Straight Quotes With Smart Quotes

Yeah, I got the instructions straight from Seoras. That and a bunch of smart-ass comments about my education being sadly lacking and something about not knowing my arse from my ear or my elbow, and also something about me being a fanny, and I don't know what the hell that means." "Fanny? Like a girl's name?" "I don't think so . . .

Day in, day out, you peel the layers back for me. Smart mouth, funny, sweet, wild in bed. Chattin' with bikers like they were insurance brokers. Holdin' my girl's hand, givin' her strength when her Mom's bein' a bitch. Keepin' your chin up when your people show in the middle of a full blown drama. But so fuckin' vulnerable, you're scared shitless of livin' life." "You don't know me, Tack." His head came up and his eyes pierced mine. "I know you, Tyra." "You don't." "Life's a roller coaster. Best damn ride in the park. You don't close your eyes, hold on and wait for it to be over, babe. You keep your eyes open, lift your hands straight up in the air and enjoy the ride for as long as it lasts.

Dad, I'll never do any better. He's smart and funny and good-looking.." Stephanie," he took both my hands, "how could you do any worse?" Best rhetorical question ever.

He'd say "I love you" to every man in the squad before rolling out, say it straight, with no joking or smart-ass lilt and no warbly Christian smarm in it either, just that brisk declaration like he was tightening the seat belts around everyone's soul.

Straight?" He trembled as he asked this supreme question. "Scudder? A little too smart to be straight.

I look deep into her rich brown eyes and she look into mine. Law, she got old-soul eyes, like she done lived a thousand years. And I swear I see, down inside, the woman she gone grow up to be. A flash from the futures. She is tall and straight. She is proud. She got a better haircut. And she is remembering the words I put in her head. Remembering as a full-grown woman. And then she says it, just like I need her to. "You is kind," she say, "you is smart. You is important.

There was no point in fighting with Celia once she got mean," Evelyn says, "If things got too tense, I tended to back off before they came to a head. I would tell her I loved her and I couldn't live without her, and then I'd take my top off, and that usually ended the conversation. For all her posturing, Celia had one thing in common with almost every straight man in America: she wanted nothing more than to get her hands on my chest." "Did it stick with you, though?" I ask, "Those words?" "Of course it did. Look, I'd be the first person to say back when I was young that all I was was a nice pair of tits. The only currency I had was my sexuality, and I used it like money. I wasn't well educated when I got to Hollywood, I wasn't book-smart, I wasn't powerful, I wasn't a trained actress. What did I have to be good at other than being beautiful? And taking pride in your beauty is a damning act. Because you allow yourself to believe that the only thing notable about yourself is something with a very short shelf life.

I could see the cat was definitely on the steps. Still on the steps, 20 minutes after Carl's call. This was strange; Amy loved the cat. The cat was declawed, the cat was never let outside, never ever, because the cat ... was sweet, but extremely stupid. ... Amy knew she'd never see the cat again if he ever got out. The cat would waddle straight into the Mississippi River, "deedlie-dum," and float all the way to the Gulf of Mexico into the maw of a hungry bull shark. But it turned out, the cat wasn't even smart enough to get past the steps.

Most smart people tend to feel queasy when the conversation turns to things like "certain death" and "total failure" and the idea of a "doomed generation." But not me. I am comfortable with these themes. There is nothing new about them, except when they come all at once. Any conversation that can make smart people confront a mix of Death, Doom, and Failure with a straight face is probably worth listening in on. They don't come around real often, and when they do it almost always means that at least two of the people doing the talking are in very serious trouble.

We kissed for two hours. Eventually, I led him into my bedroom and pulled off both of our shirts. He stopped me. "This might sound weird; it's not typical guy response." I froze, suddenly awkward. "I mean, if I didn't feel the way I do with you I would be all for it, but I kind of think maybe it would be good to wait. I've rushed into sex, and had it be a mistake." He shrugged apologetically. "I mean, if it's safe to assume you are experiencing the same date that I am, then I think we will have time." I was a little flabbergasted and more than a little embarrassed. How could I explain that the idea sounded like a huge relief to me, that I didn't quite understand where the impulse to start taking my clothes off came from? I had had the same experience. I rarely enjoyed first-time sex with partners, largely because I usually did it before I really knew or trusted them. Here was where the difference between what I knew and did remained wide. The shame I felt wash over me was tinged with that hatred of my own innocence. Was I still so green? So unconfident? Had I gone straight out of the extremity of sex work to the innocence of my adolescence? Where was my self-knowledge? Still, I was relieved. "Of course. I agree totally." I clutched my T-shirt to my chest and smiled at him. "And yes, I am on the same date you are on." "I thought so," he said. "I mean, I don't think you can feel like this when it's not reciprocal." He left at 2:00 A.M. and called me at 11:00 the next morning to schedule our second date.

For an immature little preppy guy, you're pretty smart." "An immature little preppy guy?" he repeated in an outraged tone of voice. "You look like someone who would need a note from his mother to get out of gym class," I said. "Life is full of surprises," he admitted. "When you see the heat I'm packing, all this talk about imatture and little will go straight out of the window." "Is that a promise?" "You'll be crying for your mama.

Would you like a drink?" "No, thank you." "So polite." "One of us should be, don't you think?" He turned to face her, half-amused and half-surprised by her smart mouth. She was not tall, barely the height of his shoulder, but at the moment she looked like an Amazon. The hood of her cloak had fallen away, and her hair was in disarray, tumbling around her shoulders, gleaming pale blond in the dim light. Her chin was thrust forward in a universal sign of defiance, her shoulders were stiff and straight, and her chest rose and fell with harsh anger, swelling beneath her cloak. She looked as though she'd like to do him no small amount of bodily harm.

His hands came to her wrists, squeezed reflexively, before he got quickly to his feet. "You're mixing things up." Panic arrowed straight into his heart. "I told you sex complicates things." "Yes,you did.And of course since you're the only man I've been with, how could I knew the difference between sex and love? Then again, that doesn't take into account that I'm a smart and self-aware woman, and I know the reason you're the only man I've been with is that you're the only man I've loved.Brian..." She stepped toward him, humor flashing into her eyes when he stepped back. "I've made up my mind.You know how stubborn I am." "I train your father's horses." "So what? My mother groomed them." "That's a different matter." "Why? Oh, because she's a woman.How foolish of me not to realize we can't possibly love each other, build a life with each other.Now if you owned Royal Meadows and I worked here, then it would be all right." "Stop making me sound ridiculous." "I can't." She spread her hands. "You are ridiculous.I love you anyway. Really, I tried to approach it sensibly.I like doing things in a structured order that makes a beeline for the goal.But..." She shrugged, smiled. "It just doesn't want to work that way with you.I look at you and my heart,well, it just insists on taking over.I love you so much,Brian. Can't you tell me? Can't you look at me and tell me?" He skimmed his fingertips over the bruise high on her temple. He wanted to tend to it, to her. "If I did there'd be no going back." "Coward." She watched the heat flash into his eyes,and thought how lovely it was to know him so well. "You won't push me into a corner." Now she laughed. "Watch me," she invited and proceeded to back him up against the steps. "I've figured a lot of things out today,Brian.You're scared of me-of what you feel for me. You were the one always pulling back when we were in public, shifting aside when I'd reach for you.It hurt me." The idea quite simply appalled him. "I never meant to hurt you." "No,you couldn't.How could I help but fall for you? A hard head and a soft heart.It's irresistable. Still, it did hurt. But I thought it was just the snob in you.I didn't realize it was nerves." "I'm not a snob, or a coward." "Put your arms around me.Kiss me. Tell me." "Damn it." he grabbed her shoulders, then simply held on, unable to push her back or draw her in. "It was the first time I saw you, the first instant. You walked in the room and my heart stopped. Like it had been struck by lightning.I was fine until you walked into the room." Her knees wanted to buckle.Hard head, soft heart, and here, suddenly, a staggering sweep of romance. "Why didn't you tell me? Why did you make me wait?" "I thought I'd get over it." "Get over it?" Her brow arched up. "Like a head cold?" "Maybe." He set her aside, paced away to stare out at the hills. Keeley closed her eyes, let the breeze ruffle her hair, cool her cheeks. When the calm descended, she opened her eyes and smiled. "A good strong head cold's tough to shake off.

She hadn't gotten his expression quite right in her imagination, because the stunned, vacant expression on Shane's face when she started down the stairs was even better than fantasy. His mouth actually dropped open. Next to him, Michael turned around, and although she hadn't counted on it, there was a warm fuzzy to making a hot golden-angel vampire blink and give her a quick, involuntary once-over. Claire stopped on the steps above them and did a tentative hip-shimmy. "Okay?" she asked. Shane's mouth shut with a snap, and Michael actually cleared his throat. "Fine," Michael said. "Fine?" That was Eve, coming down the stairs behind Claire. She moved around the roadblock and punched Michael in the arm. "She looks amazing. I'm not half g*y and I think she's hot." Shane wasn't saying anything. Claire felt warm and a little dizzy, the way he was looking at her. She resisted the urge to check to see if her skirt was straight -- she'd done it a dozen times already --and forced herself to meet his gaze and smile. "You sure this is smart?" Shane asked, which was not what she'd expected, not at all. "You look fantastic." "Thanks -- " He interrupted her. "Fantastic in this town pops you to the top of the take-out menu." She held up her left hand and pointed to her wrist. The gold bracelet was clearly visible. "I'll be okay," she said. "The vamps won't bother me." "Not even talking about the vamps. You're going to be drawing every guy there who's looking to get off.

Minny came ever day to make sure I was breathing, feed me food to keep me living. All I know is, I ain't saying it. And I know she ain't saying what she want a say either and it's a strange thing happening here cause nobody saying nothing and we still managing to have us a conversation. "Mama, it would really be so terrible if I never met a husband?" Write about what disturbs you, particularly if it bothers no one else. I stare at her, wishing the ceiling fan would fly from its post, crash down on both of us. I feel tears come up in my eyes, cause three years just ain't long enough. A hundred years ain't gone be long enough. Eugenia, just because this is a hospital doesn't mean I'm an invalid" "you kind. you smart. you important." See, I think if God had intended for white people and colored people to be this close together for so much of the day, he would've made us color-blind. Every time a Negro complained about the cost of living didn't mean she was begging for money. But the truth is, I don't care about voting. I don't care about eating at a counter with white people. What I care about is, if, in ten years, a white lady will call my girls dirty and accuse them of stealing the silver. when you little, you only get to ask two questions, what's your name and how old you is, so you better get em right. Mister Jonny knows about me. Miss Celia Knows Mister Jony know about me. But Mister Jonny doesn't know that Miss Celia knows he knows. "Yes ma'am. I tell her." In about a hundred years. How an awful day could turn even worse. It seems like at some point you'd just run out of awful. Lots of folks think if you talk back to your husband, you crossed the line. And that justifies punishment. She can take the most complicated things in life and wrap them up so small and simple, they'll fit right in your pocket. "Don't you let him cheapen you. If Stuart doesn't know how intelligent and kind I raised you to be, he can march straight on back to State Street. Frankly, I don't care much for Stuart. He doesn't know how lucky he was to have you." You tell her we love her, like she's our own family. "You a beautiful person, Minny." Mississippi is like my mother. I am allowed to complain about her all I want, but God help the person who raises an ill word about her around me unless she is their mother too. For the dishonesty upon which a society is founded makes every emotion suspect, makes it impossible to know whether what flowed between two people was honest feeling or pity or pragmatism

Happiness doesn't just happen. I'm convinced that for the most part, those who focus their minds on it, obtain it.

If you want to know more information, contact us – ➤ WhatsApp: +14435096094 ➤ Telegram: @bestusit ➤ Skype: bestusit ➤ Email: bestusit@gmail.com In this post, we’ll uncover why getting a verified Payoneer account is a game-changer for you, how it saves you time, and what to look out for to ensure your choice is secure and trustworthy. Keep reading—you’re just a few steps away from unlocking a more efficient and stress-free way to handle your global payments. Why Verified Payoneer Accounts Matter In today’s fast-moving digital world, having a verified Payoneer account is not just a convenience—it’s a necessity. Whether you’re a freelancer, an e-commerce seller, or a digital entrepreneur, a verified account gives you the credibility and tools to manage global transactions seamlessly. But why does verification make such a big difference? Let’s break it down into actionable insights that show exactly why a verified Payoneer account matters to you. 1. Global Trust and Credibility Would you trust a payment account that looks incomplete or unverified? Probably not. A verified Payoneer account signals to clients, businesses, and platforms that you’re legitimate and trustworthy. It’s the equivalent of having a professional badge in the financial world. Clients often prefer working with verified accounts because they feel secure knowing their payments are being handled through a verified source. This can give you an edge in competitive industries like freelancing or affiliate marketing. 2. Access to Full Features Without verification, you’re limited to basic features. But once your account is verified, the doors to Payoneer’s full suite of services open up. You can withdraw funds to your local bank, receive payments globally, and even apply for a Payoneer Prepaid Mastercard. Imagine the convenience of withdrawing your earnings or paying for services online without a hitch. Verification ensures you don’t hit unnecessary roadblocks when managing your money. 3. Higher Transaction Limits If you’re handling large sums, this one is a game-changer. Unverified accounts often come with low transaction limits, which can be frustrating and restrictive for growing businesses. With a verified account, you can transact larger amounts confidently, knowing you won’t face unexpected payment freezes or account restrictions. This flexibility is vital for scaling your operations smoothly. 4. Improved Security Verification isn’t just about proving your identity; it’s about protecting it. Payoneer uses the verification process to ensure your account is secure and less vulnerable to fraud.

Buy Verified Cash App Accounts: A Smarter Way to Transact Online In the world of digital finance, speed, security, and convenience are non-negotiables. Whether you're sending money to a friend, receiving business payments, or managing your side hustle, having access to a verified payment platform makes a world of difference. One of the most popular peer-to-peer payment systems in the U.S. is Cash App — and if you’re looking to buy verified Cash App accounts, you’re not alone. For entrepreneurs, digital marketers, eCommerce sellers, and freelancers, verified Cash App accounts provide flexibility and ease in managing finances. And when you want secure, reliable accounts, GlobalPvaShop is a top-tier provider known for delivering high-quality, verified accounts for professional use. What Is a Verified Cash App Account? Cash App, developed by Block, Inc. (formerly Square), allows users to send and receive money, buy Bitcoin, invest in stocks, and even use a Cash Card for purchases. However, to access its full range of features, a user must verify their identity. A verified Cash App account includes: A unique phone number or email address Linked debit card or bank account Verified identity (usually name, date of birth, SSN for U.S. users) Increased sending/receiving limits Access to Bitcoin and stock investments Cash Card issuance eligibility Buying such an account — already verified and fully functional — can be incredibly useful for users who want to skip the lengthy registration and verification process, or for those operating multiple ventures requiring separate accounts. Why Buy Verified Cash App Accounts? Let’s be clear: Cash App is easy to set up for basic use. But if you’re trying to unlock full capabilities or run multiple legitimate accounts (without violating terms), the process can be frustrating. That’s why many turn to pre-verified Cash App accounts to save time, avoid verification issues, and increase operational flexibility. Here are some of the top reasons to buy verified Cash App accounts: 1. Save Time and Bypass Verification Hassles The verification process on Cash App can take time — and sometimes, your application might be flagged for additional review. Pre-verified accounts allow you to bypass these hurdles entirely, letting you dive straight into transactions. 2. Operate Multiple Business Streams Many online businesses, freelancers, and digital entrepreneurs manage multiple income streams. Having separate, verified Cash App accounts helps organize income, manage tax reporting, and separate personal from business transactions. 3. Increased Limits and Access to Features Unverified users have low transaction limits and cannot access services like Bitcoin trading or the Cash Card. Verified accounts unlock the full suite of Cash App features with higher send/receive thresholds and investment access. 4. Avoid Regional or ID Restrictions Some users face restrictions based on geographic location or lack the necessary ID documents. A verified U.S.-based Cash App account provides access to services that may otherwise be unavailable. Why Choose GlobalPvaShop for Cash App Accounts? In a digital marketplace flooded with low-quality or recycled accounts, GlobalPvaShop has earned its reputation by delivering clean, secure, and fully verified Cash App accounts that are ready for real use. Here’s why they’re trusted by professionals worldwide: ✅ Verified and Tested: Every account is fully verified with unique details and tested before delivery to ensure functionality. Final Thoughts Verified Cash App accounts open doors for smooth, fast, and secure financial transactions in both personal and professional settings. Whether you're running an online store, freelancing globally, or simply want a backup account for different revenue streams, having access to a fully verified account is a smart and strategic move.
