Nothing turns to hate so bitter as what once was love.

I am the Executioner. Murder someone in my town, and I’m the one that you get to see. Once.

Not knowing a thing is not ignorance. Feigning knowledge you don't have can be--Sholto

Every relationship is messed up. What makes it really perfect is if you still want to be there when things suck.

trust me, Anita, if you get dead, especially if he blames himself in any way, he will be a force of destruction looking for a place to be aimed. And he's blamed himself for introducing you to Olaf here from the get-go. If Olaf did to you what he's done to some of his other victims, Edward would drown the world in blood to erase those images.

Edward's grief if you die will be a terrible thing. It will hurt him, a lot, and men like him never grieve alone. He will spread his grief all over us, not because we failed, but because it'll give him something to focus on so he doesn't have to feel the pain.

One of my rules is never explain. A writer is a lot like a magician, if you explain how the trick works then a lot of the magic turns mundane.
