The Revered and the Pariah Quotes

“Let me love you. Let me in despite your demons, and let me face them myself when the time comes.”
― J.E. Reed, The Revered and the Pariah

“It’s not a matter of manipulation. They’ll all be justified in their actions and words. I’m afraid you’ll finally hear something that crosses a line you can’t bear. I’m afraid you’ll be disgusted by it and never want to see me again.” Arianna silenced him with a kiss. “I’m not disgusted by you.” “Maybe you should be.” “You’re as much a victim to the world, you know.” “It doesn’t excuse what I’ve done. Plenty of others have had their share of difficult lives without resorting to killing." Arianna lowered her voice. “Let me love you. Let me in despite your demons, and let me face them myself when the time comes.”
― J.E. Reed, The Revered and the Pariah
