“I love Wren and he knows it.”“Yeah, but he seems like he wouldn’t welcome it.”“Sometimes he doesn’t. But it’s like Cherise says, the hardest ones to love are always the ones whoneed it most.”(Aimee to Fang)”

“He had always felt that he lived on the edges of life, Constantine realized, watching everyone else living, sometimes helping them do it.”

“The difference between what he had been then and what he now was, was enormous...Then he was free and fearless...now he felt himself caught in the meshes of a stupid, empty, valueless, frivolous life...He remembered how proud he was at one time of his straightforwardness, how he had made a rule of always speaking the truth...and he was now sunk deep in lies...lies considered as truth by all who surrounded him.”
