    Lisa Kleypas
    “I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight. But I was beginning to believe that a very few times in your life, if you were lucky, you might meet someone who was exactly right for you. Not because he was perfect, or because you were, but because your combined flaws were arranged in a way that allowed two separate beings to hinge together.”

    Charles Bukowski
    “Like anybody can tell you, I am not a very nice man. I don't know the word. I have
    always admired the villain, the outlaw, the son of a bitch. I don't like the clean-shaven
    boy with the necktie and the good job. I like desperate men, men with broken teeth
    and broken minds and broken ways. They interest me. They are full of surprises and
    explosions. I also like vile women, drunk cursing bitches with loose stockings and
    sloppy mascara faces. I'm more interested in perverts than saints. I can relax with
    bums because I am a bum. I don't like laws, morals, religions, rules. I don't like to be
    shaped by society.”
