Kindle Notes & Highlights
Want is a dangerous emotion. When it’s strong enough, all other emotions fade into the background.
This is such a gripping line, as are most of the lines in this book. This author really knows how to make their readers think beyond normal boxes.
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.
“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’re monsters.” I look at him then, breathless and torn. “And our love is this monstrous thing that will devour us.”
I stare up at him, a beautiful, dark god towering over his own insane creations.
