    T.J. Shaw
    “My sweet lemming,” he murmured, nuzzling her neck and sending glorious spirals of pleasure ping-ponging throughout her body. “You’ve been quiet and that worries me.”

    “Why?” she asked, trailing her hand down his banded forearm to entwine her fingers within his.

    “Because that means you’re thinking, and a thinking woman is usually something to fear.”
    ― T.J. Shaw, Caller of Light

    C.L. Wilson
    “My beloved is the sun
    And I am the earth that thrives only in her warmth. My beloved is the rain
    And I am the grass that thirsts for her quenching kiss. My beloved is the wind
    And I am the wings that soar when she fills me with her gentle strength.
    My beloved is the rock
    Upon which rests the happiness of all my days.
    —The Elements of Love, a poem by Aileron v'En Kavali of the Fey”

    Steve Jobs
    “Here's to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They're not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them. About the only thing you can't do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

    “I wrote your name across my heart

    So I would not forget.

    The way I felt when you were born

    Before we'd even met

     

    I wrote your name across my heart

    So your heart beats with mine

    And when I miss you most I trace

    Each loop and every line

     

    I wrote your name across my heart,

    So we could be together

    So I could hold you close to me

    And keep you there forever.”
