“Life is like the oil within a lamp. It can be measured, but the pace at which it burns depends on how the dial is turned day by day, how bright and fierce the flame. And there is no predicting whether the lamp might be knocked to the ground and shatter, when it could have blazed on a great while longer. Such is the unpredictability of life.”
― Margaret Rogerson, Sorcery of Thorns

“Sometimes it takes years for your life to change. In some cases a lifetime. You wake up one morning, look around, and suddenly realize that everything has changed. The people you thought were your friends, loved ones... they are long gone. Your life isn’t the same. Time slipped away and you didn’t even notice a thing.
However, sometimes...sometimes it can change right in front of your eyes.
All it takes is the blink of an eye.
One moment you think you can handle anything life throws at you...and the next moment...well, to but it nicely...you’re screwed.”

“So...what I’m saying is love can do anything and everything...as long as you don’t have a curse hanging over your head like I do. Oh, and you have to be willing to let love into your life, open that heavy door that leads the poor guy into the maze that is your heart, so to speak.
That’s the tricky part, isn’t it? You have to let love in. You have to open yourself up, share your least lovable parts, the deepest, darkest corners of your soul. That’s the only way to experience real love.”

“You’re not even that hot from this close. If I could take it back, trust me, I would. You are nothing like what I thought you’d be.”
“Thanks,” I drawled. “And here I was hoping you were in love with me.”
Another fake smile. “I don’t to love, and you’re not my type anyway, sorry.”
Like I’d believe that after I saw the pictures she’d taken of me half-naked. “My heart is fucking broken, sweetheart.”
“As it should be, and don’t call me sweetheart.”
I chuckled and shook my head. The nerve.”
