Quote from Mia Asher, Easy Virtue
After that day, I discovered one indelible truth. I discovered that love wasn’t everything that mattered in life. It was an emotion that not many had the luxury of feeling without any pain attached to it. Many say that love will set you free, but I disagree. Love is a cage, a very painful one; its gilded bars made with yearning, heartache, and unfulfilled dreams. And the moment I realized that love wasn’t necessary to one’s survival I became free. No one would have the power to hurt me again.

Dante laughed. “No cold soup, no goat cheese. I’ll make a mental note. And no Gottfried Curse.””And for you it’s no food at all. No sleep. And no tunnels.””I’m low maintenance.””Is that what you are?

Quote from Tara Leigh Cobble, Orange Jumpsuit: Letters to the God of Freedom
The distance between your knowledge of truth and your obedience is called lack of integrity. And the amount of negative behavior–or lack of integrity–a person exhibits is directly proportional to their amount of pain.” – Tara Leigh’s therapist (p.118)
