So when I got to be about 13 or 14, I started listening - even though my parents music was way cool - to contemporary hard rock at that time, which was Aerosmith, Cheap Trick, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Ted Nugent and all that, and that's just where I came from. ↗

I hear that you were on a date with Trouble Kelp. Are you two planning on building a bivouac any time soon? ↗

Quite some years ago, I started travelling the planet. I thought this would learn me something about the world we live in. I was wrong... It learned me something about myself. It changed me. And nothing will ever again be black-and-white again. ↗

That’s right, Sadie. For our first real date, I picked up Zia in a boat pulled by a deranged griffin. So what? Like your dates aren’t weird? ↗

I was vegetarian for a long time, and in the last four years I started eating chicken and fish. I feel like it really built up my strength a lot. ↗

Trebuie să dăm totul la o parte şi sâ atacăm făţiş adevărata problemă. Oamenii se sinucid pentru că viaţa nu merită să fie trăită, iată, fără îndoială, un adevăr — nefecund totuşi, pentru că e un truism. Dar această insultă adusă existenţei, această dezminţire ce i se dă vine oare din faptul că existenţa n-are nici un sens? Cere absurditatea ei sa i te sustragi, prin speranţă sau prin sinucidere? Iată ce trebuie să scoatem la lumină, să urmărim şi să ilustrăm, înlăturînd tot restul. Obligă oare absurdul la moarte? Iată problema ce trebuie discutată înaintea oricărei alteia, în afara tuturor metodelor de gîndire şi a jocurilor spiritului dezinteresat. Nuanţele, contradicţiile, psihologia pe care un spirit «obiectiv» ştie să le introducă în orice problemă nu-şi au locul în această căutare şi în această pasiune. Aici e nevoie doar de o gîndire logică. Lucrul nu-i simplu. E uşor să fii logic. Dar e aproape imposibil să fii logic pînă la capăt. Oamenii care mor pe propria lor mînă urmează astfel pînă la capăt drumul indicat de sentimentul lor. ↗

I started to put on weight when I was about four and a half and it got really bad when I was around nine. I ballooned. I was about 110 pounds. ↗

" push up your hair," I told Carter. " I need to paint your forehead." " I'm not plunging to my death with LOSER painted on my head! " He pushed his hair out of the way. I painted the glyphs for fire and shield on his forehead, and immediately my brother burst into flame. I know—it was like a dream come true and a nightmare, all at once. He danced around, spewing some very creative curse words before realizing the flame wasn't hurting him. ↗

He grinned. It was a wicked grin, the kind that made the blood in Clary's veins run a little faster. "You want to go on a date?" Caught off guard, she stammered. "A wh-what?" "A date," Jace repeated. "Often 'a boring thing you have to memorize in history class,' but in this case, 'an offering of an evening of blisteringly white-hot romance with yours truly." "Really?" Clary was not sure what to make of this. "Blisteringly white-hot?" "It's me," said Jace. "Watching me play Scrabble is enough to make most women swoon. Imagine if I actually put in some effort. ↗

Do you understand any of this?" he said, pointing to the lines and symbols that covered the massive screens. "Some people understand the value of an education." Hale stretched and crossed his legs, the settled his arm around Kat's shoulders. "That's sweet, Kat. Maybe later I'll buy you a university. And an ice cream." "I'd settle for the ice cream." "Deal. ↗
