“The sights and sounds of human depravity were too much to forget. Is this hell? She wondered fleetingly. If not, where is God?”

“She sounded so bright and businesslike that I wondered if I had hallucinated the part where she basically told us we were all going to die.”

“The Wonder of the Woods,Lies less in Sight then Sensing, Less in Sound than Silence.”

“She was glad she didn’t know where it would take her. Because sometimes the only thing thatgot you through hell was that you were in too deep to pull out. [Ehlena]”

“She tells of moments when she would forget, when her own simmering evil would seem to dissipate and let through the clear spectacle of life.

Or, if they were meant for her, they could break her heart as easily as mend it...”

“Is willing to accept that she creates her own reality except for some of the parts where she can't help but wonder what the hell she was thinking”
