thinking brave faces
We'd stared into the face of Death, and Death blinked first. You'd think that would make us feel brave and invincible. It didn't.
thinking gone wonder
When I cry - when I let myself cry - that's who I cry for. I don't cry for myself. I cry for the Cassie that's gone. And I wonder what that Cassie would think of me. The Cassie who kills.
thinking blood make-you-think
I'm one, too," he said. "What?" He spit a wad of blood and mucus into the dirt. "A virgin." What a shock. "What makes you think I'm a virgin?" I asked. "You wouldn't have hit me if you weren't.
beer thinking aliens
What were they thinking? 'It's an alien apocalypse! Quick, grab the beer!
native-american thinking silence
I'm not encouraged by the silence. I can think of no benign reason for it. I'm afraid we may expect something closer to Christopher Columbus's arrival in the Americas than a scene from Close Encounters, and we all know how that turned out for the Native Americans.
believe thinking stills
Still, you tend to believe what you always believed, think what you always thought, expect what you always expected
thinking bullshit knows
There's the bullshit you know that you know; the bullshit you don't know and know you don't know; and the bullshit you just think you know but really don't.
thinking hiroshima-and-nagasaki cliffs
Human beings are remarkably resilient. When you think about it, our species has been teetering upon the edge of the existential cliff since Hiroshima. In short, we endure.
children book thinking
I have a very low tolerance for boredom and often think I would have missed out on books entirely if Id grown up in the Internet and video game age. Now I enjoy books for people of all ages, including children.
husband thinking laughing
Afterward I told his widow, "Your husband is dead, but at least he died laughing.' I think she took some comfort in that. It is the second-best way to die, Will Henry." He did not say what the best way was.
stars night thinking
Sometimes in my tent, late at night, I think I can hear the stars scraping against the sky.
figure guess guy ran series trying tune works
'Tax Collector' was optioned for a series with F/X, but it never happened. I guess they ran into a problem trying to figure out why someone would tune in to watch a show about a guy who works for the IRS.
war heart faces
His heart, the war. Her face, the battlefield.
although seems took
I really kill myself on titles, although 'The 5th Wave' seems like an obvious title, doesn't it? You don't know how long that took me.
