A new word. Bright with possibilities. A flawless pearl to turn over and over in my hand, then put away for safekeeping.

Beautiful people don't need coats. They've got their auras to keep them warm.

I've always admired your rather formidable will, your refusal to back away from difficulties, but sometimes strength isn't about perseverance. Sometimes it's about knowing when to quit.

I will rain down silver and gold for you. I will shatter the black night, break it open, and pour out a million stars. Turn away from the darkness, the madness, the pain. Open your eyes and know that I am here. That I remember and hope. Open your eyes and look at the light.

I listened as the words became sentences and the sentences became pages and the pages became feelings and voices and places and people.

You can't argue with the dead, no matter what you say, they always have the last word.

There is an advantage to be found in most everything that happens to you, even if it is not immediately apparent.
