40. "He'd never encountered beauty of such magnitude and intensity. It was not allure, but grace, like the sight of land to a shipwrecked man. And he, who hadn't been on a capsized vessel since he was six—and that had only been an overturned canoe—suddenly felt as if he'd been adrift in the open ocean his entire life.Someone spoke to him. He couldn't make out a single word.There was something elemental to her beauty, like a mile-high thunderhead, a gathering avalanche, or a Bengal tiger prowling the darkness of the jungle. A phenomenon of inherent danger and overwhelming perfection.He felt a sharp, sweet ache in his chest: His life would never again be complete without her. But he felt no fear, only excitement, wonder, and desire.Christian's thoughts upon seeing Venetia for the first time (Beguiling the Beauty, Fitzhugh Trilogy 1, by Sherry Thomas)" ~ Sherry Thomas

41. "She fluttered her fan. "And do you know what they say of women of a certain age, what they want above all?"Desire simmered in him at her not quite smile. "Do tell.""To be rid of you, Hastings. So that they don't have to waste what remains of their precious few years suffering your lecherous looks.""If I stopped looking at you lecherously, you'd miss it.""Why don't we test that hypothesis? You stop and I'll tell you after ten years or so whether I miss it." ....He rose and bowed slightly. "You wouldn't last two weeks, Miss Fitzhugh." ~ Sherry Thomas

42. "Her hand reached up and took a strand of his hair between her fingers. "Simple as that."She gently pulled on that curl and let it go. "It's so springy."They'd barely grazed at the truth, but I she was satisfied—and distracted. By his hair, of all things."I feel like a sheep that has been overlooked during spring shearing," he murmured."Yes, adorably fluffy."Another time he might have protested the use of that adjective. But now he was all too relieved. "Would you like me to pull my chair closer, so you may fondle my hair with greater ease?" he asked.She beamed at him. "Why, yes, I'd like exactly that." ~ Sherry Thomas

43. "Hastings sat down and braced his arm along the back of the chaise, quite effectively letting it be known he did not want anyone else to join them. "You look frustrated, Miss Fitzhugh." He lowered his voice. "Has your bed been empty of late?" He knew very well she'd been watched more closely than prices on the stock exchange. She couldn't smuggle a hamster into her bed, let alone a man. "You look anemic, Hastings," she said. "Have you been leaving the belles of England breathlessly unsatisfied again?" He grinned. "Ah, so you know what it is like to be breathlessly unsatisfied. I expected as little from Andrew Martin." Her tone was pointed. "As little as you expect from yourself, no doubt." He sighed exaggeratedly. "Miss Fitzhugh, you disparage me so, when I've only ever sung your praises." "Well, we all do what we must," she said with sweet venom. He didn't reply—not in words, at least." ~ Sherry Thomas

44. "Despite all her strengths, there was a certain brittleness to her. Sometimes she retreated intoher keep. Sometimes she ran away. But she did not forgive and she did not forget." ~ Sherry Thomas

45. "How do you find the grace to facethe shadows?" ~ Sherry Thomas

46. "Her Leo, so bright, so beautiful.And in the end, so catastrophically flawed." ~ Sherry Thomas

47. "...So far I have restrained myself. For how much longer, I do not know.I have never known such happiness, shot through with such misery. Only four days have passed, they tell me. But that is not true. It has been decades since I sawyou last.You will find me a stooped old man when we meet again. Perhaps I might even need a pair of spectacles to recognize your veil.But I remain always,Your servant,C.One of Christian's onesided letters to the Baroness" ~ Sherry Thomas

48. "The next minute he realized what had happened to him, but not before she'd caught him staring.For a decade, I was fixated by her beauty. I wrote an entire article on the evolutionary significance of beauty as a rebuke to myself, that I, who understood the concepts so well, nevertheless could not escape the magnetic pull of one particular woman's beauty.She knew. With surgical precision, she had peeled back his layers of defenses, until his heart lay bare before her, all its shame and yearning exposed.He could have lived with this if only he'd kept his secret whole and buried. But she knew. She knew." ~ Sherry Thomas

49. "The explanation for her absence had been staring him in the face all the while, but he hadn't wanted to acknowledge it: The affair meant nothing to her. He'd been the only one bewitched body and soul. For her, he'd been but a temporary source of entertainment, a way to pass the otherwise tedious hours in the middle of an ocean.He'd been the one to press for a continuation of their affair beyond the voyage. He'd been the one to offer his heart, his hand, his every last secret. She never even gave her real name.And, of course, never showed her face." ~ Sherry Thomas

50. "We will never accomplish anything worthwhile in life if we require the guarantee of success at the onset." ~ Sherry Thomas

Today's Quote

Me preguntó entonces si no me interesaba un cambio de vida. Contesté que no se cambia nunca de vida, que en cualquier caso todas valían lo mismo y que la mía aquí estaba lejos de disgustarme. Pareció descontento, me dijo que nunca respondía directamente, que no tenía ambición y que eso era desastroso en los negocios. Hubiera preferido no decepcionarlo, pero no veía razón alguna para cambiar de vida. Pensándolo bien, no me sentía desgraciado. Cuando era estudiante, tenía yo muchas ambiciones de ese tipo. Luego, cuando tuve que abandonar mis estudios, comprendí muy pronto que todo eso carecía de importancia."
