Andy Warhol

Erik Pevernagie
“Watching the wonder of a dewdrop clinging on a tree leaf in the early morning sunlight can give us an ethereal thrill and at one time awaken the elapsed compass of our inner child. ("Why step out of nature")
.”
Erik Pevernagie

Harold Phifer
“Desperately, I needed a reversal of fortunes. Then suddenly, I knew what I needed to do. So, I stopped at the Northside cemetery.
Mom was buried there. I gave Deya another pass and left her outside the gates of the cemetery. I
wasn’t certain but I didn’t want to mix my perceived notion of Deya’s Voodoo with Mom’s

Ghosts, Dead Dawg, and Haints. Too many demons in the same location didn’t appear to be a smart thing. Once inside,I said what I needed to say, laid a rose, and headed back to retrieve my sweetheart. But I knew Deya. She had a fear of ghouls and hitchhikers hanging out in the graveyard. So wisely, I scanned her person for a Greek cross, miniature doll, or chicken foot in her possession. Fortunately, she passed my inspections. So, I left the graveyard, took the wheel, and got the hell out of that area in a haze.”
Harold Phifer, My Bully, My Aunt, & Her Final Gift

“Your memory alone, once
filled my heart with delight,
but now, even in the presence of you
my soul would not sense
the thrill of living,
but a deep apathy.”

Joe Abercrombie
“He looked around at that one room, and the few things in it. He'd always thought retiring would be going back to his life after some nightmare pause. Some stretch of exile in the land of the dead. Now it came to him that all his life worth living had happened while he was holding a sword.
Standing alongside his dozen. Laughing with Whirrun, and Brack, and Wonderful. Clasping hands with his crew before the fight, knowing he'd die for them and they for him. The trust, the brotherhood, the love, the knit closer than family. Standing by Threetrees on the walls of Uffrith, roaring their defiance at Bethod's great army. The day he charged at the Cunmur. And at Dunbrec. And in the High Places, even though they lost. The day he earned his name. Even the day he got his brothers killed. Even when he'd stood at the top of the Heroes as the rain came down, watching the Union come, knowing every dragged out moment might be the last.
Like Whirrun said - you can't live more than that. Certainly not by fixing a chair.”
Joe Abercrombie, The Heroes

Avijeet Das
“The thrill of new beginnings is immensely alluring!”
Avijeet Das

Victoria E. Schwab
“Because it wasn't enough to be happy, not for Lila. She wanted more. Wanted an adventure . . . Maybe it wasn't a matter of what she didn't have, of what she wasn't, but what she was.”
V.E. Schwab, A Gathering of Shadows

Parul Wadhwa
“Nostalgia washes over me with tons of memors and lifetime rolled on this land. Every oblivious memory from the childhood wraps open in the fragrance of these busy roads and familiar land, long signals, irritating traffic,honking cars,rushing people,excessive pollution defining Delhi at its best.”
Parul Wadhwa, The Masquerade

Nora Roberts
“Love’s scary.�
Mrs. Grady let out a laugh. “Sure it is. You want safe? Find a nice puppy you can train to come to heel. Love’s supposed to be scary.�
“W?�
“Because if there’s no fear there’s no thrill.”
Nora Roberts, Savor the Moment

“We’re at a stoplight when Peter suddenly sits up straight and says, “Oh, shit! The Epsteins!� I was halfway asleep. My eyes fly open and I yell, “Where? Where?� “Red SUV! Two cars ahead on the right.� I crane my neck to look. They are a gray-haired couple, maybe in their sixties or seventies. It’s hard to tell from this far
away. As soon as the light turns green, Peter guns it and drives up on the shoulder. I scream out, “Go go go!� and then we’re flying past the Epsteins. My heart is racing out of control, I can’t help but lean my head out the
window and scream because it’s such a thrill. My hair whips in the wind and I know it’s going to be a tangled mess, but I couldn’t care less. “Yahhh!� I scream. “You’re crazy,� Peter says, pulling me back in by the hem of my shirt.”
Jenny Han, To All the Boys I've Loved Before

“People who fell in love at first sight, rushed home to their parents to tell them the good news and subsequently married were, [Patricia Highsmith] thought, retarded. Rather, a more honest appraisal of the nature of love positions it nearer to the horrors of mental illness. How else could you explain the fact that so many people were prepared to sacrifice the safety and cosiness of their lives for the thrill of a new romance?”
Andrew Wilson, Patricia Highsmith, ζωή στο σκοτάδι

Deyth Banger
“... If I wanna shit I am going to buy it from the shop... what I need now is a friend on which I can count on... you know the drill.”

Gilly Macmillan
“I had mixed feelings about it: a queasy combination of flattery and discomfort, but sometimes mixed feelings are the hardest to resist indulging in. They can make us feel alive again.”
Gilly Macmillan, To Tell You the Truth

“There had been a slight shower of rain the previous night, so the world looked like it was painted overnight. It was a wonderful sight and a thrilling feeling.”
Tshetrim Tharchen, A Play of the Cosmos: Script of the Stars

Avijeet Das
“She is mad, but she brings out the adrenaline rushing out of your body.”
Avijeet Das

Robin M. King
“The ticket in my hand moved in the slight fall breeze as I staggered back onto my rock. My body shivered. I should have been shocked by the paper in my hand. I should have called Professor Golkov and asked him for answers or more information. I should have just gone back to my dorm and ignored the unfamiliar feeling rising through me. I should have done a lot of things, but I always did what I should. When the foreign feeling spread through me and filled my being, I finally realized what it was. Thrill. I felt like I held the answer to my life’s puzzle in my hands.”
Robin M. King, Remembrandt

Christina Engela
“The TSA liked having fresh agents on the job. Fresh agents with a clear mind and steady hand. Time travel wasn’t for the faint of heart. The pay was good though, but as Scrooby had decided long ago, that even if he didn’t get paid for it, the thrill alone was payment enough. Then again, the TSA realized they couldn’t afford to have disgruntled employees with too much time on their hands and the power of the gods at their fingertips, so the pay was very, very good. Debriefing was routine. And how he hated routine! His supervisor was a senior agent called Guy Krummeck, a rather drab character who liked his shiny silver suits almost as much as he liked to go over every little detail at least three times. Minimum. This time everything went right, so it went quick. Twenty minutes later, tired, he clocked out and went home to his small apartment. Tomorrow, after all, was another day again.”
Christina Engela, The Time Saving Agency

“There is a lot of thrill explored and yet still lot unexplored!!”
Mark Dysan

Aspen Matis, Your Blue Is Not My Blue: A Missing Person Memoir

“The value of a woman comes from her thrill, not her work.”

Ginny Toole

Avijeet Das
“The joy of riding a motorcycle is out of this world. The thrill of riding in the hills and mountains is opiate addiction.”
Avijeet Das

C.S. Lewis
“Only when your whole attention and desire are fixed on something else—whether a distant mountain, or the past, or the gods of Asgard—does the “thrill� arise. It is a by-product. Its very existence presupposes that you desire not it but something other and outer. If by any perverse askesis or the use of any drug it could be produced from within, it would at once be seen to be of no value. For take away the object, and what, after all, would be left?—a whirl of images, a fluttering sensation in the diaphragm, a momentary abstraction. And who could want that? This, I say, is the first and deadly error, which appears on every level of life and is equally deadly on all, turning religion into a self-caressing luxury and love into autoeroticism.”
C.S. Lewis

Alma Derusso
“In the depths of my soul,
lurks a desire for adventure,
thrills call out to me.”
