What is love anyway, she thinks, but a grand illusion? We fall in love with an ideal, not a reality. -Karen

People always think it's the husband, but sometimes, it's the wife. -Jane

Marriage is a promise. I think that promises are made to be kept, not broken, and I wish more people would try to remember that. Maybe if people didn't go around breaking their promises, there would be fewer broken people in the world. -My Husband's Wife (Eden)

The sky can change with the slightest breeze, but people rarely do. They are what they are. -Birdy

Life is an invisible cage for birds who don't learn to see the bars it builds around them. When the door is left open, you have to fly. -Birdy

Death is as uncertain as life. Everything. Can. Change. Everything. Accepting that things change and learning to navigate wrong turns is the secret to a happy life. No prediction is ever 100% certain. That's why it's called a prediction. -Birdy

Sometimes we inherit heartbreak. Sometimes we inherit hate. -Birdy

"The truth isn't as valuable as people think. Time with the people you love most is worth so much more than money, or truth, or doing the right thing. Trust me, when you get to where I am, you'll have a much clearer view of the world. Your life gets a whole lot less complicated when it's almost over." -Birdy

Sometimes hurting people is the only way to make them listen. -Gabriella

History has a horrible habit of repeating itself in families. But sometimes the past only becomes clear in the present, when the dust of our decisions has had time to settle. -Birdy

"Harrison isn't the villain in this story. For years, I thought it was me and that Eden was the hero. I was wrong. She was a liar. She stole my family from me. She was my husband's wife. His second wife. And she deserved to die." -Birdy

"The truth is some people are better off alone. All the things I found charming about him at the start of our relationship, were the things I couldn't stand about him in the end. The things we had in common became the things I most wanted to change about myself. Funny though. I think love is a filter that turns everything ugly about a person into something that appears beautiful." -Birdy

When she's sad, she paints a wolf. When she's scared, she paints a fox. And when she's happy, she paints a bird. -Birdy in reference to Gabriella

Feelings are like visitors. They come and they go. And sometimes they stay when uninvited. -Birdy

When you remove consequences, you get chaos. Even people you would have never thought capable of murder can turn into monsters when they think their time is up. -Harrison

The world population is estimated to be 10 billion by 2026. Human beings are already the most dangerous species on the planet. When people know they are dying anyway, and have nothing left to lose, they'll take the rest of the world down with them knowing they'll never have to pay the price. -Harrison

My work had made me a wealthy man, but I might have had a richer life had I spent more time with my family and less time on my career. And understanding that too late made me miserable. -Harrison

I have been addicted to ambition my whole life. Working, but not living. My eyes fixed on a lonely prize. Because that's all success really is. It's all it can ever be. There are winners in life and there are losers. Nobody ever remembers the runner up. -Harrison

It's a common misconception that the initial 48 hours are the most critical when a child goes missing. But that's a lie. If it has taken that long to find them, chances are they're already dead. -Birdy

"Perhaps you would like to continue this conversation at the station?"

"I'd rather slam my penis in a car door."

Why must men behave like men?

-Birdy and Harrison
