The fair sex should be always fair, and no man
Till thirty should perceive there’s a plain woman.
And after that serene and somewhat dull
Epoch, that awkward corner turned for days
More quiet, when our moon’s no more at full,
We may presume to criticize or praise,
Because indifference begins to lull
Our passions and we walk in wisdom’s ways.
"Suit yourself. But whatever you do or don't do, sweetheart, do it for yourself. Don't choose a mediocre life for a mediocre man. Go be exceptional. If he's worth it, he won't judge you. And if he's really the one, he'll come along for the ride."
"Oh, man. Neil, you clean up good. Can I say that, or is that
against the rules? Just—damn. Aaron, don't let me get too drunk
tonight."
Andrew stopped by Nicky long enough to pull a pack of
cigarettes out of his pocket. He lit one, never mind that the
dormitory rooms came equipped with smoke detectors, and put
his lighter in Nicky's face.
"Don't make me kill you," Andrew said.
Nicky held up his hands in self-defense. "I know."
"Do you?"
"Promise," Nicky said weakly.
However, the poor jackals are less foul
(As being the brave lions’ keen providers)
Than human insects, catering for spiders.
Raise but an arm! ’Twill brush their web away,
And without that, their poison and their claws
Are useless. Mind, good people, what I say
(Or rather peoples), go on without pause!
The web of these tarantulas each day
Increases, till you shall make common cause.
‘To be or not to be?’ Ere I decide,
I should be glad to know that which is being.
’Tis true we speculate both far and wide
And deem because we see, we are all-seeing.
For my part, I’ll enlist on neither side
Until I see both sides for once agreeing.
For me, I sometimes think that life is death,
Rather than life a mere affair of breath.
So I took Anse. And when I knew that I had Cash, I knew that living was terrible and that this was the answer to it. That was when I learned that words are no good; that words don't ever fit even what they are trying to say at. When he was born I knew that motherhood was invented by someone who had to have a word for it because the ones that had the children didn’t care whether there was a word for it or not. I knew that fear was invented by someone that had never had the fear; pride, who never had the pride. I knew that it had been, not that they had dirty noses, but that we had had to use one another by words like spiders dangling by their mouths from a beam, swinging and twisting and never touching, and that only through the blows of the switch could my blood and their blood flow as one stream. I knew that it had been, not that my aloneness had to be violated over and over each day, but that it had never been violated until Cash came. Not even by Anse in the nights.

"We had given AM sentience. Inadvertently, of course, but sentience nonetheless. But it had been trapped. AM wasn't God, he was a machine. We had created him to think, but there was nothing it could do with that creativity. In rage, in frenzy, the machine had killed the human race, almost all of us, and still it was trapped. AM could not wander, AM could not wonder, AM could not belong. He could merely be. And so, with the innate loathing that all machines had always held for the weak, soft creatures who had built them, he had sought revenge. And in his paranoia, he had decided to reprieve five of us, for a personal, everlasting punishment that would never serve to diminish his hatred… that would merely keep him reminded, amused, proficient at hating man. Immortal, trapped, subject to any torment he could devise for us from the limitless miracles at his command. He would never let us go. We were his belly slaves. We were all he had to do with his forever time. We would be forever with him, with the cavern-filling bulk of the creature machine, with the all-mind soulless world he had become. He was Earth, and we were the fruit of that Earth; and though he had eaten us, he would never digest us. We could not die. We had tried it. We had attempted suicide, oh one or two of us had. But AM had stopped us. I suppose we had wanted to be stopped. Don't ask why. I never did. More than a million times a day. Perhaps once we might be able to sneak a death past him. Immortal, yes, but not indestructible."

you two are going to be the death of me for sure
''I'm not a pipe dream,'' Neil said. ''I'm not going anywhere.''
''I didn't ask you.''
''Ask me,'' Neil insisted. ''or stick around long enough to figure it out for yourself.''
''I'll get bored of you eventually.''
''You sure?'' Neil asked. ''Rumor has it I'm pretty interesting.''
''Don't believe everything you hear.''
I murmured the last two lines under my breath. I knew them by heart, had known them for months, but the fear that I would forget a word or phrase halfway through my audition gnawed at me anyway. I glanced across the room at James and said, "Do you ever wonder if Shakespeare knew these speeches half as well as we do?"
He withdrew from whatever verse he was reading, looked up, and said, "Constantly."
I cracked a smile, vindicated just enough. "Well, I give up. I'm not actually getting anything done."
He checked his watch. "No, I don't think I am either."
Scene 1Kitabı okuyor
“Being angry at a sub because a scene goes bad or you don't get the response you want isn't the mark of a good Dom. And insulting a woman for any reason is the mark of an asshole.”
‘And oh, if e’er I should forget, I swear –
But that’s impossible and cannot be.
Sooner shall this blue ocean melt to air,
Sooner shall earth resolve itself to sea
Than I resign thine image, oh my fair
Or think of anything excepting thee.
Well – well, the world must turn upon its axis,
And all mankind turn with it, heads or tails,
And live and die, make love and pay our taxes,
And as the veering wind shifts, shift our sails.
