Ilona Andrews Quotes : pic 000116260
When I'm with him, I can feel myself getting better. It's like he's picking up broken pieces of me and putting me back together, and I don't even know he's doing it. We never talk about it. We don't go to therapy. He just loves me and that's enough. -- Ilona Andrews
Ilona Andrews Quotes : pic 000116776
Where to now?" I asked.

Ilona Andrews Quotes : pic 000148562
Derek, if a boy wanted to take away a girl's power by having sex with her, what would you think about it?"

Ilona Andrews Quotes : pic 000163091
Clothes don't have magic powers, Derek. They don't mystically protect you from three-inch claws, rapists, or murderers. If someone decides to hurt you, they will do so whether or not you have a thin layer of denim over your skin. -- Ilona Andrews
Ilona Andrews Quotes : pic 000164757

Her philosophy was, if it had a pulse, it could be killed. I didn't really have a philosophy, but I could see how talking with the school director would be difficult for her.

Peope, especially unhappy people, want a cause. They want something to belong to, to be a part of something great and bigger, and to be led. It's easy to be a cog in a machine: you don't have to think, you have no responsibility. You're just following orders, doing as you're told. -- Ilona Andrews
