Quote by Jill Shalvis

“It was on the table when I got here," Matt said in his defense. Josh eyed the open magazine. "You don't already know how to satisfy your boyfriends in bed?" Matt ignored this. "Did either of you know there's ninety-nine ways to give a blow job? That's ninety-nine nights of blow jobs." "Look at you with the math skills," Josh said. Matt flipped him off while Ty flipped the page. "'How to Give Your Hoo-Ha a Spa Day.' Huh," he said. "I didn't know a woman's hoo-ha needed a spa day.”

“Spending time with Savannah made me wonder whether it was possible to defy the norm. I wanted more of her, and no matter what happened between us, I already knew I'd never forget anything about her. As crazy as it sounded, she was becoming part of me, and I was already dreading the fact that we wouldn't be able to spend the day together tomorrow. Or the day after, or the day after that. Maybe, I told myself, we could beat the odds.' - John”

“Te-ai făcut mai deştept în ultimul cincinal, frăţioare literat. Poţi să defineşti imago în cazul ăsta precis, adică să defineşti ce înseamnă o fiinţă matură? Care sunt criteriile pentru vârsta adultă? Nu doar capacitatea de reproducere. Poate simţul responsabilităţii? Spiritul de independenţă? Gradul de conştiinţă? — Criterii calitative, şi nu cantitative! Asta-i, zise Kolesnik. Uite la ce ajungi cu raţionamentul tău: iniţierea e un lucru greu de determinat, cât despre responsabilitate, cum o măsori? Şi după tine, o larvă umană se transformă în imago printr-un proces de iniţiere? Viktor Iulievici insistă: — Trăim într-o societate de larve, de oameni imaturi, de adolescenţi cu mască de adulţi, pricepi Mişka?”

“Ce sunt aripile? Terminațiile ascuțite și umede ale unui mecanism de zbor bine întocmit, vârâte în crăpătura membranei chitinoase. Aripa, eliberată din strânsoare, se întinde printr-o mișcare lungă, lină, se desface zvântându-se în aer, și iat-o pregătită pentru o primă zbatere. Cu o rețea de nervuri ca la libelulă sau membranoasă ca la fluturi, cu un desen al nervației complicat și desăvârșit, veche de când lumea și incapabilă să se plieze sau foarte nouă și pliindu-se rapid și sigur... Își ia zborul ființa înaripată lăsând pe pământ învelișul de chitină, sicriul ei gol și aerul nou îi umple plămânii noi, și o muzică nouă îi răsună în organul auzului, nou și perfecr alcătuit.”

“Onstage, Hendrix was trying to get a young couple to engage in a dialogue sequence. The pair sat in armchairs facing each other, and Hendrix old the man, Michael, to pay his wife of three months, Tara, a compliment. 'What I appreciate most about you is that you're a good cook,' Michael said. 'So what I'm hearing you saying is that you appreciate that I'm a good cook,' Tara said, She seemed bored. To prompt Michael, Hendrix began, 'When I think about you as a good cook, I feel--' 'When I think about you as a good cook,' Michael said, 'I feel full, sleepy, and-- sexy.' 'Really?' asked Tara, a little annoyed. The woman sitting next to me groaned. Hendrix jumped in, 'When I think about you as a good cook, it reminds me of... try to find something from your childhood.' 'When I think about you as a good cook, I--' Michael stopped, then started over. 'When the house smells good, it reminds me of home and when my mom cooked and I feel loved.' Tara repeated him, her eyes now glassy with affection. Unprompted, she spoke the next line in the sequence: 'Is there anything more to that?' There wasn't. They hugged for sixty seconds as the rest of us watched. Hendrix told the crowd that the length of the average hug is three to nine seconds, but that a good hug, one that 'pushes the boundaries of relationship,' takes a whole minute.”
