“I can awaken things inside you that have been sleeping all your life. You're strong enough to live in the dark, to glory in it. You can become a queen of the shadows. Why not take that power, Elena? Let me help you take it.”

“Your life will be transformed when you make peace with your shadow. The caterpillar will become a breathtakingly beautiful butterfly. You will no longer have to pretend to be someone you're not. You will no longer have to prove you're good enough. When you embrace your shadow you will no longer have to life in fear. Find the gifts of your shadow and you will finally revel in all the glory of your true self. Then you will have the freedom to create the life you have always desired.”

“As long as you're alive......you can't put life on hold like you can with a game-so that's why......those brief respites......when you can forget all the bitterness and pain...they let you take a breath......and calm your heart.If you don't give yourself that kind of time......living on just becomes, every so often-it gets to be too painful.”

“Let's go into the woods and take some pictures," you said. "I found this old camera.""Let go!" you screamed. "Let go of me!""You have to let go," the counselor told me. "Let go of what you're holding inside."I can touch the picture but it's not your face.I can touch the screen but it's not your face.Let go.”

“If you betray me, Leta…Kill me. Be kind and don’t let me live in the shadow of your cruelty. I can’t take another blow like that. I’m not that strong. (Aiden)”

“Can you lay your life down, so a stranger can live?Can you take what you need, but take less than you give?Could you close every day, without the glory and fame?Could you hold your head high, when no one knows your name?That's how legends are made, at least that's what they say.We say goodbye, but never let go.We live, we die, cause you can't save every soul.Gotta take every chance to, show that you're the kinda man who;Will never look back, never look down,and never let go.”
