    “I am a creature of the Fey
    Prepare to give your soul away
    My spell is passion and it is art
    My song can bind a human heart
    And if you chance to know my face
    My hold shall be your last embrace.

    I shall be thy lover...

    I am unlike a mortal lass
    From dreams of longing I have passed
    I came upon your lonely cries
    Revealed beauty to your eyes
    So shun the world that you have known
    And spend your nights within my own.

    I shall be thy lover...

    You shall be known by other men
    For your great works of voice and pen
    Yet inspiration has a cost
    For with me know your soul is lost
    I'll take your passion and your skill
    I'll take your young life quicker still.

    I shall be thy lover...

    Through the kisses that I give
    I draw from you that I will live
    And though you think this weakness grand
    The touch of death your lover's hand
    Your will to live has come too late
    Come to my arms and love this fate

    I shall be thy lover...

    I am a creature of the Fey
    Prepare to give your soul away
    My spell is passion and it is art
    My song can bind a human heart
    And if you chance to know my face
    My hold shall be your last embrace.”
    Heather Alexander

    Fiona Thrust

    J. Kenner
    “Do you know what passion is?”
    I blink, confused.

    Hermann Hesse
    “I learned through my body and soul that it was necessary to sin, that I needed lust, that I had to strive for property and experience nausea and the depths of despair in order to learn not to resist them, in order to learn to love the world, and no longer compare it with some kind of desired imaginary vision of perfection, but to leave it as it is, to love it and be glad to belong to it.”
    Hermann Hesse

  • #12
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
    “...for it is the fate of a woman
    Long to be patient and silent, to wait like a ghost that is speechless,
    Till some questioning voice dissolves the spell of its silence.
    Hence is the inner life of so many suffering women
    Sunless and silent and deep, like subterranean rivers
    Runnng through caverns of darkness...”
    Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The courtship of Miles Standish, and other poems

    Warsan Shire
    “You want me to be a tragic backdrop so that you can appear to be illuminated, so that people can say ‘Wow, isn’t he so terribly brave to love a girl who is so obviously sad?’ You think I’ll be the dark sky so you can be the star? I’ll swallow you whole.”
    Warsan Shire

    Coco Chanel
    “It’s probably not just by chance that I’m alone. It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he’s terribly strong. And if he’s stronger than I, I’m the one who can’t live with him. … I’m neither smart nor stupid, but I don’t think I’m a run-of-the-mill person. I’ve been in business without being a businesswoman, I’ve loved without being a woman made only for love. The two men I’ve loved, I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven, because men always remember a woman who caused them concern and uneasiness. I’ve done my best, in regard to people and to life, without precepts, but with a taste for justice.”
    Coco Chanel

    “I want to show you that pleasure can be pain…”
    Whatever you want.
    “And pain can be pleasure…”
    Anything.
    “And that those worlds can be yours if you just let go and exist…”
    I’ll follow you anywhere.
    “I want to break you apart. And put you back together again.”
    I’m yours.
    “Beautiful, I want to make you fly.”
    Please. Anything.”
    D.L. Hess, Sir: The Awakening

    Veronica Roth
    “Then I realize what it is. It's him. Something about him makes me feel like I am about to fall. Or turn to liquid. Or burst into flames.”
    Veronica Roth, Divergent

  • #18
    Anaïs Nin
    “I am an excitable person who only understands life lyrically, musically, in whom feelings are much stronger as reason. I am so thirsty for the marvelous that only the marvelous has power over me. Anything I can not transform into something marvelous, I let go. Reality doesn't impress me. I only believe in intoxication, in ecstasy, and when ordinary life shackles me, I escape, one way or another. No more walls.”
    Anais Nin

    Alexandra Katehakis
    “The process of dissociation is an elegant mechanism built into the human psychological system as a form of escape from (sometimes literally) going crazy. The problem with checking out so thoroughly is that it can leave us feeling dead inside, with little or no ability to feel our feelings in our bodies. The process of repair demands a re-association with the body, a commitment to dive into the body and feel today what we couldn’t feel yesterday because it was too dangerous.”
    Alexandra Katehakis, Mirror of Intimacy: Daily Reflections on Emotional and Erotic Intelligence

  • #22
    “Dissociation gets you through a brutal experience, letting your basic survival skills operate unimpeded…Your ability to survive is enhanced as the ability to feel is diminished…All feeling are blocked; you ‘go away.’ You are disconnected from the act, the perpetrator & yourself…Viewing the scene from up above or some other out-of-body perspective is common among sexual abuse survivors.”
    Renee Fredrickson, Repressed Memories: A Journey to Recovery from Sexual Abuse

    Victoria Aveyard
    “I'm an accident. I'm a lie. And my life depends on maintaining the illusion.”
    Victoria Aveyard, Red Queen

  • #24
    Lemony Snicket
    “When someone is crying, of course, the noble thing to do is to comfort them. But if someone is trying to hide their tears, it may also be noble to pretend you do not notice them.”
    Lemony Snicket, Horseradish: Bitter Truths You Can't Avoid

  • #25
    F. Scott Fitzgerald
    “The loneliest moment in someone’s life is when they are watching their whole world fall apart, and all they can do is stare blankly.”
    F. Scott Fitzgerald

  • #26
    Jodi Picoult
    “Let me tell you this: if you meet a loner, no matter what they tell you, it's not because they enjoy solitude. It's because they have tried to blend into the world before, and people continue to disappoint them.”
    Jodi Picoult, My Sister's Keeper
