“A bride burns her bridges, having fallen in love, and drowns in marriage.”

“When he loved his bride it was not a queen he loved, but rather the girl as she might have been if she had not been destroyed in her childhood.”

“Love is love. I have never fallen in love with a gender. I have fallen for individuals.”

“A woman who had fallen out of love with her life”

“And the air was full of the smell of burning bridges.”

“One if the hardest things in life to learn are which bridges to cross and which bridges to burn.”

“Dancing with the wind: the fire burns, the water drowns.”

“She's had so little love, Jesse thought, I will drown her in it for the rest of her life.”

“No one but you and one ‘jade’ I have fallen in love with, to my ruin. But being in love doesn’t mean loving. You may be in love with a woman and yet hate her.”

“Those you love will not drown or burn. They will fly away.'…'Now we both have people we love who are like birds. They have flown far from anything in this world that can hurt them. They're flying away still.”
