Quotes by Jen Waite (?)

“when you come out on the other side of this, the amount of power you walk away with is going to blow your fucking mind.”

“Some sociopathic individuals absolutely know that they suffer from a personality disorder and use it to their advantage. Marco sounds like he lacks empathy and an inner moral compass but that he truly justifies his actions to himself. That’s to say, it sounds like he believes his own lies.”
― Jen Waite, A Beautiful, Terrible Thing: A Memoir of Marriage and Betrayal
