Look, he isn’t even concerned.I poured the tea. He’s concerned, Mother. He just doesn’t panic, because he’s in charge and if he panics, everybody else will panic.I can jog around the room pretending t...

Last night I dreamt I went to Manderley again.

I’ve never run this far before, he said at one point. Or this fast for so long. It’s better than sticking your head out a car window, that’s for sure.My theory is that Oberon might be a master of Tao....

It's the causes, not the dependent person, that must be corrected. That's why I see the United States' War on Drugs as being fought in an unrealistic manner. This war is focused on fighting drug deale...

Is this necessary? I said, gesturing to the paint and clothing.Of course, he said coolly. How else would I know if anyone touches you?He approached, and I braced myself as he ran a finger along my sho...

If I wasn't dead already, I'd said I was having a heart attack.

I traveled from city to city in those days, and the view from within the ghettos was terrible and terrifying. While white people in the periphery were arming themselves against the day when they would...

I thought you were all-seeing. All-knowing, not all-seeing! he snapped. I’m a God, not Santa Claus!

I know you two are old and up past your bedtime so ill keep this quick.

I haven't stopped thinking about anything you have said. She looked down at the worktop. You're not perfect, Owen, and I apologize for pointing it out to you on so many occasions. I honestly didn’t th...

I have never had parents who set good examples, parents whose expectations were worth living up to, but she did. I can see them within her, the courage and the beauty they pressed into her like a hand...

I have become convinced that God thoroughly enjoys fixing and saving things that are broken. That means that no matter how hurt and defeated you feel, no matter how badly you have been damaged, God ca...

I hate you! I screamed at Fang. Tucking my wings in, I aimed downward,diving toward the ground at more than two hundred miles an hour.No you dooonnn’t! Fang’s voice spiraled away into nothingness, far...

I felt so ashamed with them because everything in their life was going so well and they were so sort of successful. I couldn't talk about what I wanted with them and they were always in a hurry.

I do not know what I would do if you left me. For the first time I felt the suggestion of a threat in his voice—or I put it there. I have been alone so long—I do not think I would be able to live if I...
