"This is the last of it."

Uttered by a dude in one of the stories from Black Wings of Cthulhu. Not the most appropriate of choices when it comes to describing love, but considering some of the other stories I got out pretty damn good

Also drawing, wooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

That beautiful rush you get when a piece assembles itself before your eyes <3

I don't have a book around. Can somebody give me first line of, say, page 46 for me?

Or she would probably get death for killing the president.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.

'the streets warned girls to be sure their tourists arrived with condoms.'

I was still looking at them, and also at intervals examining the teachers- none of whom precisely pleased me; for the stout one was a little groutesque, and Miss Miller, poor thing, looked purple, weather-beaten, and overworked- when, as my eye wandered from face to face, the whole school rose simultaneously, as if moved by a common spring.

Apparently meta-MSH is extremely judgmental. Let's try this again...

You might have sensed something, just as in your everyday life you might sit in a dark house and feel like you're not alone, or have a nagging suspicion that something slipped around a corner just a moment before you looked.

That is either tragic or horrifying. Re-rolling...

This was his only secret exception, when he said to his sister, in answer to her suppositions, "Yes, here I am, Sophia, quite ready to make a foolish match."

Like everything else in this book, I don't understand.

Now lately Heaven and Earth, another world
Hung o'er my realm, linked in a golden chain
To that side Heaven from whence your legions fell!

God damn you, Milton.

That persuasion one is hilarious.

[IronTomato]

In the nearest book, page 45's first sentence is my love life, eh?

"After the war he'd been given a kind of freedom for his services, the right to perform backbreaking work under perpetual suspicion." -Hunt for Red October

"SNAKE" -MGS3 Snake Eater manual

An Individual buyer's demand for corn.

Wut. Er... let's try #2

There are numerous variations for mouths and lips.

Uh... #3!

It seems your pal Naverre got caught in the Domain along with another Samurai, and now you must save them both.

Okay one more and then I give up

I was outside, sitting on the steps

Well, the closest in sight was The Order of the Stick: Start of Darkness. Closest, in a bag, was Knots and Surfaces: A Guide to Discovering Mathematics. Closer than that was a Kindle, and first in line was Isaac Asimov's Foundation and Empire, and, while it doesn't have pages proper, I moved to the 45th "page".

Ah! So by warping the Gate, you can take control of the Snarl.

Remove a disk from each surface.

Garrisons were left; garrisons of men in Imperial uniform with the Spaceship-and-Sun insignia upon their shoulders.

This large, otherworldly entity appears to be an attractive female human with six arms--at least from her head to her waist.

So D20 manuals are acceptable too?

Well then, TO THE PATHFINDER BOOKS!

The eidolon of a wild caller tends to take more
natural and more savage forms than other summoners’
eidolons.

The facets of this crystalline formation shift and vibrate, as
though in anticipation.

You are a scholar and a sage of legends.

Bruthazmus reacts to intrusions on his personal time
with roars and curses.

These zombies fight simply, shambling forward to
attack the closest target each round.

When attacking with a whip, Delvahine ignores
the restriction on being able to only damage creatures with a +1
natural armor bonus or +3 armor bonus or less—she can damage
foes of any armor level with her whip.

When she does, her judgment ends, but the creature subject
to that judgment is dazed for 1 round

"Can you really see?" she asked.

When one of her boyfriends got in a duel she took his place... and won.

My girlfriends will be more competent then me? This is a good development.

Zombie pride is an important issue, and activists who stress that you should embrace your condition are absolutely right.

We... probably want a Forum Games thread at this point. That said, the next closest book to me that isn't an instruction manual:

She regains her abilities and advancement potential if she atones for her violations (see the atonement spell description, page 201), as appropriate.

Wait, that is an instruction manual. Dammit!

I have a collection of 3 classics in one book. I'll find page 45 for each...

He began his lecture by a recapitulation of the history of chemistry and the various improvements made by different men of learning pronouncing with fervour [sic] the names of the most distinguished discoverers.

I drew a great couch out of its place near the corner, so that as I lay, I could look at the lovely view to east and south, and unthinking an uncaring for the dust, composed myself for sleep.

You see, it was much the of the same bigness; and it had the same quick, light way with it; and then who else could have got in by the laboratory door?

Sadly, the second is more applicable to my situation than the third. I have no idea what's going on in the first. A Nerdic mating ritual?

Finally bet properly in an upset and AM SO FAR OUT OF THE MINES NOW.
