| A Phoenix Rising |
Author has written 5 stories for Song of the Lioness, Spider-Man, and Smallville. a little bit about myself: I turned 16 years old this last september, and I have been in college three terms already. I know you don't believe me. that's fine with me. doesn't change the facts. anyway, I love: anything regarding magic I hate: Literary Characters I Am In Love With: Sydney Carton I think the lyrics American Pie and Big Rock Candy Mountain are awesome and the lyrics to Vincent are beautiful. and I promise to spell-check everything before uploading it... reviews are always welcome, including flames, (I figure if it sucks, I ought to know) thats about it... eventually in my not so copius spare time I will upload a long list of quotes I find entertaining or true, but not right now. Quotes I like: From the TV spot where they were doing the Pope's funeral service: "Simon, son of John, do you love me? Feed my sheep." "When you are older, you will stretch out your hands, and someone will fasten a belt around you, and take you where you do not want to go." From "The Mummy": From "The Matrix" movies: From "The Matrix": From "The Matrix Reloaded": From "The Matrix Revolutions": From "Good Will Hunting": From various movies: "Youscrew this up, I'll kill you!" "There is such a thing as manners. A way of treating people. These fish have manners. These fish have manners. In fact, they are coming with me. I'm starting a new company, and these fish, they are coming with me." “So, are we to be two immortals locked in an epic battle for eternity until Judgment Day and trumpets sound?” “Ray, when somebody asks you if you are a god, you say YES!” “Let’s not forget our customer, the nice lady who paid us in advance before she became a dog.” “The Lord says He thinks he can get me outta this, but he’s pretty sure you’re ed.” “The king will be dead within a month, and his son is a weakling. Who do you think is going to run this kingdom? Now open this door!” “…but the one thing they love, more than a hero, is to see a hero fail, fall, die trying. In spite of everything you’ve done for them, eventually, they will hate you.” S: “I’m not like you. You’re a murderer.” “I was in the neighborhood… had to take two buses and a cab to get into the neighborhood, but, hey….” “It’s a jungle out there. Had to beat an old lady with a stick to get these cranberries.” "Where were you? Photographing squirrels?" "He knows a hero when he sees one. Too few characters out there, flying around like that, saving old girls like me. And Lord knows, kids like Henry need a hero. Courageous, self-sacrificing people. Setting examples for all of us. Everybody loves a hero. People line up for them, cheer them, scream their names. And years later, they'll tell how they stood in the rain for hours just to get a glimpse of the one who taught them how to hold on a second longer. I believe there's a hero in all of us, that keeps us honest, gives us strength, makes us noble, and finally allows us to die with pride, even though sometimes we have to be steady, and give up the thing we want the most. Even our dreams." "There he goes. One of god's own prototypes. Some sort of high-powered mutant never even considered for mass production. Too weird to live, too rare to die." "Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.' "Consider the lilies of the goddamn field." "The reason he's pullin' our pants down." From The Fountainhead, by Ayn Rand: "It's the Parthenon!" said the Dean. "You'll see, for a change, what a real office looks like. After Cameron's dump..." He explained what he wanted, spreading upon the still air of the room one short, concise, complete paragraph of thought, perfect as a gem with clean edges. "Here. With me. I'll fix breakfast for you in the morning. Did you know that I fix my own breakfast? You'll like seeing that. Like the work in the quarry. Then you'll go home and think about destroying me. Good night, Dominique." "Every loneliness is a pinnacle." "Three quarters of them don't know what it's all about, but they've head the other one quarter fighting over your name and so now they feel they must pronounce it with respect. Of the fighting quarter, four-tenths are those who hate you, three-tenths are those who feel they must express an opinion in any controversy, two-tenths are those who play it safe and herald any 'discovery,' and one-tenth are those who understand..." "Howard, I had a kitten once. The damn thing attached itself to me, a flea-bitten little beast from the gutter, just fur, mud, and bones, followed me home, I fed it and kicked it out, but the next day it was there again, and finally I kept it. I was seventeen then, working for the Gazette, just learning to work in that special way I had to learn for life. I could take it all right, but not all of it. There were times I wanted to kill myself. Not anger, anger made me work harder. Not fear. But disgust, Howard. The kind of disgust that made it seem as if the world were under water and the water stood still,water that had backed up out ofthe sewers and ate into everything, even the sky, even my brain. And then I looked at that kitten. And I thought that it didn't know the things I loathed, it could never know. It was clean in the absolute sense, because it had no capacity to conceive of the world's ugliness. I can't tell you what relief there wasin trying to imagine the state of consciousness inside that little brain, trying to share it, a living consciousness, but clean and free. I would lie down on the floor and put my face on that cat's belly, and hear the beast purring. Then I would feel better..." "Michael Layton had inherited a quarter of a billion dollars and had spent the thirty-three years of his life trying to make amends for it." "She was Venus rising out of a submarine hatch." "...If one doesn't respect oneself one can have neither love nor respect for others." "Kill reverence and you've killed the hero in man." "But who will let you?" From Ender's Game By me and people I know: "You are all working like frantic monkeys." "Shup, you!" About the voice on the emergency intercom in my math class: on bugs: "Yay for crispy bugs." Bumper sticker sayings: ~HEY, YOU! OFF MY PLANET!~ ~Consciousness: that annoying time between naps.~ ~The gene pool could use a little chlorine.~ by the way, I like bob dylan's music and am in the process of writing a song to rival the randomness of his own. the title will be "no matter how hard I try, I can never outrun your love" it will contain the line "like a spoon in a microwave". I will put it here when I finish it. That's all for now! wait, one last thing- if you don't review, then I will sic my annoying younger sister on you! >:( if you review, i will love you forever... and a day! ;D | |||||||
