Stephanie Lennox, I Don't Remember You
“Very
slowly using two fingers, Annabeth drew her dagger. Instead of dropping it, she
tossed it as far as she could into the water.
Octavian
made a squeaking sound. "What was that for? I didn't say toss it! That
could've been evidence. Or spoils of war!"
Annabeth
tried for a dumb-blonde smile, like: Oh, silly me. Nobody who knew her would
have been fooled. But Octavian seemed to buy it. He huffed in exasperation.
"You
other two..." He pointed his blade a Hazel and Piper. "Put your
weapons on the dock. No funny bus--"
All around
the Romans, Charleston Harbor erupted like a Las Vegas fountain putting on a
show. When the wall of seawater subsided, the three Romans were in the bay,
spluttering and frantically trying to stay afloat in their armor. Percy stood
on the dock, holding Annabeth's dagger.
"You
dropped this," he said, totally poker-faced.”

“...But
the Mahommedan religion increases, instead of lessening, the fury of
intolerance. It was originally propagated by the sword, and ever since, its
votaries have been subject, above the people of all other creeds, to this form
of madness. In a moment the fruits of patient toil, the prospects of material
prosperity, the fear of death itself, are flung aside. The more emotional
Pathans are powerless to resist. All rational considerations are forgotten.
Seizing their weapons, they become Ghazis—as dangerous and as sensible as mad
dogs: fit only to be treated as such. While the more generous spirits among the
tribesmen become convulsed in an ecstasy of religious bloodthirstiness, poorer
and more material souls derive additional impulses from the influence of
others, the hopes of plunder and the joy of fighting. Thus whole nations are
roused to arms. Thus the Turks repel their enemies, the Arabs of the Soudan
break the British squares, and the rising on the Indian frontier spreads far
and wide. In each case civilisation is confronted with militant Mahommedanism.
The forces of progress clash with those of reaction. The religion of blood and
war is face to face with that of peace.”
―
Winston Churchill, The Story of the Malakand Field Force
“Hugh
and I have been together for so long that in order to arouse extraordinary
passion, we need to engage in physical combat. Once, he hit me on the back of
the head with a broken wineglass, and I fell to the floor pretending to be
unconscious. That was romantic, or would have been had he rushed to my side
rather than stepping over my body to fetch the dustpan.”
―
David Sedaris, Dress Your Family in Corduroy and Denim
“All
your words are but to say: you are a woman, and your part is in the house. But
when the men have died in battle and honour, you have leave to be burned in the
house, for the men will need it no more. But I am of the House of Éorl and not
a serving-woman. I can ride and wield blade, and I do not fear either pain or
death.”
―
J.R.R. Tolkien
“Use
only that which works, and take it from any place you can find it.”
―
Bruce Lee, Tao of Jeet Kune Do
“Three
months ago, if you asked me, I would have told you that if you really loved
someone, you’d let them go. But now I look at you, and I dreamed about Maggie,
and I see that I’ve been wrong. If you really love someone, Allie, I think you
have to take them back.”
―
Jodi Picoult, Mercy
“No
one fights dirtier or more brutally than blood; only family knows it’s own
weaknesses, the exact placement of the heart. The tragedy is that one can still
live with the force of hatred, feel infuriated that once you are born to
another, that kinship lasts through life and death, immutable, unchanging, no
matter how great the misdeed or betrayal. Blood cannot be denied, and perhaps
that’s why we fight tooth and claw, because we cannot—being only human—put
asunder what God has joined together.”

Whitney Otto, How to Make an American Quilt
“There's
some good in this world, Mr. Frodo, and it's worth fighting for.”
― J.
R. R. Tolkien
