“Marriage gave you the truest insight into who a person was. You were surrounded by their every move, their reactions, their habits, their flaws, and you grew to understand them, accept them, or fight against them.”
― Christy Aldridge, These Ghosts Bleed

“Just because the eyes are the windows to our soul doesn't mean the people who stare into them love what they see. Sometimes, they see something they want to own or break, something inside the irises they want to steal for themselves, to take the light from your gaze until they see nothing but their own reflections.”
― Christy Aldridge, These Ghosts Bleed

“I want to love you wildly. I don’t want words, but inarticulate cries, meaningless, from the bottom of my most primitive being, that flow from my belly like honey. A piercing joy, that leaves me empty, conquered, silenced.”
― Anaïs Nin

“You either have a God who sends child rapists to rape children or you have a God who simply watches it and says, ‘When you’re done, I’m going to punish you.’If I could stop a person from raping a child, I would. That’s the difference between me and your God.”
― Tracie Harris
