There have been plenty of chances to close my eyes and go back to the sleep of my life as it was, but I hadn't taken any of them. Do I wish now that I had? It's hard to answer that question, as the wraiths move closer.

There's nothing particularly dark in my past... I live in the light. My disposition is basically happy. I have a good life.

I think that's the moment when we all grow up, when we stop blaming our parents for the messes we've made out of our lives and start owning the consequences of our actions.

I don't believe in mistakes. Never have. I believe that there are a multitude of paths before us and it's just a matter of which way we walk home. I don't believe in regret. If you regret things about your life, than I'll bet that you're not paying attention. Regret is just imagining that you know what would have happened if you took that job in California or married your high-school sweetheart or just looked one more time before you stepped out into the street ... or didn't. But you don't know; you can't possibly know.

The truth has not so much set us free as it has ripped away a carefully constructed facade, leaving us naked to begin again.

In the end, I cared about him so much that I just thought he deserved someone who loved him more than I did.

Love accepts. Forgiveness comes in time.
