Teresa Mummert

“Lust is the difference between loving someone and being in love with someone.”

“You can't love someone just by looking at them. That is lust. Not saying love can't come fast, but it doesn't come first.”

“We need to stop trying to get attention by seeing who can scream and cry the loudest. Write something worth reading and your voice will be heard.”

“Love will hurt. If it doesn't hurt you are not doing it right. To truly love someone you must open yourself up to the pain that would be losing them.”

“Never outgrow your imagination.”

“When a woman shows confidence and another claims arrogance, she is usually suffering from jealousy.”

“Someone is always going to try to knock you down and take your place. It is up to you to fight for what you want.”

“Love comes from the heart, lust comes ...lower”

“The moment you put someone on a pedestal they will look down upon you. The trick is respecting each other equally.”

“There is no greater feeling of accomplishment than to create a world that solely exists in your imagination and be able to pull someone into this hidden place inside of my thoughts. To make someone care for a person that has manifested from my dreams, to make them hate me for putting them in danger, and for them to ask to be taken on another journey with me when it is all said and done is why I write.”

“If you don't believe in yourself, why should anyone else?”

“Never let the opinion of another affect your opinion of yourself.”

“Sometimes I scare myself at how easily I slip inside my mind and live vicariously through these characters.”

“Here is how you know if it is love or lust. Push them in front of a bus. If you jump in the way and save them it is love.”
