“You know, what I hate most about him is the person he makes me into.”
― Bridget Collins, The Betrayals

“I’d do almost anything not to have to be myself any more.”
― Bridget Collins, The Binding

“Believe me, there isn't an intonation in your voice, not a gesture, not a smile that I don't take seriously. But your thoughts I take less seriously. I take seriously all that I find essential and necessary in you. Why do you want particular attention paid to your thoughts, when you have so many other gifts?”
― Hermann Hesse, Narcissus and Goldmund

“Which was worse? To feel nothing, or to grieve for something you no longer remembered? Surely when you forgot, you’d forget to be sad, or what was the point? And yet that numbness would take part of your self away, it would be like having pins-and-needles in your soul … I took a deep breath.”
― Bridget Collins, The Binding
