I'd never met coffee that wasn't wonderful. It was just a matter of how wonderful it was.

Being a successful couple was learning what you were willing to compromise on, and what you weren't; learning when to stand your ground, and when to give it up; what was truly important enough to fight over, and what was just you being pissy. You learned each other's hot buttons, the places that hurt, or angered, when you pressed them. Love makes you learn where all the pitfalls are, and how to avoid them, or how to set them off.

My father had taught me to be nice first, because you can always be mean later, but once you've been mean to someone, they won't believe the nice anymore. So be nice, be nice, until it's time to stop being nice, then destroy them.

...you don't need ghosts to be haunted. Memory does that just fine without any supernatural help at all.

I'd killed him in the end, but revenge only makes things all better in the movies. In real life, once the villain is dead the trauma lives on inside the victims.

Is it better to outmonster the monsters or to be quietly devoured?

I thought of several alec smart remarks, but you should humor crazy people when you're at their mercy; it's a rule.
