Dear god," she prayed, "let me be something every minute of every hour of my life. let me be gay; let me be sad. let me be cold; let me be warm. let me be hungry...have too much to eat. let me be ragged or well dressed. let me be sincere - be deceitful. let me be truthful; let me be a liar. let me be honorable and let me sin. only let me be something every blessed minute. and when i sleep, let me dream all the time so that not one little piece of living is ever lost.
Dream Prayer Liars
Ian didn't come. he just sat here with you--he said he didn't care what you looked like. he wouldn't let anyone else put a finger on your tank at all, not even me or mel. but doc let me watch this time. it was way cool, wanda. i don't know why you wouldn't let me watch before. they wouldn't let me help, though. ian wouldn't let anyone touch you but him.' ian squeezed my hand and leaned in to whisper through all the hair. his voice was so low that i was the only one who could hear. 'i held you in my hand, wanderer. and you were so beautiful.
Beautiful Hair Hands
Please don't take him away from this world. please don't let him die here in my arms, not after everything we've been through together, not after you've taken so many others. please, i beg you, let him live. i am willing to sacrifice anything to make this happen- i'm willing to do anything you ask. maybe you'll laugh at me for such a naive promise, but i mean it in earnest, and i don't care if it makes no sense or seems impossible. let him live. please. i can't bear this a second time. tell me there is still good in this world. tell me there is still hope for all of us.
Taken Mean Sacrifice
Let others lead small lives, but not you. let others argue over small things, let them complain over what might have been, but not you. let others cry over small hurts, let them be discouraged, let them be revengeful and vindictive, but not you. let others leave their future in someone else's hands, let them become materialistic and empty, but not you. let others become ungrateful and stop praying, but not you! let others give up, but not you! for you know in whom you believe and you know that he is always able. now, that's you!
Motivational Hurt Giving Up
I could tell by his expression that once he got over his anger at me for keeping this secret from him, there was nothing left to talk about. he wasn't confused. he didn't need questions answered. he didn't ask why or how or with whom or whether i thought maybe it might just be a phase. he didn't ask who knew and who didn't know or whether i thought it might ruin my career. i was his sister and he didn't care whether i was straight or gay; it simply didn't matter to him.
Confused Gay Expression
The cord-cutting generation hates cable tv 'cause they think they're corporations and they rip people off and they make you buy a bunch of channels you never watch in order to get the channels that you do watch. they've always said, "we want to be a la cart. we want to be able to cord-cut. we want to be able to watch what we want." so it's now evolving where if they only want to watch hbo they can but they have to pay for it. if they only want to watch cinemax, they can, but have to pay for it.

Hate Thinking People
You point out that war is only a symptom of the whole horrid business of human behavior, and cannot be isolated. and that, even if we abolish war, we shall not abolish hate and greed. so might it have been argued about slave emancipation, that slavery was but one aspect of human disgustingness, and that to abolish it would not end the barbarity that causes it. but did the abolitionists therefore waste their breath? and do we waste ours now in protesting against war?
Hate War Greed
A man who lives, not by what he loves but what he hates, is a sick man.
