"I don't feel like taking anybody's money."

--

Shelby Lynne

“The on and off thing is kind of annoying, isn't it? First with Cole, now with Gavin. "Maybe you need a tune up." I rolled my eyes. "I'll just pop into the supernatural ability repair shop sometime tomorrow." He grinned, his fingers tracing the line of my jaw.”
“Your requests change history because your prayers change God!”
“I clean this teapot with the kind of attention I would have were I giving the baby Buddha or Jesus a bath.”
“You know, I can get kind of spunky or I can get tough, you know, that kind of tough, sexy look. But sexy? No, I don't think so.”
“I love black-and-white movies that are about contemporary subjects.”
“Live and die in Aristotle's works.”
“Nothing glows brighter than the heart awakened to the unseen light of love that lives within it.”
“Sundays too my father got up early and put his clothes on in the blueblack cold, then with cracked hands that ached from labor in the weekday weather made banked fire blazes. No one ever thanked him.”
