    Sylvia Plath
    “I can never read all the books I want; I can never be all the people I want and live all the lives I want. I can never train myself in all the skills I want. And why do I want? I want to live and feel all the shades, tones and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.”
    Sylvia Plath, The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath

    Kelley Armstrong
    “Derek caught my arm again as I started to move--at this rate, it was going to be as sore as my injured one.
    "Dog," he said, jerking his chin toward the fenced yard. "It was inside earlier."
    Expecting to see a Doberman slavering at the fence, I followed his gaze to a little puff of white fur, the kind of dog women stick in their purses. It wasn't even barking, just staring at us, dancing in place.
    "Oh, my God! It's a killer Pomeranian." I glanced up at Derek. "It's a tough call, but I think you can take him.”
    Kelley Armstrong, The Awakening

    Kelley Armstrong
    “You were just worried about me."
    An exhale, relieved that I had understood. "Yeah"
    I turned. "Because you think I'm worth it"
    He put his fingers under my chin. "I absolutely think your worth it."
    "But you don't think you are."
    His mouth opened. Shut.
    "That's what this is about, Derek. You won't let us worry about you because you don't think you're worth it. But I do. I absolutely do.”
    Kelley Armstrong, The Reckoning

    Kelley Armstrong
    “So I was right, wasn't I? It's still you, even in wolf form.'
    He grunted.
    No sudden uncontrollable urges to go kill something?'
    He rolled his eyes.
    Hey, you're the one who was worried.' I paused. 'And I don't smell like dinner, right?'
    I got a real look for that one.
    Just covering all the bases.”
    Kelley Armstrong, The Reckoning

    Kelley Armstrong
    “He balled up my discarded
    sweatshirt and put it against his shoulder.
    “Go on,” he said. “I don’t bite.”
    “And from what I hear, that’s a good thing.”
    He gave a rumbling chuckle. “Yeah, it is.”
    I leaned against his shoulder.”
    Kelley Armstrong, The Awakening

    Kelley Armstrong
    “So," Simon said. "Looks like you and Derek are getting along again. What happened? Did he give you the look?"
    "Look?"
    "You know. The one that makes him look like a whipped puppy, and makes you feel like a jerk for doing the whipping."
    "Ah, that one. So it works on you, too?"
    He snorted. "It even works on Dad. We give in, we tell him it's okay, and the next thing you know, he's chewing up slippers again."
    I laughed.”
    Kelley Armstrong, The Reckoning

    Kelley Armstrong
    “Finally, I sat up. "So, I suppose you should do something, wolfie. Hunt maybe?"
    A grunt, the tone saying no.
    "Run? Get some exercise?"
    Another grunt, less decisive, more like a maybe.
    He pushed to his feet, wobbly, still adjusting to his new center of gravity. He gingerly moved one fore paw, then the next, one rear paw, then the other. He picked up the pace, but still slow as he circled the clearing. A snort, like he'd figured it out, and broke into a lope, stumbled and plowed muzzle first into the undergrowth.
    I stifled a laugh, but not very well, and he glowered at me.
    "Forget running, a nice, leisurely stroll might be more your speed."
    He snorted and turned fast. When I fell back, he gave a growling chuckle.
    "Still cant resist throwing your weight around, can you?”
    Kelley Armstrong

    “I let her through. She checked Derek's pulse and his breathing, saying both seemed okay, then leaned down to his face.
    "Nothing weird on his breath. Smells . . . like toothpaste."
    Derek's eyes opened, and the first thing he saw was Tori's face inches from his. He jumped and let out an oath. Simon cracked up. I madly motioned for him to be quiet.
    "Are you okay?" I asked Derek.
    "He is now," Simon said. "After Tori jump-started his heart.”
    Kelley Armstrong, The Reckoning

    “I slid closer, feeling his arms close around me, tightening. Our lips touched--
    "Derek?" his dad called. "Chloe?"
    Derek let out a growl. I laughed and backed up.
    "We seem to get a lot of that, don't we?" I said.
    "Too much. After we eat, we're going for a walk. A long walk. Far from every possible interruption."
    I grinned up at him. "Sounds like a plan”
    Kelley Armstrong, The Reckoning

    Kelley Armstrong
    “I found something" Simon said as he walked in. He whipped out an old-fashioned key from his pocket and grinned at me. "It was taped to the back of my dresser drawer. What do you think? Buried treasure? Secret passageway? Locked room where they keep crazy old Aunt Edna?"

    "It probaly unlocks another dresser," Tori said. "One they threw out fifty years ago."

    "Its tragic, being born without an imagination. Do they hold telethons for that?”
    Kelley Armstrong, The Reckoning

    Kelley Armstrong
    “Depends on the dog. Big country dogs like these? Yeah. It's the fancy city ones that give me trouble. Overbred, Dad says. Makes them skittish and screws up their wiring. I had a Chihuahua attack me last year." He showed me a faint scar on his hand. "Took a good chunk out."
    I sputtered a laugh. "A Chihuahua?"
    "Hey, that thing was more vicious than a pit bull. I was at a park with Simon, kicking around a ball. All of a sudden, this little rat dog comes tearing out of nowhere, jumps up, and clamps down on my hand. Wouldn't let go. I'm shaking it, and the owner's yelling at me not to hurt little Tito. I finally get the dog off. I'm bleeding all over that place and the guy never even apologizes.”
    Kelley Armstrong, The Awakening

    “Fine,' Jared snapped. 'But if you try cuddling up to me tonight... so help me, O'Shea."
    Ian chuckled. ' Not to sound overly arrogant, but to be perfectly honest, Jared, were I so inclined, I think I could do better.”
    Stephenie Meyer, The Host

    “Prayers are answered in one of four ways,” she said. “Yes. No. I have
    something else in mind. And . . .”
    She paused long enough for my impatience to show. “And what’s the
    fourth answer?”
    “Wait,” she said.”
    Megan McCafferty, Bumped

    Kelley Armstrong
    “He pivoted, gaze following me as I crossed to the shower and turned on the cold water, so it would drown out our conversation without steaming up the room.
    Great," he muttered."Now they're going to think we're showering together. Maybe we can just tell them we were washing off the crawl space dirt and trying to conserve water.”
    Kelley Armstrong, The Summoning
