For peace to take hold, one person must first stop fighting.

For I need this scar over my heart to remind me. Crazy as it sounds, if I can bear the wound on my body, it lessens what I must carry on my soul. How he knew that about me, I cannot fathom.

But I miss the woman I was, even as I learn to accept the new creature I’ve become.

I think people can be trusted to know what makes them unhappy. Maybe we don't always know what we want exactly, but we can usually say what we don't with a fair amount of specificity.

Each time Stalker called you 'dove', I wanted to hit him. Because you're not a little gray bird... you're all the light in the world.

Because it takes more courage to heal the world's hurts than to inflict them.

I never belonged anywhere until I met you.
