I didn't have a financial need, and I wasn't very gifted at relationships. I probably was more like what we think of boys as being: hard to pin down and wary of commitment.

But she left him. That night the angels came back for her, like she'd asked them to. And nobody who saw the heartbreak on Grandpa's face when Granny breathed her last would have thought for one minute...

It seems you want me at your mercy, Princess. Question is, why? No, she whispered, question is do I?

There might be a million wrong people in your life, but when the right one comes everything looks dark.

I love you. I've always loved you. And I'll go on loving you until I don't anymore.

How do you hate someone who pulled you from the brink of death, not once, but twice?

... I never would have seen Chelsea reach up, take Logan's face in her hands, and kiss him. So the off again was definitely on again. And I knew then that Patrick was very wrong about my heart,...

How is it that disappointment arrives as soon as what you have desired for so long steps over the threshold? It's like finding the end of your wedding train dragging behind in the mud.

It had been a long, dull day at Jackson without Hurricane Lena, and I was starting to wonder how I ever got through eight periods without all the trouble she caused me. Without all the trouble she...

The heart's seasons seldom coincide with the calendar. Who among us has not been made desolate beyond all words upon some golden day when the little creatures of the air and meadow were life...

How I should despise such a thing if I were a man. What a nose she has! what a chin! what a neck! Then her eyes - - and the worst kissing lips in the universe.

It always struck me in years after how bizarre it was, how two people could look at one another with such tenderness and complete love, and how quickly that could dissolve into nothing but bitterness.

Momiji Sohma: Are you sure? Shigure said it hurt really bad. Hatori Sohma: Yes, well, I did that on purpose.

If she says goodbye perhaps adieu. Adieu - like those old time songs she sang. Always adieu {and all songs say it}. If she too says it, or weeps, I'll take her in my arms, my lunatic. She's mad but...

Harry was left to ponder in silence the depths to which girls would sink to get revenge.

She had lived long enough to learn that families didn't dissolve or reconfigure neatly, but left debris lying everywhere, and it was human debris. And sometimes, like tonight, she felt as if she were...

Are you holding her? Wrath asked. There was a pause. As soon as I get this bow tied in the back - hold on, girlie. Okay, up you go. She's in a pink dress that Cormia made her by hand. I hate pink. I...

Parents might not be keen on the idea of seeing each other, but then essentially

You emptied the top rack of the dishwasher but not the bottom, so the clean dishes have gotten all mixed up with the dirty ones - and now you want to have sex?

It wasn't the kind of thing you could ask but still I wanted to know. Did she have nightmares too? Crowd fears? Sweats and panics? Did she ever have the sense of observing herself from afar, as I...

"They seem a bit above my likes and dislikes, so to speak," answered Sam slowly. "It don't seem to matter what I think about them. They are quite different from what I expected - so old and young, and...
