Adhering Quotes : pic 000672117

a moulding of the confusion of life into form.
Adhering Quotes : pic 001567428
My work was practice, practice, practice. Discouragement and weariness cast me down frequently; but the next moment the thought that I should soon be at home and show my loved ones what I had accomplished spurred me on, and I eagerly looked forward to their pleasure in my achievement.

Adhering Quotes : pic 001160347

Adhering Quotes : pic 000158824
Merry kept talking, but he lost the thread. She wandered closer. With the knots banished, she gripped the tail of the rope in her fist, making an L of her arm and winding the length around her elbow in uniform loops. Rough, rasping rope against that smooth, perfect skin. And Rob on his knees.

Adhering Quotes : pic 000542619

Adhering Quotes : pic 001303993

Adhering Quotes : pic 001271122
A woman puts on a new dress eyeliner lip gloss to please others. A woman paints her toes to please herself. And if there was one thing I was familiar with it was pleasing ... There's no way to finish that sentence without embarrassing myself.

Adhering Quotes : pic 000961512

Adhering Quotes : pic 000223461
It is the timber of poetry that wears most surely, and there is no timber that has not strong roots among the clay and worms.
Adhering Quotes : pic 001510997
The living tongue that tells the word, the living ear that hears it, bind and bond us in the communion we long for in the silence of our inner solitude.
