“that nothing can break. No distance, no circumstance, no power, can rend it. There is no darkness, no storm that can put out its light. It is that which inspires us, encourages us, heals us, binds us one to another in innumerable ways of the heart and soul. And every step in between, no matter how difficult, is ordered and protected. Love is the song from which the One-Who-Is-Three sings us into being. It is love that calls us home to itself. It is love from which we spring and love to which we return. In the end, it is always love that saves us.”
― Leigh Roberts, The Edge of Hope

“Layla would…” It wasn’t that she’d die for me—she threw herself in danger for a near stranger. It was that I could lay my head in her lap and know I’d wake safe.”
― Ellen Mint, Fang

“Defective souls have an uncanny way of finding each other. They have built-in homing beacons that light up whenever they come close to another soul whose wavelength closely matches their own. The act of coming too close will inadvertently sear them together.”

“The safer choice.
Not the better choice. Not the only choice. The safer choice.
I know a little something about that, unfortunately. Making safe choices.”
