"L'amour fleurit comme l'amarante, naissant au moment même où des êtres s'éteignent.''

"The first time I saw him and realized he was something else, something dark and powerful and about as human as a fruit basket, I fought the urge to make my fingers into a cross and say, "I think you’re at the wrong address, buddy. You’re looking for 666 Highway to Hell Avenue. It’s a little farther south."

“My love is like a candle. Carry me with you and I'll light your path. Forget me and I'll burn your fucking house down. - T-SHIRT”

“I think senility is going to be a fairly smooth transition for me. -TRUE FACT Beep”

“What other secrets are you hiding behind those sparkling eyes?"

He grinned. “You have my heart. That’s where I hide all my secrets.”

“Then I guess I don’t have the key.”

“Are you kidding? You forged the key.”

“Let me get this straight. You have no intention of telling me what's wrong. You don't want to talk about whatever is wrong. And you're going to let me continue to believe I've done something horrible before you'll open up. Even if, say, I restrain you? Force it out of you?"

"The only thing you are going to force out of me under the confinement of restraints is an orgasm."

Finally! "So, you'd be open to my restraining you for my own sexual pleasure?"

"Wide open."

"And, it would be something you'd enjoy?"

"Who wouldn't?”

“In the meantime, I had to get dressed and go to work, because going to work in my pajamas was apparently the definition of unprofessional. Cookie's words. I looked it up though. She was wrong. Webster's mentioned nothing about pajamas.”

“I’m married to a billionaire like in all those books I read where the superrich guy falls in love with the poor chick who may not have much in the way of money but is wealthy in vivacity and sprightliness and is really into bondage?”

“All humans make mistakes. What determines a person's character aren't the mistakes we make. It's how we take those mistakes and turn them into lessons rather than excuses.”

“Fifteen seconds. That’s all it takes to completely change everything about a person. Fifteen.”
