Quotes by Gytha Lodge (?)

“Jason had never known why he gave off such a strong aura of ‘tell me your problems’.”
― Gytha Lodge, Lie Beside Me

“„Niekada gyvenime neleisk sau norėti būti kur nors kitur. Niekada. Kad ir ką darytum, visa priimk. Paskęsti savam pasaulyje ir mintyse kartais svarbu, bet gyvenimas kitoks. Turi patirti tikrą gyvenimą. Turi visa tai išgyventi ir leistis įtraukiama. O tai reiškia priimti sprendimą. Apsispręsti mėgautis akimirka.”
― Gytha Lodge, She Lies in Wait

“Somehow people found him approachable whenever he didn’t actively give them fuck-off vibes. And sometimes even then.”
