Kindle Notes & Highlights
“None of us are powerless. Choice is the most powerful thing in this world. Everyone has a choice.”
“There’s no fault. That’s like trying to blame the sky for being blue. The color doesn’t exist; it’s a phenomena made up of layers of ozone and oxygen. “We’re just layers of molecules, our brains hardwired to make up our personalities, our identity. It’s predestined. No amount of nurture or abuse could change either one of us.”
“I hate you,” I whisper. “You hate everything but me.”
From the very beginning, people have divided good and evil. Two beings fighting for dominance. I don’t believe in divine beings. Life is simpler than that. We’re our own gods and devils. Capable of the vilest evil and of the holiest righteousness. We make our own rules, and create our own heavens and hells.
Solitude reveals who we are. Isolation is not loneliness; it’s the absence of noise and distraction. It forces you to acknowledge your worth. If you must surround yourself with people, you invite distractions from the one person deserving of your time: you.

“Courting. I suppose this would be considered dating to a psychopath. A romantic dinner after a little strangulation foreplay.”
“Do we love each other, or are we merely crazy for each other? I know I’m crazy—maddeningly crazy for you. Obsession is a far more evocative emotion than love.”
“We weren’t born the day we took our first breath. We were born the moment we stole it.”
“You’re absolutely mad.” His smile is shattering. “I can’t wait for you to join me.”
