“And I told you that one night wan't enough."
Loki leaned down, kissing me deeply and pressing me to him. I didn't even attempt to resist. I wrapped my arms around his neck. It wasn't the we had kissed before, not as hungry or fevered. This was something different, nicer.
We were holding onto each other, knowing this might be the last time we could. It felt sweet and hopeful and tragic all at once.
When he stopped kissing me he rested his forehead against mine. He breathed as if struggling to catch his breath. i reached up and touched his face, his skin smooth and cool beneath my hand.
Loki lifted his head so he could look me in the eyes, and I saw something in them, something I'd never seen before. Something pure and unadulterated, and my heart seemed to grow with the warmth of my love for him.
I didn't know how it happened or when it had, but I knew it with complete certainty. I had fallen in love with Loki, more intensely than anything I had felt for anyone before.”
― Amanda Hocking, Ascend

“You know that eye-to-eye recognition, when two people look deeply into each other's pupils, and burrow to the soul? It usually comes before love.

My father recognized that the Professor was a Troll, and the Professor recognized my father's recognition. Both of them knew that the Professor had eaten his wife. - The Troll”
― T.H. White

“Some of the fantasy objects arising from cybernetic totalism (like the noosphere, which is a supposed global brain formed by the sum of all the human brains connected through the
internet) happen to motivate infelicitous technological designs.
For instance, designs that celebrate the noosphere tend to energize the inner troll, or bad actor, within humans.”
― Jaron Lanier, You Are Not a Gadget

“Neither Rose nor Charles liked to talk much of their adventures with the trolls, but some of the so-called "softskins" whom they had brought out of Niflheim, as well as the crew of the ship Soren had hired to go north to find Rose, must have spread the story, because for many years afterward, there were tales of a race of trolls living on top of the world.
Only Rose and her white bear know the whole truth of it.”

“Igneous was huge and...well, rocky. He moved around the streets like a small iceberg and, like an iceberg, there was more to him than immediately met the eye. He was known as a supplier of things. More or less any kind of things. And he was also a wall, which was the same as a fence only a lot harder and tougher to beat. Igneous never unnecessary questions, because he couldn't think of any.”
― Terry Pratchett, Feet of Clay

“The troll language was very difficult to learn, bearing no relation to Njorden or any other language I had heard...

― Edith Pattou, East

“We can simply—as a matter of principle and power preservation—refuse to participate in unproductive arguments or engage in conversations that diminish our sense of self-worth.

― Sol Luckman, Get Out of Here Alive: Inner Alchemy & Immortality

“When a bitter word, flung from the void of the internet, seeks to cloud your pixelated garden, do not despair. For within the harshest comment, the Beloved surely hides, testing your capacity for infinite patience. Reply not with logic, but with a deeply metaphorical, twenty-seven-stanza poem about the essential unity of all beings, then invite them for a long, silent walk in the desert. They always come around... eventually.”

“When a small, angry pixel-ghoul spits its digital venom upon your illuminated garden, do do not reach for the keyboard-sword. For the keyboard-sword only multiplies the dust. Instead, remember the vast, silent ocean of your own being. Let the ghoul's tiny wave crash upon the shore, then recede into the nothingness from whence it came.”
