"People that have been consistently hurt by others in life will only see the one time you hurt them and be blinded to all the good your heart has to offer. They look no further than what they want to see. Unfortunately, most of them remain a victim throughout their life."

"April and May were painful, lonely months for me because I couldn't talk to you. I never knew that spring could be so painful and lonely. Better to have three Februaries than a spring like this."

Strategy

Quote_1.png
Kristen Ashley
"Don't go woman on me and tell me you don't need a man to complete you. It's bullshit. Woman looks like you, goddamn waste. But a woman who has the love you got to give, that's not a waste. That's a crying shame."

Happiness

Quote_1.png
Kristen Ashley
"Wars fought over a face like this, he murmured like he was talking to himself, my heart stopped beating and his thumbs moved lightly across my cheeks. 'A man would work himself into the ground for it, go down to his knees to beg to keep it, endure torture to protect it, take a bullet for it, his eyes came to mine, 'poison his brother to possess a face like this."

Exploration

Kristen Ashley
"She nodded, grabbed her purse out of the drawer and skedaddled, walking like she was on a catwalk, one foot in front of the other, her ass swaying under the skirt of her expensive, tailored suit.Bitch. I thought again, watching her go.'No comparison, Luke said after the door closed behind Dawn and I turned to him.'Excuse me?'Dawn's a man eater. You're not. No comparison, Luke answered and I didn't know how to take that.'Is that good?The half-smile came back.'Most men prefer to do the eating.Holy fucking cow."

Society

Quote_1.png
Kristen Ashley
"Romance novels. My guess? She started reading them early. My guess? She started them at a time where they made a huge impression on her and changed her perceptions. She isn't cocooned, she pays attention and she knows there are no men out there like the men in those books she reads so she prefers being with them than trying to find someone like them which, she thinks, is a fruitless endeavor. That fantasy is far better than any reality and, you know what? She's right. Men are a pain in the ass and a lot of them are dicks who cause heartbreak. And her, a girl life Faye? Well, she knows she's the kind of girl men like that will chew up and spit out. So she's smart and she's not going to go there."

Desire

"You fight with Niles?' Max asked suddenly.'No.'Never?'No! And stop asking about Niles,' I demanded.He ignored my demand and kept questioning. 'Didn't care enough to fight, didn't match you in fire, or was so lazy he just put up with your shit?"
