“It's tucked away in a quiet corner, shadowed and obscured, no part of the Nightside's usual bright gaudy neon noir. It doesn't advertise and it doesn't care if you habitually pass by on the other side. It's just there for when you need it. Dedicated to the patron saint of lost causes, St. Jude's is an old old place... St. Jude's isn't a place for comfort for frills and fancies and the trappings of religion. just a place where you can talk to your god and sometimes get an answer.”
“Risk, then, is not just part of life. It is life. The place between your comfort zone and yourdream is where life takes place. It's the high-anxiety zone, but it's also where you discoverwho you are.”
“But haven't you noticed that with guys like Jude, a girl just doesn't care about her reputation?”
“The truth is I'm in a place without a bright side or a one best thing. I'm in a place where, honest to God, you feel you can kill your friends just by asking the names of stars.”
“Just because you have to walk sometimes doesn't mean life isn't taking you places.”
“This world is nothing but a trap. The only place where a man is safe and gets comfort is the secluded place of God.”
