"We were never lovers, and we never will be now. I do not regret the conversations we never had, the time we did not spend together. I regret that i never told him that he made me happy, when i was in his company. The world was better for his being in it. These things alone do i now regret: things left unsaid. And he is gone and I am old"
~ Lady Bast, The Wake, The Sandman Series
"It makes you vulnerable. It opens your chest and it opens your heart and it means someone can get you now and mess you up. You build up defenses. You build up this whole armor for years so nothing can hurt you.
Then one stupid person, no different from any other stupid person wanders into your stupid life. You give them a piece of you. They don't ask for it. They do something dumb one day like kiss you or smile at you and then your life isn't your own anymore.
Love takes hostage. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness."
~ Rose, The Kindly Ones, The Sandman Series
