Weekly Quote Wednesday
Writing quote
“The most important things are the hardest to say. They are the things
you get ashamed of, because words diminish them -- words shrink things
that seemed limitless when they were in your head to no more than living
size when they're brought out. But it's more than that, isn't it? The
most important things lie too close to wherever your secret heart is
buried, like landmarks to a treasure your enemies would love to steal
away. And you may make revelations that cost you dearly only to have
people look at you in a funny way, not understanding what you've said at
all, or why you thought it was so important that you almost cried while
you were saying it. That's the worst, I think. When the secret stays
locked within not for want of a teller but for want of an understanding
ear.”

Historical romance quote
“Your breasts are alabaster orbs.' "What?" Rufus objected. "That's stupid. I'm not saying that."
"Do you have some better suggestion?"
"Why can't you just say she's got a fair set of titties?”
