Blithesome Synonym Quotes & Sayings

And the notion of sin had vanished

In universal peace
To consume and rejoice

Of prophets and theologians,
Of philosophers, poets,

Dimitri always did the right thing.
And it was that attitude that had made me love him so much. I had a similar nature. I too rushed in when others needed me, sometimes when I shouldn't have. Others called me crazy for it, but Dimitri had understood. He'd always understood me, and part of what we'd worked on was how to temper that impulsive need to run into danger with reason and calculation. I had a feeling no one else in this world would ever understand me like he did. — Richelle Mead
