“But when you started dating someone, you could never be sure what you were getting into. You had to give someone a chance to show you who he really was… and believe him when he did.”

“You fell in love with someone because of the tilt of his smile, or because he could make you laugh, or in this case, because he made you believe that you were the only one who could save him.”

“You could not tell a potential customer, expecting a learned and ancient magician, that you were not eve fully grown. Magnus had started lying about his age young, and had never dropped the habit.

“When someone shows you who they are believe them; the first time.”

“When you meet someone who is truly great, he makes you believe you can be great, too.”

“If you loved someone, you loved him, and when you had nothing else to give, you still gave him love.”

“When you counsel someone, you should appear to be reminding him of something he had forgotten, not of the light he was unable to see.”

“When someone shows you their true colors, believe them.”

“I don't really feel sexy when I do love scenes because when I kiss a girl or a guy I want to be the one to decide to do that. And if someone says "OK, kiss him!" and you are getting paid for it, what is your profession? I don't want to be a prostitute being told stuff like "Show us your boob!", you know. So for me it really is a very uncomfortable day whenever you shoot that stuff. And so what you really is someone that you trust and feel comfortable with and someone who you really think has your back as a friend.”

“It really hurts hard
when you realize
you are not as important
to someone
as you thought you were.”
