• Added a quotation: “I loved him in a way that was over. A way that was the beginning of something. The sort of love that opened you up for more. ♥”
• Added a quotation: “This was what it was. The ruin of it. The depth of it. Have it once and you can't have it again. That's the riddle. That's the truth.”
• Added a quotation: “Ned: What do you know? | Nina: I know I love you. ♥”

• Added a quotation: “It was a cool night, but these oranges kept in heat. Little globes burning sunlight. We carried the basket together. For this one night, in love, in love. Everything meant something to us. Black sky, black trees, red oranges, sweet smell of the earth, the heat when he whispered to me, the sound of our feet on the dirt paths, the sprinkler system switching on, water falling.♥”
• Added a quotation: “We took off our clothes in the orchard and went under the sprinklers. In the night air, under water, we could embrace each other any way we wanted to. There was no one for miles around. No one else at all. I loved the way he felt, so real, so here, so now. I loved his muscles under his skin, the heat from his body, the way his kisses burned. I loved the way it hurt, the way it made me know I was alive, now and in the ever after, seeing red, wanting to go down on my hands and knees, not caring if there was another person in the universe. No wonder people did this however and with whomever; with strangers, in parking lots, desperate, greedy; joined together, you can imagine you're not alone, the only one. So different, because when you are in love, that's the joke: you feel your aloneness so deeply it hurts. When I'm not with you. ♥”
• Added a quotation: “We were a human example of chaos theory, thrown together by circumstance. We didn't belong together, I knew that. But for one night we were perfect. ♥”
• Added a quotation: “Without you I would have been completely alone. ♥”Lazarus Jones

Arra edited the memorable quotes of The Ice Queen Thursday, June 2, 2011.

• Added a quotation: “Sun and moon, brother and sister, the guardian and the guarded, opposites who gave each other form, guided each other until they stumbled home.”
• Added a quotation: “Even a minute less time of him in my world would be too hard. </3”
• Added a quotation: “Feel lucky for what you have when you have it. Isn't that the point? Happily ever after doesn't mean happy forever. The ever after, what precisely was that? Your dreams, your life, your death, your everything. Was it the blank space that went on without us? The forever after we were gone? </3”
• Added a quotation: “So now. So here. So him. The heat, the black night, the stars, the moment, the ever after inside of us. ♥”

• Added a quotation: “Don't you get it? You don't hide what you think is beautiful. You hide what's broken. You hide when you're a monster. </3”Renny Mills
• Added a quotation: “How many women in how many stories had done this before? Mistrusted a lover, longed for an answer to a question that was not yet fully formed. If a secret was only unrealized knowledge, as my brother had said, what harm could it do? How dangerous could a tiny shred of truth be? It had no thorns, no talons, no teeth nor tail nor sting. Truth, sleeping on the other side of what I knew. Of course, there were a hundred versions of the same story: a woman who has to learn what she already knows, somehow, somewhere inside.”
• Added a quotation: “I thought perhaps I'd discovered the difference between love and obsession. Only one of them puts you in jeopardy.”
• Added a quotation: “And then I realized what love did. It changed your whole world. Even when you didn't want to.”

• Added a quotation: “Fairy tales are riddles, and people are riddles, too. Figure one out and he’s yours forever, whether he likes it or not.”
• Added a quotation: “I was shaking, still wet, so he put his arms around me. I could feel the heat through his clothes. I could hear his heart beating, the strong heart that had defied death, that had stopped and come back to life. Nothing could have made me want him more. ♥”
• Added a quotation: “It didn't make sense, and it didn't have to. t was as though I had one map inside my head and it led to the man who was waiting for me. ♥”
• Added a quotation: “He had a beautiful smile, one that made me want him even more. ♥”
