    “Words! What power they hold. Once they have rooted in your psyche, it is difficult to escape them. Words can shape the future of a child and destroy the existence of an adult.
    Words are powerful. Be careful how you use them because once you have pronounced them, you cannot remove the scar they leave behind.”

    “Don’t turn your face away.
    Once you’ve seen, you can no longer act like you don’t know.
    Open your eyes to the truth. It’s all around you.
    Don’t deny what the eyes to your soul have revealed to you.

    Now that you know, you cannot feign ignorance.
    Now that you’re aware of the problem, you cannot pretend you don’t care.
    To be concerned is to be human.
    To act is to care.”

    “We get a lot of calls where the person is murdered at home, but is not found for a period of time. And so the animals have already started to take the body apart because they haven't been fed in that period. So your evidence is being chewed up by the family pet.

    I tell you - Dogs are more loyal than cats. Cats will wait only a certain period of time and they'll start chewing on you. Dogs will wait a day or two before they just can't take the starving anymore. So, keep that in mind when choosing a pet.

    You know how a cat just stares at you, maybe at the top of the TV, from across the room? That's because they're watching to see if you're gonna stop breathing.”

    “we write every day, we fight every day, we think and scheme and dream a little dream every day. manuscripts pile up in the kitchen sink, run-on sentences dangle around our necks. we plant purple prose in our gardens and snip the adverbs only to thread them in our hair. we write with no guarantees, no certainties, no promises of what might come and we do it anyway. this is who we are.”
