“Information is useless if you cannot tell if it is true or false,”

“I knew I would win because I promised Sasha I would,” he said. “And I’ve never failed her yet.”
There’s a difference between someone insulting you with lies, and someone peeling back the cover over an ugly truth. One is much more unpleasant than the other.
Dean seizes me by the back of the neck and kisses me hard. I taste the blood on his lip, like salt and iron.
“We don’t have to fight, little kitten,” he says. His voice is smoother than melted butter. “If you’re an obedient pet, I could be a very kind master . . .”
We can never really see ourselves except reflected in other people’s eyes.

I don’t care if you’re filthy or soaked in bleach or set on fucking fire! Why can’t you understand I love you! Without limit or reason.”
“Cat,” I say. “You don’t know what a monster I can be, but I’ll be your monster. Everything I do will be for you. To protect you. To help you. To love you every day of my life. I’ll burn this whole fucking world down for you if that’s what you want.”
