{"quotes":[{"text":"I sometimes heard the parents of Michel's playmates sigh about how, after a busy day, they really needed 'a moment to themselves.' The children were in bed at last, and then came the magic moment, and not a minute earlier. I've always thought that was strange, because for me that moment began much earlier. When Michel came home from school, for example, and everything was as it should be.","author":"Herman Koch","tags":["children","domestic","family","parenting","parents"],"id":43922,"author_id":"Herman+Koch"},{"text":"We women are weak,' replied Bimala. 'So I suppose we must join in the conspiracy of the weak.'Women weak!' I exclaimed with a laugh. 'Men belaud you as delicate and fragile, so as to delude you into thinking yourselves weak. But it is you women who are strong. Men make a great outward show of their so-called freedom, but those who know their inner minds are aware of their bondage. They havemanufactured scriptures with their own hands to bind themselves; with their very idealism they have made golden fetters of women to wind round their body and mind. If men had not that extraordinary faculty of entangling themselves in meshes of their own contriving, nothing could have kept them bound. But as foryou women, you have desired to conceive reality with body and soul. You have given birth to reality. You have suckled reality at your breasts.","author":"Rabindranath Tagore","tags":["domestic","empowerment","inferior-superior","men","submersive","women"],"id":76650,"author_id":"Rabindranath+Tagore"},{"text":"The organized domestic terrorism of the general public is why many people regard the police as corrupt.","author":"Steven Magee","tags":["corrupt","corruption","domestic","enforcement","general","law","many","organized","people","police","public","regard","sheriff","terrorism","why"],"id":96638,"author_id":"Steven+Magee"},{"text":"Polly was all too aware that much of her time on holiday would be spent doing the laundry and the cooking and the child-care and all the other chores that back in London would be shared with her cleaning lady.

He’s wrong. He’s wrong!’ Vanian pleaded, I could feel the quiver of his magic, the wisps that were fighting against the iron burning into his wrists, I could feel the crackle as it fought in the air, against his emotions, against his pain. I shook my head, was about to speak but Adam grabbed him by the front of his shirt; as if a few more tears and shreds couldn’t go amiss. The tightness of his grip paled the Faerie’s cheeks, caused the blood to trickle down faster, dropping to the floor.‘My wife.’ He yelled, ‘She’s my wife, silverblood.’ With each growl of a syllable he accented it with a punch to Vanian’s face.I couldn’t take much more. I jumped over and pulled at Adam’s shoulders, fingertips driving into the nook of his collarbone, pressing down with as much as I had in me, anything to break his hold. He recoiled and rose his hand to me, at first I flinched but I stopped. He wouldn’t hurt me. He wouldn’t.","author":"Charlotte Munro","tags":["affair","controversial","dark","dark-fantasy","dark-urban","detective","detective-fiction","domestic","fae","faerie","fantasy","gritty","horror","husband","killer","killers","love-triangle","lover","magic","serial-killer","urban","urban-fantasy","wife"],"id":400830,"author_id":"Charlotte+Munro"},{"text":"Milk is the only juice in a world of cows.","author":"Munia Khan","tags":["animal","animals","cow","cows","domestic","drink","juice","liquid","milk","only","philosophical","wisdom","world"],"id":447210,"author_id":"Munia+Khan"},{"text":"Very few USA citizens realize that the USA corporate military is regarded by many to be both a domestic and international terrorist organization.","author":"Steven Magee","tags":["both","citizens","corporate","domestic","international","many","military","organization","regarded","terrorist","usa"],"id":467469,"author_id":"Steven+Magee"}],"pagination":{"page":1,"page_size":10,"total":10,"pages":1}}
