Kindle Notes & Highlights
There may be a great fire in our hearts, yet no one ever comes to warm himself at it, and the passers-by see only a wisp of smoke. Vincent Van Gogh
The opposite of love isn’t hate; it’s death. Your dreams dying, resolutions and loyalties writhing on the floor. On the other side of the door of love is a funeral for who you thought you were. A mirror revealing who you hoped to be as a distorted and idealistic farce.
Few things were sexier than a woman with bloodlust. Too bad I was already dick-whipped by my best friend’s girl.
It’s a compulsive need to wreck everything. You might notice there’s a pattern of stripping down and building back up again throughout my life. I guess that’s how some of us conduct our lives. David Bowie
“The freedom you seek is found in the heart. Your namesake, Onyx Hart, you are the Dragon.”
Imperfection is beauty, madness is genius and it's better to be absolutely ridiculous than absolutely boring. Marilyn Monroe
I loved her not for the way she danced with my angels, but for the way the sound of her name could silence my demons Christopher Poindexter
“That’s it. Watch me fuck you. Watch me paint your pussy in my black seed.”
“Eternity used to be a long time. I dreamed of death for decades. But now that I’ve found you, Blythe, my Death, my reaper, eternity will never be enough.”
Love is friendship that has caught fire. Ann Landers
I have crossed oceans of time to find you. Bram Stoker, Dracula
“She’s stronger than you give her credit for. Just because someone’s lived through hell doesn’t mean they need to be locked away. Hiding her won’t help her.”
Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, only with what you are expecting to give — which is everything. Katharine Hepburn
Yes, my pet, look for Daddy when you fib. I was the father of lies and deceit, and she fucking knew it.
What a pair we are, intrinsically broken but tied to one another by desire and death.
“I don’t care whether you realize it now or a hundred years from now. If you never fall in love with me, fine. I don’t care if Ghost thinks I’m not ready for you. You’re his, but not only his. You are mine, Blythe Pearl. Accept it now or later, it makes no difference to me. I said you’re my wife because you are.”
Everybody is equally weak on the inside, just that some present their ruins as new castles and become kings.
Love is the death of self. To ask someone to be your belladonna isn’t just for the party and festivities. It’s a symbol that you would give your life for theirs.”
“I would deny myself air and sunlight and fire and music for you, Blythe. I can live without blood.
When you love someone, you love the whole person as he or she is, and not as you would like them to be.
I love her, and that’s the beginning and end of everything.
I love you because the entire universe conspired to help me find you.
“We are the women who fell in love with monsters.”
