Mister Diamond Quotes

“Without his firm guidance, I wouldn’t be the man I was, the tycoon I’d turned out to be. Without his faults, I wouldn’t have the family I cherished more than air itself. He’d sent me in search of one diamond, and I’d come out with another, the brightest and shiniest of them all. My Diamond.”
― Chance Carter, Mister Diamond

“I’m sorry, Gemma,” Mom said quietly. “I’m sorry I couldn’t be the person you needed me to be. I’m sorry I couldn’t be the person I needed me to be. I’ve got so many regrets, I’ve missed so many opportunities. I would take it all back if I could.” “You can’t,” I said. “And you know what? If you could we might not be here. We could be somewhere much worse. I’ve learned a lot in the past couple of years, and one of the most important lessons is that the only thing you can focus on is the future. Lamenting the past only holds you back.”

― Chance Carter, Mister Diamond

“I could tell how much she felt it too—could taste her desperation, desire, hear it in the way she panted desperately in my ear as I kissed down her neck. It felt strange to miss somebody so much when you still had so much to learn about them, but there was nothing strange about our reunion.”
― Chance Carter, Mister Diamond

“I did it. I’d just faced down one of the monsters hiding at the back of my closet. And I won. There’s no way to describe how that felt. It was like I’d been living in the chilly shadow of my past for the past two years and now all of the sudden a chink of light was slicing across my face, warm and wonderful.”
