An argument between mother and daughter: "I'm trying to be civil here!" "How are you being civil? You're letting your fear stop me! I don't fear horses! I want to get back on! I conked my head, I lived, now let me ride again!" "They're not safe!" "So? School isn't safe either!" "Lois!"

She tried to be civil. She was raised in such a way that manners were almost more important than survival. But she was hungry. Not just hungry - she was ravenous. There was a packet of tasty little cracers in front of her. She knew she should ask first, but she just couldn't restrain herself.

Civil war is going to erupt soon if America continues its current course. I will be happy to join in a violent revolution if the seemingly inexorable march towards fascism continues. It disgusts me to see my fellow citizens act so ignorantly. Like Sheep.

Alice had always been known as the most civil member of the family. She was courteous, kind, and never involved herself in what was many squabbles. I had often tried to be as civil as her, but it was hard...Everyone in the family made me so damn mad....

civil is what we should dream about. the rights slip away in our pillows are taken away through our bellies. civil-don't even speak directly to me. civil-look down at my feet trying to compose a phrase, quick enough for you to understand my point of view. my shoes, my streets

like war last year like war in iraq like the way I want to rip these people out of their skulls, like when their celphones are on, derelict childreen of wicked nasty people, spawn of long island, the worst thihng there is. "I don't mind any race, black people white whatever, but long island people all suck." so true. Lets have a war with them. Let us annihilate them. I'll

Civil Liberty is important. For instance: i have the civil liberty to fuck whomever I want, whenever I want, regardless of the consequences or his or her current significant others. For instance: I have the civil liberty to slowly kill myself through inhalation of nicotine and rat poison, should I so choose. See how important civil liberty is?

civil is the one thing that some people forget to be. forgetting that they too were in those same shoes at one time or another let us at least be civil to one another it cost nothing.

I am a civil servant. I'm not sure if that's accurate, but if feels like I'm an uncivil slave. Of course, all slavery is uncivilized even if you're paid for the work. It seems that people are defined by their job and I don't think that's right. We should be defined by what we create

A twisted smile hasn't been the same since the plane went down. Now any light blinds her eyes, you tell her to be civil and she growls deep from her heart. She never was a fighter.

civil is not political, itīs not impolite, itīs people doing to other people what they would like other people to do to them. itīs nice to know that we can live in a civil soc

"let's be civil," she said as she wiped the tears from her cheeks. He scowled at her. "How?" he asked. She grabbed his face in her hands and kissed him passionately on the lips. She smiled. "We can start there."

Civil...I can be civil. I'm never outwardly hostile to anyone. Even if I hate your guts, I'll still be civil towards you (if you're at my house or something). I just don't see the point of sneering at people and acting stupid. You just end up looking stupid.

Civil. The monsters are civil. You'd laugh at that, wouldn't you? The people are civil. You'd be just fine with that, I bet. But what if I said that the people are monsters? The buildings are monsters, and the streets swallow people into the sewers. The city is a monster.

There are many layers that I refuse to permeate, between your lips & mine. There are miles, & they leave every word obtuse & difficult to swallow. So I dull down the sharp pangs of longing that escape my lips, I pretend that I'm not dying to know what you said to her, things that I imagine you'd never say to me.

to be courteous..this word reminds me of the scene from a movie i cant remember the name of...danget one minute..to much pressure...there was a guy and a table and his name was richard....ohhh danget!!!

"Er, look, I'm really sorry about this, " I began, holding my bowl in front of me like some kind of goddamn bowl-carrier. "but could you tell me where my umbrella went to? It's of great sentimental value." He looked at me with some kind of ackfndkgnbel of my existence, and said, gruffly, "he's with us now." My greatest fears were confirmed.

The headrest of the seat ahead plopped into her lap as soon as they were off the ground. She gritted her teeth and held back a number of rude comments. She would, she maintained, remain civil. As tempting as it was to wait for the guy in front of her to fall asleep, then draw something in permanent marker on his bald spot.

A Civil War is something very brutal. It happened in various countries allover the world. Civil Courage is something that got quite lost allover the time. A Civilian is a person who is just an ordinary person and not judge for example.

i should stop looking at these words while i'm at my desk, as it always catches me when i am at my least form of human or civil mood. i can rant and rave in reaction to the conditions that i am exposed to in a "corporate" world - so less than perfect

civil war. war that kills people for no reason other than human-made ideas, ideas that will fade eventually. if you have nothing to live for, there's always something to die for. civil lawsuits, civil behavior...how there's so little civil behavior today!

I'm a civilian. Not an officer or anything like that. Civilians are people who aren't... Hm, what IS a civilian? Someone non-governmental? Or what? Big questions, boring question. I like squirrels.

there are times in ones life where a stand needs to be taken. We are not sheep and we dont need to be led. Think for yourself and be civil to others.

It would be a real change if people in general would start be more respectful and more civil. Who do they think they are? King of the world? No. What a shame.

Civil Wars, that's all I can think about. Or tyhe wseries of Cybill, but that's a whole other thing... ahahaha I'm an idiot. Civil wars... Theya re when there's a war within a country for change.

civil rights. civic duty. civilian. do any of these words have a meaning in our world? or are they just another phrase that lost the test of time?

she's in a civil war with herself. Her eyes begin to water with the mention of his name. Her hands begin to shake with the mention of the other person's name. She's stuck at the fork in the road. Not knowing where to go. Her head spins. Her heart aches. She feels its impossible to love. And that her heart will be washed away.

it wasn't an easy task to accomplish..."BE CIVIL!" he was told, but damn, now that he was actually IN the room with all the fucking animals spouting off their drivel...it was so rancid it seemed to stick to the walls and seep off the ceiling into his ears like honey...but for her sake, he was keeping quiet...he was being CIVIL. he hated it, this compromising of his morals, with all his being, but the promise was made and he left the monsters have their day.

civil living is a lie. how can you possible expect to live in the life of someone, totally and completely enmeshed and not crash into their toes on a semi-regular basis? don't cop to the stuff of love. love doesn't protect your toes. love lets your toes get hurt

People think that they know everything about politics, and they like to talk all about it, or pride themselves in their self restraint...really, I don't know that anyone is owed much of anything. Except maybe thought. But as far as being forced to pay for other people, or denying people basic freedoms, no thanks. I had a wonderful Civics teacher in high school, though.

Civil. Be civil. Or I'll kick your ass ya dill hole. I don't like you. Cockgobbler. But honestly, civility is a pretty big misnomer these days. I mean what is civil but see i village?

Civil is blue and grey and the red fields where I lay my old sword, it was more like my father's or gandpa s and I bit down hard to stop the screamin, but it came to me none the less, all distant and close, and distant again even when it was my own. I guess I didn't get the worst of it, and others died a brilliant bloody fury like the sun exploding, and that mattered a great deal more than just a wound in trhe arm, and a hunch in my back like steel.

Civil. I've found it hard in the jpast hour to be civil, but I took a deep breath, got some of my frustration out of my system (to get it all out would be too incriminating. embarassing. I can't deal with it all at once) and I got back to civility. I'm happy for it.

Civil of you, harry, to do such a thing. There she was, standing with her hair blowing in the highway breeze, and you just drive right past. What a jerk. Who knows who she is or what she is running away from. She could be the one and you keep driving. How will you ever move away from home?

to be okay. to not have problems. to treat someone equal. kurt is never civil with me, he always has to make a problem. he can never let things be they always have to be unfair but "equal".

Civil unions, civil court--seems to me that civil has become suddenly "un." People chasing down love and calling it bad, a neighbor suing because he slipped on your sidewalk. Yeah, that's civil.

Civil. You were supposed to be civil. There was no room for idle killing in this town, no no no... At least not until I came along. I remember the first time i assassinated a man, there was such an uproar. People were crying outrage left and right. Civil. Bah. I say they're living in the past. No one is civil anymore. No one.

if only the two of you can be civil to each other. to at least for once look straight into each other's eyes and make a simple nod of acknowledgement. it wouldnt be so hard to finally have you and him resolve all the petines.. but seriously civil.. like you will ever become like that.

in the civil war ther are a lot of casualties. civilians are the most hampered in times of strife and tension that tend to have no bearing on their daily lives. but i guess all that matters is that in a daily life civility is what shud concerne our relationsips with others rather than just being a p

rights all right to a tight lipped cow about whether the weather is drivil or snivil or when now is now. It's all in the mind that I've left behind so what will the thing come about that what is in is all about and what is out is out. I'm expecting this thing to cut out when my time is up but I'm sure I've gone over 1 min by now. So stop while I can to begin again, and that's all there is for now.
