Newly returned to FF (a return almost three years in the making) because this site is just so exquisite! I've sadly dropped off of the Bones wagon, but a deep love for Castle and Rookie Blue has carried me back. Here's hoping it sticks...

Favorite Quotes:

To die would be an awfully big adventure. - J.M. Barrie

The tongue is the interpreter of the heart. - Arabic proverb

“Tell me, I'm begging you, how she came to discover just how much she wanted from him, how she knew what she desired of him.”
His eyes returned to hers, with a fixed gaze that was becoming a bit haggard.
“I imagine that one day,” he said, “one morning at dawn, she knew suddenly what she wanted of him. Everything became so clear for her that she told him of her desire. There is no explanation, I think, for that kind of discovery.”- Duras, Moderato Cantabile (From one of the ANs in tempecameron's Maternal Instinct)

Other FF quotes (Some of these I don't remember the origin of, but I hope you enjoy them anyway!)

“I can do more good here, with you, then I can anywhere else. I like what I do- what we do. I have no plans on going anywhere that I can’t take you with me.”

“You look at me like I’m everything! You look at me and I feel like if I walk away, if I look away, I’m nothing.”

It doesn’t mean anything… but don’t you wish it meant everything?

How do you explain a love that completely consumes you?

"What’s the best kind of love?"
“The best kind of love? It’s the kind that breaks your heart."

Fiat justitia ruat caelum. - Let justice be done, though the heavens fall.

“Don’t you ever wish that things were easier?” Her voice was quiet, but the impact of her meaning hit him fully, and suddenly he felt very tired.
“Yes, Temperance. I do.” (That's a scene from Drink Deeply, by SkylaraK. One of my very favorite stories!)

"How do you always know?" she whispered, not turning around.
"Know what?"
"Exactly what I need."
He took a deep breath. He wasn't sure this was the time, but he couldn't keep it inside any longer. "Because I love you."
Her breath caught. She closed her eyes, letting the words wash over her. She opened her eyes. "I know," she whispered. Clutching the paper in her hand, she reached over, opened the door, and walked out, slowly closing the door behind her. (From This Moment, by flyersfan3588)

"Okay, you don’t have to tell me now, but you listen to me. If someone wants you, or lusts after you, and God forbid, even loves you – then you let them. There’s no more grandiosity in this life, Brennan. No more princes who’ll slay the dragons and neither are we Cinderella. So pay attention to the little things, ‘cause most of the time, they’re all we’ve got; and all the time, they’re more than enough." (From Make Things Right, by raydyan)

“You know, Booth… most people spend their lives following dreams. We spend ours chasing nightmares.”
“Better that then the nightmares chase us.”
She lifted her glass of iced tea, and he followed suit.
“Then here’s to the pursuit of unhappiness.”
“Long may it deviate.”
(From Seasons Without Sun, by The Apothecary)
