Paint It All Red (Mindf*ck, #5)

by S.T. Abby

Love is not supposed to be beautiful. It’s supposed to be a raw, gritty struggle that forces you to face the most vulnerable parts of yourself, so that when the good times come, you can savor and enjoy them, fully appreciate what they’re worth. Otherwise, you take it all for granted.

“I love him enough to burn the world to the ground in his name.”

For her own sake, make her less naïve, Dev. It’s a cruel world to those who don’t believe such evils exist.

I just loved you enough to take your anger,

One person cannot change the world. But one person can strike terror into multitudes. —Robert Evans

Any demon is capable of cruelty, but only an angel is majestic enough to rain down vengeance for the innocent.

A wise man knows when the war is lost, and will understand retreat is the only way to save lives. A foolish man will condemn all his followers to death because of his pride.

If hatred didn’t exist, love wouldn’t either, for one is formed by the other.

Never mock or harm the passionate, for they are the fiercest with their wrath.

I should like to lie at your feet and die in your arms. —Voltaire

“You showed me what living was like again. I’d forgotten,”

Wherever you go, go with all your heart. —Confucius

“I decided if I could choose anywhere in the world to be, it’d be wherever you were,”

Life is pretty damn good when you take the time to live it.
