    Nicholas Sparks
    “I have faith that God will show you the answer. But you have to understand that sometimes it takes a while to be able to recognize what God wants you to do. That's how it often is.

But other times, in those rarest of moments, the answer is obvious and rings as loud as a church bell.”
    Nicholas Sparks, The Last Song

    Chuck Palahniuk
    “How miserably hypocritical, you might say, but no sooner am I offered a chance to flee Hell than I yearn to stay. Few families hold their relations as closely as do prisons. Few marriages sustain the high level of passion that exists between criminals and those who seek to bring them to justice. It’s no wonder the Zodiac Killer flirted so relentlessly with the police. Or that Jack the Ripper courted and baited detectives with his - or her - coy letters. We all wish to be pursued. We all long to be desired.”
    Chuck Palahniuk, Damned

Deep down below the surface, we all want to be safe, we all want to be loved, and we all want to be respected. (15)”
    Jonathan Nasaw, Twenty Seven Bones
