“Sometimes when we're in love, we take the facts and spin them into pretty stories. But it's a dangerous thing to do--because one day, like it or not, you're going to see the world as it really is. You find out people aren't always who you want them to be. And if you're not ready for the truth...well, let's just say it can come as a bit of a shock.”
Kirsten Miller, The Eternal Ones

“But there was still something missing. Something that nagged at her-an emptiness she couldn't explain.

Kirsten Miller, The Eternal Ones

“Don't expect me to be perfect. Despite all my lives, I'm still only human. I can't deliver perfection, and I'll only disappoint you. But I want you to know that you are the most important person to me. I'm trying to protect you.

Sometimes I screw things up. I may even tell a white lie every now and then. But you have to give me the benefit of the doubt.”
Kirsten Miller, The Eternal Ones

Kirsten Miller, The Eternal Ones
“El amor y la fe van de la mano. No se puede tener uno sin la otra. Y como todos sabemos, no siempre es seguro dar ese paso. A veces se juzga equivocadamente, y se acaba mordiendo el polvo. Pero a menos que demos ese paso, nunca sabremos qué hay del otro lado. Hay que buscar agallas para hacerlo.”
Kirsten Miller, The Eternal Ones
“You see, faith means listening to your heart, not just your heard. It's not about ignoring facts; it's about being willing to see around them sometimes.”
Kirsten Miller, The Eternal Ones
“The problems come when it's time to put our faith in things other than the Lord. There's no doubt that other people can be tricky. But once again, it's all about listening to your heart. That don't mean you should ignore what your head's telling you. But your heart will do a much better job of helping you figure out who's good and who ain't. Who deserves your faith, and who doesn't. If you judge solely by evidence, you could wind up making some big mistakes.”
Kirsten Miller, The Eternal Ones
“Love and faith go hand in hand. You can't have one without the other. And as we all know, taking the leap ain't always safe. Sometimes you judge poorly, and you land right on your face. But unless you make the jump, you'll never know what's on the other side. You just gotta find the guts to do it.”
Kirsten Miller, The Eternal Ones

-¿Cómo sabes que siempre he sido así?-preguntó Beau, molesto-. Tenemos media hora de conocernos.
-Tenemos al menos quinientos años de conocernos-lo corrigió Iain-. Tú eras hermano de ella cuando te conocí. En ese entonces también te llevó algo de tiempo aceptarme.”
Kirsten Miller, The Eternal Ones
“They may think they understand how God works, but if were were able to understand how God works, we wouldn't need faith, now would we?”
