"Fate never promises to tell you everything up front. You aren't always shown the path in life you're supposed to take. But if there was one thing she'd learned in the past few weeks, it was that sometimes, when you're really lucky, you meet someone with a map."

"I needed to stop being what everyone thought I was."

"You'd be surprised how easy some things can be, things you never thought you'd do, when you take self-respect out of the equation."

"Stability was overrated. Crises and adventures, on the other hand, could actually teach you something."

"If a man has so much heat he burns your skin when he touches you, he's the devil. Run away"
