Erin’s Quotes

“She said, “So my question is this. Does Angel the vampire keep a pair of black leather pants in his closet? Just in case? Like fat pants? Do vampires have closets? Or does he donate his evil pants to Goodwill when he’s good again? Because if so then every time he turns evil, he has to go buy new evil pants.”

“Stephen Hawking… found it tantalizing that we could not remember the future. But remembering the future is child's play for me now.
