“All snowmen look to the sky, knowing their death will be delivered by the horizon. Before dawn, their life becomes the darkest. The moment before the sun burns all. The Snowmen go mental. Kill or be killed. I only just escaped the violent puddles, the sticks and stones. The broken carrot noses.” LooksMomentsSunKnowingSkyBrokenStonesSticksViolentNosesDawnHorizonCarrotsPuddlesSticks And StonesSnowman Author:Craig Stone

“For all of my life it was the size of my rear that caused me the most hand-wringing, but in this nearly-50 zone it is my stomach that is the problem. It seems to have broken free from its moorings and there is no knowing how far it will roam.” ProblemHandsSeemsKnowingBrokenSizeZoneStomach Author:Marian Keyes
“Henry's universe was modeled on the highball. It was a mixture in which half a pint of the fizziest philosophical and scientific ideas all but drowned a small jigger of immediate experience, most of it strictly sexual. Broken reeds are seldom good mixers. They're far too busy with their ideas, their sensuality and their psychosomatic complaints to be able to take an interest in other people - even their own wives and children. They live in a state of the most profound voluntary ignorance, not knowing anything about anybody, but abounding in preconceived opinions about everything.” PeopleChildrenIdeasStatesAbleUniverseInterestHalfOpinionKnowingWifeIgnoranceBrokenPhilosophicalProfoundBusySensualityNot KnowingComplaintsMixturesToo BusyReedsPintsInterest In Others Book:Great Short Works of Aldous Huxley Source: Great Short Works of Aldous Huxley
“Even still, we run. We have not reached our average of 57.92 years without knowing that you run through it, and it hurts and you run through it some more, and if it hurts worse, you run through it even more, and when you finish, you will have broken through. In the end, when you are done, and stretching, and your heartbeat slows, and your sweat dries, if you've run through the hard part, you will remember no pain.” IfsYearsStillsEndsHardDoneRunningPainRememberHurtKnowingBrokenAverageSweatIt HurtsHeartbeatStretchingNo Pain Book:The Monsters of Templeton Source: The Monsters of Templeton
“It was the kind of promise a father makes easily and sincerely, knowing at the same time that it will be impossible to keep. The truth of some promises is not as important as whether or not you can believe in them, with all your heart. A game of baseball can't really make a summer day last forever. A home run can't really heal all the broken places in our world, or in a single human heart. And there was no way that Mr. Feld could keep his promise never to leave Ethan again. All parents leave their children one day.” WorldWayBelieveHumansHeartKindChildrenImportantHomeRunningLastsFatherGamesParentForeverKnowingImpossibleBrokenPromiseOne DaySummerBaseballHealOur WorldHuman HeartSincerelyHome RunSummer Days Book:Summerland Source: Summerland
“Gradually, the night stumbled as if stunned and wandering aimlessly into an overcast day -- limped through the wilderland of transition as though there were no knowing where the waste of darkness ended and the ashes of light began. The low clouds seemed full of grief -- tense and uneasy with accumulated woe -- and yet affectless, unable to rain, as if the air clenched itself too hard for tears. And through the dawn, Atiaran and Covenant moved heavily, unevenly, like pieces of a broken lament.” IfsHardLightNightGriefDarknessKnowingPiecesAirTearsBrokenWasteLowsRainMovedCloudsWanderDawnTransitionAshesWoeTenseCovenantUneasyLamentStunnedOvercastWandering Aimlessly Book:Lord Foul's Bane Source: Lord Foul's Bane
