I was exactly overjoyed when Zed filled me in about it all the first time.” “What did you do?” “Thumped him with a shopping bag and told him he was a jerk.” “Ouch.
Joss Stirling (Stealing Phoenix (Benedicts, #2))
Sky. Hope mixed with horror as I searched for Zed, quessing he would not have let his soulfinder walk into this situation alone.

Joss Stirling (Stealing Phoenix (Benedicts, #2))

I wasn’t sure, but I thought it kind of suited me. With the right shoes and everything.” I displayed the new blue pumps. “I wanted to look, you know, pretty.” Yves gaped. I felt a little bit sorry for him. “Um…Phee, I don’t know what to say.” I let my bright expression dim. “You… you think I look horrible in it?” My voice rose in a convincing squeak of distress. He put his hands on my soulders. “No, you look great. You always look great, no matter what you’re wearing.” Zed laughed. “Ouch. Wrong thing to say.

Rosalind James (Just Good Friends (Escape to New Zealand, #2))
Tell me a story,' demanded Fireflyer. 'Why? Do you eat them, too, then?' 'Only the ohs and ayes and ees and oos. The Kays are too spikey and the zeds are too buzzzy and the ones with the dots get stuck in your teeth and the esses sometimes slide down inside your vest and tickle.

John Green (Zombicorns)
These were the best moments. The kisses that just happened—that could only happen with Zed, the only man he felt fully comfortable with. Kisses were intimate and personal. They were promises without words. And, really, who needed words? Felix’s tongue never got him into trouble when he was kissing.
Kelly Jensen (Lonely Shore (Chaos Station, #2))
I wanted to be her north star. I wanted to be her map. I wanted to drink coffee with her in the cafes in the morning and do things, as you do, as she did, instead of just philosophizing about them and deconstructing their endless Russian-doll layers of meaning. I was alone before I met her. I wanted to disappear with her, and fold her into my life. I wanted to be her compass. I wanted to be her last speaker, her interpreter, her language. I wanted to be her translator, Zed, but none of the languages we knew were the same.

Robert J. Sawyer (Quantum Night)
The intellectual project of decolonizing has to set out ways to proceed through a colonizing world. It needs a radical compassion that reaches out, that seeks collaboration, and that is open to possibilities that can only be imagined as other things fall into place. Decolonizing Methodologies is not a method for revolution in a political sense but provokes some revolutionary thinking about the roles that knowledge, knowledge production, knowledge hierarchies and knowledge institutions play in decolonization and social transformation.
Leonardo Castellani (Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples)

I think it’s different for everyone, but all of us ignore warning signs and information to seek out the truth with our own eyes, or to hold on to hope where there is none.

took me until I was twenty to fully understand that there is no such thing as a grown-up.
Tyler Zed (Trailer Park Parable: A Memoir of How Three Brothers Strove to Rise Above Their Broken Past, Find Forgiveness, and Forge a Hopeful Future)
I am not a good man. There are many things I have done wrong in my life: mistakes, regrets, failures. In this, most men are the same. But in the end, all we can truly hope is that we are at least better masters, better fathers...Better friends than we had.
Odin Austin Shafer (League of Legends: Zed)
The message of decolonization issuing from many writers in the field is that the process of decolonizing can be extremely ‘messy’, often leading to extreme violence; and that in a political sense it can fail miserably, replacing one corrupt elite with its mimics.
Leonardo Castellani (Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples)
Zed: Trees live much longer; flowers are too fragile. If you neglect them, they wilt and die. Tessa: If only trees were as pretty as flowers Zed: They could be, if someone made them that way. Just the way we took ordinary flowers and turned them into this, the same could be done with a tree. If it was given the right type of attention and care, it could glow like these flowers, but be much stronger. Tessa: (silence) Zed: You deserve that type of attention. You deserve to be with someone who makes you glow, not who burns out your light.
Anna Todd
Zed pursed his lips and grabbed a nearby book. He placed Jillian’s hand on it and raised his hand. “Jillian Ramsay, I hereby deputize you as a law enforcement official in the Mystic Parish. Do you swear to follow Sheriff Bael Boone’s orders and uphold the law to the best of your ability?” “This is a copy of The Da Vinci Code,” she noted. “Do you swear?” “Define ‘follow orders,’ because I don’t want to accidentally enter into some sort of sex contract with Bael.” She jerked her thumb toward the sheriff, who bobbled the measuring tape he was holding and dropped it on Ted’s chest. Zed frowned. “You OK, buddy?
Molly Harper (How to Date Your Dragon (Mystic Bayou, #1))
She took one careful, expert step out onto the tightrope. He closed his eyes to avoid seeing the inevitable: the loss of balance, unbearable teetering, nightmare wingless descent. Surely no one survived this. A rope with no safety net and cobblestones beneath; he could already see the conspiracy unfolding between the rope and the cobblestones and the siren call of gravity, blood pooling outward from the shat tered skull. His hands were clenched fists in his pockets. He wanted to leave and spare himself the vision. But no one, Zed had scrawled once in a letter from Africa several years ago, should have to die without a witness. Eli forced himself to look at her.
Emily St. John Mandel (Last Night in Montreal)
It was a heady, overwhelming veil of scent. At first it developed almost hypnotically into a floral, fruit bouquet; languid and sensual with a musky, almost dusty depth. But then a sharpness emerged, beautiful, icy, unexpected. There was something almost overwhelming about the lush complexity of the formulation, the sheer unbridled eroticism which came across in wave after wave of contrasting notes. ‘This is floral, earthy, and there’s the clean overlay of aldehydic waxiness and soft flowers,’ Madame explained. ‘And then, underneath, a whiff of more feral, impolite essences. Under the clean, innocent exterior there’s a carnal presence. It’s not without ulterior motive.’ Grace stared hopelessly. Here was a language she definitely didn’t understand. ‘I’m sorry?’ Madame Zed looked across at her. ‘This, Mrs Munroe, is the scent of intoxication and desire. The perfume of seduction.
Kathleen Tessaro (The Perfume Collector)
This is your opportunity! The Zed, shine your eyes! They call it a big-big name, evaluation consulting, but it is not difficult. You undervalue the properties and make sure it looks as if you are following due process. You acquire the property, sell off half to pay your purchase price, and you are in business! You’ll register your own company. Next thing, you’ll build a house in Lekki and buy some cars and ask our hometown to give you some titles and your friends to put congratulatory messages in the newspapers for you and before you know, any bank you walk into, they will want to package a loan immediately and give it to you, because they think you no longer need the money! And after you register your own company, you must find a white man. Find one of your white friends in England. Tell everybody he is your General Manager. You will see how doors will open for you because you have an oyinbo General Manager. Even Chief has some white men that he brings in for show when he needs them. That is how Nigeria works. I’m telling you.
Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie (Americanah)
New Girl was now starring Zed La'Frank a female Spinosaurus. Mad Men became almost unwatchable due to the fact that Don Draper was now played by an flamboyant Velociraptor. Game of Thrones was made up of an entire cast of Triceratops, all whom had never even acted before. It seemed like the dinosaurs were getting a kick out of taking over our greatest entertainment and replacing it with their talentless artists. It was infuriating.
Hunter Fox (A Billionaire Dinosaur Forced Me Gay- Part Two: Dinosaur Erotica)

Plus, I wondered if any of these celebrities were alive; or if Brangelina was now a zombified couple.
Shannon Jaeger (The Zed Spire)
Yes,” Elias said with his mind voice, standing. His long Enderman body towered over me in the sunlight. “Most zombies have problems with their minds, and forget things very quickly. They live in the moment, every moment, and don’t last long. You … are unique, Skeleton Steve. Zebulon is unique too, it seems. Both of you have retained sharp minds in your undead states. But, even still, you don’t know who you are, and our main quest, during my Seed Stride, is to try to recover your memories. You, my friend, have problems with your own mind as well…” “Yeah, I guess so,” I replied. Foom! I heard another gout of flame from down below. “I’m on fire! I’m on fire!!” a zombie shouted. “Zed’s on fire! It’s Zed!” another cried. I scoffed. “Oh, come on!!” I shouted, dropped down to the ladder, and scrambling to get out to the street. “Really?!” Running through the open doorway, stepping over the remnants of the shattered wooden door, I saw another zombie on fire, wandering around the cobblestone street. Flames sputtered and sparked and licked at his body and clothes—I couldn’t even see his face. “Zed?!” I asked. “Is that you??” “I’m on fire!” Zed said. “I’m on fire!” I recognized his voice.

We purposely sought liberal's news sources for most of the facts, so there is no refuting the information being given. Why? It’s either accept the information or say the information reported on by the liberal's news sites is fake news.

Bill Clinton - “We are a nation of immigrants. But we are also a nation of laws. It is wrong and ultimately self-defeating for a nation of immigrants to permit the kind of abuse of our immigration laws we have seen in recent years, and we must do more to stop it.” Chuck Schumer - “People who enter the US without our permission are illegal aliens.” Obama - “We simply cannot allow people into the U.S. undocumented.” Hillary - “Just because your child gets across the border, that doesn’t mean the child gets to stay.

When you also have a group named “Black Lives Matter,” you are insinuating that swaths of people think that black lives don’t matter. It’s not only absurd to say such things, but it’s extremely divisive.

The women above are now some of the most powerful people that have ever lived. And to undermine their achievement just because you’re mad that you lost an election or because you don’t like President Trump is shameful.

The man gives no outward signs,” she sighed. “You’re clearly a bear shifter.” “What do you mean, clearly?” Zed exclaimed, obviously insulted. “You mentioned hibernation three times this morning. And your name is Berend.
Molly Harper (How to Date Your Dragon (Mystic Bayou, #1))
She grinned at him. “Come on, be a buddy. If you pass out, I’ll carry you back to town!” Bael stopped her mid-swing, lifted her arm, examined her bicep and made a skeptical face. “I would go get Zed and he would carry you back to town,” she conceded.
Molly Harper (How to Date Your Dragon (Mystic Bayou, #1))
It was bad enough that Zed came into his office to “officially rebuke” him. He wore a tie and everything. It was clipped on to his t-shirt, but it was still pretty clear Zed was wearing his Mayor hat and not his friend hat.
Molly Harper (How to Date Your Dragon (Mystic Bayou, #1))
What do you see when you touch me now?" Riff asked, his gaze searching Zed's face. Once again, Zed sensed that electric zing of sexual awareness. Riff Definitely knew what he wanted, "Enough heat to set me on fire. Hunger that matches my own.

We used to call ourselves Team Zed. It sort of fell out of use after we had built up a decan of better reasons to feel like a family, but it still gets a wink and a grin every once in a while.
Elizabeth Bear (Ancestral Night (White Space, #1))
It was a sunny day when Farooq-Lane, Ronan and Hennessy approached the house. A workday. It was quiet. All around, people were puttering about on their ordinary city business, business that relied on the principle that today would become tomorrow. Even if they had been one of the many who’d seen the bomb’s apocalyptic vision, none of them could have guessed that the sunny day they’d seen then was very likely the sunny day they were living now. Farooq-Lane was mired in the paradox of premonition: The vision had said she and the Zeds would be there at the end of the world, and so they were here now, kicking off the end of the world. Would the apocalypse still go on if they simply never showed up at this building? Or would the vision have reflected that, too? Cause and effect felt murky as the day was bright.
Maggie Stiefvater (Greywaren (Dreamer Trilogy, #3))
Zed was at her side, as always, and for once I was actually happy to see him. Even if he was head over heels in love with my girl.

Oh. I didn’t know you were a follower of the Divine I.T.” Zed shook his head as he recalled the strange cultists that tried to live by the words of powerful Ascenders. “The golden rule ‘turn it off and on again, to function better than it has been’? I guess; who am I to judge your beliefs?

Joanna Kavenna (Zed: A Novel)
Look, the predictive algorithms have worked beautifully for ages. We have saved scores of lives. We have averted countless terrorist attacks. We have enhanced the quality of life of all verified users. There have been a couple of recent glitches but, with respect to the families of the dead, it is absurd to suggest these are anything more than exceptionally unusual anomalies. Due to the zettabytes of data we have amassed, we have a unique understanding of the human soul, of its desires and intentions, of the desires and intentions of humans in general and humans in particular. We have offered this unprecedented knowledge of the past, present, and future to the security services and the police, to combat the extreme threat from terror and keep our people safe. You are the beneficiaries, and you are complaining.
Joanna Kavenna (Zed: A Novel)
These people could not be bailed out, of course, because the free market was free. Of course, at times of financial crisis the Government did, in fact, bail out the major institutions of the free market, but this did not in any way undermine the fundamental notion that the market must be free and this bailing out could, of course, not be extended to individuals within the free market. Some people are, alas, not intellectually capable of understanding arguments about such complex things.

your question, yes, I think Raymond is going to be waiting for us. I don’t have the full story yet, but he has a hard-on for Marcia. I’m not sure if he wants to kill her or capture her, but I can tell you this, he’s not going to let her go.” “Then wait until the day after tomorrow for an extraction. That’ll give Gray and the others time to be part of the rescue effort. They’ll make sure you and Marcia are covered.” Zed looked over at the two women and the baby and weighed their options. He really wanted to get the child proper care. “I’ll take it under advisement. We’ll see how Hana is doing. I don’t want her to suffer needlessly.” “Makes sense. Just keep me up-to-date.” “Dex, we have another issue I need you to

Zed just stared, then shook his head in disbelief and sipped his drink. "I never picked you for a sub, Hades. You legitimately ooze big dick energy worse than any gangster I've met. I can't imagine you giving up control in any situation.
Tate James (7th Circle (Hades, #1))
Sometimes, Zed, I get tired. Sometimes I need a break from being me." I paused then added. "Doesn't make me a sub, though. Only makes me want Cass to throw me around his bedroom.
Tate James (7th Circle (Hades, #1))
So, if I'm not your employee until tomorrow... does that offer to go back to your place still stand?" Surprise jolted through me. He still wanted to fuck, even knowing who I was? Or because of who I was? Ugh, this was the whole problem with my notoriety; it was impossible to know who was interested in me, Hayden, and not me, Hades. So I just used men and cast them aside before feelings could get involved. Biting back a smile, I shook my head. "Sorry, that offer dissolved the second Zed outed me." I nodded to the contract. "Make smart choices, Lucas.
Tate James (7th Circle (Hades, #1))
You coming, Hades?" the bastard called out to me, smug as fuck. "Or have you already conducted all the auditioning you need?" It took a second, but when Lucas clicked the pieces together, I could have died. The hurt and anger that crossed his gorgeous face was almost enough for me to shoot Zed in the fucking kneecap. Mother. Fucker. Gritting my teeth, I rolled my shoulders and adopted my normal, harsh, resting bitch face once more. "Lucas is here for a front-of-house job, Zed," I snapped, brushing past both men with my spine ramrod straight. "Nothing more. Come along, then.
Tate James (7th Circle (Hades, #1))
Zed hadn’t called me by that nickname in over five years now, not since the massacre. That was the night I’d truly become Hades.
Tate James (7th Circle (Hades, #1))
Cass had just sent me my very own sex tape with Lucas. Crap. "Is that porn?" Seph squealed, sitting up on my bed and snatching for my phone. I dodged out of her reach, hitting the close button on the side of my phone to cut both audio and video, just in case. "Dare! Show me!" "Hell fucking no," I exclaimed, dancing away from her and pointing at my door. "Now get out of my room; I need to call Zed." Seph stood up, her fists on her hips in outrage. "Zed was here all night; you could have talked then." Her brow creased, then she gasped. "Oh my god, is that home porn? Did you and Zed—

So much of what Zed had said to the Scotland Yard detective was bluster, and he knew it. After he dropped her off at her hotel, he didn’t return to Windermere. Instead, he went across the main road through Milnthorpe and made his way to the street that ran east to west along the market square. There was a Spar shop at a junction where another street led off to a grim-looking housing estate of unremittingly grey roughcast, and he parked nearby and went inside. It was cluttered and hot and it suited both his mood and his thoughts

if spiritual forces operate in a different sphere to the rule of law and human rights, then democratic politics is failing to deal with a fundamental problem in people’s lives and after-lives. the repercussions of AIDS for the moral cosmology are profound indeed. the secular frameworks of epidemiology and public policy will not by themselves be enough to make sense of the virus and epidemic. we need to develop and deploy metaphors that speak to the social world, constructed around moral imaginings which are impacted by AIDS and which in turn constrain social capabilities to respond to AIDS. we should also be alert to the fact that scholars and policy makers themselves are unable to think about the crisis that is AIDS without using language and imagery borrowed from another realm of human experience. how we think about the AIDS epidemic becomes its own reality. yet we must not lose sight of the virus and the disease. (…) AIDS represents the ordinary workings of biology, not an irrational or diabolical plague with moral meaning. HIV transmission is preventable and medication is available that can extend a healthy life for those living with HIV. science can triumph, given resources, policies and the right social and political context.
