1 " We're broken in complementary ways, thus rendering our damage comprehensible to each other. "
― Ann Aguirre , Killbox (Sirantha Jax, #4)
2 " Men always want to be remembered whereas women realize that requires being dead. "
3 " Now I know there are ways to belong to someone that don’t take anything away. A relationship shouldn’t impose limits—and if it does, then it’s wrong. A lover should help you exceed your potential, not clip your wings. "
4 " We’re bound by chains of love, but they don’t weigh us down. Instead, they allow us to be bigger and better than we are. "
5 " Just . . . love me, and let tomorrow look after itself. "
6 " Men can be very stupid. We cease to value what we have until it's gone, and only then do we realize the gold we glimpsed in distant hills pales as dross compared to treasure we had in hand. "
7 " Nobility and self-sacrifice sound wonderful in theory, but now he’s seen how it feels. A dead hero is still dead at the end of the day, and you’re still alone. "
8 " His reply offers infinite solace in a single word. Always. "

13 " There’s always room in the heart for others, too. "
14 " There are shades of warmth from the sweet ember of possibility to the roaring fire that fills your soul. "
15 " I never felt beautiful unless I was fighting. "
16 " There's no guarantee I'll survive it, but that's sort of the human condition, isn't it? In the end, nobody gets out alive. "
17 " I choose not to serve the Conglomerate as an ambassador, but that doesn't mean I've given up on humanity. Surrender isn't a word in my personal lexicon; there are other ways and means. If nothing else, Ithiss-Tor taught me there's always a choice. "
18 " She reaches for me then, angry in her tenderness as only Dina can be. "Not as a navigator, you dumb bitch. "
19 " Some of the smugglers' vessels are former pleasure yachts, hijacked - and never renamed - out of some overdeveloped sense of irony or possibly...sheer laziness. You can never tell with pirates. "
20 " I nod. "Shall we go raise some hell?"March grins at me, looking more like himself than he has for months. "I thought you'd never ask. "
