Hunting Adeline (Cat and Mouse, #2)

by H.D. Carlton

The sun will explode, and the earth will deteriorate before a perfect world ever exists. Humans will kill themselves off before that can happen.

These flames will die, but the ones in Hell are eternal.

Men have this funny habit of thinking they're entitled to women, especially when they don't respect them. As if their respect is a determining factor on how women deserve to be treated.

what do words fucking matter when no one listens?

People often only care about life when it’s inside of a woman’s stomach but stop caring once that life is born.

the sickest of humanity go out of their way to appear the prettiest.

“Your mom doesn’t hate you, Addie. She hates herself. And she doesn’t resent you because you’re not living the life she wanted for herself, she resents you because you were living the life you wanted, and she wasn’t.”

It doesn’t give me anxiety like I thought it would. Instead, it gives me a sense of relief.

there is a difference between those who are needlessly evil and those who do bad things hoping that something good will come out of it.

My inner feminist doesn’t need no man’s approval.

Money is an illusion, and a powerful one. It turns men into spineless assholes with no real regard for human life except their own.

I am drowning. And the scariest part—I don’t feel the need to come up for air.

"Without you, I will shatter. But with you, I am indestructible."

One cannot wield power if one does not have control over it.

Heaven isn’t a place you go to when you die, it’s inside the person that’s worth dying for.
