You have a choice Georgia but I don't. I don't have a fucking choice, I never did. It's always been you. You destroyed me. I'm not the person I was before I met you and I can't go back. Nothing works anymore without you." ~Tristan”

“Fire shot through my body at his touch. The scent of his skin caused my brain to short circuit. I knew I was only feeling that way because I'd been missing Kyle.

I needed to remind myself not to mistake the pull I felt toward Tristan as anything other than my yearning for Kyle.”

Popular quotes

“three is the worst hour. it's too dark, too bright, too late, too early. It's when the questions come, droning like flies, nudging me one by one until my mind's full of them”
― A.J. Betts, quote from Zac and Mia

― Sherrilyn Kenyon, quote from Born of Fire

“I know she loves me. As crazy as it sounds, I do know that. As unlikely as it seems that anyone could still love what I've become, I don't doubt that love for a second.”
― quote from Elena Vanishing

“Before the prospect of an intelligence explosion, we humans are like small children playing with a bomb. Such is the mismatch between the power of our plaything and the immaturity of our conduct. Superintelligence is a challenge for which we are not ready now and will not be ready for a long time. We have little idea when the detonation will occur, though if we hold the device to our ear we can hear a faint ticking sound. For a child with an undetonated bomb in its hands, a sensible thing to do would be to put it down gently, quickly back out of the room, and contact the nearest adult. Yet what we have here is not one child but many, each with access to an independent trigger mechanism. The chances that we will all find the sense to put down the dangerous stuff seem almost negligible. Some little idiot is bound to press the ignite button just to see what happens.”
― Nick Bostrom, quote from Superintelligence: Paths, Dangers, Strategies

“Beware the goblin men and the wares they sell.”
― S. Jae-Jones, quote from Wintersong
