“Please, trust me, I most definitely can be cheerful. I can be amiable. Agreeable. Affable. And that's only the A's. Just don't ask me to be nice. Nice has nothing to do with me.”

“Women choose poison because swords are heavy and we are not taught to use them. We choose it because we have children who need us, and we cannot be careless with our limbs and lives. We choose poison because we have been denied all other forms of redress. It is for these reasons and more that the Old One gave us this gift. It is a testament to women's essential goodness that we haven't turned to poison more often, for it is all around us.
Or perhaps we've just been biding our time.”

“He’s not perfect. You aren’t either, and the two of you will never be perfect. But if he can make you laugh at least once, causes you to think twice, and if he admits to being human and making mistakes, hold onto him and give him the most you can. He isn’t going to quote poetry, he’s not thinking about you every moment, but he will give you a part of him that he knows you could break. Don’t hurt him, don’t change him, and don’t expect for more than he can give. Don’t analyze. Smile when he makes you happy, yell when he makes you mad, and miss him when he’s not there. Love hard when there is love to be had. Because perfect guys don’t exist, but there’s always one guy that is perfect for you.”
