Xan Quotes

Charm is often despised but I can never see why. No one has it who isn't capable of genuinely liking others, at least at the actual moment of meeting and speaking. Charm is always genuine; it may be superficial but it isn't false.

Xan and I will never change. I'll always be his Green and he'll always be my knight.

You didn’t look at Xan and think, “Gosh, I want to make love to him” or “Wouldn’t it be nice to have some sex with that guy”. No. You took one look at Xan and you fell to your quivering knees, thinking, “Holy shit, I need that man to fuck me.

I love you, Grandmama.” “I know, darling,” Xan wheezed. “I love . . .” And she drifted away, loving everything.

Xan spoke low. "I would die for you." "Don't do that," said Devon. "Live for me.

I have been asleep. I have been lulled by my love for Xan. I am meant to be in the world - and I have not been. Not for ages. Shame on me.

You never stopped being my knight, Xan.” “And you never stopped being my Green, Kim.

From the first moment I saw you in your gilded box the young tyrant who sent me to die you have ruled all my thoughts. I hated that you were so beautiful. I had no idea you were the incredible being you are. Give me all the beats of your heart and I will spend all my days trying to make up for what I've done to you and all my nights worshipping you. Xan

Are you Catholic?” “Recovering,” he admitted. “Me, too. The symbolism, though—” “It still resonates.” “Yeah.

It's kind of like polyamory. I'm often dating several projects at once.

Xan had helped me in the end. Let him be an uncomplicated hero.

You're not even looking at the view, Xan." "I'm looking at all I need to.

Some of us," Xan said, "choose love over power. Indeed, most of us do.

I love you, Xan. I’ve been in love with you for so long, I don’t know when it started or if it’ll ever end.” And just like that, I’m a goner.

The creature had nut-brown skin mixed with patches of ash. It was human-sized and formed, but its skin looked like the bark of an old, old tree. About the same height as Donna, it was spindly with arms and legs that were all joints and angles. Its face was narrow and pointed, with hair on top of its head like thick moss and narrow black eyes that glinted even in the dim light of the room. The thing’s body was clothed in lichen and moss, with vines twining around its sharp limbs. The creature opened its lipless mouth, a dark slash across its twisted face. Donna’s mind flashed back to the party and the shadow she’d seen sliding through the darkness outside Xan’s house. She hadn’t been imagining things, after all. The wood elves had returned to the city.

I'll even let her tie me to a chair if it'll make her feel better.

Close the window,” she rasped. “I can’t bear to hear it.” “Leave it open,” Xan whispered. “I can’t bear not to.

Can you please magic her quiet?” Fyrian had begged, once the novelty of a baby in the family had worn off. Xan refused, of course. “Magic should never be used to influence the will of another person, Fyrian,” Xan told him over and over. “How could I do the thing that I must instruct her to never do, once she knows how to understand? That’s hypocrisy, is what.

I'd do it all again," he whispered, crying as he cradled me against his chest." I'd go through the hell of losing you to Xan, I'd welcome being cut off from my family and turning into this... this animal. I'd happily deal with all that pain as long as it led me right back here, right back to you. It was all worth it, Trinity, just to be with you. To be loved by you.

Eula. Happely mi new gown maketh me to loke fayrer then I sholde doe. xan. Sothe you saye, I haue not sene a mynioner this many dayes, I reken it Englishe cloth. Eu. It is english stuff and dyed in Venis.

It's just a little Xananigans," Tera declares proudly. "Oh hell," Ethan mutters. "She's got a word for it." Xan's grinning proudly as he throws his arm around Tera and kisses her temple. "She participates. Of course she's going to have a word for it.

i'm not waiting for the sun to shine; the light, it comes from me.

Can we stop it?" Luna whispered. "No," Xan said. "It was stopped before, long ago, but that was a mistake. A good man died for nothing. A good dragon, too. Volcanoes erupt and the world changes. This is the way of things. But we can protect. I can't by myself - not anymore - and I suspect that you can't on your own. But together." She looked at Luna's mother. "Together, I think we can.

Hubris you say, brother? Please, tell us the nature of the prince's actions against you. Let everyone know exactly how Prince Styxx offended you." Bethany Disguised as Athena "He has held himself up as a god. His arrogance and pride are an affront to us all." Apollo "Held himself up as a god? Pray tell, when was this? .... Ah, yes, I remember... It was when he dared to slay your Atlantean grandson during battle. Is that not right, brother? I'm sure, like me, you remember that day well. The Atlanteans, led to our shores by your own blood kin, were slaughtering hundreds of Greeks until the beach sands turned red from good Greek blood. The onslaught was so fierce that entire veteran regiments fled from the Atlanteans and cowered. Even the brave, noble Dorians pulled back in fear. But not Prince Styxx. He rode in like a lion and jumped from his horse to save the life of a young shield-bearer who was about to be killed by one of the Atlantean giants." Bethany/Athena Bethany swept her gaze around the people there, who were completely silent now. "And with reckless disregard for his own life and limb, this prince picked the boy up and put him on the back of his royal steed and told him to ride to safety. He spent the rest of the day fighting on foot. Not as a prince or a god, but as a mere, heroic Greek soldier." She turned back to Apollo. "His actions so enraged the Atlantean gods that they turned all of their animosity toward him. And still Prince Styxx fought on for his people, wounded, bloody, and tired. He never backed off or backed down. Not even when your own grandson almost buried his axe through the prince's skull. He hit Styxx's hoplon so hard, it splintered a portion of it off. And as Xan held the prince down, the prince, who was barely more than a child, managed to stab him through the ribs. But now that I think about it, you don't remember that day, do you, Apollo? You weren't even there when it was fought, but later that very night-

Her gaze follows my every move. I think she can feel something is weird but hasn’t put her finger on it yet. Maybe she’s seen my fangs and written them off as gimmick. I fucking love gimmicks. They’re so convenient to hide behind.

Xanthippe recognized it.” “She would,” his mother said. “She once called for its destruction.” “And you didn’t think she’d wonder why I was in possession of it?” She shrugged. “Xan was my backup plan if you were too slow.” His mother had basically planned to set a half-mad dragon on him. She didn’t care if it would have made him look like an idiot: What do you mean Tempus? I’ve made no Tempus. I’m wearing my mother’s diamond chain. Why? She told me to. If it weren’t for the bitter smell of fire surrounding them, he might’ve laughed at the absurdity of it. Lady Voclain was more devious and ruthless than the rest of the Bloodkin put together. Her own son!

Vaxtında edə biləcəyimiz şeyləri etməyəndə hansısa canlar alınmamalıdır. Bizim qərarlarımız günahsız bir insanın həyatından daha önəmli ola bilməz. Mən bunu heç cürə anlamıram. İnsanlar bütün tarix boyu, onsuz da, yetərincə qurbanlar veriblər, yetərincə əziyyət çəkiblər, iztirablar görüblər. Mənə görə daha bir insan ölsün istəmirəm, Lamiya.

Qocaman yazıçı Əbülqasım Hüseynzadə nəql edir ki, o zaman hökumət məktəblərində şagird qəbulu məhdud idi. Buna görə də «Cəmiyyəti- xeyriyyə» oğlanlar üçün birinci dəfə «Səadət» məktəbini açdı. İrandan Mirzə Ələkbər xan adında bir şəxs müdir dəvət edildi. O, Fransada Sorbon universitetini bitirmişdi. Fransız, fars, ərəb və türk dillərini mükəmməl bilirdi. Müasir elm və mədəniyyətdən xəbərdar idi. İki-üç ildən sonra «Səadət» məktəbini başqa yerə köçməyə vadar etdilər. 100 Yeni binada alt-üst mərtəbələrdə iyirmiyə qədər otaq vardı. İldə səkkiz yüz manat kirayə verirdilər. Buraya savadlı müəllimləri dəvət etmişdilər: Əlibəy Hüseynzadə, qarabağlı Fərhad Ağazadə, Terequlov qardaşları, Əli və Hənifə, Hacıbəyov qardaşları, Üzeyir və Ceyhun, qubalı Musa Rza Əsgərli, Mikayıl Müşfiqin atası Mirzə Qədir İsmayılzadə. Bəhrambəy Axundov isə məktəbin həkimi idi. Nəğmə dərslərini Üzeyir Hacıbəyov aparırdı. Cəhalət nəticəsində xalqın əsrdən geri qaldığını ifadə edən şərqilər, qəmgin musiqi təranələri ətrafa yayılırdı: Millətin halı nə yaman olmuş, Hamının qəlbi qəmilə dolmuş, Bir belə cəhalət olmaz, olmaz... Bir belə cəfalət olmaz, olmaz... Yoldan ötənlər ayaq saxlayıb nəğmələri dinləyirdilər. «Səadət»in şagirdləri birinci sinifdən kitel geyərdilər. Düymələri sarı, hər qolda bir düymə, bir də mavi zolaq, papağın ortasında nişan, üstündə isə məktəbin adı yazılardı. «Səadət»dən sonra Çəmbərə kəndində «Səfa» məktəbi üçün bina tikdilər. Burada kiçik yaşlı uşaqlar səs-səsə verib sabirin məktəb şərqisini oxuyurdular: Məktəb, məktəb, nə dilguşəsən. Cənnət, cənnət desəm cəzasan. Şadam, şadam təfəründən Əlan, əlan gözəl binasan.

Xan says I forgive easily and he’s lucky for that; however, the truth is, I don’t like holding on to the bad. That shit festers inside and destroys you.

I remember. All at once.” He shook his head. “Why had I forgotten?” Xan pushed her wrinkled lips to one side. “Sorrow is dangerous. Or, at least, it was. I can’t remember why, now. I think we both became accustomed to not remembering things. We just let things get . . . foggy.

Xan

For young Brits like Xan and Paddy, brute force was everything they were trying to escape. Biê was boarding school beatings, Victorian prudishness, the blind obedience to the dogma of “Theirs not to make reply, / Theirs not to reason why, / Theirs but to do and die” that sent their fathers and brothers marching into machine-gun fire during the Great War. Weirdly, religion had a lot to

This fucking band is falling apart,” Xan said, his tone rising. “First you, Jonas, taking up with Rhiannon, and now this. We’re on the cusp. We can change the fucking world, but you people are only interested in your damn personal lives. You won’t sacrifice anything for your art. I’m the only one out there, punching and fighting, every fucking night.” “The work isn’t the only thing, Xan,” Tryp said. “If you sacrifice yourself on the altar of art, you’ll be dead.” “Sounds

pretty girl the German had danced with in a Cretan tavern during the Occupation was actually Xan in disguise.

It had been years since Xan last walked this trail. Centuries, really. She shivered. Everything looked so different. And yet . . . not.

Aiden He takes her time and he’s being a little shit about it, making a face at me behind her back. Cole I hate him a little less now. Aiden Why the hell do you hate him? What’s wrong with my son? Cole The fact that he’s your son. And that he keeps roaming around my Ava like a shadow. I mean it, I’m breaking his legs before he comes near her. Ronan I like him, though. If I had a daughter, I’d definitely give her to him. Speaking of which, Xan, you still didn’t change your mind about Cecily for Remi? Xander Fuck you, Ron. My Cecily won’t be anyone’s but ours. Ronan Your loss, mon ami. There’s Glyn and Ava and they’ll fight over my Rem. Cole Leave my daughter out of this or you’ll regret it, Ron. Levi Submit a proposition with favourable conditions and I might consider giving Glyn away. Ronan Now we’re talking. Let me tell Remi the news. He should be okay with it since I taught him to keep his options open.

The old man raised us. He made us in his own image.” Jameson swung, and the ball went soaring. “Xan has his mind. Grayson got the gravitas. Nash has a savior complex. And I…” Another ball. Another shot. “I don’t know when to give up.

I’m pretty sure birthday head is in the Constitution,” he jokes, causing me to choke on my soda. “Ha, got you to laugh, you miserable shit. What’s going on? Tell Uncle Xan.” “Did you just call yourself Uncle Xan?” “Well I can’t call myself Daddy Xan, can I? I know how to read a room. So go on, what’s jumped up your ass?

Xan could see the memory lodged in the young man's heart. She could see how it had taken root, calcified, inflamed by his own guilt and shame.

He’s wrong. Xan and I will never change. I’ll always be his Green and he’ll always be my knight.

Lung cancer affects two out of every three adults over the age of 65.

Early-stage lung cancer is still treated with surgery, which is still regarded the "gold standard." Patients with localized disease have the highest chance of being cured if the tumor and surrounding lung tissue are removed.

Lung cancer is the second most frequent cancer in the United States, but it is also the deadliest, causing the most fatalities of all malignancies.

Small cell lung cancer, which accounts for around 15% of all lung malignancies, is less prevalent than non-small cell lung cancer. This kind of lung cancer grows quickly, is likely advanced at the time of diagnosis, and swiftly spreads to other parts of the body.

Lung cancer is a difficult disease to cure. The most important elements in influencing the survival rate are the cell type and stage at the time of diagnosis.

Those who are diagnosed at an early stage and are in a localized area may be cured.

Lung cancer has one of the lowest survival rates of all cancers due to this combination. Lung cancer patients had a 25 percent two-year survival rate. After five years, the survival rate declines to 15%.

He did not intend to love the baby. And yet... “Glerk,” the baby said, though it was probably a hiccup or a burp. Glerk didn’t care. She said his name. She said it. His heart nearly burst in his chest. Xan, for her part, did her best not to say, I told you so. She mostly succeeded.

When the goat’s milk ran out (as it invariably did—the trek was long, and milk is heavy), Xan did what any sensible witch would do: once it was dark enough to see the stars, she reached up one hand and gathered starlight in her fingers, like the silken threads of spiders’ webs, and fed it to the child.

Xan couldn’t take her eyes off the baby’s eyes. Suns and stars and meteors. The dust of nebulae. Big bangs and black holes and endless, endless Space. The moon rose, big and fat and shining. Xan reached up. She didn’t look at the sky. She didn’t notice the moon. (Did she notice how heavy the light felt on her fingers? Did she notice how sticky it was? How sweet?) She waved her fingers above her head. She pulled her hand down when she couldn’t hold it up anymore. (Did she notice the weight of magic swinging from her wrist? She told herself she didn’t. She said it over and over and over until it felt true.)

The people of the Protectorate screamed and ran from the wall, even as Antain desperately called out that they had nothing to fear. Xan looked up at the smoking peak. “There’s plenty to fear,” she said grimly. “It just doesn’t come from us.

Xan and I will never change. I’ll always be his Green and he’ll always be my knight.

Friends can break your heart, too, Xan,” Caleb whispered, tears welling again. “Just as badly, maybe sometimes worse than a lover. Because with a lover, from what I understand, you’re aware that it might not work out from the beginning, aren’t you? Unless you’re Érosgápe. With a friend, though, you don’t guard your heart.

I don’t believe I like your tone.” Xan puckered her wrinkled lips into a tight rosette in the middle of her face. The monster cleared his throat. “As the Poet famously said, dear lady: ‘I don’t give a rat’s—’ ” “GLERK!” the Witch shouted, aghast. “Language!” “Apologies,” Glerk said mildly, though he really didn’t mean it.

Kim bilir?! Bəlkə də, məni yüzlərlə əsrarəngiz hadisə gözləyir? Axı mən yaradıcı insanam. Real olmasa belə, yazacaq maraqlı bir əhvalat mütləq taparam bu qədər fərqli insanların bir yerə yaşadığı izdihamdan.

Əgər qaçmaq lazımdırsa, qorxuların üstünə qaç. Ölmək lazımdırsa, sevdiklərin üçün öl, həyatda qalmaq lazımdırsa, kişi kimi həyatda qal.

Afterward, she'd cautiously open the box and peek inside, inhaling deeply as she did so through her nose. "Cinnamon," she'd say. "And salt. Too much wind in the spell." And she write that down. Or: " Methane. No good. She'll accidentally fly away. Plus she'll be flammable. Even more than usual. " Or: " Is that sulfur? Great heavens. What are you trying to do, women? Kill the poor child?" She crossed several things off her list. "Has Auntie Xan gone mad?" Fyrian asked. "No, my friend," Glerk told him."But she has found herself in deeper water than she expected.

Kabier’s hand shot up in the air and Xan let out a single whine including himself in the conversation.

ran to the mayor, who alerted the League of Ladies, who alerted the Gentlemen’s Association and the Clockmakers Alliance and the Quilters and the Tinkers and the town school. By the time Xan hobbled into the widow woman’s garden, half the town was already there, setting up tables and tents, with legions upon legions of busybodies preparing themselves to fuss over the old woman. “Foolishness,” Xan sniffed, though she lowered herself gratefully into the chair that a young woman placed right next to the herb garden for her.

And she looked up at the stone just as a seam appeared down the middle and the two sides swung inward, like great stone doors. Not like stone doors, Xan thought. They are stone doors. The shape of the stone still stood like a doorway against the blue sky, but the entrance itself opened into the a very dim corridor where a set stone steps disappeared into the dark.

I won't forget," she said "You will surely forget, Xan. Have you not met yourself?

...And a tree stump became a very large, very pink, very perplexed looking g bird, who sat sprawled on the ground, wings akimbo, as if shocked by its own existence. Which, Xan reasoned, the poor thing probably was

Oh, piffle.

Skyler watched Xan approach with the look of a child being spoon-fed spinach.You can make all the airplane noises you want to, Mom, but it's not gonna make that green crap any more appetizing.
