“Clearly defined job roles will eliminate any kind of dilemma. It will help an employee better understand what they are supposed to achieve as a part of their job description.”

“I wasn’t in love with him.
But, I couldn’t unlove him.”
― Pratibha Malav, If Tomorrow Comes

“But there was something else going on here. He had to admit even to himself that the woman challenged his intellect and his beliefs with her own, and she wasn’t afraid to disagree with him or to disapprove of his views. Nor did she make any attempt to school her sentiments behind the polite, prim, and proper demeanor of the typical English noblewoman. She was fierce. She was passionate. She was fiery and intense. She was like no other woman he had ever met.
And suddenly, just like that, he was under her spell once again.”
― Anna Durbin, King of Wands

“He had never been so infuriated by a woman in his life. Or more flummoxed. And never more aroused. He didn’t know whether to rant at her or kiss her.”
― Anna Durbin, King of Wands

“I must stop feeling so deeply but I must not be numb; I must move on but I must not forget; I must be happy but not reject sadness; I must embrace but not cling; I must deal with but not dwell on; I must confront but not attack; I must eliminate but not annihilate; I must be gentle with myself but I must be strong.”
― Cecelia Ahern, Postscript

“We are tamed animals (some with kind, some with cruel, masters) and should probably starve if we got out of our cage. That is one horn of the dilemma. But in an increasingly planned society, how much of what I value can survive? That is the other horn.”
― C.S. Lewis, Some Everyday Thoughts

“She dared not glance at him again. She might very well expire if she did.”
― Anna Durbin, King of Wands

“Now he was kissing the shell of her ear, nipping at it gently and then soothing the nips with soft kisses.
“You have no idea what you’re about to unleash if you continue.�
He chuckled low once again, but said nothing as he bit the nape of her neck and gently licked it with his tongue.
“You play with fire, sir.�
“Let it burn, Julia. Let me be your King of Wands.”
― Anna Durbin, King of Wands

“If two types of attachments are pulling you in two opposite direction and you're not able to decide which way to go, take a break from both attachments. Conflict will automatically resolve. A few months of solitude can save you from lifetime of complications.”
― Shunya

“He kept his gaze locked on her. Though she couldn’t see it, she could sense it, and it unnerved her. “I’m probably just a little overheated myself.â€� His voice rumbled low around her, as though the words were meant only for her. They caressed her skin almost sensually.”
― Anna Durbin, King of Wands

“Thank you, Mr. Rodman.â€�
When he heard her whispered response, his gaze fell to her lips, and desire coiled through his body as he imagined how they would feel beneath his. Warm and pliant, no doubt. Eager and willing, maybe. Greedy with insatiable need? He hoped. “You’re most welcome.�
She didn’t move, and he? He couldn’t move. He remained rooted to the stone floor as her lovely face entranced him. He was too aware of how close they stood to one another for rational thought. It would take no effort whatsoever for him to lean down and kiss her luscious lips. Something flickered in her eyes as they stared at each other, and he could sense the moment she felt the same pull as he did. Something primal, something hot flashed between them, and as he reached up to stroke her cheek with the backs of his fingers, he determined right then he would do it. He parted his lips slightly and bent down subtly. He was inches away from contact, but he wavered just one second too long as he debated with himself whether to touch her lips lightly with his own or give in to the powerful urge to crush his mouth and body against hers.”
― Anna Durbin, King of Wands

“Did I misread the heat in your eyes? Was I wrong about what you wanted?â€�
Still unable to form words, she said nothing.
“Because I know without question what I wanted in that moment.� He paused as though he were waiting for her to respond, but still, she remained silent. He chuckled, his voice low and seductive. “Wouldn’t you like to know what that was?�
She shook her head no.
He shrugged. “I’ll tell you anyway. I wanted more than anything in the world to take you in my arms, Julia, and kiss you senseless. And much more. So. Much. More.”
― Anna Durbin, King of Wands

“I’m a little alarmed, Mr. Rodman. You said no one will ever know anything improper happened between us. You did not say there will be nothing improper between us.â€�
“And I meant what I didn’t say.”
― Anna Durbin, King of Wands

“His touch had scorched her skin and lit a fire within her so intense she thought her hair would ignite. Worse, when she turned around to thank him, she froze, spellbound by his gaze, realizing that if she didn’t do something to tamp down the desire that his aquamarine eyes, his bergamot scent, and his very presence had enflamed within her, she would do something entirely inappropriate, like reach out and launch herself into his arms.
He is not the King of Wands. He is not the King of Wands. He is not the King of Wands.”
― Anna Durbin, King of Wands

“They kissed for years, it seemed, and yet when he broke contact, it felt like he had kissed her for mere seconds. She wanted more from him, but he let go of her and backed away.
Irritated with him for taking advantage of her sensibilities and with herself for succumbing to her baser urges as she always did with him, she crossed her arms over her chest again. “Is that all then? Have you nothing more to say?�
“I think I’ve said everything, except . . . I’m an arse, Julia.�
Her eyes narrowed of their own accord. “Go on.”
― Anna Durbin, King of Wands

“Don't run away from a dilemma. Be with it; Inner clarity shall arise.”
― Shunya

“And both are gone. And ironically, I'm drawn to repeat my well known apothegm of futility: that, just as the person who wants praise will never be satisfied with praise, the person who wants love cannot be satisfied with love. No want is ever fulfilled. And I therefore still don't know whether it is better to fear God and keep His commandments or to curse God and die. Fortunately, I've been able to get by very neatly without doing either.”
― Joseph Heller, God Knows

“And when he took her hand to help her down, her heart did a funnyâ€� and frightening —little flip. And not just from the physical desire that his gaze had ignited, but from some new and unfamiliar sentiment that his wordsâ€� and his touch —kindled in her.
Bad, Julia. Bad. Bad. Bad.”
― Anna Durbin, King of Wands

“If anyone looked at me with the raw desire that shows in his eyes when he looks at you, I’d be petrified they’d have me for dinner â€� and that I would be their willing victim. I might even throw myself on a plate, salt myself, and offer them a lick â€� you know, just so they could taste me.”
― Anna Durbin, King of Wands

“He gazed at her for what seemed like an eternity before reaching out to stroke her cheek. “I’d just like to forget. Forget every last thing.â€�
Her heart beat erratically from the emotions flickering through his eyes. Need and want. Fear and hope. She couldn’t tell where one emotion ended and the next began. The only thing she could tell for certain was that, in the subtle flicker of candlelight, something had changed between them. Profoundly changed. Desire coiled in and around them like a vine and settled low in her belly. Heat blossomed over her, quashing her ability to think straight as he bent his head and touched his lips to hers. She closed her eyes to everything but the feel of his mouth on hers, in a kiss so different from their first that it astonished in comparison. This was not the wild and savage connection they had shared behind the assembly rooms. Yet, there was passion in its tenderness, and hunger in the languorous fusion of their tongues.”
― Anna Durbin, King of Wands

“We are faced, ultimately, with two irreconcilable hypotheses: that of the extermination of all the world's illusion by technology and the virtual, or that of an ironic destiny of all science and all knowledge in which the world -- and the illusion of the world -- would survive. The hypothesis of a `transcendental' irony of technology being by definition unverifiable, we have to hold to these two irreconcilable and simultaneously `true' perspectives. There is nothing which allows us to decide between them. As Wittgenstein says: `The world is everything which is the case'.”
― Jean Baudrillard, The Perfect Crime

“Conviction and clarity are opposite. When your soul is fully asleep, you've full conviction of mind. When your soul is fully awakened, you've full clarity of mind. In-between you've dilemma.”
― Shunya

“If you are unable to take a decision based on the data available to you, add faith into the equation. Have faith in the higher power that has guided your life till now. And then try to take the decision.”

“I grow irritated at the way I feel in his presence. Graham doesn't even touch me and I feel it everywhere. Jason touches me everywhere and I feel it nowhere.”
― Colleen Hoover, All Your Perfects

“Glancing around for his friends eenie, meenie, miney, and mo, they were nowhere to be found and he was left stranded with this lane picking dilemma, so he grimaced and picked the first lane offered.”

“Chin-notch and dimple dilemma;

I have a weird relationship with smiles. They both enhance and distort my appearance at the same time. It is because when I'm Moody, the notch on my chin becomes prominent and I like that. But when I smile hard enough little dimples slightly slash both the cheeks and I like that too. Unfortunately, the smile fades the notch on my chin. And I want to have both the dimbles and the chin notch at the same time, I Cant have that- that complicates my relationship with smiles.
Life is kinda like that. Some things require you to sacrifice others to have them.”
― Geoffrey Ocaya

“Adella froze. She didn’t recognize this voice, he had a strange accent. He was clearly not a captive from Elldon. Should I free him? He could be dangerous, or she could get caught trying. Or, if she tried to ignore him, he could shout and raise the alarm. Mostly, though, she remembered how she felt hours before when the stranger left her alone in her dining room. Was it out of compassion?”
― A. M. Portman

“Everything looks impossible initially, and then everything eases out gradually. Beginning is the key.”
