Quotes by Linda Barlow (?)

“I'm not having sex with you. Not willingly. If you starve me, strangle me, whip me or tie me to the bed, it'll be rape, which you said you wouldn't do. I draw the line at fucking a psycho kidnapping dickwad who makes me strip, kneel, crawl and call him Master.”
― Linda Barlow, Uncover Me

“Some things should stay mysteries,” said Metzli. “The moon would not be the same moon, if one side did not remain in the dark.”

“friends, and, of course,"—he glanced toward their sleeping daughter—"the love of a father and mother for their child. All these taken together, with all the joy and pain that they confer—that can save us, surely. Love of life, Alix. You have it. And since I've found you, so do I.”
― Linda Barlow, Fires of Destiny
