“Ramona understood what Beezus meant, because she felt sad too, and her stomach felt tight when her father came home tired and discouraged after a day in the checkout line.

“Ramón examined the plate carefully and even lifted it to smell the tacos. There was no fishy scent at all---just a heavenly aroma of ocean mixed with heat. A crispy, yet not greasy, corn tortilla enveloped the fried and battered fish, garnished with lime, avocado, crema, cabbage, and pico de gallo, which was as fresh as his beloved abuela's salsa.
Ramón squeezed lime on the taco, raised it to his mouth, and took the first bite. The crunch of the cabbage contrasted with the soft avocado. But the real star was the fish. Crispy, spicy, and delicious. The buttery flesh melted in his mouth.
Ramón devoured both tacos in a matter of minutes.”

“Ramón kissed slowly down her body. His touch was gentle, but the teasing was unbearable. Julieta was going to explode. He spread her legs wide and licked her as pleasure throbbed through her. She thrashed around on the bed as he drove her out of her mind with delight.
She was almost there when he stopped, leaving her breathless. She caught the hungry look in his eye.
She pulled him up and knelt in front of him. She couldn't wait to suck his cock.
She gripped the base and took him deep.
Ramón groaned but nudged her head off him. "I want you."
Julieta's body was on fire.
Ramón was so gorgeous naked. His dark skin accentuated every muscle. He was an Aztec god. And she couldn't wait for him to conquer her.
He grabbed a condom and pulled it on.
She lay back, and he kissed her neck as she welcomed him deep into her soul.
"Oh, Ramón."
His hard body pressed against hers as his rhythm quickened. She screamed in ecstasy.
Ramón kissed her neck and then slid out slowly. Julieta ached without him. He sat up on the bed.
"Ride me."
Julieta slowly lowered herself onto him, inch by inch. She gasped. He filled her perfectly.
"Let me look at you," he said.
She smiled and then he smiled. And they both laughed. They kissed, and she started rubbing her clit against him, the tension sending pulses of pleasure through her brain.
He sucked on her nipples, and Julieta was almost over the edge of ecstasy. His hands clutched her bottom as he guided her rhythm. She threw her head back in abandon.
Julieta never wanted this moment to end. She was so close.
"Ay, Ramón!"
He held her close, and she came harder than she ever had as he grunted in pleasure.”

“Ramăsesem singurii care mai credeam în noi înșine. De aceea trăiam între noi, vânam între noi, ne căsătoream între noi. Lumea credea că suntem îngânfați. Eram doar timizi. Ne era teamă de ceilalți oameni. Ne era teamă de viitor, care era contrariul trecutului. Închideam în urma noastră toate ușile care dădeau spre o lume devenită prea mare pentru noi și pentru speranțele noastre înlănțuite de amintiri.”

“Ran into him? Are you not together?"
Cassie shook her head. "No."
Gage contradicted her by saying, "We are. We're getting married."
Cassie leaned into him and hissed. "Would you stop telling people that." She turned back to Sam and gave her a smile. "We're not getting married."
Gage used Cassie's hair to tip her head back again. He leaned over, giving her another kiss before saying, "Sunshine, we are."
Cassie yanked her hair out of his fist and took a step away from him. "Honey limpkins," she said, sarcastically, "we are not.”

“Ran lloró, apretando la cabeza del muchacho contra su pecho. Allí no había nada por lo que reír. No había nada divertido. Nada. Cuando la primavera se enfada, y contra todos libera su furia, nadie se atreve a sonreír. Solamente los Neko... y la muerte. Sobre todo la muerte.”

“Rancher Bundy should've told the feds that those were Mexican cows - who came across the border illegally to seek better grazing opportunities. It was an act of love.”
“Ranchers need clean water for their stock, farmers need it for their crops, every employer needs it to stay in business, and every living thing needs it for life... The law needs to be clear to protect water quality and the rights of landowners.”
“Rancor is an outpouring of a feeling of inferiority.”
“Rand al'Thor is a mule-headed, stone-willed fool of a...a...a man!”
“Rand Foxworth hat mir erzählt, er hätte die Grippe, aber Foxworth lügt so, wie alte Leute ficken.”
“Rand, Huxley, Orwell, and Bradbury foresaw much of today’s dystopian world: its spiritual and moral emptiness, its culture of consumerism, its flat-souled Last Manishness, its debasement of language, its doublethink, its illiteracy, and its bovine tolerance of authoritarian indignities. But they did not foresee the most serious and catastrophic of today’s problems: the eminent destruction of whites, and western culture.
None of them thought to deal with race at all. Why is this? Probably for the simple reason that it never occurred to any of them that whites might take slave morality so far as to actually will their own destruction. As always, the truth is stranger than fiction.”
“Rand managed a weak smile. Of all things he might want to think about right then, the Mayor's daughter was far down the list. He did not need any more confusion. For the past year she had been making him increasingly jittery whenever they were together. Worse, she did not even seem to be aware of it. No, he certainly did not want to add Egwene to his thoughts.”

“Rand Paul and Chris Christie both said vaccinations should be a choice, not a government mandate. Because when have Republicans ever told people what they could do with their own bodies?”
“Rand Paul is officially running for president. He even revealed his campaign slogan, which is 'Defeat the Washington machine. Unleash the American dream.' It's hard to tell if he's running for president or doing an infomercial for Bowflex.”
“Rand Paul is taking a week-long break from talking to the media to spend time with his family before he officially announces that he is running for president. Because nothing motivates you to be on the road for two straight years like a week alone with your family.”
“Rand Paul tried hard to upstage Donald Trump at the first debate, talking tough about his guns and his right not to register them. But with his pixie-ish perm, Paul does not impress me as the gunslinger type. Rand Paul is the RuPaul of politics. He would do better to defend his right to carry an unregistered blow-dryer and curling irons.”
“Rand rubbed his hands over his face. His anger had dissipated. “I’m sorry, Yelena. I was backed into a corner and I couldn’t get out without hurting someone.”

“Rand thought his spirits had sunk as low as they possibly could, but at that they slid deeper.
"There is a place of safety," Moiraine said softly, and Rand's ears pricked up to listen. "In Tar Valon you would be among Aes Sedai and Warders. Even during the Trolloc Wars the forces of the Dark One feared to attack the Shining Walls. The one attempt was their greatest defeat until the very end. And Tar Valon holds all the knowledge we Aes Sedai have gathered since the Time of Madness. Some fragments even date from the Age of Legends. In Tar Valon, if anywhere, you will be able to learn why the Myrddraal want you. Why the Father of Lies wants you. That I can promise.”

“Rand: When we were in Ireland, I sense you were getting too attached to me. I even started comparing myself to Rich, wondering if I was a bad as he was for preying on your feelings.
Alison: You're nothing like him. You're kind, decent and heroic.
Rand: I'm not the guy in the book you're going to write. You can't turn me into him.
Alison: What if you're already becoming him on your own.
Rand: You're just being idealistic.”

“Rand, maybe that's the answer they give to everybody. Those snake people, I mean. Got to Rhuidean. Maybe we don't have to be here at all.' He did not believe it, but with that fog staring him in the face. ... Rand turned his head to look at him, not speaking. Finally he said, 'They never mentioned Rhuidean to me, Mat.' 'Oh, burn me,' he muttered.”
“Rand`s [Paul] a libertarian. He has a view of the world that I don`t share. He said that we shouldn`t have any troops in Iraq. He agreed with Obama that was a disaster. When there was a chance to do something constructive about Syria with a no-fly zone, he said we don`t need one.”
“Randalf the Wise indeed!I've worn wiser pairs of underpants!”
“Randalin rushes toward the door, nearly running into Heather in his haste. He blinks at her in astonishment, clearly not prepared for the presence of a second mortal. Then he departs, avoiding even a glance in my direction.
'Big horns,' Heather mouths, looking after him. 'Little dude.'
Cardan leans against the doorframe, looking very satisfied with himself.”

“Randolph Maddix, a schizophrenic who lived at a private home for the mentally ill in Brooklyn, was often left alone to suffer seizures, his body crumpling to the floor of his squalid room. The home, Seaport Manor, is responsible for 325 starkly ill people, yet many of its workers could barely qualify for fast-food jobs. So it was no surprise that Mr. Maddix, 51, was dead for more than 12 hours before an aide finally checked on him. His back, curled and stiff with rigor mortis, had to be broken to fit him into a body bag.” THE NEW YORK TIMES April 28, 2002”
