“Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil but then also do no evil.”
“The Omen is one of my favorites. Even though I'm an atheist now, I was brought up Catholic and can remember thinking that it could actually be real! The first Dawn of the Dead is a great one. We had a TV serial in Britain called Day of the Triffids and that was always really terrifying for me as well.”

“Most birds were created to fly.Â Being grounded for them is a limitation within their ability to fly, not the other way around. You, on the other hand, were created to be loved. So for you to live as if you were unloved is a limitation, not the other way around. Living unloved is like clipping a birdâ€™s wings and removing its ability to fly.Â Not something I want for you. Pain has a way of clipping our wings and keeping us from being able to fly.Â And if left unresolved for very long, you can almost forget that you were ever created to fly in the first place.”

They don't wanna do it, you can't make them do it, there's no way they'll do it - but once they do it, they don't let you alone.”
“Uh-uh" Clay drawled above me, "Elena's played with you long enough, Its my turn”
