1 " Change--savor the cool, fresh flavor of it. "
― Nora Roberts , Genuine Lies
2 " Don't give up on your own happy-evers. "
3 " Survivors lived with their mistakes. "
4 " I wouldn't waste a day, not an hour, not a moment. Take what you want and damn caution. Live, enjoy. Feed ravenously. Or the biggest regret you'll have at the end of your life is wasted time. "
5 " I wonder if you can understand, I never really knew what it was to want, until you. "
6 " ... a man's plans are meant to be changed for a beautiful woman. "
7 " I feel something for you, some dangerous thing, some volatile thing. "
8 " She was the only woman he was afraid he would beg for. "

11 " Eve rose stiffly when he strode out of the house. In silence, she watched Julia look after him. "The male ego," Eve murmured as she crossed the room to put an arm around Julia's shoulders. "It's a huge and fragile thing. I always envision it as an enormous penis made of thin glass. "
12 " She forced herself to...turn and face him. It was easier with the width of the room between them. "I wanted to be able to take this relationship at face value, to enjoy it for what it was.... And I wanted to be sure I could walk away when it was over, completely unscathed. The problem is I can't.

He was grinning at her, rocking back and forth on his heels. In a minute she was sure he'd be whistling. "I'd appreciate it if you'd take that smug look off your face. This isn't -""I love you, Julia. "
13 " A kiss isn't terminal.""It is the way you do it. "

Paul answered the opening questions briefly, weighing his words, his eyes on Julia's."Would you tell the court the nature of your relationship with Miss Summers?""I'm in love with Miss Summers." The faintest of smiles touched his lips. "Completely in love with Miss Summers. "
15 " Politics. It’s for idiots and bad actors. "
16 " a movie set, Julia, is a tiny, intimate world, divorced from reality. No, immune to it.” She smiled to herself. “Fantasy, however difficult the work, is its own addiction. Which is why so many of us delude ourselves into believing we’ve fallen desperately in love with another character in that shiny bubble—for the length of time it takes to create a film. "
