“Falling in love was easy-when romantic attraction was combined with hungry, unsated desire, they formed a glamorous, glittering bauble as fragile as it was alluring, a bauble that could shatter as soon as it was grasped.Tenderness was a different story. It had staying power and the promise of a future.”
“She had been nothing but a beloved bauble passed from a mother to a son, a decoration of vanity, devoid of identity.”
“She took my heat. Traded it to the devil for some bauble.”
“The love of power and the power to attract love were not easy to reconcile.”
“According to the Law of Attraction, the physical reality that you experience at present is drawn towards the future probability you desired when it attains more power.”
“....both had learned that everything could change in an instant, and that the heartfelt vows of people in love were fragile words that, once shattered, could cut so deeply you'd bleed forever.”
