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."

"Anneminki basmaydı, senin perdelerin tül olacak. Sen bu tül perdelerin ardında solacaksın. Çilli akasyaların kirli grisinde kaybolduğu sokak parçalarına dalarak. Dünyanın kapıları kapalı şimdilik. Ör kazanı. Sen oyalarına dön. Kartpostallara dalma. Yasak sana resimli resimsiz romanlar. Senin hayatın muhtasar bir kıssa. "

“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.
Hassan has a point
+ I don't think God cares if we have a dog or if a woman wears shorts. I think He really cares about whether you're a good person.

"Take your hands off my fiancée."
"Apologies." Kai released me, his expression strangely self-satisfied. "I didn't realize...”
"I don't give a fuck what you did or didn't realize. Touch Vivian again, and I'll kill you."
Simple. Brutal. Honest.
“Why do you care?"
"I don't know!" The force of his reply stunned me into silence.
"I don't know why I care. I just know I do, and I hate it." Self-loathing coated his voice.
"I hate the idea of you touching anyone else, or anyone else touching you. I hate that other people can make you laugh in a way I can't. I hate how I feel around you, like you're the only person that can make me lose control when I. Don't. Lose. Control."
We both get hurt
Humans are social animals. When it comes to affairs of the heart, most of us are pretty similar. We want to be loved, respected, and cared for. We want to get along with others and generally have a good time with them. When we fight with, reject, or distance ourselves from the people we love, we don't feel good. And when they fight with, reject, or distance themselves from us, we feel even worse. So when you fight with your partner, you both get hurt.

Amerikalılar hayatlarının yarısını reçeteli ilaçlarla geçiriyor
Americans spend half their lives on prescription drugs
Many Americans will spend half their lives taking one or more prescription drugs.
The average American man will be on drugs for 48 percent of his life, and this rises to 60 percent in American women.
Most women start taking drugs around the age of 15, while men begin medicating from the age of 40, say researchers from Penn State's Social Science Research Institute.

"I like that he's responsible, punctual, takes all of his engagements seriously, steps up for justice, and helps in every way possible. I like his cooking, his rare smiles, and how dedicated he is to running and staying healthy. I like making him laugh and, eh, watching him sleep. I like how he's fully concentrated when he's in the art studio, but most of all, I like how he let me into his life and made a place for me there. I even like the boring Agatha Christie movie adaptations now, not because they're any good, but because he's truly obsessed with that shi-I mean, stuff. I even like his nagging and control-freak tendencies most of the time, so yeah, there's nothing I don't like... actually, there's something. He has this habit of putting everyone else's comfort before his own, or he pretends to be fine when he's obviously not. I don't only dislike that. I hate it."
