“Nobody expects you to exhibit godlike strength, excepting maybe yourself.”
― Juliet Marillier, Son of the Shadows

“Your actions are your own. Your choices are your own. Each of us carries a burden of guilt for decisions made or not made. You can let that rule your whole life or you can put it behind you and move on. Only a madman lets jealousy determine the course of his existence. Only a weak man blames others for his own errors.”
― Juliet Marillier, Son of the Shadows

“Cats, I decided, had certain advantages over men. There were loyal without being sycophantic, independent without being absent, and affectionate without being rapacious. That they choke up balls of fur and leave dead rodents at my feet is unfortunate. But it is not grounds for divorce.”
― Betsy Tobin, Ice Land

“If a man wants to leave you, wave goodbye and lock the doors. You've got better things to do than chase a lost cause.”
― Lyssa Kay Adams, The Bromance Book Club
