Anyone in this world can have the power of life and death over someone else. It's horrible, but true. All you need to do is take it. And once you have -- there is no going back. (The Killer's Cousin)

Was true love when you wanted to slap someone and kiss him madly at the same time?

There is nothing in this world that I want or need, but you.

It is absolutely okay with me if you need to keep some secrets. I've been thinking about this and I decided that a best friend is someone who, when they don't understand, they still understand.

Always remember: In the end, the surviver gets to tell the story.

But just now, he'd gotten on his knees and proposed marriage, like in a television commercial for a diamond ring. Except of course they had the roll of duct tape instead, which, when you came to think about it, was a far more practical item.

Nothing that had happened in the past could be taken away. This was an amazing gift. The past was done and over and settled you couldn't get it back, but still, whatever good you had gotten from it, spiritually, emotionally, would be yours for your lifetime.

I think you have a right to whine. Honestly, Lucy. We all have the right to whine when life gets tough.

Sometimes the people who mean you harm, are the ones that say they love you.

Music links us humans, heart to heart...Across time and space, and life and death.

You can be special without being extraordinary.

Besides, Southerners are hospitable. They'll probably offer me lemonade. Excuse me? You're going to sit on a porch and drink lemonade while I plow a swamp with a goat's horn? Yes, ma'am. And I aim to wear my seamless shirt while you do it.
