[quote="In "The First Men," Howard Fast"]This experiment may fail, but if it succeeds it can be the most important event of our time--even more important and consequential than this war we have just fought. (...) I had a wife and three children, and they were put to death because a nation of men ...

[quote="In "The [Widget], the [Wadget], and Boff," Theodore Sturgeon"]“You ever sleep naked?” She gasped, and, round-eyed, shook her head. “Why not?” he demanded. “Why I— I—” She had to answer him; she had to. Fear rose like a thin column of smoke within her, and then a swift glance at his open, frie ...

– Извинете, като че ли говоря малко безредно. То е, защото се вълнувам. Но и вие сте лекар, ще ме разберете и така. И сега има толкова опити, толкова методи за борба с тия зловещи образу­вания. Не само хирургичните. Да речем, хипертермията – лечение­то с висока температура на тялото. При 40° С за де ...

When my oldest daughter, Justine, was little older than four, she became very upset at our destruction of nature. (...) As we made our way up the street, I noticed Justine taking great care to avoid stepping on a swarm of ants. She informed me that we should pay more attention to such things ...

We want so much from those who love us: friendship, understanding, conversation, and kindness—and companionship, and sex, and children, and even money or someone to cook dinner or mow the grass. Sometimes, at the bottom of things, when we are most in love, we want our partners to be for us the same ...

You are not a man as ordinary men are. They think they have a right to all beasts; to hunt them and eat them, or to subjugate them and rule their lives. You know you have no such right to mastery. The horse that carries you will do so because he wishes to, as does the wolf that hunts beside you ...

[quote="In "The Princess in the Basement," Hope Erica Schultz"]“(...) Mom always told me a woman didn’t need a prince to rescue her. She needed a friend, to help her rescue herself.”[/quote]

[quote="In "Mr. Reilly's Tattoo," Hope Erica Schultz"]Mr. Reilly was my first patient. I was the only male CNA, and the nurses warned me that some patients would have a problem with it. Sure enough, when I knocked on his door he met me with a fierce glare. “You’re a man.” I started as though in surpr ...

Susan’s fingers wandered, and her eyes sparkled. “Your mouth says no,” she purred, “but this says yes.” I went up on my toes, and swallowed, trying to keep my balance and get her hand off me at the same time. “That thing is always saying something stupid,” I told her. I've been wondering when someon ...

As I walked toward the front door, a little motion to the left caught my eye. Jenny Sells stood in the hallway, a silent wraith. She regarded me with luminous green eyes, like her mother’s, like the dead aunt whose namesake she was. I stopped and faced her. I’m not sure why. “You’re the wizard,” she ...

“(...) And they danced and then at midnight there was an unmasking—you know how it is with these costume balls, everybody knows who everybody is, but you have to do the unmasking—” “And she’s been slipping out beforehand, apparently, so she never did unmask—” “But this time the Duke’s son was watchi ...

“Hear ye, hear ye!” called a man in the Duke’s livery. “Hear ye! By order of the Duke, all young ladies are ordered to gather at their homes, to await the Duke’s pleasure!” Heads snapped up all over the market. Silas muttered something about droit de seigneur and reached under his bench for a cudgel ...

[quote="In "The Dryad's Shoe," T. Kingfisher"]“Poor thing!” said her stepmother. “Something should be done about the dirt under her nails, I suppose, but I am far too shattered from the move to take it in hand. I suppose she is not educated? No, of course not.” “I help out in the garden,” said Hannah ...

Negotiation exposes something at once simple and intricate about intimacy: that it is far better to actually know your partner’s body by becoming one with their interior selves, and you can only do this by talking to them. Far from being the stereotypical “mood killer,” sexual knowing requires discu ...

This one cleansed my heart: “Oh.” A pause. “I am so cold.” “Me, too. But it’s colder outside.” “That doesn’t make me the least bit warmer. Hold me.” It was not a request. She burrowed into my chest, tucking her head under my chin. She smelled nice. How did women always manage to smell nice? Awkwardl ...

“But why write such rotten scripts? If what you say is so, everybody’s where they want to be, even beggars with sores on their shins and starving children and guys being tortured in jails?” She nodded, watching me. I said, “I can’t accept that.” She waited a bit and then almost smiled. “Unaccepta ...

[quote="In "Seasoning," Theodore Sturgeon"]“You said to imagine a great big sphere, and inside is all of time and space. All of it. And outside are these intelligent entities, and all they are is curious; all they want to do is experience.” “Go on,” Alice said. Her eyes are so bright.… “One might say ...

‘And so you arranged for our escape,’ I said. ‘To help us, as you could not help your sister?’ ‘Yes, it was something like that.’ ‘And when Gabi spoke of your protecting us,’ I said, ‘it touched off the memory of how you could not protect Bibi.’ ‘Yes, it was something like that.’ She lit another cig ...

[ Контекст: разговорът тече непосредствено след първата, ъъъ, брачна нощ на двама герои, които, ъъъ, нямат брак. ] — Последна закуска — усмихна се криво Алтиарин. — Кой знае, приятелю? — попита Римиел. — Кой знае. И Лерта [a.k.a. майката] му се усмихна, разбрала всичко от неговия поглед и този на Ал ...

When every child had the exam paper, a Society official at the front of the hall sounded a glass chime. With a chorus of rustling, they opened their booklets. Morrigan took a deep breath and turned to the first page. It was blank. As was the second page, and the third. She flipped through the rest ...
