“Those true eyes Too pure and too honest in aught to disguise The sweet soul shining through them.”

“This pure little drop from a pure little source was too sweet: it penetrated deep, and subdued the heart”

“His face, like everything she knew about him, was purely contradictory. That cherubic mouth with those penetrating eyes: he was too lovely to be menacing, but too intense to be innocent.”

“I really love this city. It’s so very beautiful. It’s so multidimensional.People say it has a darkness and a decadence, which it tries to hide; they say it’s full of the pretentious and opulent trying to strangle the dark reality. But that’s true for most of the other great cities too. . . .There is a soul here . . . and that soul is as pure as the heat of the sun that shines down on it and the rain that falls to purify it.”

“Those innocent eyes cut my soul like a razor...however, in a depraved man this, too, might be only a sensual attraction.”

“The journey to a thousand stars is not too far a journey in the quest to have true love abiding in a pure heart.”
