“Before you can fall in love with someone, you have to actually know them, not just think you do.” ― Auryn Hadley, Power of Lies
“I need to love you now, just like you are, because I can't stop the future. If the worst happens, then I'll know I had the best days with you and that you got the best of me. I think that's all we can ever really be sure of, so that's what I'm trying to do.” ― Auryn Hadley, When We Were Crowned
“One day, you'll be ok with it. You'll wake up and realize that no one can make you change but you. That whispers only hurt if you listen to them. That the power they have is the power you give them.” ― Auryn Hadley, Magic of Lust
“That emotion," Treb said, his voice completely calm, "is called shame. It's made from things others have buried under your skin and poisoned your mind with.” ― Auryn Hadley, Magic of Lust
“Being a good man is about taking care of your responsibilities, not about who you fuck or how much you can lift.” ― Auryn Hadley, When We Were Dancing
“Women are taught that sex is love, but it's not. They have nothing to do with each other. Sex is just physical pleasure. Love enhances sex, but doesn't need it.” ― Auryn Hadley, Power of Lies
“There's a difference between expensive and comfortable. Often, the two are not the same.” ― Auryn Hadley, When We Were Dancing
“Real love starts as chemistry, builds into friendship, and blossoms into something so magical that it makes everything else feel worthwhile, even the bad parts.” ― Auryn Hadley, The Kiss of Death
“It's like being in love with the wind. I can't hold you, but I can always feel you. You carry me to places I've never seen, you make me feel things I just shouldn't feel.” ― Auryn Hadley, Challenge Accepted
“She let go, grabbing her cup for one more drink. "Good, because I don't care how big your dicks are. I'm the one in charge.” ― Auryn Hadley, When We Were Dancing
“Lust is something you want for you. Love is what happens when you want it for them. And when you want it for them more than your own safety? When you'd die for someone? Jade, that's the kind of love that stories are written about.” ― Auryn Hadley, Spell of Love
“If you're going to fail," Sal quoted softly, "then fail as big as you can. They'll forgive you for anything you do with gusto, and it won't even matter if they like you.” ― Auryn Hadley, Hope
“It's ok to want it. It's beautiful to be different. It takes strength and courage, and those are never things to be afraid of.” ― Auryn Hadley, Power of Lies
“The one thing that always makes me hard is a brain. I can fuck any pretty girl I want, but finding a pretty one that's not an idiot? Our society doesn't make them like that.” ― Auryn Hadley, Power of Lies
“We women are taught to be possessed. We're told to value ourselves based on the status of what's between our legs. Virgins are worth something, whores are not. Men are judged by what they can make, women by how few men have known them.” ― Auryn Hadley, Power of Lies
“Strength doesn't come from muscles and mass. It comes from the heart.” ― Auryn Hadley, When We Were Kings
“Sex isn't love, Xel. That means love isn't sex. Sure, they go together like wine and cheese, but doesn't mean wine is cheese.” ― Auryn Hadley, Magic of Lust
“The only difference between a friend and a lover? The lust. The only difference between a fuck and a lover? Compassion. Together?" She leaned as far as she could. "It's love, Xel. That's why we work. It's love, and I love you.” ― Auryn Hadley, Magic of Lust
