I wonder how much the general population of this country know that the legal system has far more to do with playing a good hand of poker than it does with justice.

Until this moment, I had not realized that someone could break your heart twice, along the very same fault lines.

If you have a sister and she dies, do you stop saying you have one? Or are you always a sister, even when the other half of the equation is gone?

true love is felonious… You take someone’s breath away… You rob them of the ability to utter a single word… You steal a heart.
