify the loss. The sadness feels sadder and the loneliness goes deeper. The need for support may be the greatest during the holidays. Nevertheless,”
    Elisabeth Kübler-Ross, On Grief and Grieving: Finding the Meaning of Grief Through the Five Stages of Loss
