    Stevie Nicks
    “Maybe we were together in another life...in a parallel universe, maybe our paths are not supposed to cross twice, maybe your arms are not supposed to go around me.

    Gaby Dunn
    “Maybe there’s a universe out there — happening now — where we end up together.
    Maybe there’s a universe where I’m the right person for you. Where I adore every nice thing you did for me without starting to resent you. A universe where you actually end up with someone who appreciates you. Where no one becomes a doormat. Where both of us can shed our baggage and curiosity and issues.

    If you think of it all this way, then it’s like neither of us did anything wrong.

    You just found me in the wrong universe. That’s all.

    Because you could have loved me forever. And maybe in another universe, I let you.”
    Gaby Dunn

    Marissa Meyer
    “Did you know that she was cyborg?” asked a woman in an unhidden tone of disgust.
    Kai stared at her, appearing confused, then let his gaze dance over the crowd. He shuffled his feet
    closer to the podium, a wrinkle forming on the bridge of his nose.
    Cinder bit the inside of her cheek and braced herself for adamant disgust. Who would ever invite a
    cyborg to the ball?
    But instead, Kai said simply, “I don’t see that her being cyborg is relevant. Next question?”
    Cinder’s metal fingers jolted.”
    Marissa Meyer, Scarlet
