26 " you’re worth more than the sums of your mistakes. "
27 " This is why humans invented lies, I thought. No other animal in nature lies. The truth is ruthless. It cuts you open, shoving your face into the mud. It forces you to look reality in the eye and deal with it. To feel the real weight of the world that you live in. "
28 " Falling in love was so tragic. No wonder it made people so sad. "

32 " We are who we choose to be, "
33 " We fell in love fast and slow. Hard and soft. With everything we had in us, yet we both refused to give anything away. "
34 " Some people just needed a tight hug. Around the neck. Wait, I was actually thinking about choking him. "
35 " My wings are not meant to fly,” I whispered. “They’re meant to shield our family. "
36 " Pretty lies and devastating truths. "
37 " Your love story was no fairy tale. More like a witch tale. Wicked and real and painful. "
38 " Maybe I am the monster. After all, I come out to play at night. But so do you, little one. You’re out in the darkness, too. "
39 " With Angelo, I felt warm and fuzzy. Under a rich blanket of security. With Wolfe, I felt as if I was on fire. As though he could end me at any given moment, and all I could do was hope for his mercy. I felt safe, but not secure. Desired, but unwanted. Admired, but unloved. "
40 " Vita mia, what is love without a little risk? "
