“Just because a person is obsessed with the idea of something, doesn't make it right or even good for them.” ― Elle Casey, Shine Not Burn
“Come on, wife. Come take a little ride with me. Let me show you all the things you'll be missing when you go back East and leave me here with a broken heart.” ― Elle Casey, Shine Not Burn
“Luceo non uro means I shine, not burn. To me, though, it means that I have a choice. I need to balance the bad with the good, make sure to avoid the things that could burn or scar me but get close enough to the heat that I feel life and really experience it. Until I met you, I'd never really embraced that idea. I walked around my life just being there, but not really feeling it or being actively involved in making it worthwhile. Then there was you, and suddenly it all made sense. I grabbed onto what Fortune was offering me that night and ran with it. I was shining that night, for sure. Brighter than the Vegas strip.” ― Elle Casey, Shine Not Burn
“What are you looking at?""A beautiful woman who makes me think I can fly.” ― Elle Casey, Shine Not Burn

“You might think you're a grown man, but I have absolutely no problem getting my spatula out and serving you up a helping of bare butt flap jacks, you hear me?” ― Elle Casey, Shine Not Burn
“You'd give up all this for me?""Sure. In a heartbeat.""I couldn't let you do that.""The hell you couldn't. I'd go live in a trailer park in the middle of the Mississippi swamps if it meant I could be with you and give this a shot.” ― Elle Casey, Shine Not Burn
“The question is not whether I'm sure, but whether you are. Because I know exactly what I want, and I'm not the kind of guy who's afraid to go after it once I see it.” ― Elle Casey, Shine Not Burn
“It was the best night of my life and not just because you kept calling me King Dong.” ― Elle Casey, Shine Not Burn
“With every thrust he gave me his response. “You. Are. My. Wife.” ― Elle Casey, Shine Not Burn
“Sometimes, we just have to go where the wind takes us and see where we end up.” ― Elle Casey, Shine Not Burn
“With that realization came the understanding that sometimes you can't appreciate the true beauty of a thing until you experience it for yourself; no amount of words or pictures will do the trick. And no amount of planning could make it happen. Sometimes, we just have to go where the wind takes us and see where we end up.” ― Elle Casey, Shine Not Burn
“Scars are your body's way of healing, making that damaged part stronger than it ever was before the pain.” ― Elle Casey, Don't Make Me Beautiful
“It means that if I want to get lucky with you, I should just take the risk and tell you what's on my mind, because failing would be worse than never trying.” ― Elle Casey, Shine Not Burn
“We share shit. We're soulmates. We don't keep secrets.” ― Elle Casey, After the Fall
“I’m engaged” …“No, you’re not,” he growled into my neck. “You’re married. To me. We came first, not him.” ― Elle Casey, Shine Not Burn
“Denial does not change reality for everyone else. Only for the one denying and those who are foolish enough to believe the fantasy.” ― Elle Casey
“I really liked this cowboy. Mack. But I didn't know a single thing about him other than the fact that he doesn't wear underwear and he's got a big cock-a-doodle doo that he definitely knows how to use. Yee haw.” ― Elle Casey, Shine Not Burn
