The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough of is love.
---Henry Miller
There is nothing I would not do for those who are really my friends. I have no notion of loving people by halves, it is not my nature.
---Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey
When we love, we always strive to become better than we are. When we strive to become better than we are, everything around us becomes better too.
---Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist
If I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not live in vain.
---Emily Dickinson
| Zach | What would I do without your smart mouth? |
| Skylar | To make you feel my love... “Life damages us, every one. We can’t escape that damage. But now, I am also learning this: We can be mended. We mend each other.” |
| Anthony | I didn't know how much I needed exactly this friend, in this time and place... and now I'm nothing but a disappointment to him. I can't make amends for all that I've done wrong. I can only hope that I haven't ruined this beyond recognition. |
| Derek | A gift from Gaia. Though I wonder if it can possibly be healthy to live in such a prison of self-control and courtesy. It just makes me wonder what hell the boy's been through, that taught him to be so very polite and careful and contained... and what scars lie under the smooth surface. The last thing I want to do is cause more, but I need allies. Especially among the loup-Garou, and especially now. |
| Riley | A bright-burning kindred spirit, which is the last thing I would have expected to find in one of the Chorus... And a generous soul. Her light is sorely needed in this time and place. |
| The kid | So young, to be that scarred. I never thought I had mothering urges, but between Jack and Shadi, they're awake and alive now. If only I could keep them out of danger. But there's no sheltering a warrior, even if he's ridiculously young to be fighting this war. I just wish I could offer healing for that wounded spirit. In the meantime, I'll offer whatever I can. |
| Aster | I guess the secret to being so happy in such a fucked-up world is... believing that it's all a game. Maybe that apartment of hers is my Second Life... I'm free of so many burdens when I'm with her. |
| Jae | What made that need? Who ignited the fire? And how can I help you to heal? |
| Shadi | Hijabi hurricane, child prodigy, and I seriously think I'm going grey. This must be some of what it's like to have kids. Although I don't think I was that insane as a teenager. Maybe we can get her parents to hire a bodyguard... |
| Sera | I hope she's enough of a leader to keep them together. I think so. And at least I don't want to jump her. |
| Sandra | ( I think of that song "Brick House" whenever I see her... even though I'm pretty sure she never lets it all hang out.) Having a righteous fullmoon around is another gift from the Mother, albeit a dangerous one. She'll be a valuable asset and field leader for the loup-garou. The whole despising me thing is painful and unfortunate... but it was bound to happen eventually. |
| Amane | I think it's good to have her as a friend. She's... kind and generous, and beautiful... and now I'm terrified. Precisely because she is all those things, and she's just so much more together and competent than I am. |
| Hikaru | I'm unnerved by strangers bearing wagons of gold. It's a bit like that thing with Aragorn in the inn at Bree... she looks fair, and I'm having a hard time trusting that even though as far as I can tell, she's ...genuinely that nice. Maybe I'm biased against wealth? |
| Rei | To be watched. An android with an awakened soul? She's just... unnerving. |
| Kaminari | I have to remember to be compassionate, to think of her as someone who's probably as damaged as the rest of us. And possibly insecure, which would explain her need to be recognized and important and in charge. |
| Victor | "If you gave someone your heart and they died, did they take it with them? Did you spend the rest of forever with a hole inside you that couldn't be filled?" <center>---Jodi Picoult, Nineteen Minutes |
