“Animals are the bridge between us and the beauty of all that is natural. They show us what's missing in our lives, and how to love ourselves more completely and unconditionally. They connect us back to who we are, and to the purpose of why we're here.”

“...I regard cats as one of the great joys in the world. I see them as a gift of highest order.”

“We don't quesiton the Others.They rule Earth, maintain order, protect us from the Wilds, But the are not us. They are Other.”

“Everything is against us... But I have something they don't.A love that will stop at nothing to defend the true heir to Egypt and Rome.”

“Connection is why we're here; it is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives. The power that connection holds in our lives was confirmed when the main concern about connection emerged as the fear of disconnection; the fear that something we have done or failed to do, something about who we are or where we come from, has made us unlovable and unworthy of connection.”

“Wanting love is not selfish, Rain. We're all born missing the connections that make us complete.”

“My senses flood with feeling, so intense, and then I'm cradled in warmth. The heat stems from my hand and spreads through my body. I look down and lace my fingers through his. He strokes my jawline, lifting my face to meet his emerald eyes-clear and vibrant-like time never passed between us. "You're home," he says, his voice stirring all my love."You're my home.”
