“When trust is gone, a man no longer believes in humanity.” ~Ty Callahan~”

“And he believed because loving her meant believing. It meant trusting. And it meant life. It meant Kell Kreiger was no longer alone”

“Humans crave knowledge, and when that craving ends, we are no longer human.”

“He had no doubt that he knew who Ty was now, inside and out. He knew every one of Ty's quirks and weak spots and favorite things. He knew what Ty found funny and what annoyed him. He knew what would break his heart. He knew how to touch him to drive him wild, and when to back off when Ty was having a bad day. He knew that Ty was kind and loyal and funny, that he had a deep sense of honor and righteousness. He knew that Ty would die to save a stranger, and kill to save a friend. That was the type of man he was.”

“Your man Jesus seems to me a bit of a son of a bitch when it comes to women,´Roland said. ´Was He ever married?´The corners of Callahan's mouth quirked. ´No´ he said, ´but His girlfriend was a whore.´´Well,´ Roland said, ´that's a start.´”

“Trust, like the lubricant in an engine, is noticed only when it is gone and the motor has seized up.”
