Wild and Wicked Things Quotes

“One for malice
Two for mirth
Three for a death
Four for a birth
Five for silver
Six for gold
Seven for a secret never to be told
Eight for heaven
Nine for hell
Ten to the devil wherever she may dwell”
― Fran Dorricott, Wild and Wicked Things

“I do it because... because this life chews people like us up and spits them right back out again. Because I have never asked for anything more than the safety of my brother and sister, yet all we get is tolerance at best and downright hatred at worst.

― Francesca May, Wild and Wicked Things

― Fran Dorricott, Wild and Wicked Things
