“The owl,” he was saying, “is one of the most curious creatures. A bird that stays awake when the rest of the world sleeps. They can see in the dark.

Arousal starts in the mind. And grows in the mind. The brain is the most erogenous zone in a woman’s body. That is our secret. And it is what we share.” ― M.J. Rose, Fifty Writers on Fifty Shades of Grey
“Perfume is magic. It’s mystery. We recreate the smell of a flower. Of wood. Of grass. We capture the essence of life. Liquefy it. We store memories. We make dreams,” he told her once. “What we do is a wonder, an art, and we have a responsibility to do it well.” ― M.J. Rose, Seduction
“"As Oedipus learned, the more you run away from what is predetermined the more you run toward it.” ― M.J. Rose, The Reincarnationist
“The secret, which is not so secret after all, is that the people who we love live on in our hearts, in the beat of our blood.” ― M.J. Rose, The Collector of Dying Breaths

Lawless, Refracted Crystal: Diamonds and Desire
“The business of living can steal away the wonder of life.” ― M.J. Rose, Tiffany Blues
“The one thing I am now sure of is that if there is such a thing as destiny, it is a result of our passion, be that for money, power, or love. Passion, for better or worse. It can keep a soul alive even if all that survives is a shimmering. I've even seen it. I've been bathed in it. I've been changed by it.” ― M.J. Rose, The Witch of Painted Sorrows
“We're all broken in one way or another, but it's through the cracks in our souls that the light comes through. And the light, Jenny, that's our art. Now, paint. Paint as if your life depends on it.” ― M.J. Rose, Tiffany Blues
