Bodybuilding has been the tool that single-handedly taught a little black boy from the projects to use his mind to achieve success. it taught me to see things for what they can be. I had 17-inch arms; I imagined them to be 24 inches. The power of my mind allowed me to achieve what I imagined. ~ Kai Greene
Kai quotes by Kai Greene
Will there be enough to go around, or must we compete for our kills?"
"Unfortunately, I suspect there will be plenty, but that really depends on how many of you are willing to come." And that's when I lost track of who was speaking. They called out from everywhere, having apparently forgotten I was even there.
"All of us!"
"We will all go ... "
"It's only far ... "
"Someone must stay with the children ... "
"Someone must stay to hunt ... "
"Then we'll draw quills. Feathers into the pile! The twenty drawn will go and fight!"
"Wait!" I had to shout to be heard. "Don't you want the details?"
Kai frowned, one of the few birds paying me any attention. "No. We want the fight, and the feast."
"No! I said there will be no feasting! It's a war, not a f***ing dinner banquet!" I threw up my hands in exasperation.
Mentioning war to a Flight of thunderbirds was evidently like dangling candy in front of a class full of children! Ruthless, deadly children ... ~ Rachel Vincent
Kai quotes by Rachel Vincent
Government acquisition of food supplies in time of war is no less important than conscription. Equity is the fundamental principle applicable to both these essential phases of war administration. ~ Chiang Kai-shek
Kai quotes by Chiang Kai-shek
Wolf took Scarlet's hands into his, as tenderly as he would pick up an injured butterfly, and slid the band onto her finger. His voice was rough and wavering as he recited - "I, Ze'ev Kesley, do hereby claim you, Scarlet Benoit, as my wife and my Alpha. Forevermore, you will be my mate, my star, my beginning of everything." He smiled down at her, his eyes swimming with emotion. Scarlet returned the look, and though Wolf's expression teetered between proud and bashful, Scarlet's face contained nothing but joy. "You are the one. You have always been, and you will always be, the only one.
Scarlet took the second ring - a significantly larger version of the same unadorned band - and pressed it onto Wolf's finger. "I, Scarlet Benoit, do hereby claim you, Ze'ev Kesley, as my husband and my Alpha. Forevermore, you will be my mate, my star, my beginning of everything. You are the one. You have always been, and you will always be, the only one."
Wolf folded his hands around hers. From where she sat, Cinder could see that he was shaking.
Kai grinned. "By the power given to me by the people of Earth, under the laws of the Earthen Union and as witnessed by those gathered here today, I do now pronounce you husband and wife." He spread his hands in invitation. "You may kiss your - "
Wolf wrapped his arms around Scarlet's waist, lifting her off the floor, and kissed her before Kai could finish. Or maybe she kissed him. It seemed mutual, as her hands wound through his dis ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
When you write, you are telling a story ... to yourself. When you revise, you are telling a story to yourself ... over and over again. ~ Kai Strand
Kai quotes by Kai Strand
I'm going to make it a law that the correct way to address your sovereign is my giving a high five.' Kai's smiled brightened. 'That's genius. Me too. ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
It's me, Kai. I'm Princess Selene." - Cinder
"This whole time, it was you. - Kai
"You're actually taking this better than I thought you would." - Cinder ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
Most would only ever guess at who and what was most precious to them-up until the day of loss: then they'd know-and most would also have to guess at why and how, or what might have been. They could never truly know, not as one who'd lived both paths, seen two lives. That crazed noise was his own laughter. ~ Kai Ashante Wilson
Kai quotes by Kai Ashante Wilson
You mean she doesn't intend to blow me up before the ceremony?" said Kai,taking the box."How disappointing. ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
The person with the biggest dreams is more powerful than the person with all the answers. ~ Kai Greene
Kai quotes by Kai Greene
That's the difference between love and hunger," she says. "Hunger is a story you gt stuck in. Love's the story that takes you somewhere new. ~ Kai Cheng Thom
Kai quotes by Kai Cheng Thom
Excellent," said Cinder, standing up and brushing off her hands. "I was beginning to worry we wouldn't have a pilot for when it's time to take Kai back to Earth. Now I just have to worry about not having a competent one. ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
Get out, realize your dream, and go for it ~ Kai Greene
Kai quotes by Kai Greene
Let us go somewhere and talk," Kopano said to Kaidan.
"We can talk here. She never uses her senses."
Whoops. I was officially eavesdropping, but I didn't feel guilty. I was too desperate for insight into Kaidan's mind. They spoke in low tones, hard to hear with the rush of rainwater.
"Do not be upset, Kai. I feel only concern for her."
"I'll bet you do."
Kaidan's clipped, harsh response was in direct contrast to Kopano's tranquil words.
"Even you are willing to risk yourself for her, brother."
"That's because I actually know her. What's your reason? I suppose you'd like to get to know her, too?"
"You have made it very clear that she is not available in that way. Be reasonable. There is plainly more at stake here. I only wished to help."
"There's nothing you can do, Kope!"
They got quiet and I could hear Kaidan's ragged breaths through his nose.
"Please trust me, brother," Kopano said. "There is no stronger weapon for Pharzuph to use than your concern for each other. If he learns that you were here to console her, you will lose all leverage with him. Do not fool yourself into thinking he will not discard you."
"Yes, some of us have to worry about such things. Thank you for the reminder."
The sounds that came next iced my blood: heavy footfalls crashing into puddles, and the metallic zing of a switchblade. I stood up with a hand to my heart. Then there was a deep, gruff chuckle. My father's.
"Put it away, boy ~ Wendy Higgins
Kai quotes by Wendy Higgins
Merle had the feeling that he almost kissed her, but then his lips only touched her hair briefly, and all she could think of was that she hadn't washed it for days. It was crazy, really. Here they were, all trapped in this accursed sphinx stronghold, and she was thinking about washing her hair! Was that what being in love did to you? And then, was it being in love that was responsible for the lump in her throat and the fluttering in her stomach? ~ Kai Meyer
Kai quotes by Kai Meyer
The reality is that Israel is a multi-ethnic, multireligious society, and it makes no sense to insist as a precondition for peace that its neighbors recognize it as 'the Jewish state.' ~ Kai Bird
Kai quotes by Kai Bird
The deviant and the conformist ... are creatures of the same culture, inventions of the same imagination. ~ Kai Theodor Erikson
Kai quotes by Kai Theodor Erikson
Kai caught himself before he could smile at the memory of Cinder, shy and stammering. ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
The modern world is one wherein every nation has to develop the strength of which its citizens are capable. The independent status of the individual, his thoughts and actions become a thing of the past. ~ Chiang Kai-shek
Kai quotes by Chiang Kai-shek
In the resolved quiet of the heart it was possible to say "Give up; it's done," but in practice, hopelessness was too bitter wine for drinking day after day. One would steal a little sip of sweetness and wonder, "What if...? ~ Kai Ashante Wilson
Kai quotes by Kai Ashante Wilson
So, Mr Oh Sehun." Kai called, grinning like an idiot. "Tell me more about you."

"Why would I?"

"So that I can distract myself from my shitty life. But please, no bluh bluh X plus 5X equals to 8 shit."

Sehun blinked his eyes at how Kai said that. This was the first time he had found the guy to be cute. "For your information, X plus 5X is not equivalent to 8. ~ FishMeAnEXo
Kai quotes by FishMeAnEXo
You could move to Europe."
"You know, I've actually been considering that lately."
Kai laughed again, the warmth returning to the sound. "If that's not a vote of confidence, I don't know what is. ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
You have no power here," Jace said. His voice quivered less than Kai expected.
Ms. Kevarian cocked her head to one side. "Interesting assertion. I can speak, at least, and words have power wherever they are heard. ~ Max Gladstone
Kai quotes by Max Gladstone
I am a believer, I am believer that we shape and create the life that we choose, and I believe that the tool that we have to do that, is our mind. ~ Kai Greene
Kai quotes by Kai Greene
As Kai Erikson has put it, traumatised people 'may be said to have experienced not only a) a changed sense of self and b) a changed way of relating to others but c) a changed world view altogether'. In that first ~ Robert Kenny
Kai quotes by Robert Kenny
Pete and Repeat, huh? Which one are you?"
"Repeat of course. He's a day older than me. I came after him." - Kai and Andy ~ H.R. Willaston
Kai quotes by H.R. Willaston
At dorm, I prefer practicing than resting. Maybe my practice time could be more than 2,000 hours ~ Kim Jongin Kai EXO
Kai quotes by Kim Jongin Kai EXO
For the body tells all to him who knows the language, and doesn't lie. ~ Kai Ashante Wilson
Kai quotes by Kai Ashante Wilson
This showed once again that everyone had something different to lose in this battle. Some were concerned for their lives, and some for those they cared most about: rays, sea horses, even the chickens that ran free in the streets of the city because they couldn't all be caught in time. ~ Kai Meyer
Kai quotes by Kai Meyer
She felt the press of time as keenly as Kai had. She'd already wasted too much of it. Kissing Thorne in the atrium. Hiding in that cabinet. Dodging in and out of corridors like a lost rabbit. ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
Mad things could be quite normal, so long as you were doing them yourself. Watching someone else doing them, you wrinkled your nose, turned around quickly, and walked away. ~ Kai Meyer
Kai quotes by Kai Meyer
Was a mirror that existed only in a mirror not just as real as its original? It fulfilled its role just as well as its counterpart - it reflected. Merle couldn't think of anything else that was able to do this: to do something without itself being. For the first time, she asked herself whether all mirrors were not always magic mirrors. "Mirrors can see," Arcimboldo had said. Now she believed him. ~ Kai Meyer
Kai quotes by Kai Meyer
You want to know another secret? The biggest secret?" She sat, splaying her legs like a broken doll in front of her. "I'm scared, Kai. I'm so scared. ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
If they [won], it would only be because they didn't forget what they were. Who they were. And that it was worth it to fight just for that. ~ Kai Meyer
Kai quotes by Kai Meyer
There are no happy endings for such as us, Chella. No redemption. Not with our sins. Any joy is borrowed - laughter shared on the road, and left behind." He turned to Kai. "I have killed children, Kai Summerson. In such company you will too. ~ Mark Lawrence
Kai quotes by Mark Lawrence
Right,' said Kai, 'that'll be no problem in a city of two and a half million people. Let me just go dig out my special Lunar detector, and I'll get right on that. ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
Jolly felt salty tears on her lips, and for the first time in her life it occurred to her that sorrow tasted exactly like the sea. ~ Kai Meyer
Kai quotes by Kai Meyer
Sometimes responsibility sneaked up on you without your seeing it coming, and then, very suddenly, it wouldn't let you go anymore. ~ Kai Meyer
Kai quotes by Kai Meyer
My good health is due to a soup made of white doves. It is simply wonderful as a tonic. ~ Chiang Kai-shek
Kai quotes by Chiang Kai-shek
How was the flight?" Kai whispered, standing so close she imagined she could feel the vibrations of his heart in the air between them.
"Oh, you know," Cinder murmured back. "Thorne was flying, so it was a constant stream of near-death experiences. How's emperor life?"
"Oh, you know. Press conferences. Cabinet meetings. Adoring fans everywhere I go."
"So also a constant stream of near-death experiences?"
"Pretty much. ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
Sorry," she said. "I'm kind of hiding. Would you believe that when you're royalty, it is really difficult to find a moment of privacy?" Smirking, Kai shut the door behind him. He kept a hand behind his back as he came toward her. "Might I suggest getting yourself a hooded sweatshirt? It makes a surprisingly adequate disguise. ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
Other girls carried tasers or pepper spray for safety. Rosa had bought herself a stapler in a hardware store on the corner of Baltic and Clinton Streets. Her thinking was simple. An electric shock is nasty but leaves no marks. With her method, though, she could put two or three staples into any attacker's body. Then he'd have to stop and decide whether to tangle with her or start getting the staples out of his skin. ~ Kai Meyer
Kai quotes by Kai Meyer
It'll be hard not to tease your folk sometimes."

Brishen couldn't imagine how she might go about such a thing. He had no idea if the Kai and the Gauri even knew the same jokes or found the same things funny. "What do you mean?"

He almost leapt out of his skin when Ildiko stared at him as both of her eyes drifted slowly down and over until they seemed to meet together, separated only by the elegant bridge of her nose.

"Lover of thorns and holy gods!" he yelped and clapped one hand across her eyes to shut out the sight. "Stop that," he ordered.

Ildiko laughed and pushed his hand away. She laughed even harder when she caught sight of his expression. "Wait," she gasped on a giggle. "I can do better. Want to see me make one eye cross and have the other stay still?"

Brishen reared back. "No!" He grimaced. "Nightmarish. I'll thank you to keep that particular talent to yourself, wife. ~ Grace Draven
Kai quotes by Grace Draven
Sehun love Kai." he brushed his fingers on the gravestone. "Kai love Sehun."

"Sooooo much, Sehun... ~ FishMeAnEXo
Kai quotes by FishMeAnEXo
Thanks," she murmured, fighting the urge to embrace him, to crawl into his arms and hide from the rest of the galaxy. Maybe forever. "Also" - his voice lowered - "you look beautiful." It was Iko who responded, "Thank you for noticing." Kai ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
Because of my intense hopes for the youth of China, I feel very keenly my responsibility for their future success or failure. The fate of China lies in their hands. The responsibility for organizing and training them to become worthy citizens of China, able to undertake the tasks of Resistance and Reconstruction, is mine; I cannot evade it. ~ Chiang Kai-shek
Kai quotes by Chiang Kai-shek
They stared at each other and then, at last, Kai closed his eyes and nodded his head, just once. The estates would always win. ~ Diana Peterfreund
Kai quotes by Diana Peterfreund
The truth is, simply incorporating game mechanics and game elements does not make a game fun. ~ Yu-kai Chou
Kai quotes by Yu-kai Chou
I go walking, and the hills loom above me, range upon range, one against the other. I cannot tell where one begins and another leaves off. But when I talk with God He lifts me up where I can see clearly, where everything has a distinct contour. ~ Chiang Kai-shek
Kai quotes by Chiang Kai-shek
Although I went to college in the United States - Carleton in Northfield, Minnesota - I returned to the Middle East for a year in 1970-71 to study at the American University of Beirut. ~ Kai Bird
Kai quotes by Kai Bird
They would all reach the next wells alive, said Master Suresh, so long as grown men didn't sit and weep, boo hoo hoo like some sad whore, her six best boys lost this week to marriage. We must do now as she did then: dry the tears, and hustle! ~ Kai Ashante Wilson
Kai quotes by Kai Ashante Wilson
It's like killing each other is the only thing we know how to do. ~ Faith Erin Hicks
Kai quotes by Faith Erin Hicks
Wait," Kaidan called from behind me. I squeezed my eyes shut for a second, but kept walking. Then I felt his hand around my
wrist, spinning me in a half circle and pulling me to his chest. His face was so close. He reached down and cupped my face with one
woolly hand, and wiped the top corner of my lip hard with his thumb. I flinched back.
"What are you doing?"
"I ... " He appeared to have no idea himself. "I wanted to see your freckle."
A vulnerable tenderness flashed across his face, more painful to see than the coldness. It took every ounce of strength I had not to
beg for one last kiss. As fast as his expression had softened, it was back to stone again.
"What do you want from me, Kai?"
"For starters?" His voice lowered to sexy, dangerous depths. "I want to introduce myself to every freckle on your body."
A powerful shiver ripped through me. ~ Wendy Higgins
Kai quotes by Wendy Higgins
It had been a long time since Kai had seen that expression on his adviser. The expression that indicated he thought Kai was a moron. ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
Well, when it gets to that point, I want to be there.

When what gets to what point?

When you're not looking at everyone else as if they'd just declared war on you. And when you realise that things may look like the end of the world but the world still goes on, over there on the other side. ~ Kai Meyer
Kai quotes by Kai Meyer
I know this is stupid, but part of me felt like if I could come see you today, if I could convince you to go with me tonight, then maybe I could still change things. It's dumb, I know. It's not like Levana cares if I, you know, might have actual feelings for someone. ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
If you don't believe you can do something then you can't. ~ Kai Greene
Kai quotes by Kai Greene
I want to take their money and let them build their ship and get off my land. That's all I want."
"Good to know," said a voice above her head.
Elliot and Dee looked up, and there, shadowed against the light from the swinging sun-lamps, stood Kai. ~ Diana Peterfreund
Kai quotes by Diana Peterfreund
Adrian's tone suggested that the desire for something was all it took. They all live with endless possibilities, leave their homes for the sake of something new. But the dream is woven from the fabric of freedom. For desire to exist it requires the element of possibility, and that for Kai has never existed, until now ... ~ Aminatta Forna
Kai quotes by Aminatta Forna
Books are like this magical window that you can open no matter where you are and you fall into a different place that´s better than the one you´re trapped in. ~ Kai Cheng Thom
Kai quotes by Kai Cheng Thom
And however it is that you think you still feel about me, I can assure you it's nothing more than a classic case of someone who wants the one thing she can't have. If you had me and got it out of your system, you'd realize the good boy's the one you really want. ~ Wendy Higgins
Kai quotes by Wendy Higgins
For a period of 17 years - from the age of 9 until I was 25 years old - my mother never spent a day free from domestic difficulties. ~ Chiang Kai-shek
Kai quotes by Chiang Kai-shek
I know the dangers and the seductions of the Middle East. It is part of my identity. I grew up among a people who routinely referred to the creation of the State of Israel as the Nakba - the catastrophe. And yet I fell in love with and married a Jewish American woman, the only daughter of two Holocaust survivors, both Jewish Austrians. ~ Kai Bird
Kai quotes by Kai Bird
The mind is everything. If you don't believe you can do something then you can't. If you believe that your upbringing was substandard and therefore you have to walk around as a refugee from that crisis situation for the rest of your life, forever bearing the burden of that experience then that will be YOUR life. ~ Kai Greene
Kai quotes by Kai Greene
We don't know what it's like not to be in love with you. We loved you the moment you looked at us, held our hand, danced dirty, kissed us. We were lost in you way before we even met, before the thought crossed your mind that you were bored and we were vaguely good-looking, interesting, exotic, fuckable. While you were weighing options, we were just hoping it wouldn't hurt too much - the fucking, or the falling in love, or the rejection. We didn't get to choose. - Kai Cheng Thom to -----, 2013 (age 22) ~ Jeanette Lynes
Kai quotes by Jeanette Lynes
Come on, Kai ... my freckles are getting impatient.
Bloody hell ... did my little vixen just tell me to hurry up? ~ Wendy Higgins
Kai quotes by Wendy Higgins
gods could only carry away Homo celestialis with them, you see, because the angels had already learned to make their bodies light. But most sapiens - even those of us with fully expressed theogenetica - haven't yet attained the psionic phylogeny necessary to sublimnify the organism. ~ Kai Ashante Wilson
Kai quotes by Kai Ashante Wilson
Cinder hurried to join her, eager to see what the boys had done. But when she stepped into the sitting room, it was not the decorations that caught her attention first, but Wolf, standing in front of the fireplace altar in his formal black-and-red tuxedo. Thought it had been made especially for him, the jacket still stretched across his broad chest and shoulders, and the red bow tie was almost humorous against his fierce features and lupine bone structure.
Almost.
Despite everything Levana had tried to do to him, Cinder had to admit that he was still handsome, with his olive skin and vivid green eyes and unkempt hair. Most of all, though, it was the look he was giving Scarlet, which would have taken away the breath of any girl.
Kai and Thorne were there, too, each of them standing with their hands in their pockets, rocking back on their heels with supremely smug looks on their faces, like they were daring anyone to suggest it wasn't the most beautiful impromptu wedding ever created. ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
Patriotism demands of us sustained sacrifice. ~ Chiang Kai-shek
Kai quotes by Chiang Kai-shek
Everyone, even Kai, looks like a tourist in a snorkel mask. And maybe we are all tourists in this underwater world - snorkels are our temporary visas, allowing us to visit this mysterious country for brief slices of time. ~ Dallas Woodburn
Kai quotes by Dallas Woodburn
If imperialism is not banished from the country, China will perish as a nation. If China does not perish, then imperialism cannot remain. ~ Chiang Kai-shek
Kai quotes by Chiang Kai-shek
She was desperate to see Kai again. To kiss him. To be in his arms. To laugh at his ironic jokes and watch his eyes crinkle when he laughed at hers. It ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
Some dry leaf blows into a campfire well-stoked and drawing well. What follows? That leaf catches at once, swiftly is consumed, a shadow withering briefly in the fierce light, and thereafter little remains, not cinder and ash so much as smudges of char. ~ Kai Ashante Wilson
Kai quotes by Kai Ashante Wilson
A sanctuary is a place where the door only locks from the inside ~ Kai Cheng Thom
Kai quotes by Kai Cheng Thom
There'd never been anyone who could knife him so with a momentary word, and then speak the wound away in the very next moment. If all those little boyhood heartbreaks had been supposed to make him ready for this, Demane wasn't. ~ Kai Ashante Wilson
Kai quotes by Kai Ashante Wilson
Upon his return to New York, Robert opened his mail to learn that Ernest Rutherford had rejected him. "Rutherford wouldn't have me," Oppenheimer recalled. "He didn't think much of Bridgman and my credentials were peculiar. ~ Kai Bird
Kai quotes by Kai Bird
At nearly three in the morning sleepiness weighted my body as we lay there together so still. I heard his breathing even out as we both hovered in that place between wake and sleep. And then his hand wandered lazily down my back and over my hip until he was cupping the full curve of my behind, part of me that he'd actively avoided touching all night.
Scratch that sleepy thing.
His firm hands clutched me closer and I breathed a heady gust of air at his throat. I'd been careful all night not to be too vocal about how good his touches felt. I knew each noise would act as fuel, making it even harder for him. He rolled to his back, pulling me on top of him with both hands fully on my backside now.
"Kaidan," I whispered.
Looking half-asleep, he shushed me with a hot kiss, pulling my hips to crush us together. I whimpered into his mouth.
"God, those little sounds," he said against my lips. "I want to hear how you sound when I make you - "
"Kai!" I practically leaped off him, and he sat up, eyes blazing, licking his lips. I was breathing hard. He had to be as tired as me after our long day, and it was starting to weaken us big-time. Oh, how I'd love to indulge that weakness.
I scooted farther away.
"Maybe we should try to get some sleep," I suggested, though I was feeling wide-awake now.
He stared at me with roaring passion. "I think a third shower might be necessary," he said.
A silly laugh wanted to escape me, but there was no humor ~ Wendy Higgins
Kai quotes by Wendy Higgins
The man, a huge grin spreading over his face, was slower to stand, first grabbing a cane from against the wall. "Welcome aboard the Rampion, Your Magesticness. Captain Carswell Thorne, at your service." He bowed. ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
The desperation melted and, for the briefest of moments, the ulterior motives were gone. She found herself kissing him for no other reason than she wanted to. She wanted him to know that she wanted to. She didn't realize how badly she wanted Kai to kiss her back until it became quite clear that he wouldn't. ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
Um. Your Majesty?"
Starting, he whipped his gaze back to the blonde girl.
"Would you like me to take you to the podship dock?"
He forced his hands to unclench, reminding himself that he was the ruler of the Eastern Commonwealth and would behave accordingly, even among criminals and monsters.
"Thank you," he gasped. "That would be appreciated. ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
I don't see that her being cyborg is relevant. ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
She struggled to find words, and then all the anger she had been damming up for the last few minutes broke out. It made no difference that none of what had happened was his fault. Nor did the fact that he'd saved her, or what he had sacrificed to do it. He was a Carnevare. He was one of them. And he was preventing her from going to her sister's aid when Zoe needed her.
"The girl that Cesare killed … ," she snapped, "her name was Lilia. She … she loved my sister. Do you understand that? Zoe has just lost the person who probably meant more to her than anything else. And Lilia sacrificed herself for me. How can you think that - "
"I'd have done the same thing," he interrupted her calmly. "I'd have died for you up on that mountain."
That took her breath away. For a moment it deprived her not only of her self-control, but of the ability to utter another syllable.
After endless seconds, she stammered, "That - that's nonsense."
"It's the truth." He turned his head and looked at her. "I'm in love with you, Rosa."
She hesitated, fighting for composure.
"Oh, hell," she whispered.
He smiled sadly.
Then neither of them said anything, until finally she took his cell phone and called Zoe. ~ Kai Meyer
Kai quotes by Kai Meyer
Character cannot be counterfeited, nor can it be put on and cast off as if it were a garment to fit the whim of the moment. Day by day we become what we do. This is the supreme law and logic of life. ~ Chiang Kai-shek
Kai quotes by Chiang Kai-shek
Landowners and influential men of all kinds, especially members of political councils, ought to set an example to the people. The young members of rich families should offer themselves for military service. If not one of two sons, at least one of three sons should be ready to do so. ~ Chiang Kai-shek
Kai quotes by Chiang Kai-shek
Give me fifty DC-3's and the Japanese can have the Burma Road. ~ Chiang Kai-shek
Kai quotes by Chiang Kai-shek
China is the largest and most ancient of Asiatic countries, but it is not for us boastfully to talk of her right to a position of 'leadership' among those countries. ~ Chiang Kai-shek
Kai quotes by Chiang Kai-shek
How are you?"
Rosa shrugged her shoulders. "My sister turned into a giant snake last night. And your cousin Tano - "
"Second cousin."
"He was there too. He was a tiger. I recognized him from his eyes. Then I fainted." She looked at him. "How does that sound? ~ Kai Meyer
Kai quotes by Kai Meyer
Ready to s-snuggle?" he asked Kaidan, a slight clatter in his voice. Only Blake could joke on a night like this and get away with it.
Kaidan shook his head and undressed down to his boxers, too, the tension finally shedding away from his frame. "I swear, mate. If I feel something poke me in the back ... "
Blake's laugh was dry. "I'm pretty sure my junk froze off, man, so don't worry. ~ Wendy Higgins
Kai quotes by Wendy Higgins
I'll never be a weightlifter.. ~ Kai Greene
Kai quotes by Kai Greene
But now and for the rest of my life, Kai is the living, breathing address that is my home. She's my entire damn zip code. In ~ Kennedy Ryan
Kai quotes by Kennedy Ryan
Japan cannot conquer China with America in her rear, Soviet Russia on her right and England on her left - her most powerful enemies in the South Sea all flanking her. It is this international situation that constitutes one of Japan's great weaknesses. ~ Chiang Kai-shek
Kai quotes by Chiang Kai-shek
he swooped in, with the same acts dealing death and deliverance. The point and edge of his spear opened red lips in one bandit's throat. Lifesblood ~ Kai Ashante Wilson
Kai quotes by Kai Ashante Wilson
He shook his head. "Have you ever wondered who's in the gaps in the crowd?"
She glanced at him in surprise. Maybe she'd been wrong, and he was more than just a little odd.
"Gaps in the crowd?" she repeated.
"If there are a lot of people all in one place, a hundred or a thousand or more, there'll still be some empty spaces. Gaps right at the front. Or in the middle. Or on the outside. You just have to look carefully to see them." He shifted gears as two heavy trucks appeared side by side ahead of them. "Those are the gaps in the crowd. And if you look very closely, you notice that they're moving about. Just like the people around them."
Rosa pressed her lips together and said, "Hmm," as if she understood what he was talking about.
"They're weird," he said.
"The gaps?"
"Because they're really not empty."
"No?"
"No, they aren't. They're always there, and in other places, too. Around us, but invisible. It's only in a crowd you can see them. No one can move into the places where the gaps are. ~ Kai Meyer
Kai quotes by Kai Meyer
Such eagerness to create space between present self and past sins obliges adults in the room to wonder whether callow youth has really wised up. "What ~ Kai Ashante Wilson
Kai quotes by Kai Ashante Wilson
On the fifth day I knew Kaidan would have made it home. I held my breath and called him. I listened to every charming word of his voice mail, then hung up. That evening I sat on my bed and called again. This time I left a message.

"Hi, Kai, um, Kaidan. It's me. Anna. I'm just trying to see if you made it home safely. I'm sure you probably did. Just checking. You can call me anytime. If you want. Anyway. Okay, bye."

I hung up and buried my shamed face into a pillow. Now I was leaving messages after he'd made it clear he wanted zero to do with me? Next thing I knew I'd be frequenting his shows to give him psycho stares from the back, and then doing late-night drive-bys to see what girl he was bringing home. The thought of him with another girl made me writhe in discomfort and curl up in the fetal position.
Day six was our first day of back-to-school shopping. We still had a month before school began, but the state issued a tax-free day, so stores were having big sales. I eyed all the teensy skirts and fashionable shirts dangling on mannequins. I tried to imagine Kaidan's reaction if I came dressed like that to one of his shows, some guy other than Jay on my arm. Ugly stalker thoughts. I was full of them.
Two weeks passed, and I was still tripping over chairs to grab the phone every time it rang, like now.
This time it was Jay. ~ Wendy Higgins
Kai quotes by Wendy Higgins
We got hungry around three in the morning, and ordered a ton of pizza from an all-night pizza place. Afterward, Blake talked a guy into letting him borrow his skateboard, and he once again entertained all of us. If it had wheels, Blake could work it.
"Is he your boyfriend?" a girl behind me asked.
I turned to the group of girls watching Blake. They were all coifed and beautiful in their bikinis, not having gone in the water. My wet hair was pulled back in a ponytail by this point and I was wrapped in a towel. "No, he's my boyfriend's best friend. We're watching his place while he's . . . out of town."
A pang of fear jabbed me when I thought about Kai.
"What's your name?" asked a brunette with glossy lips.
"Anna." I smiled.
"Hey. I'm Jenny," she said. "This is Daniela and Tara."
"Hey," I said to them.
"So, your boyfriend lives here?" asked the blonde, Daniela. She had a cool accent - something European.
"Yes," I answered, pointing up to his apartment.
The girls all shared looks, raising their sculpted eyebrows.
"Wait," said Jenny. "Is he that guy in the band?"
The third girl, named Tara, gasped. "The drummer?" When I nodded, they shared awed looks.
"Oh my gawd, don't get mad at me for saying this," said Jenny, "but he's a total piece of eye candy." Her friends all laughed.
"Yum drum," whispered Tara, and Daniela playfully shoved her.
Jenny got serious. "But don't worry. He, like, never comes out or talk ~ Wendy Higgins
Kai quotes by Wendy Higgins
I had spent my whole life hungry for forgiveness. It had not come, so I didn't know firsthand what he was feeling. But I had imagined it, over and over. I'd wanted it so bad. I'd wanted Kai - or anyone, anyone who knew the worst in me - to say that I was still dear, and good, and worthy. ~ Joshilyn Jackson
Kai quotes by Joshilyn Jackson
Did you know that she was cyborg?" asked a woman in an unhidden tone of disgust.
Kai stared at her, appearing confused, then let his gaze dance over the crowd. He shuffled his feet
closer to the podium, a wrinkle forming on the bridge of his nose.
Cinder bit the inside of her cheek and braced herself for adamant disgust. Who would ever invite a
cyborg to the ball?
But instead, Kai said simply, "I don't see that her being cyborg is relevant. Next question?"
Cinder's metal fingers jolted. ~ Marissa Meyer
Kai quotes by Marissa Meyer
He held Aden's gaze, the other man's expression unreadable. "It's the alpha's responsibility and his privilege to create that environment - we are the guardians of every heart in our care." Aden Kai might not be changeling, but he was an alpha and he held within his hands the power to change his people from the inside out. ~ Nalini Singh
Kai quotes by Nalini Singh
You can't just fly into the Great Coat, shoot your way into Bluewater, and take Kai and his father,' I told him.
'Why not?'
'Cause you can't. They'll killl you, for one thing.'
Ulysses scratched his beard. 'Hmm. Need a better plan. ~ Cameron Stracher
