“Don't turn your back on your own happiness just to hug your pride.”

“She sighed once, wishing she had a talent for the details of telling stories. She wasn't bad at themes, she mused, but she could never figure out how to turn a theme into an engaging tale. So she read instead, and admired those who could.”

“I'm going to treat myself to one of these as a reward for not knocking himself unconscious with a skillet.”

“Love spells are nothing but wives' tales. You can't play magic inside the heart, for it's more powerful than any spell. Lust you can order up with a wink, desire with a smile. But love is love, and there is nothing can touch it.”

“A relationship isn't something that has to be created in a day or perfected in a day. Part of the game is to keep working on it. It's something that'll always be just a little flawed.”

“We've got this heat going on, that's all. If it's all the same to you, I'd rather not go into that end ofthings.""Oh, it's all the same to me.

“הסקרנות דחפה אותה להמשיך הלאה, ניזונה מההתרגשות המצמררת של התגנבות ליער באמצע הלילה. הקולות וההבזקים מהרקיע רק הוסיפו להרפתקה.”

“היא אהבה סערות; את האופן שהרוחות התערבלו והסתחררו בין העצים ואיך שהשמיים נהיו מפחידים, כשברקים חתכו אותם והבזיקו. ואולי הסערה הזאת תביא גשם ורוח ואוויר קריר יותר. אולי.”

“פעולה, תגובה, מוטיבציה, רגש, הכול צריך לבוא מהדמויות.”

“אם אתה לא מתקדם, תמיד תישאר באותו מקום.”
