Quotes to Remember:
Oh, wonderful. Satan has decided to claw his way out of Hell and join us. I had no idea he did subpar tricks, though.
We women could be called creatures, if only the men who said such careless words accepted our claws were fearsome things when we decided to scratch.
Most stories are too good to be true. That's what makes them enchanting.
Some risks are worth taking, even if they seem impossible at first.
Sometimes we choose not to see things we know are true, simply because we wish to keep the fantasy of what could have been alive.
People often admire physical strength, but I believe it's the simple things one does after a tragedy that defines them. There is no greater show of power than continuing to live when you'd like nothing more than to lie down and let the world fade.
Hope is the true magic - its the spark and draw.
Magic is science. It’s simply a fancier term for showing people the impossible is attainable.
