So it’s fate then?” I asked with him so close my lips brushed the line of his jaw with each word, “Us being together?” “Absolutely,” Calvin said with a low growl. Then he lifted my chin, tilting my head back, and kissed me deeply. Who was I to argue with Fate?

We all must wake up from dreams
E.J. Mellow (The Divide (Dreamland, #2))
And then there are the dreams that feel as authentic as reality itself, that seem to exist just as your own life does. Where the emotions you experience there carry over to when you're awake. They are so real, so genuine, that you begin to question your own sanity. And you know that when the day comes that you finally stop dreaming them, you will never stop remembering.

E.J. Koh (The Magical Language of Others)
Not so long ago we were all a tightly knit group of friends. Too bad someone had ripped apart the stitches that held us together, unraveling the cozy blanket of our friendship and leaving just enough strands to hang ourselves with.
E.J. Stevens
You know all those things you've always wanted to do? You should go do them.

E.J. Beaton (The Councillor (The Councillor, #1))
...if Clinton's answers come off as well-intended lectures, Obama is offering soaring sermons and generational opportunity. In 1960, the articulate Adlai Stevenson compared his own oratory unfavorably with John F. Kennedy's. "Do you remember," Stevenson said, "that in classical times when Cicero had finished speaking, the people said, 'How well he spoke,' but when Demosthenes had finished speaking, the people said, 'Let us march.' " At this hour, Obama is the Democrats' Demosthenes.

E.J. Stevens (Shadow Sight (Ivy Granger, #1))
I would rather live in a world where people shout, "This is wrong." than live in a world with superheroes saving the day.
♥EJ <---
I build worlds around us and solar systems and creatures that only exist in dreams. I manifest colors that have flavors and darkness that’s all encompassing. I go to a place unborn by man, created in a space where the natural law has no reach and the science of reason is washed away , replaced by the basic pure desire to exist, all of it coming from a place I never knew I had.
E.J. Mellow (The Divide (Dreamland, #2))
I’m trying to decide whether to tell you two to get a room or go barf in the trash can,” Emma said. “I’m leaning toward the second choice. You are both getting way too weird. And gross.” Cal barked out a laugh and slid his fingers down my arm to entwine with mine. His touch, and Emma’s comments, only made me blush more. Looks like Emma saw Cal lick my face after all. Now that wasn’t awkward or anything.

E.J. Mellow (Song of the Forever Rains (Mousai, #1))
If one person in the world thinks you're beautiful, then it must be true... I think you're beautiful, by the way...
♥EJ <---
As far as plans went, it was like facing the zombie apocalypse with a nail file and a bag of Skittles. It might work, but chances were good that I'd die a horrible, painful death. At least the end would be filled with fruity, candy goodness. And for my dramatic death scene I could whisper, in a creepy, quivery death rattle, taste the rainbow. Boy would those zombies be confused.
E.J. Stevens (The Pirate Curse (Spirit Guide, #5))
To strive. To seek. To find. And not to fucking yield. - Jon Hauser
E.J. Frost

E.J. WOOD (Beyond the Pale)
Today we are going to discover all about your vagina.
E.J. WOOD (The Fantasiser)
Now, I like to think that I'm of reasonable intelligence, but ordinary differential equations and myself...we don't really hang in the same comprehension circles. So, try as I might to follow my teacher's logic in how he got 3f"(x) + 5xf(x) to equal eleven, I never quite understood. His answer in no way, shape, or form resembled mine, and this misalignment -this complete confusion of how point A got to point B- is kind of where I'm at right now. "Dreaming?" I repeat dubiously.
E.J. Mellow (The Dreamer (Dreamland, #1))
Absolute certainty is no more attainable in metaphysics than it is in any other field of rational inquiry and it is unfair to criticize metaphysics for failing to deliver what no other discipline - not even mathematics - is expected to deliver.
E.J. Lowe (An Introduction to the Philosophy of Mind (Cambridge Introductions to Philosophy))
As I pull down my dress the sudden realisation that I have just brutalised my own twat in the company of others places me in the most perplexing situation that I have ever found myself in.
E.J. WOOD (The Fantasiser)
Use your heart. Understand. Learn to see things in the now, not as they were or will be, or as they might or should be, but as they are, right now, in this moment. The heart sees the now; the mind only sees the next. If you can’t learn to see the now, you’ll never see what’s truly there, and then where will you be?” “Trapped” “Precisely. But if you take care of the now, the future will work out as it should.
E.J. Patten (Return to Exile (The Hunter Chronicles, #1))
I ONCE READ somewhere that the odds of getting hit by lightning are one in a million. One in a friggin’ million. So, if this situation were to be viewed optimistically, I’m a pretty unique individual. But here’s the thing—I just got hit by lighting on my birthday, so optimism can go kiss pessimism’s
E.J. Mellow (The Dreamer (Dreamland #1))
His comment brings me back to my birthday dinner with Jared, and I grin at the memory. Dev blinks a few times at my pleased expression and gives me one of his knee-weakening smiles. Immediately, my face falls. "I wasn't smiling at you." "I see." He glances around. "So it was for the other man who opened the door for you." "As a matter of fact, it was," I say and breeze past him.
E.J. Mellow
You’re more than my desire, Sabine. If I’m your home, then you’re my safe harbor. The sanctuary where I can finally rest. You’re my everything—my truth, my strength, my trust, my hope, and all my love. You’re the rest of my life.
E.J. Noyes (If I Don't Ask)
It is easy to blame the person responsible for the crime, to hate them and despise them, but when we sit idly by and watch evil happen right before our very eyes and become bound to the person by hate, we become co-conspirators of the wrong.
E.J. Squires (Winter Solstice Winter (Viking Blood Saga, #1))
I love you, Evelyn.” Leaning in, he grazes my earlobe with his mouth. “For longer than you might have known.” “Likewise.” He chuckles against my cheek. “That’s all you have to say? Likewise?” “Just shut up and kiss me.” “I was getting there.
Renee Ericson (More Than Water (More Than Water, #1))
If I hadn’t stopped to thank the ghoul, I might not be covered in rotting, slimy, dead guy. I shook my head ruefully and continued walking. No good deed goes unpunished.
E.J. Stevens (Ghost Light (Ivy Granger, #2))
Sometimes the hardest things to believe are the only things worth believing at all.
E.J. Patten
...the very, very old fae tended to go through an unhealthy stage of boredom that was often followed by a period of ‘goin’ doololly.
E.J. Stevens (Blood and Mistletoe (Ivy Granger, #1.5))
As a scholar, it was her job to see things in relationship to other things; the only thing she couldn't see in a relationship was herself.
E.J. Levy (Love, in Theory: Ten Stories (The Flannery O'Connor Award for Short Fiction))
Everything in life is tentative, so plan accordingly.
E.J. Valson
When our souls join, they burn with more fervor than the sun, they move more than the strongest of the winds and give life, like the fountain of eternal living waters.
E.J. Squires (Winter Solstice Winter (Viking Blood Saga, #1))
No time like the immediate, for tomorrow we may be dead, serving life and God's people no longer. It's in now we must take action to become the heroes of the morn'.

E.J. Fisch (Nexus (Ziva Payvan, #2))
Let's be honest about journalists: We find a lot of ways of being wrong.
E.J. Dionne Jr.
You shouldn’t chase people. You should know that you are important enough and deserve the time and attention just like everyone else. You shouldn’t run after people to prove that you matter and exist. You are worth it, more than you could ever imagine. You are a star that could sparkle on anyone’s night sky. You are everything in someone’s eyes. Remember, do not chase, let them know your worth because if you have to chase, it’s not real love. It’s not worth it.
E.J. Cenita
If a faerie, a vampire, and a demon walk into a bar, you wait for the punch line. At Private Eye, when a faerie, a vampire, and a demon walk through the door, it’s just another day at the office.
E.J. Stevens (Blood and Mistletoe (Ivy Granger, #1.5))
You know, I've always admired you for seeming so selfless and trying to shift the blame to yourself, but then I got to thinking...." He turned around to address her directly, and his eyes were colder than she'd ever seen them. "Maybe you just can't stand the thought of everything not being about you.
E.J. Fisch (Ronan (Ziva Payvan, #3))
I swallow. Will I like this different me? Will my friends and family? “I know there is a popular saying ‘ignorance is bliss.’” She eyes me sympathetically, as if she knows my thoughts. “But I also know there is a better one that says ‘knowledge is power.’” I’m currently unsure which one I agree with.
E.J. Mellow (The Divide (Dreamland, #2))
Rae!” I shove his shoulder. “You can’t do that! You can’t snoop about you through me!”“Why not? How else were you going to repay me for this favor?” The corner of his mouth tips up. “Plus, wouldn’t you ask her that?”“Oh. My. God! That’s not the point,” I scold, but after a moment ask, “What did she say?
E.J. Mellow (The Divide (Dreamland, #2))
Tu atnāci pie manis nu jau otrām lādzēm. Ar acīm mirdzošām - un mirdzot rokassprādzēm. Bij kastaņlaiks. Tie paukšķēdami plīsa. Un kļuva pēkšņi žēl, ka dzīve ir tik īsa. Tik tiek, cik gaismu ieraudzīt ļauj Dievs, Kad tu man garām ej un iemirdzies. Es nežēlojos. Dzīvi jāņem smejot. Tik, cik tā iemirdzas. Kā garāmejot
Imants Ziedonis (Kā laiku un telpu, un bezgalību..)
Lynn looks up at him to see if he's serious. "What?" he asks her. "If anybody is gonna put Carter's head through the wall, it should be me." EJ's eyes snap open, and he scoots away from me slowly. I'll remember this, Wingman!
Brent Crawford (Carter Finally Gets It (Carter Finally Gets It, #1))
EJ cries, "We've been best friends since kindergarten. You can't become a babe slayer and leave me in the dust! I don't have an older sister. I'm disadvantaged. All I got is Emmy, who can only drop preschool wisdom like, 'No pull Barbie's hair!'" "That's probably some early girl wisdom. Nobody likes to get their hair pulled," I say. "Except this one chick in my porno; I think she's into it. I cant really tell, though. I wish they would slow down.
Brent Crawford (Carter Finally Gets It (Carter Finally Gets It, #1))
I’d been called a freak, and worse, all through school. Now that I’d finally graduated, I was sick of it. I’d hoped that no one would ever call me names again. Oh well, if wishes were flying monkeys, we’d all be wearing tiny hats.
E.J. Stevens (The Pirate Curse (Spirit Guide, #5))
Religious people should always be wary of the ways in which political power is wielded and skeptical of how economic privileges are distributed. They should also be mindful of how their own traditions have been used for narrow political purposes, and how some religious figures have manipulated the faith to aggrandize their own power. The doctrine of original sin and the idea of a fallen side of human nature apply to people who are religious no less than those who are not.
E.J. Dionne Jr.
Yuki?” Calvin asked. “Yeah?” I asked turning back to him. “Thanks for giving me a chance,” he said and smiling his toothy grin he started walking back to his truck. Who else is going to dig through a compost heap with me? It must be love.
E.J. Stevens (She Smells the Dead (Spirit Guide, #1))
Love is a driving force for a person's decisions, motives, and purpose in life, as is evidenced by many stories told throughout history. It has caused happiness, joy, war, and deceit. Without love, one cannot function and thrive among their peers or humanity as a whole. Its absence can cause irreparable harm to thought processes and logic—or in Van Gogh’s case, make one crazed.
Renee Ericson (More Than Water (More Than Water, #1))
Now I am experiencing the Clear Light of objective reality. Nothing is happening, nothing ever has happened or ever will happen. My present sense of self, the voyager, is in reality the void itself, having no qualities or characteristics. I remember myself as the voyager, whose deepest nature is the Clear Light itself; I am one; there is no other. I am the voidness of the void, the eternal unborn, the uncreated, neither real nor unreal. All that I have been conscious of is my own play of consciousness, a dance of light, the swirling patterns of light in infinite extension, endless endlessness, the Absolute beyond change, existence, reality. I, the voyager, am inseparable from the Clear Light; I cannot be born, die, exist or change. I know now that this is my true nature.
E.J. Gold (American Book of the Dead)
Yuki, you have plans after school tomorrow?” Calvin turned to me and asked. How does he raise one brow like that? Does he practice in the mirror? “Nope, no plans yet,” I said flipping my hair as I looked at him over my shoulder. I can use cool poses too Calvin Miller.
E.J. Stevens (She Smells the Dead (Spirit Guide, #1))
What I had meant to say in the kitchen was that I had loved fish since I was little—white bite, crispy skin. I had been waiting for it so long that the picture of soft flesh decomposed and left bones for a fossil. When I had argued in the kitchen, I was arguing about what was lost to me. Like how I could not read the letters because of the old water stains that had spread ink across the bottom of the page. The problem was not the damage but the cause. I recognized the tears my younger self had wept while touching the shapes on the paper.
E.J. Koh (The Magical Language of Others)
Ludački sam vraćao vrijeme oživljavao ubijenog još nije ubijen tek sam saznao da je zatvoren i došao odmah da pitam za njega ljudski je bratski nema straha ni stida još ima nade pustiće ga uskoro doći će mu ponude od mene znaće da nije sam ni ostavljen pred kapijom je rođena krv njegova. Ni kule ni stražari ni obziri nisu ga zadržali da ne dode došao je došao sam petnaest godina je mlađi uvijek sam se brinuo o njemu doveo sam ga u kasabu ej ljudi kako bih ga napustio kad mu je najteže razvedriće mu se ojađeno srce kad sazna da sam pitao za njega. Nikog svoga osim mene nema pa zar i ja da ga obmanem zašto U ime čega Svi me gledajte krivo ljutite se odmahujte glavom svejedno mi je ovdje sam ne odričem se veze od koje nemam bliže raspnite me ako hoćete za ovu ljubav zar se može protiv nje Došao sam brate nisi sam.
Meša Selimović (Death and the Dervish)
With me the process is much more like bird-watching than like either talking or building. I see pictures. Some of the pictures have a common flavour, almost a common smell, which groups them together. Keep quiet and watch and they will begin joining themselves up.(quoting C.S. Lewis)
E.J. Kirk (Beyond the Wardrobe: The Official Guide to Narnia)
Though we can never be fully pure in body, we can be fully pure in heart. Half black, half white, half evil, half good, we are all the same, struggling to find our path in this seemingly never-ending chasm of darkness. And may we one day reach the light we so eagerly seek, knowing that the freedom from darkness may only come when we shine our own light upon others.
E.J. Squires (Wraithsong (Desirable Creatures, #1))
He glanced to the walkways on either side of him, wondering what the chances were that he would actually catch sight of Ziva. Keeping an eye out for someone who didn't want to be found - especially when that someone was Lieutenant Ziva Payvan - was as close to futile as something could get. It wasn't a matter of finding her, but rather of her making herself known when she saw fit.
E.J. Fisch (Nexus (Ziva Payvan, #2))
Let me tell you what it is I believe in so that we better understand each other. I believe in a man thinking for himself and being his own master. I believe in going where I want to go, and doing what I want to do, being as fee as the wind. No limits, no obligations, and no laws. There may or may not be a path, but it makes no difference to me because I'm sure that, by whatever means, we'll reach that kingdom and I'll be paid.
E.J. Norris (The Mirror and the Sword (The Knight's Chronicle))
www youtube com/watch?v=wRHxEj1HGHM I want you to know one thing. You know how this is: if I look, at the crystal moon, at the red branch of the slow autumn at my window, if I touch near the fire the impalpable ash or the wrinkled body of the log, everything carries me to you, as if everything that exists, aromas, light, metals, were little boats that sail toward those isles of yours that wait for me. Well, now, if little by little you stop loving me I shall stop loving you little by little. If suddenly you forget me do not look for me, for I shall already have forgotten you. If you think it long and mad, the wind of banners that passes through my life, and you decide to leave me at the shore of the heart where I have roots, remember that on that day, at that hour, I shall lift my arms and my roots will set off to seek another land. But if each day, each hour, you feel that you are destined for me with implacable sweetness, if each day a flower climbs up to your lips to seek me, ah my love, ah my own, in me all that fire is repeated, in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten, my love feeds on your love, beloved, and as long as you live it will be in your arms without leaving mine.
Pablo Neruda (If You Forget Me)
Svijet je školski ravnatelj koji se bavi tvojim manama. Ne mislim u nekom u nekom mističnom ili Isusovom smislu. Nego prije na foru da se uporno spotičeš preko neke skrivene stube, bez kraja i konca, dok ti konačno ne sine: pazi, stuba! Sve su stvari u kojima kiksamo skrivene stube, bilo da smo odveć sebični ili odveć sluga pokoran ili što već. Ili nikad nećeš primijetiti u čemu griješiš pa ćeš dovijeka trpjeti posljedice ili ćeš jednog dana primijetiti i popraviti stvar. A što je najveći vic, kad napokon skužiš gdje je ta skrivena stuba i pomisliš: Ej, pa ipak život nije baš takva koma, slijedi TRES! Strmoglaviš se niz novo skriveno stubište. Nikad kraja
David Mitchell (Black Swan Green)
Carter: "Dude, I don't know why it works, it just does. [...] Just pretend you're not into 'em and then ask a question. What's the worst that could happen?" EJ makes eye contact with the smallest one, off to the side. [...] She looks up at EJ and gives him the nicest smile. He pulls the trigger and yells, "You think you're hot stuff, don't you?" What the...? Where are you going with this? "Excuse me?" she replies, kind of sweetly. EJ asks, "You think you're cool, don't you? Where did you get that shirt, the Salvation Army? What the hell is with your hair? My eyes are as big as basketballs as he fires one mean-ass question after another at her. "You don't have a boyfriend, do you?" he continues. It's like he's armed with self-esteem killer. "Did your parents have any kids that lived?" EJ asks. The girls starts to buckle, and tears are on the way. "Are these your friends, or are they like, counselors here to observe you?" EJ shouts. [...] He asks, "Does your grandma know you borrowed her shoes?" as I drag him away. The girl is crying pretty hard, and her friends are trying to console her. [...] "Man, that didn't do very well. What do you think I did wrong?" EJ asks. "Are you serious?" I ask "I was just doing what you told me to," he replies. "I-I-I told you to go up to that girl and start abusing her?" I ask. "You said to ask her questions and pretend I didn't like her!" he yells back. "Pretend YOU'RE NOT INTO HER!" I clarify. "Not that you hate her and wish she would die! Good God, that girl thought she was gonna get a boyfriend when you walked up, not years of therapy." "Do you think I still have a shot?" he asks "NO, I don't!" I bark
Brent Crawford (Carter Finally Gets It (Carter Finally Gets It, #1))
Passing him with frightening speed, I see him sailing downward with his open parachute. “It won’t open!” “Pull harder!” Looking down, I estimate that at this speed it will only be a matter of seconds before I collide with the black lava rocks below. They rigged it! is all I can think. President Volkov won. I lost. I failed Gemma. I failed Nicholas. I failed myself. All of a sudden, someone rams into me from behind and hooks his arms and legs around my body. I look back and see Cory. “You’re crazy!” I scream as we spin out of control. “I know!” He smiles like he really is, but he feeds off of this kind of insanity. “Hold on!” The ground is so close and I can see the green grass and smell the scent of it mixed with the sulfur. He helps me turn around and I lock my arms around his thick shoulders, my legs around his firm hips. We’ll die together, and he doesn’t seem to care one bit. He really is insane!
E.J. Squires (Savage Run: Book I)
