Sherrilyn Kenyon Quotes

Betrayals that make your soul scream so loud you wonder why no one else hears it. In the end, we are all alone in that private hell. But life isn't about learning to forgive those who have hurt you or forgetting the past. It's about learning to forgive yourself for being human and making mistakes. Yes, people disappoint us all the time. But the harshest lessons come when we disappoint ourselves. When we put our trust and our hearts into the hands of the wrong person and they do us wrong. And while we may hate them for what they did, the one we hate most is ourself for allowing them into our private circle. How could I have been so stupid? How could I let them deceive me?

Though we needs be fatting you up some to make you really good eats. Hmmm. Simi

You two continue.Xypher let out a low, evil growl as he hung his head down and shook it over her. I don't know about you, but that just killed my mood.

Writers,” Esther said simply. “For some reason, a lot of you reject what you hear and see in your heads. If you go too long ignoring it, it builds up and then you do all sorts of weird things.

Mostly because he knew firsthand that if love went untended it turned into profound hatred. --Tory and Acheron
