Never mind, said Hachiko each day. Here I wait, for my friend who's late. I will stay, just to walk beside you for one more day.

When someone loves you, the way they say your name is different. You know that your name is safe in their mouth.

I knew what it felt like to have no say in who you were as a sexual being. It didn't just strip away your dignity. It stripped away everything you were: your identity, your self-respect, your pleasure. Because it was all about the pleasure of the other person take, take, taking whatever they wanted from you, even if it was uncomfortable, or caused you pain. Even if you died from it, the other person still wouldn't care, because it was all about them.

I felt like an animal, and animals don't know sin, do they?

The true Losers in Life, are not those who Try and Fail, but those who Fail to Try.

The words marriage and divorce were always used together, like they went hand in hand together.

Killing animals to make a fashion statement = a sickening + cold-blooded vanity.
