But the moods could be contagious. He didn't need one right now. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
Still, he's Emory. He doesn't have to walk her home, especially considering how snitty she was to him. He didn't have to come in and stop her cruelty to Fay, or watch over her as he has evidently been continuing to do, drawing those pictures on the Reeses' sidewalk. She knew the pictures were for her and her children. She and Emory did not always spell things out, but she knew, when he drew pictures, what they meant. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
It dawned on him that the loneliness of marriage, the thing Alice had so feared, starts out of love itself, which can never deliver on its promises. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
You can't drown yourself that simply. All good suicides involve speed and irreversibility, because the body will always move to protect itself against the sicko mind trying to do it in. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
But Iris walks through the project every day. Alice asked, "Isn't it dangerous?" Iris said, "I don't know. I guess it could be, if you're afraid. I'm not because it's just something I've always done. I mean, if you live in it you aren't scared of it. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
Growing up in an old city, you learn history's one true lesson: that history fades. Nothing sticks together for very long without immense effort. His own strong house is in a constant process of disintegration. He calls workmen to come repair the roof, paint the porches, replace sills; but even this work has no permanence, it will have to be done again in four or five years. Is this noble activity for a man? Patching, gluing, temporizing, begging for time? ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
Oh, the world appears to work smoothly enough, like a toy town where the only business is the constant shifting of goods and wastes. If that were all, how easy to live - buy your food, put out the garbage. But the toys and models and dolls and the world's looks are treacherous. They teach children it will be easy. The real problem of consumption and disposal are nothing like what children are led to suspect. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
Why do philosophers in the South so often end as newspapermen, poets as doctors? Maybe they crave what's found in pain and loss: a sense of living among other human beings. They'll give up dreams for that. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
How I Shed My Skin is, simply put, a brilliant book. While I was reading, I kept thinking two things. One, this is totally shocking. Two, it's not at all shocking, but a familiar part of my life and memory. Grimsley's narrative is straightforward and plain-spoken while at the same time achingly moving and intimately honest, and it does more to explain the South than anything I've read in a long, long time. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
Revenge! The stupidest motive on earth, just an attempt to change history. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
I wanted him to be a poet. I wanted him to adventure out into the world and learn its ways, not losing himself in the jumble of life but seeing it in the poet's eye, and withdrawing after in the library room where he could write his poems of revelation. He would tell what he had seen. He never wrote a word in his life. But he did see. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
People Should not be protected from the world.. -It cripples them. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
He was in a state of wonder most of the time, the way a young boy is
engaged by the most ordinary things as if they were great miracles. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
That was one helpful thing he said to her, the first thing that caught her attention. "Start your life." Because she had assumed that her life was over. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
Nineteen and living a life not his own, he was sure enough of his worth to put his name to his work and let it stand for him. Did not even have a wife yet, according to Queen, so it was not love that set him to cutting the pine, but a trust and a longing. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
They sounded frantic; he imagined them driven into the night by a force stronger than hunger or love, flying blind, scared stiff but having no choice in the matter. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
People do sometimes change, of course. Habits, allegiances, dreams are all alterable, but only under extraordinary pressure - like great love, fear, grief. More often, people don't change. A girl who never missed a day of work does not suddenly decide to stay home in bed, for no good reason. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
If she were their mother she'd teach them these things are nothing, the clothes and toys and furniture. These things fool people into thinking they must stay where the things are. Leave it all, she'd teach them, even your hopes, and all the dreams of safe, calm places. Go with what is most terrifying, the dizzying empty night and the lonely stars until night slows and you see the whole design. Always choose love over safety if you can tell the difference ... ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
She knew what she looked like - someone at the edge of catastrophe, someone already flinching from a blow that had not yet been delivered. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
Marry me,' he said. [ ... ]
'No,' she said. 'It scares me.' [ ... ]
'What aspect of it scares you?'
'The loneliness. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
It isn't that nothing is left. It is that what remains is such an old sad ghost of the thing that used to be, and he can't bear lying down with the vestiges. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
Bobbie Ann Mason's genius only grows stronger and wiser and funnier with every new book, and Zigzagging Down a Wild Trail is my absolute favorite so far. What an ear she has for the telling phrase, what an eye for the heartbreaking detail. These new stories are stunning. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
Her own dolls were either babies or storybook characters like Cinderella and Snow White who though past childhood were somehow not yet into the world, girls who kept themselves apart from the world without really knowing what for. Now girls know what for. They menstruate when they are ten, and their dolls are sluts. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
She used to be a mathematician. Now she looks for omens and signs. At one time she thought math would clarify the world for her. She knew her link to real things was weak [ ... ] She had hoped knowledge of mathematics, the world's rules, might strengthen her hold. But it did not. The world turned opaque and medieval, its every event mysterious. Now she uses a private mathematics, one made from omens and signs and dreams. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
The shape of his head, the set of his shoulders are a pattern she could recognize and love out of a crowd of shadows. ~ Josephine Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Humphreys
Poetry is like walking along a little, tiny, narrow ridge up on a precipice. You never know the next step, whether there's going to be a plunge. I think poetry is dangerous. There's nothing mild and predictable about poetry. ~ Josephine Jacobsen
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Jacobsen
I'm still a little hungry." She shot a sly glance at Ronan before tangling her fingers in his. "Not quite sure what I want, though."
"Could've fooled me," Ronan murmured. ~ Sara Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Sara Humphreys
The law is not abstract, impartially arbitrating between conflicting social classes; it is a tool in the hands of those who govern. ~ Josephine Herbst
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Herbst
There's a war coming, isn't there? ~ Josephine Angelini
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Angelini
Start with a small product in lab environment and grow it! ~ Colin Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Colin Humphreys
When she got downstairs, the whole family was in the kitchen, including Lucas. His face lit up like Vegas when he saw her. She automatically went straight to him and sat down, her hopes of a quiet escape ruined by what felt like a knee-jerk reaction. She hadn't intended to stay for breakfast, but it was almost as if she needed to be near him. ~ Josephine Angelini
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Angelini
Before night,' as Nanny used to say of too exuberant children. ~ Josephine Tey
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Tey
Kerry pretended to ignore Dante ~ Sara Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Sara Humphreys
Jeff's fingers pinched around Eddie's nostrils as he pushed deep into Eddie's throat. There was no way of getting any air into his lungs. No way of moving even.
Eddie had never felt safer in his life.
Total, utter trust. ~ Josephine Myles
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Myles
But - I'm leaving."
Not without me. ~ Josephine Angelini
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Angelini
Sex was a pleasurable form of exercise, like dancing. ~ Josephine Baker
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Baker
All my life, I have maintained that the people of the world can learn to live together in peace if they are not brought up in prejudice. ~ Josephine Baker
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Baker
I wondered if villainy was like Armstrong Feint, someone once kind and gentle who lowered himself into treachery, or more like a mysterious beast, hidden in the depths and summoned to wickedness. But all these questions seemed wrong. They weren't my job. Like Hector and Widdershins, like Josephine and Monty and the rest of my associates, my job was not to ask questions about villainy, but to try and repair its damage. ~ Lemony Snicket
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Lemony Snicket
I'd run you know. It's like when you're really busy doing something and you don't have time to think about things. Well, I'd run and run and run so I couldn't think. ~ Melina Marchetta
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Melina Marchetta
A concealed truth, that's all a lie is. Either by omission or commission we never do more than obscure. The truth stays in the undergrowth, waiting to be discovered. ~ Josephine Hart
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Hart
Good. Drink your tea," he ordered. "It will make you feel better."
Nothing will make me feel better, she thought, but she drank it down. It was hot and sweet. Mr. Humphreys must have put his entire month's sugar ration into it.
She drained the cup, feeling ashamed of herself. She wasn't the only one who'd had a bad night. ~ Connie Willis
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Connie Willis
Didn't I tell you I love you?"
"Yes."
"I meant all of you. Even the weird bits. ~ Josephine Angelini
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Angelini
I don't know which end is up. One minute I want to kiss the life out of her, and the next she frustrates the hell out of me. I don't know if I should scratch my watch or wind my ass."
"Welcome to the club, Ronan." Gavin laughed and clapped his brother on the shoulder. "That sure sounds like love to me. ~ Sara Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Sara Humphreys
You couldn't lose me, Helen. Not even if you tried," he said, pulling on her arm to bring her closer to him. "And for the record, I aggree with you. I should be more compassionate. I never expected you to think I was perfect. I know I'm not."
"You are to me."
"That's all I care about," Lucas said quietly. "Not-my-cousin Helen. ~ Josephine Angelini
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Angelini
Who? Mr. Dalton has his hand firmly on Grace's elbow, as though she can't manoeuvre herself through the blockade of tables and chairs.
She could fly right through you, thinks Jack. ~ Helen Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Helen Humphreys
For Liz, all American men were divided into two classes: those who treated you as if you were a frail old lady, and those who treated you as if you were just frail. ~ Josephine Tey
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Tey
No need to be embarassed. After seeing you in my cousin's nightgown, you've got nothing to hide. But why were you crying in the shower?" he murmured into her hair. She could feel his lips moving against her scalp, and feel the press of his hips through the covers, but his arms were an unyielding cage. She tried to turn over to face him, to welcome him under the covers with her, but he wouldn't let her.

"I was crying because I'm frustrated! Why are you doing this?" she whispered into her pillow.

"We can't, Helen," was all he said. He kissed her neck and said he was sorry over and over, but try as she might, he wouldn't let her face him. She began to feel like she was being used.

"Please be patient," he begged as he stopped her hand from reaching back to touch him. She tried to sit up, to push him out of her bed, anything but suffer lying next to someone who would play with her so terribly. They wrestled a bit, but he was much better at it than she was and felt even heavier than he looked. He easily blocked every attempt she made to wrap her arms or legs or lips around him.

"Do you want me at all, or do you just think it's fun to tease me like this?" she asked, feeling rejected and humiliated. "Won't you even kiss me?" She finally struggled onto her back where she could at least see his face.

"If I kiss you, I won't stop," he said in a desperate whisper as he propped himself up on his elbows to look her in the eye.

Josephine Angelini
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Angelini
She believes in the words of her fortune teller, but really, anyone could have told her that if you have to stop doing the thing you love, it will kill you. ~ Helen Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Helen Humphreys
They were wrapped in each other's arms, lips and tongues dancing, and their hands exploring each other with wild abandon. With a wave of his hand and a seductively wicked wink, he divested them both of their clothing, ~ Sara Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Sara Humphreys
This going around with boys makes me sick," said Tacy.
"I like Herbert Humphreys," said Tib.
It was just like Tib to like a boy and say so.
"Oh, if you have to have a boy around, it might as well be Herbert," said Betsy, who liked him too.
"He wears cute clothes," said Tacy, blushing.
Herbert Humphreys, who had come to Deep Valley from St. Paul, wore knickerbockers. The other boys in their grade wore plain short pants. ~ Maud Hart Lovelace
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Maud Hart Lovelace
The jury, having swallowed at one nauseating gulp the business of viewing the body, had settled into their places with that air of conscious importance and simulated modesty which belongs to those initiated into a mystery. ~ Josephine Tey
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Tey
A moan escaped her lips when he brushed the back of his knuckles up her neck before gently cupping her face.
"I never run from a challenge," Sadie murmured. She pressed her breasts against him, the soft mounds of flesh searing against him.
Killian felt like he was in the middle of a game of double dog dare
and it was a surefire bet he was going to lose. Sadie signed, a seductive sounds that made his cock twitch.
Oh yeah. Dead wolf walking. ~ Sara Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Sara Humphreys
Nothing in this world came out of satisfaction. Except the human race. ~ Josephine Tey
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Tey
Dakota pulled a lollipop out of his pocket before quickly unwrapping it and popping it into his mouth.
What kind of vampire sucks on human candy? ~ Sara Humphreys
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Sara Humphreys
Zach drinks from the River of Joy, I swear it. Rest now, niece. ~ Josephine Angelini
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Angelini
To be a great artist, you have to be willing to take risks and to do things that no one would ever pay you for
at first. ~ Josephine Decker
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Decker
I'm a witch and witches burn. ~ Josephine Angelini
Josephine Humphreys quotes by Josephine Angelini
