Quotes by Alexandra Adornetto

How can the strength of one man stand against Jake and an army of demons?He can, I countered, if he has the power of Heaven on his side. After all, Christ was a man.He was also the Son of God, there's a difference.Do you think they could have crucified him if he wasn't human? I asked. He was flesh and blood, just like Xavier. You've been here so long you underestimate the power of humans. They're a force of nature.

One of the most frustrating words in the human language, as far as I could tell, was love.So much meaning attached to this one little word. People bandied it about freely, using it todescribe their attachments to possessions, pets, vacation destinations, and favorite foods. In thesame breath they then applied this word to the person they considered most important in theirlives. Wasn't that insulting? Shouldn't there be some other term to describe deeper emotion?
