I didn't know it then - I couldn't have - but in that moment, the rest of my life, or what was left of it, began.
Emma Scott in Full TiltShe gave a little gasp and her lips parted for me. I deepened the kiss, while wondering how I'd lived twenty-four years without having kissed her before.
Emma Scott in Forever Right Now"Everything good in my life is because of you. How do I thank you for that?"
"You don't, silly. Just love me, Sawyer."
"Not this time." I said, gruffly. "Hold on to me." She raised her eyes to mine, uncertain. "Sawyer…" "And I'll hold on to you, okay?" I said. "Just as tightly."
Emma Scott in Forever Right NowI'm scared shitless… and yet when I'm with you, I see something real. For the first time in my life, I want whatever we have to be real.

"He's the sun god," I said.
"That's not what I meant."
Life is only precious because it ends, kid.

Rick Riordan in Percy Jackson - 5: Die letzte GöttinWhere's the glory in repeating what others have done?
Rick Riordan in Percy Jackson - 1: Diebe im OlympAll I could think of was that the teachers must've found the illegal stash of candy I'd been selling out of my dorms room. Or maybe they'd realized I got my Essay on Tom Sawyer from the Internet without ever reading the book and now they were going to take away my grade.

Rick Riordan in Percy Jackson - 1: Diebe im OlympYou will see things just as they are, being a half-blood, but humans will interpret things quite differently. Remarkable, really, the lengths to which humans will go to fit things into their version of reality.

"Na danke", sagte Pippi, "das hab ich einmal einen ganzen Tag lang getan, und da hab ich so viel Weisheit in mich reinbekommen, dass mir jetzt noch der Kopf brummt."
"You really should go to school and learn to write better," said Annika. "No thanks very much," said Pippi. "I did that a whole day once and got so much learning stuffed into my head that it's still sploshing around in there."
Astrid Lindgren in Pippi Langstrumpf"Wunderbar! Bezaubernd!"
"Was findest du so bezaubernd?", fragte Tommy.
"Mich", sagte Pippi zufrieden.
"Delightful! Delightful!"
"What's so delightful?", Tommy asked.
"I am," said Pippi pleased with herself.
"Kommt herein oder bleibt draußen, wie ihr wollt!", rief Pippi. "Ich zwinge niemanden."
"Come in or stay where you are, it's entirely up to you," called Pippi. "I never force anyone!"
Astrid Lindgren in Pippi LangstrumpfIn a way, it's nice to know that there are Greek gods out there, because you have somebody to blame when things go wrong. For instance, when you're walking away from a bus that's just been attacked by monster hags and blown up by lightning, and it's raining on top of everything else, most people might think that's just really bad luck; when you're a half-blood, you understand that some divine force is really trying to mess up your day.

TrennungFriedrich Schiller in Die Jungfrau von OrleansNicht Stimmenmehrheit ist des Rechtes Probe.
The voice of the majority is no proof of justice.
Friedrich Schiller in Maria StuartDas Leben ist
Nur ein Moment, der Tod ist auch nur einer!
Life is but a moment,
but so is death!
Der Ring macht Ehen,
Und Ringe sind's, die eine Kette machen.
Rings make marriages,
And rings make chains aswell.
Mädchen, kannst du ewig hassen?
Verzeiht gekränkte Liebe nie?
Das Wort ist frei,
Die Tat ist stumm, der Gehorsam blind.
Säumt man so lang, so wird der Feind gewarnt.
Wait too long and warn your enemy.
WartenFriedrich Schiller in Wilhelm TellOh, der ist noch nicht König, der der Welt
Gefallen muß! Nur der ist's, der bei seinem Tun
Nach keines Menschen Beifall braucht zu fragen.
Jede Straße führt ans Ende der Welt.
Every street leads to the end of the world.
