But, dear God, don't listen to me. I'm an old lady in the middle of nowhere without a real toilet.

Love can come when you're already who you are, when you're filled with you. Not when you look to someone else to fill the empty space.

Sometimes maybe you should let someone you love travel great distances away from you. You shouldn’t think you needed to set out to retrieve them and put them back where they belonged. Sometimes they were only safe and happy, like Annabelle Aurora. And then other times, it was just possible they were lost at sea. It would be your duty, then, to get out into the boat and search, even if the waves were choppy and the wind was howling the protests of the dead.

Maybe it was wrong, or maybe impossible, but I wanted the truth to be one thing. One solid thing.

What Dino spent most of his time doing was hiring and firing new managers. Since he ditched William Tiero three-plus years ago, he just want through these poor guys like you go through a bag of M&M's when you've got your period. Consume, and on the the next.

When you raise an animal, you live it like your own child.

This was what happened after you'd been together with someone a long time. You loved that it was old and worn and comfy, but sometimes it was old and worn and comfy.
