{"quotes":[{"text":"The Doktor was very vond, I mean fond of Vluffy, so he gave him a flame-proof doggie-jacket. It was dull grey, but it had a tartan pattern on it. Vluffy liked his doggie-jacket and wore it all the time. When things went ‘bang’ he could just roll over, dust himself off and quickly scamper off with the doggie jacket flapping on his back. So in short, Vluffy was a very happy little dog who spent a lot of his time hiding under furniture. But the point is that he’d had a lot of time. Much more than those who went (up in smoke) before him.","author":"Christina Engela","tags":["a","and","back","doggie-jacket","flame-proof","furniture","grey","had","happy","he-d","hiding","him","his","it","little","of","of-time","off","over","roll","scamper","short","smoke","tartan","the","those","time","under","vluffy","vond","when","who"],"id":163,"author_id":"Christina+Engela"},{"text":"It is almost an unbearable pain, to suddenly recognize the value of what you had being ignorant of which had been your possession.","author":"Sunday Adelaja","tags":["almost","been","had","ignorant","it","pain","possession","recognize","suddenly","unbearable","value"],"id":17178,"author_id":"Sunday+Adelaja"},{"text":"I had this child, and it destroyed my family.","author":"Arnold Schwarzenegger","tags":["child","destroyed","had "],"id":29357,"author_id":"Arnold+Schwarzenegger"},{"text":"Soon it would be his turn. Kaine wondered how he would meet Death. His ship was a mess, in every sense of the word. Systems were in disarray, damaged equipment malfunctioning, and control panels shattered by blaster-fire littered the decks. In the fighting, severe hull damage had caused parts of the ship to be sealed off. Dead bodies – or raw red chunks of them – lay everywhere. The corridors were dark where the lights had failed. His footsteps echoed eerily as he ran down them. He’d been on the run for what felt like days. He felt naked, his tattered, sweat-drenched tunic clinging to his body, especially under his breastplate. Fatigue had caused him to discard his body amour. It was of no realistic use anyway, and just made him hotter and sweatier, made stealthy movement more difficult – and weighed him down.","author":"Christina Engela","tags":["a","and","anyway","armour","be","bodies","body","breastplate","chunks","control","corridors","damage","damaged","days","death","difficult","disarray","down","equipment","everywhere","failed","fatigue","fighting","for","had","he","his","his-body","how","hull","littered","made","malfunctioning","mess","naked","panels","ran","red","sealed-off","soon","sweatier","systems","tattered","the","the-decks","them","to","turn","what","wondered","word"],"id":48249,"author_id":"Christina+Engela"},{"text":"I had a pretty sexual imagination for a kid.","author":"Janet Jackson","tags":["kid","pretty","had "],"id":56256,"author_id":"Janet+Jackson"},{"text":"I've never had the patience of a teacher.","author":"Josh Turner","tags":["patience","never","had "],"id":79823,"author_id":"Josh+Turner"},{"text":"As a panting Tracy Ferris scrambled into the life-pod, this thought was precisely what was running through her already agitated mind. From the very beginning of their association, she’d had a bad feeling about Brandon Carver. Something about that guy just never seemed to fit.

Insurance was a good thing – a very good thing - but it wasn’t going to help him much out here. The highlight of his afternoon was going to be staring at the blinking bridge instrumentation – which just happened to be running on the emergency batteries and actually blinking, like for real.

Turtle Island! It was a little corner of chaos!This was the scene the speeding black ship had left behind three days ago, fleeing in humiliating shame, those three days a constant running battle. For three days the accursed Imperial ship Indomitable had followed, firing on them at every opportunity. Death or imprisonment now awaited those who called themselves Corsairs – and though this death was now more certain rather than just a possibility, Sona Kilroy, or “The Hammer” as he was called by his men, was not prepared to give up his freedom so easily. Piracy was his life and he’d known no other. He was tough and cruel, a despicable man, a case in point when academics quoted the barbarism by which the Corsairs had made themselves known and feared across the star systems of the peaceful Terran Empire.","author":"Christina Engela","tags":["a","accursed","ago","awaited","barbarism","battle","black","called","case","chaos","constant","corsairs","cruel","easily","empire","every","fleeing","followed","give","had","he-was","his","in","island","little","made","man","men","meradinis","more","now","opportunity","other","possibility","shame","ship","sona","star","terran","the","themselves","this","to","tough","was"],"id":123804,"author_id":"Christina+Engela"},{"text":"Captain Harald Biscay rubbed his graying temples, staring deep in thought at the vast star field showing on the large navigation display on the bridge.
