Quotes by Layton Green (?)

“When I read and when I write, I need at least one character who is a decent soul—flawed, but striving to be good—to hold my interest, and probably even to drive the story.”
― Layton Green

“Remember when I told you I knew about you? You interrupted me. I wasn’t going to say I sympathized with you; I was going to say I didn’t give a damn. Life is hard for everyone, some more than others. But the damage you cause to other people, that’s on you. Your pain has made you into a monster.”
― Layton Green, The Diabolist

“Like all those who have lived their lives on the outskirts of society, his desire for acceptance was as powerful as his inability to find it.”
― Layton Green, The Summoner
