"They didn't ask for it. They did something dumb one day, like kiss you or smile at you, and then your life isn't your own anymore. Love takes hostages. It gets inside you. It eats you out and leaves you crying in the darkness so simple a phrase like 'maybe we should just be friends,' turns into a glass splinter working its way into your heart. It hurts. Not just in the imagination. Not just in the mind. It's a soul-hurt, a real gets-inside-you-and-rips-you-apart pain. I hate love."
- Neil Gaiman, The Sandman, Vol 9: The Kindly Ones
"If she flinches when you go to put your arm around her.. someone else's hand wasn't so sweet. If she questions you.. someone has lied to her. If she doesn't tell you things.. someone else once betrayed her secrets.. behind every cranky, complicated girl or girl who is scared to love is.. a girl who is tired of being broken." - Unknown
