"He had never understood the mathematics of his own destiny."

"The beauty of her suffering made her immortal."

"They were the heirs to a legacy of ghosts."

"The truth was written in the stars, but no one could read it."

"The rain would have ended everything if time had allowed it."

"They were prisoners of their own names."

"The house remembered more than the people who lived in it."

"Love was the only truth in a town of illusions."
