“that is the thing about selfish people. they
gamble entire beings. entire souls to please their own. one second they are holding you like the world in their lap and the next they have belittled you to a mere picture. a moment. something of the past. one second. they swallow you up and whisper they want to spend the rest of their life with you. but the moment they sense fear. they are already halfway out the door. without having the nerve to let you go with grace. as if the human heart means that little to them.
and after all this. after all of the taking. the nerve. isn't it sad and funny how people have more guts these days to undress you with their fingers than they do pick up the phone and call. apologize. for the loss. and this is how you lose her.
- selfish”

“Успяваше да ми въздейства така дълбоко, на такова първично ниво, и в същото време толкова ме дразнеше...Контрастът буквално предизвикваше световъртеж. Как бе възможно да се чувствам привлечена от мъж, чиито думи би трябвало да ме отблъснат?”
