1 " The pain had no ebb or flow. It was a constant ever-increasing knell in my chest, timed to the beating of my broken heart. "
― Mary Lindsey , Ashes on the Waves
2 " It's difficult to reconcile the fantastic with reality; hard to accept that things we can’t see exist—terrifying, in fact. "
3 " ... it's not possible to truly become desensitized or accustomed to discrimination. It's something one endures. "
4 " Sometimes natural and self-inflicted atonement is more severe than that of mankind’s devising. "
5 " Something instinctual in me sensed evil in the house. Perhaps it spoke to my own darkness. "
6 " I had to be careful. Nothing from the Otherworld was benign, especially something in packaging this attractive. "
7 " I learned long ago that I couldn't stop it, but if I began to believe the stories, I would become as lost as they expected; I refused to let that happen. So instead, I had developed the ability to tune out the ugliness and bring beauty into focus. If that part of my soul remained dominant, the darker side of me could not advance. "
8 " Something darker always lurked under even the most placid surface. "
