'Pain isn't remotely kind in that way. Pain wants its promised pound of flesh, ounce for ounce. It won't settle until you're left with nothing but a flaky shell of who you were.

Gerald could never have loved you the way I do." "Why do you lie to me? Do you just do that so you can make sure I stay and don't leave? You don't own me Colson." "Shhhh my cupcake."
