Kindle Notes & Highlights
Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance. —Confucius
My mother was a Confucius woman when she needed some motivational words. My father was an Einstein man when everything was crashing down on him. Neither of the dead wise men are helping me out right now. Neither are my parents and all their words of wisdom. To be fair, they probably never would have condoned me stealing another girl’s identity, taking her inheritance, and using it to get some very disturbing revenge on all the men who scarred me for life.
The superior man is aware of righteousness; the inferior man is aware of advantage. —Confucius
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. —Confucius
It’s all cloak and dagger right now. That’s what happens when you’re a serial killer dating a FBI profiler who hunts serial killers.
To see and listen to the wicked is already the beginning of wickedness. —Confucius
There’s a certain high you get from fooling the world into thinking you’re the lamb instead of the rabid wolf.
A serial killer sharing a house with a homicide detective and a FBI agent. Life doesn’t get more complicated than this.
It’s sad that I want to hide my bodies now so that my boyfriend gets a break and can spend more time with me.
The superior man is modest in his speech, but exceeds in his actions. —Confucius
When anger rises, think of the consequences. —Confucius
Harsh. Oblivious. Arrogant. Three words I never thought I’d use to describe the man before me. Unfairly confining me to my house, while not giving me the same option of knowing he’s safe… I can’t even put into words how pissed off I am. “You don’t even take the time to fire off a text that you’re okay,” I go on, keeping my tone even, refusing to show too much emotion. I don’t bleed for the world anymore. He saw more than anyone else, and he didn’t bother to care when it mattered the most.
The cautious seldom err. —Confucius
Only the wisest and stupidest of men never change. —Confucius
Never contract friendship with a man who is not better than thyself. —Confucius
Virtue is not left to stand alone. He who practices it will have neighbors. —Confucius
Be not ashamed of mistakes and thus make them crimes. —Confucius
But they’re looking for a monster. Not a girl who loves red. Not a girl who is falling in love. Not a girl who died ten years ago.
I don’t look back at Donny as I let the other guy lead me out. He never says a word, and I don’t speak to him. He’s blushing fiercely, as though a little PDA shocked him and embarrassed the hell out of him. Awww. Such a sweet little guy.
