“Daddy always said that you couldn’t see the stars in the city. But he’s wrong. They’re up there, twinkling dimly against all the light we create down here.”
― Lisa Unger, The New Couple in 5B

“Time changes with torment. It stretches on, lengthening seconds, extending minutes. I’ve learned that pain and fear have a way of prolonging. And as if that weren’t cruel enough, our minds make sure we relive those moments again and again and again, long after they’ve passed.  What a bastard, time is. ”
― Raven Kennedy, Glint

“The thing is never just the thing.”
― Lisa Unger, The New Couple in 5B

“If those stars really are goddesses waiting to be born, I should warn them to stay where they are in the safety of their twinkling light. Because down here? Down here, life is dark and lonely, and it has noisy bells and not nearly enough wine.”
― Raven Kennedy, Gild
