Quote by Clive Barker

“As long as they could still be moved by a minor chord, or brought to a crisis of tears by scenes of lovers reunited; as long as there was room in their cautious hearts for games of chance, and laughter in the face of God, that must surely be enough to save them, at the last. If not, there was no hope for any living thing.”

"Of course you do, sweetie-pie." "So lemon is nice, too." "I believe so, but some people don't like the taste. It's too sour, they say." She looked back at her father and said with a tone that suggested what other people thought about lemon was crazy. "Then add sugar. No need to blame the lemon.”

“情感世界中,沒有真正的強者。因為在愛著的時候,你永遠不會設防。不論男人女人,都會自動徹底敞開心扉,自動撤掉所有的防衛體系。所以一經打擊,便會受到嚴重的內傷。男人尚有可以逃避的地方,他的內心、他的事業,他的朋友;而女人的背水一戰,往往連逃避的地方也沒有,她的內心被攪碎,她的事業就是愛情的決戰、她的朋友..都結婚去了。如此,受傷的女性自然比男性更嚴重,而且比例也更大得多。因為女人的對手不光是男人,而恰恰主要是 ─ 她以為是 ─ 她們的同類。男人是女人的情郎,而女人則是女人的情敵。”
