“We call them survivors, but once the vampires get you, the person you were dies, like any traumatized part of you never leaves that room, that car, that moment, and you walk forward a ghost of your former self. You rebuild yourself over the years, but the person you were isn’t the person you become. The great bad thing happens, and you become a ghost in your own life, and then you become flesh and blood and remake your life, but the ghosts of what happened don’t go away completely. They wait for you in low moments, and then they wail at you, shaking their chains in your face and trying to strangle you with them.”
― Laurell K. Hamilton, Affliction

“The universe doesn’t give you what you ask for with your thoughts - it gives you what you demand with your actions.”

“Maybe who we are isn't so much about what we do, but rather what we're capable of when we least expect it.”
