“Bodies are extremely temporary and they’re the least interesting things about us. They carry us around while we’re on this earth and there’s nothing more I can ask from my body than that. I certainly wouldn’t spend any time worrying about the size or shape of anyone else’s body. Not when I could care about their heart and their mind instead.”

“If I had known I’d have a hot architect balls deep inside of me before the end of the weekend, I’d have made time for a pedicure.” ― Kate Canterbary, Underneath It All
“Shannon…you’ve always been mine.” “Are you sure I’m not too much for you?” “How could you ever be too much for me when I can’t get enough of you?” he said.” ― Kate Canterbary, The Cornerstone
“I am going to marry you so hard you won’t remember your maiden name. I’m going to love you and protect you, and I’m going to put up with your brothers and the violent citrus-throwing, too. You better get used to it because I’m here to stay.” ― Kate Canterbary, The Cornerstone

“Carrying bags full of books is my cardio.” ― Kate Canterbary, In a Jam
“And though I probably couldn’t spell my own name, I knew with absolute certainty this wasn’t straight-up p-in-the-v sex. This was a spiritual event, and I, for one, wouldn’t have been surprised if some druids started chanting behind us.” ― Kate Canterbary, Underneath It All
“There’s a ton of shit I can handle,” she said, “and I’d still love if someone stepped in front of it for me.” ― Kate Canterbary, In a Jam
“Inside five days, she became my left hand, and she loved it. It was a good thing she had no idea what I was doing with my left hand when she wasn’t around.” ― Kate Canterbary, The Space Between
“I felt like I’d been waiting a very long time for someone who knew how to shatter me and also wanted to pick up all the pieces. And I felt an unpleasant sense of relief in discovering that person was my husband.” ― Kate Canterbary, In a Jam
“I didn’t care that she’d leave again and I’d never recover. I didn’t care because I knew what it felt like to hold her and kiss her and nothing else in the world mattered. Nothing fucking mattered.” ― Kate Canterbary, In a Jam
“Good little girls who grew up into people-pleasing women didn't get that way through any innate altruism or feminine urge to keep the peace. We got there because we learned, at some point, that our needs were a problem best kept to ourselves. We were most worthy when our existence didn't bother anyone.” ― Kate Canterbary, The Worst Guy
“The way you're looking at me right now," he said, his voice turning thick, his words plucked one by one. "It tells me you have no idea that I'm lost to you, that I'm in love with you, that I can't fucking breathe without you.” ― Kate Canterbary, Underneath It All
“You should never sit around waiting for life to start because it’s leaving you with every second.”“You should explore the world,” I said, tears springing to my eyes for no rational reason. “Do dangerous thing. Ignore the fuck out of conventional wisdom. Walk on fire. Treat everyone with kindness because people are the only things worth holding on to. Live without regrets because there is no time for that shit. Never forget the way home, and leave a trail of breadcrumbs if you have to. Love, and get your heart broken, and say fuck it, and love again and then again.” ― Kate Canterbary, The Spire

Those other fuckers are not, and God help them if they upset you again.” ― Kate Canterbary, The Cornerstone
“Shannon…” he sighed, his head resting on my thighs. “I want you. For a long time. A long fucking time. If you don’t, I need you to lie to me, because there’s a real possibility that I’ll cry right now if you say no.” ― Kate Canterbary, The Cornerstone
“Fear is a choice,” I said. “Danger is real, but you decide whether or not you allow fear into your mind.” ― Kate Canterbary, The Cornerstone
