She didn't want to think about how wrong this was or how foolish it was to give herself to a known seducer. Because tonight Oliver wasn't that man. Not to her. He was the boy who'd cried over his dead mother, the young man who'd lost himself in drink and women to forget the past, the marquess who'd vowed not to marry for money. He was the man to be her lover. ~Sabrina Jeffries

The success of the dinner depends as much upon the company as the cook. Discordant elements, people invited alphabetically, or to pay off debts, are fatal. ~Ward McAllister

"A woman doesn't want to be told she looks nice," Jude nuttered as she sat down beside maud's grave. "She wants to be told she's beautiful, sexy. That she looks outrageous. It dosen't matter if its not true." She sighed and laid the flowers against the headstone. "Because for the moment, when the words are said and the words are heard, it's perfect truth." ~Nora Roberts

I'm a very direct person and, sometimes, when I want something, I will push it until I get it. But, it's OK. It's not as bad as some people. When I have an idea in my head, I'm pretty stubborn. ~Julie Delpy

There's a myth that free-to-play is cheaper than a $60 game. It's just elastic. For some users, it winds up being a lot more expensive. I would have paid $150 a year to get a better version of FIFA. ~Mitch Lasky

Sometimes we are devils to ourselves. When we will tempt the frailty of our powers, presuming on their changeful potency. ~William Shakespeare
#quotes #william-shakespeare #evil
The unexpected stalks a farm in big boots like a vagrant bent on havoc. Not every farmer is an inventor, but the good ones have the seeds of invention within them. Economy and efficiency move their relentless tinkering and yet the real motive often seems to be aesthetic. The mind that first designed a cutter bar is not far different from a mind that can take the intractable steel of an outsized sickle blade and make it hum in the end. The question is how to reduce the simplicity that constitutes a problem to the greater simplicity that constitutes a solution. ~Verlyn Klinkenborg
#quotes #verlyn-klinkenborg
The natural mind is ever prone to reason, when we ought to believe; to be at work, when we ought to be quiet; to go our own way, when we ought steadily to walk on in God's ways, however trying to nature. ~George Muller

A vacation is having nothing to do and all day to do it in. ~Robert Orben

The eye never forgets what the heart has seen. ~African Proverb

It is true that advertising often gives information and is valuable for doing so, but some forms of advertising give precious little information, and even that little is wrong. ~Randal Marlin
#quotes #randal-marlin #advertising #information
I know some of you are, thinking, maybe I deserved it. But before you start pointing fingers, let me ask you. Is what I did really so bad? So bad I deserved to die? So bad I deserved to die like that? Is what I did really much worse than what anybody else does? Is it really so much worse than what you do? ~Lauren Oliver

Choose neither a woman nor linen by candlelight. ~Italian Proverb

I vote in every general election, but I'm not a party member or an ideologue. I've never told anyone who I've voted for. ~Brian Lamb
