Kindle Notes & Highlights
“These violent delights have violent ends And in their triumph die, like fire and powder. Which, as they kiss, consume.”
Loving someone isn’t dangerous. Falling in love with the wrong someone is.
Because you can only be tethered to someone for so long before the cord begins to strangle you.
Love isn’t powerful because it builds and restores. It’s powerful because it survives destruction.
When someone strips you of your dignity—when they take away your power and control... When they hurt you so much you no longer register pain. You’ll do anything to get your humanity back. Including destroying others…through whatever means necessary.
Then again, faith and fear are powerful manipulators. Some people need something to believe it. While others need something to run from.
Part of caring about someone is accepting their flaws and their pain. Carrying bits and pieces of it with you, so they don’t have to bear all of it on their own.
They say the Devil was once an angel. But no one ever bothered to ask the Devil what led to his downfall, or why he became so evil.
The hardest part of loving someone is knowing it won’t last forever. Sooner or later, one of you will have to let the other go. Because all things, good and bad, come to an end at some point. That’s the way shit works.
