“When life brings you full circle, pay attention. There's a lesson there.”
― Mandy Hale, The Single Woman–Life, Love, and a Dash of Sass: Embracing Singleness with Confidence

“Qhuinn looked at each of the hoods again. How ironic, he thought. Nearly two years ago, an Honor Guard of black robes had been sent to him to make sure he knew his family didn't want him. And now, here these males were, come to draw him into a different kind of fold-- that was every bit as strong as that of blood.”
― J.R. Ward, Lover at Last

“But back then, back on Lispenard Street, I didn't know so much of this. Then, we were only standing and looking up at that red-brick building, and I was pretending that I never had to fear for him, and he was letting me pretend this: that all the dangerous things he could have done, all the ways he could have broken my heart, were in the past, the stuff of stories, that the time that lay behind us was scary, but the time that lay ahead of us was not.”
― Hanya Yanagihara, A Little Life

“If I could take away his painâ€� If there was a way to transfer it from his soul onto mine. I would take it. Without hesitation I would take it all. Maybe that’s how you know you love someone. When you actually feel each tear they cry as if they were your own. When you feel each cut, each bruise, each hit as if you’re the one suffering. I bled for him.& in turn, he bled for her.Funny, how life comes full circle”
― Rachel Van Dyken, Toxic

“...not even bones, only ashes remained when Nita rose. Not even her mother could put herself back together after being blown to literal smithereens.”
― Rebecca Schaeffer, When Villains Rise

“I told myself that once I was done ripping the seagull's head off, I would turn around and give a speech so saccharine that even Eddie wouldn't be able to console them when I was finished. I would destroy them, and they would drown in an ocean of their tears.

But first the seagull.”
― T.J. Klune, Who We Are

“But the universe in its immensity is nevertheless of a piece, and what applies at one end of it applies at the other. No doubt misery, like happiness and hope, is found throughout the stars.”
― Dean Koontz, Odd Interlude

“After the Flood(1957) â€� with a boat made from a sheet of newspaper floating down a gutter swollen with rainâ€� A small boy in a yellow slicker and red galoshes ran cheerfully along beside the newspaper boat…the boy in the yellow slicker was George Denbroughâ€�. After the Flood(1985) A kid in a red rain slicker and green rubber boots was sailing a paper boat along the brisk run of water in the gutter.”
― Stephen King, It

“She was still starving.”

“That necklace," he said.
Polly looked down to where her silver cat was hanging on the long chain. It needed a polish, she realized. She told him the story about the Victorian rattle, but when she'd finished he said, "I meant the little bird. Where did you find it?"
Polly smiled. "Actually," she said, "I really did find it. Today, just before I met Kurt. I spotted it on the ground while I was walking. The sunlight caught on a piece of silver ribbon that must once have been tied to it and drew my eye."
He was nodding. "Near the water hole?"
She wondered how he knew, and then realized that of course Kurt must have told him where they'd met. "I like to collect things from nature. I'm always on the lookout. It's a hobby; my daughter and I used to beachcomb when she was small... I thought it was a stone at first, or a smooth seedpod. But it wasn't. It was this most perfect little bird. A wren, I think."
"A fairy wren. We have a lot of them around here."
"A fairy wren," said Polly, liking the name very much. "There was something almost magical about it. It was just lying there, as if it had been waiting for me to find it. I suppose that sounds silly."
"Not at all."
"I can be a bit of a romantic."
"A fine trait. We'd have no books or music or paintings if not for the romantics among us.”
― Kate Morton, Homecoming

“Death catches everyone eventually, and I had never harbored any illusions about its ability to catch me. That it had hesitated so long to do so seemed born more of a desire to mock me than of any real inclination to wait. Death had tired of that game, and had finally moved in to collect what we all owe.”
― Barry Eisler, Winner Take All

“It is 23.32 p.m. I still believe in symmetry, so this will be the last part. You've reached an end if you come back to where you started. I also remain superstitious about certain numbers. I use 23 and 32 for my lottery tickets, for example. It extends to dates. I still see signs.”
― Olivia Sudjic, Sympathy

“I found her shyness to be endearing, a kitten too weak and new to walk on its own, and I vowed to protect her for as long as she’d let me. - Wes -”
