Jessie Burton quotes:

The bars on our cage are of our own making.

Pity, unlike hate, can be boxed and put away.

But words are water in Amsterdam, they flood your ears and set the rot, and the church's east corner is crowded.

Nothing here is more fabulous than the truth

When you have truly come to know a person, Nella -- when you see beneath the sweet gestures, the smiles -- when you see the rage and the pitiful fear which each of us hide -- then forgiveness is everything.

Every woman is the architect of her own fortune.

Love is best a phantom than reality, better in the chase than caught.

But how right is it to kill a man for something that is in his soul?
