Where did she come from, and where can I find one? Picked this one up at a gas station in West Virginia, bargain price. Last one on the shelf, sorry.
Alexandra Bracken

Will bounded up onto one of the ladders and yanked a book off the shelf. I'll find you something else to read. Catch. He had let it fall without looking and Tessa had to dart forward to seize it before it hit the floor. - Clockwork Angel

I do think I'm lucky I met Michael. Not just Michael Douglas the actor and producer with two Oscars on the shelf, but Michael Douglas, the love of my life. I really do think it was meant to happen.
Catherine Zeta-Jones

My words are little jars For you to take and put upon a shelf. Their shapes are quaint and beautiful, And they have many pleasant colours and lustres To recommend them. Also the scent from them fills the room With sweetness of flowers and crushed grasses.
Amy Lowell
Image
No one who can read, ever looks at a book, even unopened on a shelf, like one who cannot.
Charles Dickens
Image
Coincidentally, a good age for a Japanese girl is younger than twenty five, because that's when she turns into a 'Christmas Cake'. Christmas cakes, as everyone knows, are desirable before the twenty fifth but afterward quickly become stale and are put on the shelf.

My books are often shelved around those of Chinua Achebe and Margaret Atwood, or Chimamanda Adichie and Monica Ali. All of this depends, of course, on the bookstore and how conversant the shelf stocker is with the alphabet.

I felt a bottomless sadness. So completely alone. Like one of my stuffed animals at home that I was too old for now, that sat on the shelf in my closet, mashed against the back wall.
Augusten Burroughs
Image
I get a lot of action scripts. I get low-budget vehicles that will end up right on the video shelf. I want to do movies that I want to talk about, that I'm proud of, but I also want to make a living.
Dean Cain
Image
I guess in society there's no place for women in their older thirties. We're supposed to go sit on a shelf at some point... and wait.
Barbara Crampton
Image
I don't mind if my skull ends up on a shelf as long as it's got my name on it.
