As he lifted his head, he saw a painting on the wall, in a carved and gilded frame. It was a luminous portrait of the Duchess with her children when they were still young. The group was arranged on the settee, with Ivo, still an infant, on his mother's lap. Gabriel, Raphael, and Seraphina were seated on either side of her, while Phoebe leaned over the back of the settee. Her face was close to her mother's, her expression tender and slightly mischievous, as if she were about to tell her a secret or make her laugh. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Lisa Kleypas
After a day filled with talking, laughing, reminiscing and making future plans, Evie had returned to Eversby Priory in high spirits. She was full of news to share with her husband... including the fact that the protagonist of Daisy's current novel in progress had been partly inspired by him.
"I had the idea when the subject of your husband came up at a dinner party a few months ago, Evie," Daisy had explained, dabbing at a tiny stain left by a strawberry that had fallen onto her bodice. "Someone remarked that Kingston was still the handsomest man in England, and how unfair it was that he never ages. And Lillian said he must be a vampire, and everyone laughed. It started me thinking about that old novel The Vampyre, published about fifty years ago. I decided to write something similar, only a romantic version."
Lillian had shaken her head at the notion. "I told Daisy no one would want to read about a vampire lover. Blood... teeth..." She grimaced and shivered.
"He enslaves women with his charismatic power," Daisy protested. "He's also a rich, handsome duke- just like Evie's husband."
Annabelle spoke then, her blue eyes twinkling. "In light of all that, one could forgive a bad habit or two."
Lillian gave her a skeptical glance. "Annabelle, could you really overlook a husband who went around sucking the life out of people?"
After pondering the question, Annabelle asked Daisy, "How rich is he?" She ducked with a smothered laugh as Lillian pelted her ~ Lisa Kleypas
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Lisa Kleypas
Too often in the past, I made a public spectacle of myself on the worst possible occasions, in front of the worst possible people. I was an absolute swine. Brawling at parties. Pissing in fountains and vomiting in potted plants. I've slept with other men's wives, I've ruined marriages. It takes years of dedicated effort to discredit one's own name as thoroughly as I did, but by God, I set the bar. There will always be rumors and ugly gossip, and I can't contradict most of it because I was always too drunk to know whether it happened or not. Someday your sons will hear some of it, and any affection they feel for me will turn to ashes. I won't let my shame become their shame."
Phoebe knew if she tried to argue with him point by point, it would only lead to frustration on her part and wallowing on his. She certainly couldn't deny that upper-class society was monstrously judgmental. Some people would perch ostentatiously on their moral pedestals, loudly accusing West while ignoring their own sins. Some people might overlook his blemished reputation if there was any advantage to them in doing so. None of that could be changed. But she would teach Justin and Stephen not to be influenced by hypocritical braying. Kindness and humanity- the values her mother had imparted- would guide them.
"Trust us," she said quietly. "Trust me and my sons to love you. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Lisa Kleypas
To write out the precepts again, we contend with them, and keep them; we build our humanity, and keep our humanity alive ... Thay has named the precepts 'wonderful' ... Wonderful because they can protect us, and show us how to live a joyous life, an interesting, adventurous, deep, large life, and how to be with one another, and with animals, plants, and all the Earth and universe. Wonderful because when we practice the precepts, we existentially become humane, we embody loving kindness ... Standing in the midst of burning ruins, I was glad that I knew the precepts. Though I kept their tenets imperfectly, even in aspiration I created some invisible good that could not be destroyed ... The Five Wonderful Precepts give clear and simple directions to finding that life. In devastation, I have blueprints for making home anew (90-92).
For a Future to Be Possible: Commentaries on the Five Wonderful Precepts ~ Maxine Hong Kingston
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Maxine Hong Kingston
Even though I'm resting I'm accomplishing something by sewing that shirt that I've been meaning to sew for weeks. And it's relaxing. It's so very meditative and quiet and enjoyable. But at least I'm producing something. I'm being productive in some way. I have a very hard time being completely idle. ~ Evangeline Lilly
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Evangeline Lilly
You light a fire in me, Evangeline, one I can't put out, one I don't want to. I wish I could show you how I feel. ~ Penelope Ward
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Penelope Ward
The weak can often become strong in the hands of the unscrupulous. ~ Charles Kingston
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Charles Kingston
I would love to pretend I don't diet, but I work very hard. I stay active and eat very healthy. Anybody who says otherwise is either unhealthy or lying! I will admit that I'm addicted to sugar - licorice, Jujubees and jelly candies. And I actually love bran muffins! ~ Evangeline Lilly
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Evangeline Lilly
Somebody could take a picture of me from across the room, and I would feel like I wanted to rip their face off. ~ Evangeline Lilly
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Evangeline Lilly
Gods you avoid won't hurt you. ~ Maxine Hong Kingston
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Maxine Hong Kingston
I love that you're mine. I've never had anything for myself. Not one fucking thing, Evangeline. I love that when I finally have something, it's you. Your body. Your mind. Your heart. I'm going after that you know. Your heart. ~ Christine Feehan
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Christine Feehan
Operation Pedro Pan
It was like a raging wildfire that the Radio Swan story spread throughout Cuba! Many affluent Cubans, convinced that their children would actually be sent to Moscow for political indoctrination, panicked and sent their children to Florida. In all, as many as 14,000 Cuban children were airlifted to Miami, under a program named "Operation Peter Pan." During the next two years, British Airways, under charter, flew many of the children to the United States by way of Kingston, Jamaica.
The unaccompanied children started arriving in Miami in October of 1960. They arrived in waves, with the children of the more affluent families coming first. Their parents trusted their friends and family in the United States to take care of their children. Since the Castro régime was having economic difficulties very few people thought that it would last as long as it did. Most of them still believed that Castro was just a passing phenomenon until a counter-revolution would depose him. ~ Hank Bracker
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Hank Bracker
Upon Good Earth, lay the body down,
open the mouth wide, let song rush through. ~ Maxine Hong Kingston
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Maxine Hong Kingston
Even when I was at school, I wanted to be liked by everyone, even the bullies. I didn't like them, but I needed to know that they liked me. ~ Alex Kingston
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Alex Kingston
I make sure I always surround myself with good, down to earth, fun, real people, who always keep me grounded. ~ Sean Kingston
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Sean Kingston
I love that your mine. I've never had anything for myself. Not one fucking thing, Evangeline. I love that when I finally have something, it's you. Your body. Your mind, Your heart. I'm going after that you know. ~ Christine Feehan
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Christine Feehan
There just seems to be ... I don't know, such a lack of courtesy. A lack of respect between people in general and men and women in particular. Everywhere ~ Evangeline Anderson
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Evangeline Anderson
I was speaking well because I was talking to her; there are people who dry up language. ~ Maxine Hong Kingston
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Maxine Hong Kingston
He asked, looking at her dark-rimmed eyes, "You do not sleep?"
She shivered. "No. I do not want to sleep any more. I sleep too much already. It is so cold, where Quincy sends me in my sleep. Deep into the house, farther in, not into the house we see. It is as if that house were a face, and when you see a face you can't see the brain or the thoughts of the person behind it. And it is so strange - the house inside the house."
********
"How is it strange - this that you call the house inside the house?"
She said vaguely, her eyes growing glassy, "Strange. Shapes change, and sizes. The rooms are different: bigger and blacker and longer and the shadows are full of things. Creatures - or sometimes the rooms get smaller, fewer, and the furnishings change and change, like the scenes in a kaleidoscope, and I see the people in the portraits walking about in them. ~ Evangeline Walton
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Evangeline Walton
Marriage encourages the men and women who together create life to unite in a bond for the protection of children. ~ Jack Kingston
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Jack Kingston
She beckoned her court forward.
Then smiled at Dorian and Chaol, at Yrene and Nesryn and Sartaq and their companions. And beckoned them forward, too.
Brows rising, they approached.
But Aelin, crowned and glowing, only said, "Walk with me." She gestured to the gates behind her. "All of you."
This day did not belong to her alone. Not at all.
And when they all balked, Aelin walked forward. Took Yrene Westfall by the hand to guide her to the front. Then Manon Blackbeak. Elide Lochan. Lysandra. Evangeline. Nesryn Faliq. Borte and Hasar and Ansel of Briarcliff. ~ Sarah J. Maas
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Sarah J. Maas
My character is different from all of the Elves you've met before, in that she's really young. And I keep telling journalists this because I've really focused on that in my performance. I'm trying to distinguish her from all of these incredibly sage and wise Elves that have lived for thousands of years. ~ Evangeline Lilly
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Evangeline Lilly
I know I can never work in a comedy because I can't keep a goddamn straight face. ~ Evangeline Lilly
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Evangeline Lilly
What they don't know won't hurt htem. You're not hurting anyone by doing what you love and being around people that make you happy. ~Evangeline ~ Penelope Ward
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Penelope Ward
Your mind and soul are the kings of your physique way more than any exercise you do. ~ Evangeline Lilly
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Evangeline Lilly
I got the script for 'Real Steel.' I started reading and saw that it was about robot boxing, and I was immediately turned off. It's not my thing. But I continued on, and by the time I got to the end of the script, I had chicken skin and tears in my eyes. I thought, 'Man, we don't make movies like this anymore.' ~ Evangeline Lilly
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Evangeline Lilly
I say no to photographs. When people take my picture, I feel like they've taken a piece of me, and I can't get that back. It's soul-draining. ~ Evangeline Lilly
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Evangeline Lilly
Hey." He caught her chin in one hand and lifted it so that she had no choice but to look at him. "It's all right," he rumbled, as though he understood everything. "It's hard at first, admitting you want to give in. To let someone else do whatever they want to you without a fight. But it's okay. Some of us are wired to be submissive, some of us are wired to be dominant. You can't fight what's inside you any more than you can change the color of your eyes or how tall you are. You can try to disguise it, but in the end what you really want always comes through. ~ Evangeline Anderson
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Evangeline Anderson
When alone I am not aware of my race or my sex, both in need of social contexts for definition. ~ Maxine Hong Kingston
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Maxine Hong Kingston
Love ... love is understanding. Love is knowing that other person so well, you can anticipate them. Like if someone knows you're uncomfortable, and they loosen your boot strings. Or if he knows you're deeply worried about something, and does his best to remedy it and soothe your fears. ~ Kate Noble
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Kate Noble
God uses some of the worst times to do great things. ~ Molly Evangeline
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Molly Evangeline
I realized that's all I've ever wanted. You're all I've ever wanted, Evangeline. I'm tired of pretending that's not true. I'm tired of thinking I can replace you with someone else. Anyone else. I'm tired of not being with you. ~ D.L. White
Evangeline Kingston quotes by D.L. White
He only knew that she had him so aroused he felt like he could fuck a hole through a concrete wall. ~ Evangeline Anderson
Evangeline Kingston quotes by Evangeline Anderson
I was actually born in deep rural Jamaica and came to Kingston as a high school girl. ~ Portia Simpson-Miller
