Love of all creatures, humankind or kind, needn't always be repaid, reciprocated, or even known.
But if you feel something for someone today, do not hold back your emotions. If he or she cannot be in your possession, he or she is without the pain you might give in this, albeit beautiful but crazy dilemma of love, but will be loved by you for as long as you can remember. And to truly be stirred in this strawberry swirl of sweetness, is a moment to be thankful for. To love is the greatest gift of life, and to be loved, always something to be grateful for.
And to proclaim your love for someone, girls, that is something you'd always thank yourself for. That is more courage than the most respectable and romantic guy could ever muster. And if the guy turns out to be a pig about it, step away and smile. Because, thank God, you never had him.
--Juliet Pang, Taken

I'm tired of people feeling like in order to be a Christian, they have to fit the cookie-cutter mold. Being a Christian has nothing to do with the kind of clothes you wear, the type of music you like, your haircut or your skin color. It has everything to do with the disposition of your heart and the integrity of your actions. You do not have to be a white, middle-class, clean cut, Gap-wearing kid to be a Christian. Christ embraces our uniqueness and calls us to 'be all things to all people.--Righteous B

And the previews are all cracked out with a brawl and some guy trying to get with Kate and then pulling a gun on everyone and Harold Perrineau finds a pair of handcuffs in the jungle, like, Dude! The invisible dinosaurs are into S&M, man! And Dominic's all like, OMGWTF IS THIS PLACE? And I'm thinking, this is J.J. Abrams, man. Y'all are probably in some secret CIA experiment to engineer invisible mechasaurs or something, only they've taken over the world so the CIA went back in time and stranded y'all on a tropical island so you could perpetuate the species, only now the mechasaurs have found you, and you know what? Them bitches are hungry.--cleolinda, describing the previews for the second episode of Lost, 9/22/04

Just then Joshua stumbled through the gate and crashed into us. We were able to catch ourselves and him before anyone fell. The Messiah was holding the little girl's pet bunny, hugging it to his cheek with the big back feet swinging free. He was gloriously drunk. "Know what?" Josh said. "I love bunnies. They toil not, neither do they bark. Henceforth and from now on, I decree that whenever something bad happens to me, there shall be bunnies around. So shall it be written. Go ahead, Biff, write it down." He waved to me under the bunny, the turned and started back through the gate. "Where's the friggin' wine? I got a dry bunny over here!"--from Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal, Christopher Moore

I love Teh Gay and the boys as much as the next trendy fangirl, but when push comes to shove, I will always, always, side with the ovaries.--monimala, about female characters in fandom, here.
