“How could it be possible that one look from him cold turn me from a strong independent woman to a shy little girl? He was the living embodiment of romance, the hero in my own little fairy tale world.”

“I had fallen head over heels in love with him. He had made romance and love real for me. My soul was forever intertwined with his, for better or worse, until death does us part.”

“I felt as if I had gotten to the point where I could no longer trust myself. I was not the same person any longer. My whole genetic makeup had somehow been altered by him and I was a brand new person, one that was completely foreign to me.”

“I'm a firm believer that, from the time you're born until the second your last breath has been drawn from your body, our lives are all about taking risks. It's how you respond to those risks, when everything is on the line, which truly defines a person's life.”

“You shouldn't be embarrassed by the things you do because that's who you are. Your quirks are what separate you from all of the dull, regular and boring people who all look and act the same as everyone else.”

“You promise you'll never leave?" "Not even death could make me leave.”

“A part of me does not want to think that I always knew something was wrong.=. This is probably the same part that didn't look at the evidence that was right before my eyes, and even though I know this, it does not stop me from defending the fairy tale.”
