Quotes by Karen Marie Moning

One day you will kiss a man you cant breathe without, and find that breath is of little consequence.

Dying is overrated. Human sentimentality has twisted it into the ultimate act of love. Biggest load of bullshit in the world. Dying for someone isnt the hard thing. The man that dies escapes.

I couldn’t breathe with him kissing me.”One day you may kiss a man you can’t breathe without, and find breath is of little consequence.”Right, and one day my prince might come.”I doubt he’ll be a prince, Ms. Lane. Men rarely are.

Words can be twisted into any shape. Promises can be made to lull the heart and seduce the soul. In the final analysis, words mean nothing. They are labels we give things in an effort to wrap our puny little brains around their underlying natures, when ninety-nine percent of the time the totality of the reality is an entirely different beast. The wisest man is the silent one. Examine his actions. Judge him by them.

Its often only in the lies we refuse to speak that any truth can be heard at all.

Hes my sun, moon, and stars. It took letting the other person in; a thing Id stopped doing. It took being unafraid to ask for what you wanted, to put yourself on the line, to risk it all for love.
