derek - Bilingual quotes that celebrate the beauty of language, showcasing meaningful expressions in two unique perspectives.
Kelley Armstrong
I flicked an eraser at him. He ducked it and threw me a grin.While I was getting my Changes under control, we'd decided I should try once a week. While Simon was joking about house-breaking, that's kind of what it was like-take me outside regularly, where I'd attempt to perform a bodily function, and hopefully train my body to do it on a schedule. So far, I felt like a month-old puppy, struggling to control my bladder before it was ready to be controlled.
Kelley Armstrong
Just a guy. A college-aged guy. Talking to Chloe.I watched him bend over the table, hands planted on it, his gaze fixed on Chloe, his lips parting in a smile as he said something to her. A slow burn started in my gut, and before I could stop myself, I was barreling down on them, Simon's protests fading behind me.
Kelley Armstrong
Of the Phoenix kids, the one Derek got along best with was Daniel. In him, Daniel had found a good sparring partner. And a plotting partner, too. Derek wasn't just the biggest and strongest in our group. He was also the smartest. Scary, off-the-charts smart. That intimidated Daniel a little at first-he's bright, but he needs to work for his grades. But Derek wasn't a show-off or a know-it-all, so they got past that and we would hang out together, the two guys, Chloe, and I planning and plotting our future, bouncing ideas off one another.
Kelley Armstrong
I made it two steps before he snorted. I turned to see him lying on his belly ready to jump up. He jerked his muzzle, telling me to come back.He cut me off with a snort. It was hard for a wolf to scowl, but he managed a good glower.I took the switchblade from my jacket pocket. A snort. A head jerk.
Kelley Armstrong
As she did, someone else poked his head in. Rafe. He looked at the other two, then me. He lowered his voice. I said. He nodded and retreated. I said when he was gone. Chloe looked from me to the now-empty doorway. She trailed off and shook her head. Derek cut in.Chloe gave him a look as I inwardly flinched.
Kelley Armstrong
A whisper of fabric as Derek dressed. Then a hand on my waist, a light touch, tentative. I turned and Derek was right there, his face above mine, hands sliding around me as I titled my face up-We both jumped-again. Tori stood there, staring at us, Simon behind her, grabbing her arm. Simon began. She shook her head. Liz raced in. "Derek's ready," I said.
Kelley Armstrong
As we sat, Derek pulled a handful of energy bars from his pocket, and gave me one. Simon reached into his pockets. Tori said.Simon sat on the crate beside me. Derek interrupted. Simon swore under his breath. He turned to me.
Kelley Armstrong
He held out an old eight millimeter video camera. A video camera? What would I use it for? Recording our great escape? I didn't say that, because I knew it wasn't the point. This was a gift, a way to say His eyes begged me to take it. Just take it. Forgive him. Forget what happened. Start over. And that's what I wanted to do-accept his gift and smile and see that spark in his eyes and
Kelley Armstrong
An exhale, relieved that I understood. I turned. He put his fingers under my chin. His mouth opened. Shut.I lifted onto my toes, put my hands around his neck, and pulled him down. When our lips met, that first jolt...It was everything I hadn't felt with Simon, everything I'd wanted to feel.His hands went around my waist, pulling me closer-Simon's footsteps thudded through the hall. We jumped apart. Derek grumbled.
Kelley Armstrong
I said.A dismissive snort as he got to his feet. He tried running again, and didn't fall, but did more lurching than loping, his legs threatening to tangle at every step.
Kelley Armstrong
Simon appeared at the doorway behind Tori and Derek. He waved to me and mouthed Not a bad idea. I snuck around them and zipped out the door to where Simon waited. Then I glanced back at Tori. he said. He led me into the next room. Derek called. Simon took my elbow and steered me at a jog through the house as Derek's footsteps pounded behind us.
Kelley Armstrong
SImon said. Derek said.
Kelley Armstrong
she asked. I gave a soft growl at the last one and she laughed. she said.
Kelley Armstrong

Kelley Armstrong
I stopped short and sighed as Derek stepped up behind me, arms sliding around my waist. I leaned back against him and relaxed. he said, bending to my ear. There was no trace of anger in his voice now. Now it was his turn to sigh.
Kelley Armstrong
he snapped when I answered. I glanced at Tori's back, a half mile away. A growl. He knew better than to answer. Despite my lack of defensive superpowers, I'd gotten myself- and Tori- out of plenty of scrapes. Sometimes, knowing you don't have the skills to fight can be a bonus. With Tori, overconfidence equals lack of caution and, yes, as Derek would say, common sense. I said. A louder growl. I said. He grumbled something I couldn't hear and probably didn't want to.
Kelley Armstrong
my voice cracking.Simon squeezed my hand. His lips lowering to my ear, whispering, He went rigid, head lifting. Tori said behind me.
Kelley Armstrong

Kelley Armstrong
Seeing me shivering, he stretched a front leg toward the sweatshirt, pawing the edge and snarling when he realized he couldn't grab it.
Kelley Armstrong
Simon and Derek exchanged a look. Derek said. A derisive snort. Simon said. Tori's mouth hardened. Derek said. Tori sputtered a protest, but from the horror in her eyes, I knew the possibility hadn't occurred to her. I said, Derek said. He fixed her with an icy look. The expression on her face...I felt for her, whether she'd welcome my sympathy or not. Simon said, his tone softer than his brother's. I cut in. Derek said. He met Tori's gaze.
Kelley Armstrong
whispered a familiar voice.Thwack. He stumbled, Liz behind him, a sturdy branch raised.She hit him again, a home-run swing between the shoulders, and he went down with an oomph and an oath. She recognized the voice-or the curse-and leaned over, getting a look at him.{Liz} {Simon}
Kelley Armstrong
She saw Derek and without so much as a hello, leaned to look behind him. She glared up at Derek. "Where'd you leave him?""Passed out in an alley." Derek frowned in thought. I said as Tori sputtered.
Kelley Armstrong
I said. I pushed my left one up, showing four bruises, dark as ink spots. Simon paled. He rubbed his mouth, still staring at my arm. Simon's eyes widened, then he lowered his lids to hide his surprise. Derek's voice preceded him around the corner.I shrank back. I couldn't help it. As I did, a look passed through Derek's eyes. Remorse? Guilt? He blinked it away.
Kelley Armstrong
I opened the bag and pulled out a small box of chocolates. She flashed me a huge smile that would have looked totally real … if I didn't know her better. Her face went bright red now as she stammered, She stopped as I held out the bag. I said. She looked in and let out a choking laugh. Then, still grinning, she reached in and pulled out a penlight, a Swiss army knife and a purse-sized can of mace. She sputtered another laugh. I said. She smiled up at me. She rose on tiptoes again and put her arms around my neck.
Kelley Armstrong
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
What's wrong? I didn't say a word. Something's up. What is it? Nothing. His head turned, gaze going to mine. Yeah? Yes. A snort and he returned to his bowl…
Kelley Armstrong
Was she telling you to stay away from me?" I asked.He paused, then said, "Yeah." He squeezed my hand out of Aunt Lauren's sight. "It's okay. We're good."Chloe and Derek"
Kelley Armstrong
If it gets too bad, go. I'll understand.I won't.
Kelley Armstrong
And stop doing that," he said. "Backing away, giving me that look."Like you're scaring me? Maybe you are."He stepped back so fast he wobbled and caught himself, and the look on his face-Itvanished in a second, the scowl returning.I'd never hurt you, Chloe. You should know-" He stopped. Paused. Then wheeled andstarted walking away. "Next time? Handle it yourself. I'm done taking care of you.

Taffy. He thinks about taffy. He thinks it would take his teeth out now, but he would eat it anyhow, if it meant eating it with her.
by Mitch Albom
All our human endeavours are like that, she reflected, and it is only because we are too ignorant to realize it, or are too forgetful to remember it, that we have the confidence to build something that is meant to last.
by Alexander McCall Smith
In fact, none of us knows how he ever managed to get his LLB in the first place. Maybe they're putting law degrees in cornflakes boxes these days.
by Alexander McCall Smith
The value of money is subjective, depending on age. At the age of one, one multiplies the actual sum by 145,000, making one pound seem like 145,000 pounds to a one-year-old. At seven – Bertie's age – the multiplier is 24, so that five pounds seems like 120 pounds. At the age of twenty four, five pounds is five pounds; at forty five it is divided by 5, so that it seems like one pound and one pound seems like twenty pence. {All figures courtesy of Scottish Government Advice Leaflet: Handling your Money.}
by Alexander McCall Smith
Look, if you say that science will eventually prove there is no God, on that I must differ. No matter how small they take it back, to a tadpole, to an atom, there is always something they can't explain, something that created it all at the end of the search. And no matter how far they try to go the other way – to extend life, play around with the genes, clone this, clone that, live to one hundred and fifty – at some point, life is over. And then what happens? When the life comes to an end? I shrugged. You see? He leaned back. He smiled. When you come to the end, that's where God begins.
by Mitch Albom
Small towns are like metronomes; with the slightest flick, the beat changes.
by Mitch Albom
You say you should have died instead of me. But during my time on earth, people died instead of me, too. It happens every day. When lightning strikes a minute after you are gone, or an airplane crashes that you might have been on. When your colleague falls ill and you do not. We think such things are random. But there is a balance to it all. One withers, another grows. Birth and death are part of a whole.
by Mitch Albom
we get so many lives between birth and death. A life to be a child. A life to come of age. A life to wander, to settle, to fall in love, to parent, to test our promise, to realize our mortality-and, in some lucky cases, to do something after that realization.
by Mitch Albom
Where there's bluster, thinks Luisa, there's duplicity
by David Mitchell
I have the tendency to be nervous at the sight of trouble looming. As the danger draws near, I become less nervous. When the peril is at hand, I swell with fierceness. As I grapple with my assailant, I am without fear and fight to the finish with little thought of injury.
