Quote by Christine Evangelou

“Breaking: Keep breaking, For this is where living truly lies, In all those dark places, That held those lost and weary cries, Because it's through all the breaking where your roots of strength are found, Through all the mending, Light gives way, and you smash fresh ground. Darling, let it break so you can let it go, And you'll find the surge of healing power through the fiery skin of your soul.”

How can lovers so profound end in such shock and dismay, Ripped from each other, Just as love felt she'd found the one to stay, How?”

“I had abandoned everything frivolously doing this that and nothing until you broke through with your perfume of promise saying 'Give me your chaos' undressing my soul with your ferocious beauty and tulip-soft skin making me uncivilised making me overcome myself You drink the darkness within darkness and are not ruined by it This intoxicating uncertainty forces me to delay ‘forever’ —your body is now my home”

“Harold—please—" She was sick, crying. The irrevocable fact of murder was in her heart forever. "Get used to it," Harold said brutally. He flung the tent on the back of his cycle and began to tie it down. "It's over for them down there, and it's over for us, and it's over for everybody that died in the plague. God went off on a celestial fishing trip and He's going to be gone a long time. It's totally dark. The dark man's in the driver's seat now. Him. So get used to it." She made a squeaking, moaning noise in her throat. "Help me get this shit packed up. I want to do a hundred miles before sunup.”
