“I’ve had a tense couple of days. And I’ve got to tell you, burning someone’s face off sounds like a great way to relax.”

“'Anger is just anger. It isn't good. It isn't bad. It just is. What you do with it is what matters. It's like anything else. You can use it to build or to destroy. You just have to make the choice.'

'Constructive anger,' the demon said, her voice dripping sarcasm. 

'Also known as passion,' I said quietly. 'Passion has overthrown tyrants and freed prisoners and slaves. Passion has brought justice where there was savagery. Passion has created freedom where there was nothing but fear. Passion has helped souls rise from the ashes of their horrible lives and build something better, stronger, more beautiful.'”

"Now it isn't that I don't like you, Susan, because, after all, in moments of quiet, I'm strangely drawn toward you, but - well, there haven't been any quiet moments."

"There might be more to pleasure than the absence of pain, but she couldn't prove it just now. The absence of pain, of other human beings and their needs pressing down on her, seemed paradise enough. A paradise just out of reach."

"Right. So at the dawn of puberty, she'd learned no one would defend her, she could not defend herself, and the only way to survive was to pretend to be dead. Great. And if there was a more fatally wrong move some awkward fellow could possibly make at this moment than to take her in his arms and try and comfort her, it escaped his wildest imaginings. If she needed to be stone right now because it was the only way she knew how to survive, let her be marble, let her be granite."

Daphne and Geraldine looked with bemused alarm at the world around them. It seemed entirely the wrong shade of green.

As Lobsang followed the ambling Lu-Tze, he heard the master, who like all teachers never missed an opportunity to drive home a lesson, say: "Dojo! What is Rule One!"

Even the cowering challenger mumbled along with the chorus: "Do not act incautiously when confronting a little bald wrinkly smiling man!"

~Terry Pratchett, Thief of Time

demn.

A dignified destain delights in denouncing all with dainty paws.

Ugh.

9 a.m. Ugh. Cannot face thought of going to work. Only thing which makes it tolerable is thought of seeing Daniel again, but even that is inadvisable since am fat, have spot on chin, and desire only to sit on cushion eating chocolate and watching Xmas specials. It seems wrong and unfair that Christmas, with its stressful and unmanageable financial and emotional challenges, should first be forced upon one wholly against one's will, then rudely snatched away again just when one is starting to get into it. Was really beginning to enjoy the feeling that normal service was suspended and it was OK to lie in bed as long as you want, put anything you fancy into your mouth, and drink alcohol whenever it should chance to pass your way, even in mornings. Now suddenly we are all supposed to snap into self-discipline like lean teenage greyhounds.

~Helen Fielding, Bridget Jones's Diary
